In Tuscany the holiday in farmhouse is ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in nature, for those who love trekking, sea, fishing and cycling.
The Tuscan farmhouse is therefore also the ideal destination for children and family vacations!
Often the guests of a farmhouse do not just want to visit the cities or the Tuscan villages but want to find slower and relaxed life rhythms.
In the farmhouses you can taste the typical dishes of the Tuscan tradition cooked starting from direct production ingredients such as wine, extra virgin olive oil, but also “vinsanto”, vegetables, eggs, chickens rabbits, lambs and more.
Often it is also possible to buy these products and bring home a bit of the genuineness of Tuscan cuisine.
Today the old rural houses have been converted into comfortable residence with pool, where the rooms or apartments are equipped with heating and air conditioning.
The rural tourism in Tuscany is therefore essentially represented by the holiday in Farmhouses, a vacation in nature where to seek relaxation and rest from the frenetic life of the big cities.
A holiday devoted to oneself, to the family and children, to spend a more peaceful time away from crowds and stress, immersed in untouched nature.
The farmhouse in Tuscany is the ideal place for children.
Far from the dangers of cities, they can run and play in touch with nature. Children can visit the farms and rediscover contact with animals, play outdoors, ride bicycles or dive into the pool.
And waht about the snacks?
In the Farmhouse the children will be able to eat fresh and genuine food, make delicious snacks with simple and healthy ingredients just like once.
You know, Tuscany is the home of good food.
The Tuscany farmhouse often offers children the experience of the “Didactict Farm”.
A didactic farm is the ideal environment to allow the child to establish “true” contact with nature and the agricultural world.
Spending a day in the countryside, lying on the grass, visiting a stable, stroking a goat, gathering cobwebs, sowing, smelling the must … are experiences unknown to most of today’s children.
It is the farmer, who lives on a daily basis peasant reality, the most suitable figure for transmitting love for the earth and at the same time stimulating the curiosity of the children.
By exploring, observing and rediscovering nature, the child becomes in this experience, active protagonist, capable of expressing his perceptions and emotions.
Many Tuscan farmhouses have Didactict Farm to ensure this wonderful experience for children.
Even at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort, animals and nature play a central role.
Kids can run safely in the vast meadows or go down to the chicken coop where every morning they can choose fresh eggs for their breakfast.
What to say, an incredible experience!
