In many cases, it is possible to bring a pet, but this varies by accommodation. Some accommodations have special pet-friendly rooms, while others unfortunately do not allow pets. We recommend mentioning this in advance when making your reservation so that we can check if your pet is welcome and if any extra costs or rules apply.

Wine estates in Italy
When you think of Italy, you might immediately think of fantastic Italian wines. The country has a large number of wineries where you can see with your own eyes how wine is grown and, of course, taste this delicious drink. Open days are regularly held and wine festivals are organized everywhere. Would you like to go on a wine trip to Italy and learn all about the various wineries? We would love to tell you more about it!
The history of Italian wine estates
That Italian wines are amazing is beyond dispute. The wine tradition in Italy dates back more than thousands of years – evidence has been found that the Etruscans were already engaged in viticulture hundreds of years before Christ. Today, Italy is the country that produces more wine than any other country in the world. It is therefore not surprising that you can visit thousands of Italian wineries. Do you want to see and taste how Italian wine is made? Then stay at an authentic Italian agriturismo and wine farm and enjoy everything the country has to offer.
The most beautiful wine estates in Italy
A region you definitely must visit if you love good wine: Piedmont. Here you can enjoy Barolo, a magnificent wine that ranks high on the list of many wine lovers. But you can also go to Veneto for an excellent Amarone, or would you rather toast with a glass of Soave? In the boot of Italy, in Puglia, you will also find a great wine region. More of an island person? Then enjoy fantastic wines in Sicily.
If you are going on holiday to Tuscany, you naturally won't want to miss the famous Chianti region. Tuscan wine and Chianti are often mentioned in the same breath: this red wine is world-famous. But there are even more wine gems to be found in Tuscany: for example, the Maremma region, situated by the sea, or the high-altitude Montepulciano. Extra tip: if you travel to Tuscany in September, you can experience the 'Cantine Aperte'. During this event, Tuscan wineries open their cellars, which is accompanied by various festivities. You don't want to miss that!

Featured: Tuscan wine and gastronomy
Tuscan cuisine is primarily known for its simplicity (cucina povera). Dishes are simple, yet fresh and without too much fuss. Consequently, Tuscany has quite a few locally sourced ingredients: fresh fish from the nearby sea, fruit, herbs, and vegetables grown under the Tuscan sun, cheese, olive oil, and meats such as prosciutto (ham) or cinghiale (wild boar). In the autumn, chestnuts, truffles, and wild mushrooms are added to the mix. Besides the somewhat simpler dishes like pappa al pomodoro and ribollita, there are also the more luxurious ones, such as tagliatelle with wild boar and Bistecca alla Fiorentina. The Tuscan cuisine offers something for everyone.

That depends on the park — some are really all year round= open, while others are closed for periods during, for example, the winter or operate with limited facilities.
Example: there are campsites/holiday parks in the Netherlands that are open 365 days a year.
If you tell me which park you mean, I can check for you if that specifically is open all year round.
