The number of those who decide to spend their holidays in a holiday farm has lately increased. The success of agritourism is mainly due to the fact that living in a farm is cheaper than spending some days in a hotel or in a villa; moreover, tourists have the opportunity to live absolutely new and genuine experiences. Many ancient villas and peasant houses have been transformed into Chianti holiday farms with an eye to preserving their charm and the nice old-time atmosphere.

During your holidays in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, you can recharge your batteries in the peaceful Chianti hills, covered with forests, olive groves and vineyards. You can walk or horseback ride along paths leading to the many farmhouses and castles that dot the Chianti area.

If you prefer, you can relax by the swimming pool of your holiday farm or reading a book in the garden of your apartment.

Living in a farm, you will have the opportunity to get acquainted with old countryside activities, including grape and olive harvest and livestock farming. Spending your holidays in a holiday farm is the ideal solution for you and your children, who will have the opportunity to play in the open air in close contact with nature.

Last but not least, if you love art and culture, Florence and Siena are within easy car distance. It will be a pleasure to drive in the marvellous Chianti landscape . And do not forget that the churches, parish churches and medieval villages in the Chianti region house less-renowned but nevertheless interesting artistic and architectural treasures.
