How do i arrange a working holiday for 10 teenagers in tuscany?

Question

We have been advised to try "agritourism" as a way of seeing Italy cheaply - holidays where you stay on a farm and help with the harvest, so your board is a little cheaper. Unfortunately when I search on the internet I can only find family holidays and "peaceful getaways" - not at all what we're looking for really! We want a holiday that's cheap and cheerful and where we can all muck in and lend a hand. Any ideas how to go about booking a holiday like this? Possibly you have to contact the farms direct - if so would appreciate contact details.

HAS ANYONE EVER TAKEN A HOLIDAY LIKE THIS? PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE!

thanks a bunch

Answer 2

obviously ur british as u r using "holy-day" ad a getaway. try "vacation" as a search. i would recomend a ranch western tuscany and always moving around as to not get "bored" and not overstay ur welcome, u know teens. im planing something very similar. my experiences have told me that hotels r very hard with a bunch of youths. i would focus on the airfare, since the numbers and chaparoning is very hard. remember: to get through customs every under 18 minor MUST have an adult present to pass.

I've no direct experience.I'm living in Tuscany but I couldn't find any farm with direct link; however I guess that unless the guys are Europeans all must be officially authorized
