The great success of farmhouse holidays is far away from stopping or even declining... more and more people are attracted by this new kind of holiday, able to revive ancient atmospheres and old rustic flavours. A farmhouse holiday can be a perfect solution for different needs: single holiday, family or group holiday, couple holiday. Surrounded by nature, kids can get in touch with domestic animals (something they can rarely do in their everyday life) and adults can taste typical food and wines from local farmers. The more sporty ones will have the chance to practice horse-riding, biking on the hills and swimming or playing tennis, as most restored farmhouses are provided with swimming pools and tennis courts.
Germans, English, Americans, Japanese: all the nationalities are represented among farmhouses tourists. The increasingly great success of farm holidays in Italy is not surprising: a farmhouse allows a wider freedom in comparison to traditional hotels and a closer connection to nature and rural life. Living in a farmhouse can take you back to a different, basic human dimension, which is lost to so many people, in so many countries. Confidence, truthfulness, informality: enjoy the atmosphere created by a traditional Italian farmhouse, wholesome and earthy meals, friendly and reliable landlords. That's the added value brought to you by a farmhouse holiday in Italy.
Holiday farmhouses are having a great success in Lombardy. From the river Po to the romantic Lake District (comprehending Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, Lake Iseo, Lake Garda), holiday farmhouses allow the visitors to reconnect themselves with nature, tradition and rural culture. And that's the main reason for their success and their increasing diffusion. The diffusion of this new for of accomodation for tourists helped the restoration of ancient farmhouses which risked to be destroyed and got lost for good. Holiday farmhouses often offer the opportunity to taste organic produce and organic meat, raised and cultivated by the farmhouses' owners themselves.
A farmhouse holiday in Lombardy will make you experience the tasty flavours of an ancient rural cooking tradition, which characterised the region before the Industrialisation. Northern Italy's food culture is quite different from the Southern one, the most reknowed outside Italy, often and incorrectly identified as the only "Italian cooking style". Even food names hardly sounds "Italian" to foreigners' ears: buseca, casoeula, bruscitt. But risotto and polenta are all the rage in high-class restaurants and they're staples of Nothern Italy's cuisine, as much as spaghetti are the symbol of Southern Italy's tradition. Another Northern delicacy is cured meat, which is often produced by farmhouses' landlords.
