. These provide an insight into
traditional Tuscan country life and the chance to relax in idyllic rural surrounds. Popular

offer opportunities to do everything from helping to bring in the
grape or olive harvest to feeding the farm animals. Usually with amenities such as swim-
ming pools and home-cooked dinners, they're havens of Tuscan tranquillity.
