In South Tyrol in Italy, we went on a farm holiday for the first time in our lives. And it is more luxurious than you think! It is even one of the most luxurious places we have ever stayed. We often think back to the delicious breakfast and the two lovely farm cats.
Helping on the farm is allowed, but not required. You can also just go looking for the best local products in the surrounding farm cafés. And there are quite a few in South Tyrol. Or stretch your legs and go hiking in the Dolomites.
A farm holiday is an excellent way to get acquainted with slow travel. A slow and sustainable way of traveling, but one that is very rewarding.
