Holiday farmhouses in Lombardy are high-level accomodations. Most holiday farmhouses in Lombardy offer a restaurant service to their resident e non resident guests. Restaurants in farmhouses profit of the local produce, often cultivated by the restaurants' owners, and the results are magnificent. Even great chefs proudly claim to cook "locally", using fresh and typical ingredients of the tradition. That's why restaurants in holiday farmhouses are often the best restaurants in the region, and that's particularly true in Lombardy where most farmhouses are restaurants.
A farmhouse holiday is an interesting alternative to the usual seaside or mountain vacation. A holiday in a farmhouse can provide a well balanced mix of relax, culture, nature and fantastic food. In Italy holiday farmhouses are common in all the country, but especially in the Central regions: Tuscany, Umbria, Le Marche, Latium. But the other Italian regions are quickly catching up, since this kind of accomodation and vacation is widely successful among tourists. Living in a farmhouse allows the tourists to experience directly the Italian lifestyle in the most beautiful areas of Italy.
Lombardy is probably not the most famous touristic region in Italy, but it offers a surprisingly wide variety of landscapes: the mountains (Central Alps) degrading into romantic hills, the alpine lakes and the plains (the vast "Pianura Padana"). Finding a holiday farmhouse in Lombardy is quite easy because farmhouses are very common in all the region which used to be extensively cultivated and still is. Most ancient farmhouses in Lombardy have been restored and offer a high-standard accomodation and services.
A farmhouse holiday in Lombardy will make you experience the tasty flavours of an ancient rural cooking tradition, which characterised the region before the Industrialisation. Northern Italy's food culture is quite different from the Southern one, the most reknowed outside Italy, often and incorrectly identified as the only "Italian cooking style". Even food names hardly sounds "Italian" to foreigners' ears: buseca, casoeula, bruscitt. But risotto and polenta are all the rage in high-class restaurants and they're staples of Nothern Italy's cuisine, as much as spaghetti are the symbol of Southern Italy's tradition. Another Northern delicacy is cured meat, which is often produced by farmhouses' landlords.
