Hospitality at the human level

Sleeping in agritourism

Agritourism is an opportunity to meet others: the people who work on the farm, the other guests, people who live in the area, animals.
Encounters of this kind make agritourism a very different experience from hotel accommodation or other tourist facilities, and this is why many tourists, when they have the chance, return several times to their favourite holiday farm, where they often establish true friendships.
This climate of friendship and social interaction characterizes every moment of the agritourism experience. Many guests ask their hosts to talk about their family history and that of the land they live on, others ask for information about life in the country and working the land, and some even want to participate in certain phases of the production cycle.
In short, agritourism is always a process of familiarization with agriculture and with aspects of it that are today unknown to city dwellers.
For those who run the farm, the guests are always the centre of attention and are free not only to organize their time as they wish, but also to ask for personalized service. Along with informality, the farm offers a sense of freedom from rules and from stress.
