It's that time again! This year, we have once again honored outstanding farms from all over Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland that make a farm holiday something very special with their passion, creativity and hospitality.
With the bauernhofurlaub.info Award we not only want to honor the work of the dedicated hosts, but also inspire vacationers to discover the most beautiful holiday farms for their stay.
The award for the 30 best holiday farms is based on the criteria of popularity, quality and positive guest experience.
Why this award is important
A holiday on a farm has become one of the most popular types of holiday in recent years. Guests are looking for authenticity, experiences in nature and warm hosts - and that is exactly what our award-winning farms offer. The award creates a stage for those who outdo themselves with their work every day.
