Wherever we travel, we are mostly aware of the many types of accommodation on offer. The choice is varied including hotels, motels, B&Bs, guesthouses and monasteries.  Sometimes we chose to rent an apartment or house, particularly if we plan to stay in the one area for an extended period of time.

Another wonderful option for accommodation in Italy is to stay in an Agriturismo.  Also known as: farm-house accommodation, farm stays, farm holidays,  rural retreats

Agriturismo – a combination of the words for “agriculture” and “tourism” in Italian – is a style of vacationing in farm-house resorts codified into Italian law in 1985. These agritourismi allow the small farmer to augment the income from the farm, and for vacationers to sample the bounty of a rural life in Italy. Often they have their own vineyards so the wine you may enjoy with your meals is also locally produced.

Agriturismo, farm-house holiday accommodations, can be found in many parts of Italy and are popular with those travelling by car. Agriturismo is a great lodging option for families or groups of friends traveling together and accommodations can range from rustic to luxurious. Most farm houses offer bed and breakfast and some have a swimming pool, restaurant, cooking classes, or other special ammenities.

Agriturismi (plural) are not usually in the centre of town but are found out in the countryside on their own parcels of land.  Each one that I have stayed in we needed a car to get to.

Agriturismi (plural) are also a popular place for Sunday lunch. They are a great little getaway for families and friends. It is a wonderful way to taste local foods which are prepared from home-grown produce on the farm or at least locally. Eating at an agriturismo is also a great way to meet up with people away from the busy restaurants and cafes in the cities or towns.

agriturismo

Each time I have stayed in the village of Pievebovigliana we have enjoyed lunch and dinner at the fabulous agriturismo Roccamaia. The welcome we receive when we arrive is like we are coming home. The owner and his wife make the choices for our dishes which keep coming for hours. Each course is washed down with a locally produced delicious wine.  At this agriturismo, it is not unusual for the staff including the chef to join in for a song or two. A mid day meal at this or probably any agriturismo is usually a 4 or more hour gustation.  And, don’t be surprised if you are offered a small glass of homemade grappa or limoncello before you leave the establishment.  And the nicest surprise at the end of the meal is the bill, it is usually very good value.

DSCF1018

Our experience with staying at an Agriturismo has always been very enjoyable. The evening meal and breakfast is often a family type affair, other guests and sometimes the family of the owners have joined us.

I initially purchased a book from a tabacchi on Agriturismo. This book listed hundreds of agriturismi around Italy. You can also find them online, just google – Agriturismo.

After many years of travelling to and around Italy, I have put together a snapshot of some of the beautiful places where I have spent time.  These are not always the places that first come to mind when one thinks of Italy. In fact they are places that were special to me and have left wonderful memories in my mind and heart.  Some of the photos you will recognize and some you may never have heard of.

So here are 25 reasons to visit Italy. Maybe  these photos will make you want to jump on a plane right now and fly to Italy.

Amalfi Coast –  this is where dreams are made.  Is a stretch of coastline on the southern coast of the Sorrentine Peninsula in Southern Italy.  The Amalfi coast consists of many beautiful little townships and villages. I rented an apartment here for 2 weeks and really experienced the area, especially the beaches.

Vieste – Is a glorious marine resort on the southeast Adriatic coast of Italy. It appeared to be a very popular holiday destination for Italians as we felt as though we were the only English-speaking visitors.  We took a jet boat ride out to the caves which were very beautiful although we were concerned about the lack of safety precautions by the jet boat company.

Vieste

Venice – one of my favourite major cities in Italy. I have visited this fabulous city many times and each time I discover more and I like it more.

Trulli – Alberobello.  These are traditional Apulian dry stone huts with a conical roof from the 19th century.

Puglia

Pievebovigliana in Marche is a commune within the Monti Sibillini National park. I rented a house here for a month.

DSCF1987

Camerino – An impressive small hill town on the border between Marche and Umbria. It is home to the University of Camerino founded in the Middle Ages.  I visited this great little town many times as I was staying in Pievebovliana which was only about 20 mins drive away.

Monti Sibillini – part of the central Apennines situated between Umbria and Marche

Bagni di Lucca – I rented an apartment and stayed here for a month.  Every day was a day of new discoveries, meeting new people, visiting many of the towns and villages in the area and “living” the local life.  This was definitely living the dream.

Barga – This medieval hilltop town is just a short drive from Bagni di Lucca. Another place that took my breath away.

Cinque Terre – The 5 lands.  This is a definite must when visiting Italy. I have stayed here several times and enjoy every minute of it every time. It is very easy to access by train from almost anywhere in Italy.

Wagging School in Italy

While we were attending the school in Castelraimondo, we cut class on Wednesdays to go to the markets in Macerata.  First thing Wednesday morning we would walk into the town and take the train to Macerata. The train ride takes about an hour, then from the train station in Macerata we walked up the hill to the markets. It is quite a tough climb up the hill to the centre and to the markets.  You may find it easier to take a taxi.

When we were renting the house in Pievebogliana we drove our rental car to Macerata which took about 40 minutes.  We found parking to be quite easy although it was a bit of a walk to the markets. Macerta is about 30 k’s from the Adriatic coast.

Macerata – Wikipedia

These street markets are one of the largest markets that I have been to in Italy, and I have been to many.  They fill up many up the streets which are terraced up the centre of the town to the top with stalls and punters . You  can easily make it a  full day outing.  Here in these markets or street fairs you will find antiques, bric-a-brac, the not-so-old stuff that’s known in Italy as modernariato, and leatherwear, shoes, clothing and handbags, and of course many of the vendors selling lots of delicious foods.

??????????? ??????????? ???????????

Late morning, we always stopped for coffee and cornetto at the top of the markets in a little café where we could relax, drink our coffee, look at our purchases and check our emails using the free WIFI.

???????????

Later in the day we would choose another café or restaurant for a local lunch.

??????????? ???????????

Macerata is a little-known provincial capital surrounded by Marche’s loveliest countryside. Its ancient university was founded in 1290 and has about 13,000 students. There is also an art school.

Castleraimondo and Roma 125

And if you’re the slightest bit interested in contemporary art, Macerata has a gallery that alone is reason enough for visiting the town.

???????????

This town is easy-paced and unpretentious, it’s an ideal place to wind down in the evenings after exploring the province.

Pievebovigliana – Renting a house in Italy

Since my last post on Pievebovigliana I have been asked –

Where is Pievebovigliana.

stew italy entire card 585

Pievebovigliana is located about 70km southwest of Ancona which is on the Adriatic Coast, and about 40km southwest of Macerata.

Pieve

We visited  Macerata many times, both when we were staying in Pieve and when we were going to school in Castelraimondo.  We took the train from Castelraimondo and drove from Pieve to Macerata.

DSCF1848-1

Pievebovigliana is between the towns of Camerino, Caldarola, Cessapalombo and Fiastra.  It is formed of a number of small hamlets, and lies in the very picturesque valley of the Fornace stream.

DSCF1007

DSCF1843-1

There are forests of chestnuts and oak trees in the area around the hamlet called “Isola”, a pinewood at Quartignano and at Boccafornace a Karst spring originating a spectacular lake. The territory has an age-old, still lively traditions of cloth-making on hand-looms, wood carving and honey production.

To arrive in Pievebovigliana, we took the train from Roma Termini to Foligno  railway station where we were met by our friend Malcolm who drove us to the house in Pievebovigliana.  It was only a 2 hour train trip from Rome.

DSCF1862-1 DSCF1866-1

On the way from Foligno to the house we stopped at a restaurant in a little village for a prosecco and pizza. Very pleasant.  This is when I was introduced to my favourite pizza. Quattro stagione – 4 seasons

Pizza 2

There are many versions of this compartmentalized pizza, since local ingredients are used.  But, all reflect the ingredients one can find fresh in each of the four seasons.  Spring features artichoke hearts and Fontina cheese. Summer has tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese.  Look for the colours of autumn in mushrooms and red peppers and in winter it is traditionally with onion and potato.

Pievebovigliana – Renting a house in Italy

castelraimondo, italy, language school, Pievebovigliana, renting house in Italy

On one of our trips we rented a house for a month in Le Marche area of Italy in a village called Pievebovigliana.   

Pievebovigliana is located within the Monti Sibillini National Park. It is a such  a beautiful and peaceful area.

DSCF1837

We have friends, we met at the language school in Castelraimondo who live in this area and know the owners of the house, so they helped us to rent it from the owners.

DSCF1860-1

The house was a few kilometers from the local village which necessitated the rental of a car.

DSCF1874 DSCF1869

It worked well as having the facilities to prepare many of our meals at home more than paid for the cost of the car rental. This house was fully equipped and stocked with everything that we could possibly need.  The agreement was, if we used any of the consumables we replaced them.

DSCF1840

It was very easy to drive into the village to the local bar, Varnelli bar, for a café and dolce for breakfast or morning snack or a gelato or a vino any other time.

DSCF1830

DSCF1829

DSCF1867-1

Also, staying in such a small village we found eating out to be very reasonable. With the car, we could go wherever we wanted to.

DSCF1848-1

We were certainly not limited with our destinations. We quickly became part of the local scene, attending the weekly football matches both at home games and away games.  After the games we were always invited to the local bar or café for a gelato or coffee or even a wine. Being Aussies, we always had a vino.

DSCF1856-1

It did not take long for the locals to accept us and within days we would come home to gifts left on our outdoor table, almost daily, including home made wine, home grown vegetables and fruits, fresh eggs and the local truffles.

We were invited to many of the festivities, of which there were lots, in the local and surrounding areas.

One day, by chance we went truffle hunting. Tell you about this in another post.

One evening, we prepared and hosted a successful Italian dinner party for 12 – more another time on this one.

This was living La Dolce Vita.
