Sink into the serene pace of Italy\u2019s countryside with a stay in a restored farmhouse on a working vineyard or olive farm. Otherwise known as an agriturismo<\/em>, it’s is\u00a0a popular choice for travelers who wish to\u00a0experience the epic\u00a0landscape in\u00a0an intimate way, far from the bustle and beeping of cities like Rome, if only for a few nights.<\/p>\n

In many instances, those who stay on these working farms are invited to participate in traditional grape or olive harvests, as well as enjoy home-cooked meals (and sometimes cooking lessons) with the owners. You’ll feel like part of the family, and\u00a0with each\u00a0sip of Chianti, the “real world” will slip further and further away.<\/p>\n

Italy boasts thousands\u00a0of agriturismos<\/em>, ranging from rustic to high-end, but the largest collection is\u00a0concentrated in the Tuscany region, which is anchored by cities such as Florence, Siena and Pisa, and boasts\u00a0a rolling countryside\u00a0that cradles vineyards, olive groves and small villages. Rent a car (necessary for navigating the quiet country roads) and book four to six months in advance for stays during summer months.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Here are seven to inspire your next trip to Italy, all bookable on Orbitz.<\/p>\n
