Farmhouse holidays can suit different kind of tourism: they're ideal for single tourists, big families and couples. From Tuscany to Sicily, farmhouses are restored and converted into comfortable residences, they're frequently equipped with swimming pool and tennis courts, they offer wine and cheese degustation, they use their own produce and meat for cooking. And plus, your kids can get to know real domestic animals for once!
A farmhouse holiday will make you experience the tasty flavours of an ancient cooking tradition. Italy's food culture is not the same in the different regions you could choose for your farmhouse holiday. Even food names hardly sounds "Italian" to foreigners' ears; but if you think spaghetti and pizza are the main courses in Italy, you’ll be surprised by the great variety of food displayed in every region, almost in every village you visit. Spending your time in a holiday farmhouse, you’ll taste produce, cured meat and dairy products created by our own landlords. Not to mention the fact that most of the food produced in holiday farmhouses is organic.

You'll live in a "big Italian family", with all the confidence and informality which will make you at ease in any situation.

Your hosts will suggest you the most beautiful places to visit, and you'll get the chance to taste the local traditional food, often raised and produced in the farmhouse. And you'll want to take some goodies with you to remember your pleasure time, once you come back home.
