What is an Agriturismo and why choose it as a destination for your stay?<\/div>
The term itself, coined in the mid-1960s, guides us in exploring what an agriturismo is and the kind of experience it can offer.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\"Agri\" recalls the word \"Agriculture\" and \"Agricultural Company\"; \"Tourism\" indicates an activity, more often a journey, undertaken for the purpose of leisure, rest, culture, curiosity or well-being.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

First of all, in order to be Agri<\/strong>, you need to be in a place where nature, work in the fields and craftsmanship<\/strong> reign supreme, a place where you earn your daily bread with agricultural work and the transformation of what is harvested from nature and the fields.<\/p>

From here a first consequence immediately follows: Agriturismi are located in places far from the clamor of city traffic, in rural places, where you are surrounded by nature<\/strong>, little frequented by mass tourist flows. The smog of big cities is a distant memory, smells and perfumes are intense<\/strong>. Even the brightness is different<\/strong>, the darkness is deeper, thanks to less light pollution, which allows you to see the stars bigger and closer, whether you are on the plains, on the gentle Apennine hills or on Alpine peaks.<\/p>

But it is not the wild nature of a forest that welcomes those arriving on an Agriturismo, it is a nature worked by the expert hand of man, the nature of a farm<\/strong>. Agriculture must remain the main area of activity of the host family<\/strong>, and the tourist reception activity must be only a pleasant side dish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Usually these are family farms<\/strong>, where an entire family carries out the business activity by deciding to host the tourist inside, to have the pleasure of sharing with him their experience<\/strong>, their passion and the product deriving from their own Work.\u00a0<\/p>

Consequently, food and accommodation are offered within a farm<\/strong>, in areas reserved for tourists but sometimes also in the owners’ homes themselves, who share common spaces, such as the kitchen and sometimes the bathroom, with the guest.<\/p>

In addition to sharing space, agricultural work also provides the majority of the food that is offered to the tourist, the gastronomic products offered must be predominantly grown on the estate<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
