Envigorating family holidays at the heart of nature. An experience to be enjoyed in contact with local people who know their area inside out and who produce cheeses and cured meats for the tables of Valchiavenna, with a passion. Precisely why farm holidays are an increasingly popular choice for families. Spending days outdoors, getting to know the animals and their habits and routines and learning about how cheeses and cured meats are produced give extra value to a holiday together with your loved ones. In Valchiavenna there are plenty such opportunities, authentic environments, where the pace of life is slower and where you can spend days at peace with nature. Eco-friendly and hands-on. And the families who run the farms bear witness to these same values. Whether providing rooms or a restaurant agritourism represents the most authentic expression of family businesses organised to share their workplaces with guests, demonstrating all their know-how and of course their products.
Such is the case with the Agriturismo Aqua Fracta at Piuro, overseen with love and passion by the Pighetti family. Perfectly put together where each "component" contributes in their own special fashion. Giacomo takes care of the farm animals and the production of cheese and ricotta. It is he who guides visits to the barns and the dairy whilst answering all the little ones&´ questions. Mariarosa coordinates all the work in the kitchen, ensuring the collection of natural ingredients such as wild herbs that she adopts for her exquisite dishes. Specialities include cakes and home-made pasta. Virginia takes charge of the dining room and reception, strong on detail and attentive to the guests&´ every need. Aqua Fracta is just one of many examples of holiday farms in the valley. Opportunities in which conservation of the environment, climate, social skills, culture, hospitality and a new approach to having fun all combine for an experience to be long-remembered. Spending time together differently, in a natural and genuine setting, finally touching base with the earth itself.
