Imagine the scene: you are planning your next holidays in Tuscany and comparing the different accommodation facilities to decide where to spend one or more weeks.

You have the traditional hotel in the famous city of art, the aparthotel in the countryside and the small and cute B&B.
And, above all, you have plenty of farmhouses , which in Tuscany are also called Leopoldina or peasant houses.
These buildings, where once lived the "mezzadro" (half tenant) and his family, have been finely renovated and transformed into real luxury holiday villas providing accommodation even for large groups.

The advantages of renting a farmhouse in Tuscany? Tuscan farmhouses, most of which have been renovated in the last few years, are provided with all comforts (satellite TV, Internet connection, and so on).
Unlike in hotels and inns, pets are usually welcome in these facilities surrounded by cereal fields, vineyards and olive groves.
The two-or-more-floor central building is usually divided into various apartments furnished in real country style, which are often rented separately.

Spending your vacations in a Tuscan farmhouse means, thus, living in close contact with nature.
You will also have the opportunity to visit ancient medieval villages at the discovery of valuable cultural and artistic jewels (just think about Pienza, Montalcino, San Gimignano...).
Or, if you prefer, you can regenerate your body and soul in the swimming pool, on the tennis court, on the back of a horse or doing Nordic walking and mountain bike excursions.
