What is meant by "farmhouse"
In some Country (for example in Italy) they have a unique name: agritourism. In different areas of the world are used different names used to define the same thing: a farm, usually with ecological setting and located in special natural context, which rents rooms to tourists. These farms often allow guests to participate in the agricultural life, very often also have a restaurant with fresh and natural products. In China, these restaurants are getting a great success. To appeal to most tourists, the farmhouse (maybe this is the name most commonly used) often organize activities 'leisure' (connected with the place and with agriculture) as participate in the harvesting of fruits or feed the animals or turn around to know how the agricultural production. They are part of the agricultural traditions also local crafts and foods preserved with technical 'light'. Often the farmhouses are selling genuine agricultural products, free from chemicals and poisons, without preservatives or additives to improve the appearance of the product. The prices for the rooms are often lower than a hotel, but at present there is a tendency to give rooms more carefully and to give a better service. So even according to the location of the structure, the so-called "country room" can have prices comparable or higher than those of the hotels. The lists of 'farmhouse' are often also included country hotels which, although not in agricultural production, are placed in the context of a farm or a natural setting in the countryside. Here are some of the names that are commonly used to define the farmhouse: farm holidays, farm stay, agritourism, country cottage, rural homestay, rural home inns, holiday farm, country inn, rural guesthouses, inn farmstay, farm cottage. |
