Farmhouse stays offer an authentic experience of Italy. They fall into a category of luxury that allows travellers to slow down and completely switch off, favouring the simple pleasures over overt opulence. Whether you’re visiting Tuscany, Umbria or Veneto, these renovated properties have been sensitively restored in homage to their rich heritage.
With a stay in one of our farmhouse villas, you can look forward to long meals made with seasonal local produce and, at selected properties, dishes prepared by an in-villa chef. For special requests, our award-winning concierge service can help organise authentic experiences in the surrounding area – from truffle hunting to intimate vineyard visits.
