To fully experience the atmosphere of Tuscany, there is nothing better than staying on a farm for agritourism, i.e., facilities where agricultural production, the enhancement of local resources and hospitality under the banner of tradition are the order of the day.
Whether close to the sea or in an ancient village, amid gentle hills or set in the wilderness, close to spas or in the mountains, the over 5.000 facilities privilege an intelligent, active tourism, paying attention to what the territory has to offer and in contact with nature, people and the wine and food tradition.
Let's find out together how to choose the right type of agritourism for your needs!
The sea view on an unspoiled coastline like Tuscany's - rich in colors and history - can definitely be one of the reasons to choose a farm for agritourism near the beach.
It will be easy to alternate between sea and countryside if the starting point is a facility in Maremma: the Parco Regionale della Maremma (Maremma Regional Park) and the Etruscan Coast offer the possibility of reaching beaches with golden sand and coves with crystal clear sea.
The Gulf of Baratti, Bolgheri and Castiglioncello are just some of the most striking destinations that can be reached, not to mention - further south - Mount Argentario and - a little further north - all of Versilia.
Without a doubt, the rural soul on a farm for agritourism finds its ideal dimension in the countryside. Tuscany offers unique landscapes, known all over the world thanks to the beauty of its nature.
So you can choose between the gentle hills of Chianti, the spectacular natural pictures of the Val d'Orcia or the more rugged and spiritual soul of Casentino.
After spending the day visiting the medieval villages that dot these dream-like landscapes, it will be even nicer to return to the farm for agritourism and take advantage of the services offered such as horseback riding, educational farms - suitable for a vacation with your whole family - tastings of the area's prized products and dream-like swimming pools, in some cases even saltwater pools.
Finally, if what you are looking for is total detachment from your daily routine, a farm for agritourism with a wellness center or located near a thermal village is the right solution for you.
Tuscany is the land of spas, and there are many farms for agritourism that offer, in addition to a vacation amidst nature, the possibility of enjoying customized wellness treatments.
Not only that, several facilities also offer the possibility of a stay characterized by sustainability, where the wellbeing of your body goes hand in hand with that of the planet.
Bagno Vignoni, Saturnia, San Casciano dei Bagni, Chianciano Terme are just some of the most well-known and popular destinations.
