Theme: Open

"Take a picture and travel" is a new and effective way for increasing the knowledge of the world of country houses and arousing curiosity on a different way of having holidays. Generally country houses are associated to hearty meals and farm visits. Very few people think of rooms with high comfort standards, swimming pool, local products, wellness centre and numerous activities such as excursions, horse riding, archery, mountain biking…the perfect holidays both for families and groups of young friends.

Prizes:

  • A stay of 2 nights for 2 people, breakfast included and a bottle of olive oil at the Country House Li Zuti Resort, Tuscany.
  • The pubblication of a virtual catalogue on Facebook page and the Blog of Agriturismi.it.

Once the photo is registered, share it on Facebook and invite your friends to vote for it. The picture that will receive the highest number of “Like” and the final vote of the jury will be the winner.

Image requirements: JPG format, minimum size: 500px by 500px, max file size: 4 Mb
