It’s August, finally it’s time for the long-awaited holidays! Here are some tips to spend a weekend away from city stress and hectic pace we’re used to… so we go to the discovery of 5 beautiful farmhouses located in truly unique landscape contexts, pampered by genuine hospitality and delicious food!
1) Wine tasting in Valdobbiadene
The first destination for our Feast of the Assumption is the Farmhouse B&B Roccat, which is set in the hills of Valdobbiadene, a land known throughout the world for the production of high-quality wines, where the particular composition of the soil and the microclimate make the Prosecco delicious.

The farmhouse Roccat follows all the phases of wine-making, fermentation and bottling. Guests are welcomed in the tasting room, with sparkling wine and delicious snacks made of charcuterie and cheeses. The guests will be offered tours of the winery and vineyards, on booking, and the opportunity to learn the wine-making process. Six cozy rooms have been converted from the great barn of the old rural building, and still preserve the rural atmosphere of the place, overlooking a wonderful landscape.
2) Charm organic oasis in Lombardy
A little distance from Lecco and Lake Como, surrounded by forests and hills in the Park Montevecchia and Curone Valley, lies the Farmhouse Oasi di Galbusera Bianca, stemming from the architectural recovery with the use of green architecture and renewable energy resources of the fourteenth-century village: 5 historical farms, a heated indoor pool, a spa, and a biodynamic farm with a restaurant serving natural food,

and spaces devoted to seminars about lifestyle in harmony with nature. The “Osteria Bio”, available on request, is a cozy place where you can rediscover forgotten flavors from the gardens and orchards that surround the village, and simple and natural organic food, almost completely vegetarian. Among the proposed activities, workshops for children and educational tours in the garden; it is in fact a WWF oasis for biodiversity. Beautiful accommodation for guests through 10 individually designed rooms, each with its own style and its own particular atmosphere, decor and colors.
3) Holidays in the heart of nature on Lake Trasimeno
Here in Umbria, the Farmhouse Poggio Bella Vista, in a panoramic location on the hills surrounding Lake Trasimeno,

At the center, a beautiful 18-meter swimming-pool and paths for walking and mountain biking, while only 5 km away you can take advantage of a riding school. Guests are welcomed in 7 independent apartments from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and Lake Trasimeno, with rustic decor and a cozy atmosphere.
4) Typical cuisine in Viterbo
The next stop is Lazio, at the Farmhouse Monteparadiso, a recent construction located in a beautiful hilly
landscape just a short distance from Viterbo and Terme dei Papi. Do not miss the specialty of the restaurant that serves typical food from Tuscia and Lazio, a great choice of wines, in addition to great pizza cooked in a wood oven. During the hot summer days, the swimming-pool in the center of the beautiful garden overlooking the surrounding landscape will be wonderful, and the veranda is ideal for outdoor dining. Based on fresh ingredients and a simple menu, we find all the typical dishes of the season, such as homemade pasta, soups and delicious seasonal vegetables with mushrooms and truffles.
5) Ancient rural charm and relaxation in Agrigento
Here we are finally in beautiful Sicily, in the Agrigento inland, where lies the Farmhouse Baglio San Nicola. This enchanting and majestic

structure, dating from the late nineteenth century, allows guests to stay in a place of timeless charm, thanks to an accurate restoration process. Today Baglio San Nicola is a farmhouse that stands out for its ability to blend together the taste and sophistication of the past with the comforts of the present. Accommodation here is intimately related to agricultural activity; during the walks you can admire the extensive cultivated fields surrounding the farm, which produces cereals, vegetables, high-quality oil and table grapes and wine. A wonderful swimming pool at guests’ disposal, where you can spend the whole day relaxing, or try the wellness program.
