Royesh Estate · agritourism in Sari
Stay on the farm that grows the rice.
Royesh Estate sits on the same land as our supply business. Guests sleep in restored Mazandarani houses, eat what the fields produce that week, and join the harvest if they want to.
The idea
An agriturismo, on Mazandarani terms.
In Italy, an agriturismo must be a working farm before it is a place to stay. We follow the same rule. The farm’s work sets the calendar, the table and what you can do each week.
01
The farm comes first
Harvest dates decide the calendar. Guests are welcome in the field, alongside the people who work it.
02
The table follows the field
Each dish shows where it came from and how far it travelled. Almost nothing travels more than 30 km.
03
Time is kept by season
The year starts at Nowruz. Each month has its own harvest, its own work and its own reason to visit.
The year
What happens on the farm, month by month.
The estate follows the Persian calendar, which begins with spring. Choose a month to see what is happening and what you can join.
Stays
Restored houses, built for rain and harvest.
The traditional Mazandarani house stands on timber posts, with a deep veranda and a clay-tile roof against the rain. We have restored eight of them on the estate.
The Orchard House
Sleeps 4A two-storey house among the orange trees. In Farvardin the whole house smells of blossom.
The Forest Cabin
Sleeps 2At the edge of the Hyrcanian forest, an hour’s walk from the fields. Off-grid, with a fire pit.
The whole estate
Up to 24All the houses and the courtyard, for weddings, family Nowruz, retreats and Buyer Days.
Sofreh · the farm table
Every dish shows where it came from.
A sofreh is the cloth a Persian meal is laid on. Ours is laid under the orange trees. The menu lists the distance each ingredient travelled and the production lot it came from. These are the same lots that go to hospitals and schools.
