Tuscany is known for its produce: its tomatoes are, arguably, some of the world’s best; the game is phenomenal — as are the native beef and pork, the salamis and the cured meats; the bread, pasta, chestnuts and chickpeas are world famous; and the region is home to several DOP wine regions, including Chianti and Montepulciano. If you’re someone with an interest in fantastic produce (where it comes from, as well as how it tastes), then you might want to focus your accommodation search on Tuscany’s agriturismo. There's a healthy range to choose from here. They're often historic properties (beautifully converted old farm buildings), set amid incredible countryside and with views to match. Some are adults-only, others welcome guests of all ages; some aspire to be luxurious hideaways, whilst others offer a simpler, more basic, holiday base. Many have great amenities too with expansive gardens and lovely pools for lazy days. You can self-cater, or be provided for, usually with bounty from the property's own land. Our pick of the best agriturismo in Tuscany are located all over the region, and there's plenty to satisfy most tastes and budgets.
