The sea view on an unspoiled coastline like Tuscany's - rich in colors and history - can definitely be one of the reasons to choose a farm for agritourism near the beach.
It will be easy to alternate between sea and countryside if the starting point is a facility in Maremma: the Parco Regionale della Maremma (Maremma Regional Park) and the Etruscan Coast offer the possibility of reaching beaches with golden sand and coves with crystal clear sea.
The Gulf of Baratti, Bolgheri and Castiglioncello are just some of the most striking destinations that can be reached, not to mention - further south - Mount Argentario and - a little further north - all of Versilia.

Agriturism in the countryside

Without a doubt, the rural soul on a farm for agritourism finds its ideal dimension in the countryside. Tuscany offers unique landscapes, known all over the world thanks to the beauty of its nature.
So you can choose between the gentle hills of Chianti, the spectacular natural pictures of the Val d'Orcia or the more rugged and spiritual soul of Casentino.
After spending the day visiting the medieval villages that dot these dream-like landscapes, it will be even nicer to return to the farm for agritourism and take advantage of the services offered such as horseback riding, educational farms - suitable for a vacation with your whole family - tastings of the area's prized products and dream-like swimming pools, in some cases even saltwater pools.
