Agriturismo holidays offer accommodation and catering in a very special setting. Each agriturismo in Lombardy must comply with the legal requirements outlined in a regional law passed on 31 January 1992. An agriturismo combines agricultural activity with tourist accommodation and is run by agricultural entrepreneurs who see to it that the agricultural concerns of the business largely take priority.

Agriturismo holidays in Franciacorta foster in city dwellers a deep interest in all aspects of country life and an opportunity to discover the origins and tradition of local produce, and the fragrances and tastes of its land, agriculture, winemaking and animal rearing.

Tourists can look forward to sampling authentic local dishes accompanied by an impressive range of Franciacorta wines at many of the agriturismi. Agriturismi not only provide guests with accommodation in welcoming rooms or apartments, (small or large), they also organise wine tasting events in their cellars. Facilities normally include swimming pools, playing grounds equipped for both toddlers and teenagers and bike hire for those excursions into the countryside. All in all, staying in an agriturismo can be an enchanting experience.

Enthusiasts of the local cuisine and people who want to get involved in a uniquely magical experience can take part in cookery courses held in some of Franciacorta's agriturismi, some of which are held in foreign languages.
Some agriturismi hold courses covering a range of subjects and some hold classes designed for primary and secondary schoolchildren on subjects such as healthy and organic food, what country life is all about and learning about plants and animals.
