Descanso Ranches from €245

If you're the sort of adventurer who loves to breathe the fresh outdoor air and really escape from the bustle of urban life when your holidays swing around, Descanso Ranches could be just what you're after. Typically immersed in nature and set far from the crowded city streets, these sorts of stays are a real playground for folk who like to break away from the crowd. Instead of camera-toting groups of sightseers, you'll be sharing your space with herds of horses and cows. Instead of glimmering skyscrapers, you'll wake to visions of rolling fields, undulating hills and verdant woods, and nature at its most relaxing.

That's the reason Descanso Ranches are such a hit with families looking for something a little different to the usual resort. These working farms with on-site rooms promise something really hands-on and engaging. You can opt to help out with day-to-day tasks like rounding up the horses or tying lassos, preparing evening barbecues or mucking in with farm duties. It's all part of the big escape that's on offer with ranch stays.
