Bed and breakfast in Italy
A Bed and Breakfast (often referred to as a B&B) is a type of boarding
house typically operating out of a large single family residence, many know in
Italy
Guests are accommodated at night in private bedrooms and breakfast
is served in the morning - either in the bedroom or, more commonly, in a dining
room or the host's kitchen.
Bathrooms can be private or shared (with other
guests or with the family in smaller establishments) or en-suite (where the
ablutions are directly accessed from the guest's bedroom).
B&Bs may
be operated either as a primary occupation or as a secondary source of income.
Staff often consists of the house's owners and members of their family who live
there.
Guests are usually expected to pay for their stay upon arrival and
leave before noon (or earlier) on the day of departure. A big advantage of this
type of hosted accommodation is the local knowledge of the host(s).
Farmhouses in Italy
Agritourism is a style of vacation in which hospitality is offered on farms.
This may include the opportunity to assist with farming tasks during the visit.
Agritourism is often practiced in wine growing regions, as in Italy, France and
Spain. In America, Agritourism is wide-spread and includes any farm open to the
public at least part of the year. Tourists can pick fruits and vegetables, ride
horses, taste honey, learn about wine, shop in gift shops and farm stands for
local and regional produce or hand-crafted gifts, and much more. Each farm
generally offers a unique and memorable experience suitable for the entire
family. Agritourism is being developed as a valuable component of a business
model to support many agricultural entities when the farm products they produce
are no longer economically competitive otherwise. To help promote the single
agritourism operations, some farms get together to form festivals, tours or
other events. People are more interested in how their food is produced and want
to meet the producers and talk with them about what goes into food production.
Children who visit the farms often have not seen a live duck, or goat, and have
not picked an apple right off the tree. This form of expanded agri-tourism has
given birth to what are often called "entertainment farms." These farms cater to
the pick-your-own crowd, offering not only regular farm products, but also food,
mazes, open-pen animals, train rides, picnic facilities and pick-your-own
produce.
