Italian Farm is the first resort farm in Beijing that fully embodies Italian culture. In 1999, the Italian farm was built in Shilipu Village, Nanfaxin Town, Shunyi District, covering an area of 260 acres. Later, due to the land acquisition for the expansion of the Capital Airport, the farm was relocated to Baigezhuang Village, Mapo Town in 2005, and the area after reconstruction was reduced to 210 acres. Although the area is not too large, the perfect supporting facilities and good service quality have successfully attracted a large number of tourists. The best feature of the Italian farm is its own Italian restaurant. The 2,000-square-metre, 9-metre-high Tuscan architecture was designed by renowned Italian designer Riccardo Dal Mas. A large number of wood, stone and brick elements are decorated to highlight the authentic style of the restaurant. The care of the Italian farm is also reflected in other details, the restaurant is heated by a ground source heat pump system, which is less polluting and has a good user experience. In addition, the restaurant also adopts a set of fresh air system to ensure that there is clean air circulation in the room, and users can enjoy the "haze-free Beijing life" when dining. The restaurant's cuisine is also a weapon of Italian farms, which are a breath of fresh air compared to other farms on the list. The restaurant's menu is made with imported ingredients or vegetables grown at the farm. THE RESTAURANT'S EXECUTIVE CHEF IS MARCO MAZZEI, A SWISS CHEF WITH MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING AROUND THE WORLD, AND FORMER US PRESIDENTS CLINTON AND BUSH AND FORMER BRITISH PRIME MINISTER BLAIR HAVE PRAISED HIS DISHES. Pizza, sausage, spaghetti, and tiramisu are almost a must-order for tourists, and they taste quite good. The dishes in the restaurant are also quite exquisitely presented, and they are beautiful and delicious. In contrast, the service details of the restaurant service staff need to be improved, both in terms of dress and the way the restaurant is cleaned. It is worth mentioning that if visitors don't like Italian food, there is also a Chinese restaurant in the courtyard, but don't expect too much from the dishes. Italian-style accommodation is also an advantage of the agriturismo. The Italian Farm offers an Italian idyllic fireplace room that is rare in Beijing. All rooms are duplex and decorated with warm lighting, creating a sense of Italian vernacular. The guest room fireplace is simply a powerful tool for posting on social media. On a cold winter day, a small fire burns in the fireplace, the living room is filled with melodious music, and it is a pleasant life to sit around the fireplace with family and friends and enjoy a meal together. It is worth mentioning that it is very rare for tourists to bring their pets on Italian farms. Italian Farm has an agricultural park covering an area of 150 acres and is one of the largest European fruit tree planting bases in Beijing. The farm has imported more than 60 varieties of fruit trees from Italy, and today has more than 110 varieties of Italian fruit trees. In autumn, visitors can experience the joy of fruit picking. The farm supports tasting, but only for the fruit that is picked and taken away. There is also a children's play area with a playground, mini zoo and outdoor swimming pool, which is popular with children. The mini zoo has more than a dozen small animals that support visitors to feed. Visitors can bring their own vegetables or spend 10 yuan to buy Chinese cabbage in the park to feed.
