There are many genres of agritourism in Italy, but an Italy agriturismo is basically an Italian farm that produces and sells food and offers hospitality to guests, either in the form of a restaurant or holiday accommodation. The movement for “Agriturismo Italy” is a government backed initiative to provide tax breaks and finance to Italian farm owners who wish to benefit from these agri tourism incentives by opening their farmhouses for holidays and vacations in Italy. Fontechiara agriturismo is a working farm or or small holding with animals and crops that include fruit & nut trees and a productive olive grove.
Originally built in 1782 was totally restructured in 1995 to include all modern conveniences. The farm includes a swimming pool and animals that include horses, geese, chickens and doves. Each year we sow vegetables and grow these organically so that the food we offer our guests is fresh and harmless to the environment.
