Creating your own Agriturismo - Conclusions

Having carefully explained all the details of buying an agritourism, we would like to leave you with a few considerations..

As it is easy to guess, the costs involved in opening an agritourism business can be quite high. The highest concerns the purchase of the building..

It could also be an old rural building, which is easy enough to find at a favorable cost, but the renovation and adaptation costs, which are often very high, must be taken into account. Another expense is the purchase or rental of land to be used for agricultural and rural activities. It is not possible to indicate how much land needs to be cultivated to open an agritourism; approximately one hectare cultivated with small fruits could be sufficient to have a small family farm. A good solution is to move towards the purchase of a farm already complete with all the necessary elements, or to take over an old farmhouse that is not too run-down according to local regulations; for this it is always a good idea to enquire in advance.

If the local context is suitable, an interesting idea is to turn towards tourist and excursion activities, perhaps offering a guided tour service and tours of sites of historical and cultural interest.

Alternatively, you could set up a structure for a specific target group, after verifying that there are no similar ones in the area, create a receptive environment suitable for families with children and pets, organize a series of sporting activities, from trekking to horseback riding, mountain biking, even paragliding and rock climbing, if the area allows it, devote yourself to wellness and offer courses in meditation, aromatherapy and vegan cooking, welcome schools and organize summer camps…

The choice is wide and depends on one's skills, the size of the facility and the landscape.
