Have you ever wondered what is like to live on a farm? Have you heard of agriturismo? Agriturismo is a combination of the English words “agriculture” and “tourism”. Many farms have free rooms and separate attached buildings to them. Some of them can be booked here at Nature.house.

The ones in Italy particularly are a hot spot for tourists through the year, especially in the region of Veneto. From skiing in the mountains in the winter to visiting the golden beaches and lakes in the summer. Immerse yourself in the farmer's life. Eat fresh and delicious fruits and veggies straight out of the garden. Who knows you might learn a thing or two, from your farmer host about growing plants on your own? Most of the accommodations are pet friendly. Some of them have their own swimming pools. And of course, many cattle animals will be your neighbors.
