Info and Description

The air cools, the woods turn red and gold: autumn has arrived, and with it, the warmest and most fragrant season in Italy. For travellers seeking an authentic and cozy experience, the Agriturismo is the perfect base to celebrate the chestnut season. Choosing an agriturismo stay in autumn means immersing yourself in enchanting landscapes and participating in secular traditions, tasting the flavours of the freshly harvested land.

Chestnuts are not just a fruit; they are a symbol of Italian folklore and a gastronomic treasure celebrated in every region. An Agriturismo in Italy offers you the unique opportunity to actively participate in the chestnut picking ritual or simply enjoy the fruits of the forest at the table. From the classic caldarroste (roasted chestnuts) in Tuscany and Piedmont, often paired with a glass of new wine (vino novello), to more complex recipes that vary by region. In Trentino-Alto Adige and Umbria, chestnuts enrich soups and rustic desserts like castagnaccio. In Puglia and Sicily, where the climate is milder, chestnuts are creatively used in jams, fillings, or traditional savoury recipes, adding an earthy and sweet note to the regional typical autumn products Italy. For those seeking maximum relax in agriturismo, many of our properties offer dedicated activities: tasting of autumn products, routes for trekking in the woods, and evenings in front of the fireplace with freshly roasted chestnuts.
