Winning tip:

Torre Cangiani, near Sorrento
Posted by Jarvman
It's the real deal: a gorgeous place with endlessly enthusiastic hosts in an organic lemon grove looking straight out to Capri. Aldo's the farmer who bakes you your fresh bread for breakfast while you sit round the big kitchen table. His wife Matilde cooks dinner - plenty of fish and home grown vegetables. The farmhouse is an old stone Saracen watchtower with rambling extensions; stay in the tower or in a separate cottage with its own lawn looking out to the Bay of Naples. There is splendid isolation at the Torre, but with nearby buses to the nature reserves of the Punta Campanella and the Amalfi Coast. When we left, Aldo gave us a rucksack of his lemons. So recommended it's not true.

Da Domenico, Arezzo, Tuscany
Posted by chicachick
On a sunny afternoon driving around Tuscany, we were lost and desperate to find somewhere to stay. We were about to give up and opt for a motel when we came across Agriturismo da Domenico near Cortona. We were greeted by Domenico's family who welcomed us as if we were lost relatives. The rooms were rustic and beautifully decorated and the farmhouse out of this world.
Our wonderful dinner, full of locally grown ingredients including veal and vegetables, was served with local wine and spirits.
We didn't only found a great place to stay, but we experienced the real Italy and made friends.

Santa Lorica, Livorno, Tuscany
Posted by dawnhove
Surrounded by wooded hills and vine covered slopes, this rural agri’ is perfect for foodies and families . Breakfast on homemade preserves, tarts and local cheeses while taking in the views across to the wonderful medieval town of Sassetto. The evening meal was our daily highlight, the friendly owner and his family served delicious and unusual regional dishes, always with an equally tasty veggie option. We chatted over plentiful supplies of the local wine at communal tables under the stars while the kids hunted in the grounds for wild boar and fireflies.

Ai Casali, Cividale del Friuli, Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Posted by MexicanWrestler
Nestled in the foothills of the Julian Alps, surrounded by forest, vineyards and cornfields, you get a feeling of seclusion and isolation at Ai Casali. The rooms are light, airy, rustic but modern, and breakfast sets you up for a day’s relaxation, be it by the pool or using the wellness area. The town of Cividale is a two-mile walk away with restaurants and bars serving delicious Italian and Friulian food and wine. You feel like you are a million miles away however, as you sit by the pool or drink in the views from your balcony.

Oasi Verde Mengara, Gubbio, Umbria
Posted by milamila
Agriturismos are the trend of the moment in Italy, popping up everywhere, which makes it more difficult to find the good ones like Oasi Verde Mengara. It has lovely rooms (some with wooden four-poster beds) in an old casa colonica, with private pool. What makes it very special though is the food: opt for the half board and you’ll taste the best Italian food ever. And you can even eat a la carte. Pick the amazing antipasto oasi verde for two, which is a whole meal of traditional recipes. Between Gubbio and Perugia, two of Umbria’s stunning medieval towns.

Azienda Agrituristica Fiorano, Marche
Posted madcrazybird
This place gives you a glimpse of the perfect life. Paolo and Paola are the best hosts, the olive trees are magnifi cent and the wine from the vineyard superb. We went for Easter weekend and were astonished by the hospitality; we had the most amazing Easter breakfast and traditional Pranzo meal . I went to visit an olive tree that had been “adopted” for me and arrived to find a bottle of the farm’s wine waiting for us to enjoy at the base of its trunk!

Posted by PhillipAu
An organic farm run on an ethical basis, it also does agritourisme. Parts of the house date back centuries and it’s beautifully situated in the Drome valley on the edge of the Alps. We had a wonderful family holiday years ago and our daughter has since returned to work and holiday there. The people who run it are great and will collect you from the local station.

Can Marti, Ibiza
Posted by geriblake
A wonderfully quiet eco-farm in the north of the island where the only sounds are donkeys padding up and down paddocks in the early morning or frogs croaking in the bullrushes. The rooms are beautifully decorated with local materials and natural paints, and the farm is surrounded by orchards and vegetable patches. If you
feel daring you can help to fertilise them by using the special sawdust toilets. Set in a peaceful valley that you’ll never want to leave, its farm shop gives you the chance to buy delicious homemade olive oil, bread, cheese and wine.
