Agritourism in the Florentine countryside
Nature and typical products: why and how to choose an agri-tourism resort.
Pure air, healthy products and being immersed in nature, agritourism holidays in Tuscany (farmhouse vacations) contain all of the above. It’s an excellent alternative for an overnight stay that, at times, we might overlook. However, a stay in the countryside can give us a balance between body (and deliciousness for our stomachs!) and mind, hard to find elsewhere.
Agritourism, in fact, can be said to give back to the world a mix of advantages and benefits that only a farm can give to a guest:
- Food, oil and wine: agritourism sites by their very nature have a food and wine offering consisting of freshly picked products from their very grounds. What goodness, what flavor, what pleasure… you certainly won’t be disappointed in Tuscany!
- Surroundings: the structures are nestled in the countryside, in our case Florence, and this can only mean one thing: hills, cypresses, villages and poetry.
- Sport: the very fact that you are in nature grants you free access to all kinds of open-air sports such as cycling, running, hiking, horseback riding, golf, tennis and so on.
- Educational activities: very often the farm offers special experiences for children and adults, creating synergy between the guest, the structure, and its products.
- Price: agritourism is an affordable holiday that meets the budget of many families.
- Peace: those kilometers that will distance you from the city center and make you necessarily need a vehicle, will be the same ones that, let's repeat it, will distance you from the city center; from smog, from traffic, from everything.
AGRITOURISM RESORTS TO TRY IN FLORENCE
If you are passing by, or you are a resident looking for an escape, we want you to have our mini-guide on choosing a quality agritourism:
- Agritourism Tenuta di Capezzana: the Fattoria di Capezzana is a comfortable farmhouse within the estate located in the north of Tuscany, in the municipality of Carmignano just 20 km from Florence with a beautiful view of the Medici Villa and the surrounding vineyards. It covers a total area of ??650 hectares, of which 90 are planted with vineyards and 150 with olive groves and has been entirely organically run since 2015. You can learn about the centenary history of wine and oil production in Capezzana, taste wines such as the award-winning vin santo di Carmignano Doc, and enjoy their products with a lunch in their restaurant, the Vinsantaia Wine Bar.
We chose it because history is synonymous with quality.
- Agriresort Tenute Ruffino: located inside a historic Renaissance villa, the agriresort is just 10 km from Florence, immersed in the greenery of the Chianti area of ??the Municipality of Bagno a Ripoli, within the Poggio Casciano agritourism estate. Here, you have the opportunity to experience all of Ruffino’s hospitality and welcome. Upon reservation, it’s possible to visit the cellars with tasting tours led by their Brand Ambassadors or have the opportunity to enjoy Tuscan cuisine at Le Tre Rane - Ruffino.
Its renowned wine shop is the reason for our choice.
