Tuscan farmhouse and "agriturismo" .

Farmhouse Holiday in Tuscany, also called "Agriturismo", is a kind of tourism born in Italy at the end of 80's, driven by necessity from many farmers to join the apartment rental profits to those coming from agriculture.

Mainly consisted in restore the old country house - in Tuscany also called "Casa Colonica" that mean a rural house - and divide into apartment to rent to the tourists looking for a relaxing holiday.

In this case, tourists, could both visit the most important cities of art of Tuscany, like Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano and Volterra and buy genuine products directly to the farm, like chianti red wine, the white wine, the extra vergine oil of olive but also Vin Santo, vegetables eggs and much more.

In the last years, Farmhouse Holiday has been evolved to satisfy numerous guests. Today, infact, the old Tuscany country house has been transformed into Luxury Villas, where apartments dispose of every modern comfort, from heating to the air conditioning, from micro-wave oven to the satellite television together with huge gardens and swimming pool with jacuzzi.

In Italy, the term "Farmhouse" also include other kinds of accommodations like Residence, and Holiday Home which are different from the Farmhouse because the main business is not the farm but the vacation rentals.
