What is an agriturismo in Tuscany?

While planning their trips, a great many first-time visitors to Tuscany probably ask themselves “What is an agriturismo in Tuscany?” Officially an agriturismo (plural agriturismi) is a vineyard, olive oil producer or other farm that offers holiday accommodation to tourists.

The accommodation can take many forms but is usually a self-catering farmhouse, farm apartment or Bed & Breakfast room.
