The Origin
Let’s be honest – rural hospitality deserves better than overpriced listings and platforms that have lost their soul. That’s why Agristelle was born.
Founded by Samuel Allenbach – an entrepreneur with roots in both Tuscany and Switzerland – Agristelle started as a conversation between friends and farmers in Pomarance. What began as an idea around a kitchen table turned into a platform built on respect, fairness, and authenticity.
Our vision? A curated home for Italy’s most genuine agriturismos. No hidden fees, no mass tourism nonsense – just direct connections, clear pricing, and a shared love for the land.
"We’re not trying to be the biggest. We’re here to be the most trusted."
Welcome to Agristelle – where every agriturismo shines on its own terms.
