I was surprised not to find this expression in the Glossaries/Term search. The best I can come up with is "agrotourism establishment(s)", but there must be a snappier way to get the idea across, whilst showing there is a difference between “agroturismos” and “hoteles rurales”.
By the way, the 'oferta' in question consists of mountain refuges for hikers in Mallorca.

Charles Davis
: "Farmhouse hotels" is the right term, I think, but I would reduce it to that and cut "countryhouse and high-end".

Thanks. The high-end is predicated on the info. supplied by the asker and not 1960s package tours to Majorca.

: I'd maybe prefer countryhouse hotels (without the rest), as it sounds more luxurious than farmhouse//Ah ok!, Then both… farmhouse and country hotels, skip repeating house, and high-end. Anything to avoid agro which in Eng doesn't (IMO) sound too good...

Thanks for your vote of confidence. But I was trying to translate the whole phrase/rurales > countryhouses which I, must admit, I can't *fathom syntactically: hoteles rurales y agroturismos vs. *agroturisticos//yes, we don't want any aggro 'bovver' boys.

Seeing as Claudia and I have posted the same answer, here's another term :)
Agri-entertainment
Agri-entertainment has been referred to at "Agritainment" and people who entertain at these agriculture based functions have been referred to as "agritainers" since 2008 with the founding of the Texas Crossroads Cowboy Gathering.[1]
Agritainment includes not only farm and ranch tours, but also events such as cowboy music and poetry gatherings. The genres of cowboy music, cowboy poetry, and cowboy storytelling have their roots and material based upon the agrarian lifestyle of ranching. [2]
Agri-entertainment and agritourism refer to consumer‑focused forms of agriculture, in which farms supplement (or replace) their traditional income from the sale of crops to wholesale markets by offering a variety of "entertainment farming" options.
These agri-entertainment options include: pick-your-own operations, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, farm stores, agricultural festivals, and educational activities.
There are three aspects to agri-tourism. The farms have:
something for visitors to see.
something for them to do.
something for them to buy.
Usually, the farms are themed, such as Halloween-related activities (pumpkin patches and corn mazes) or historic recreations (a working farm or mill from the 19th century). Things to see and do are often offered free, but farms still derive a substantial profit by selling refreshments and souvenirs to visitors.

agrotourism/ agro-tourism
An option. To me, 'agro' sounds better... cuestión de oído y de gusto, nomás. So, I'm throwing this one into the mix. It's quite common, e.g. agrogeology, agroscience, agrochemical, agroecology, agrofuel, agrominerals. I know there are certainly many counter examples, too, 'agribusiness' likely the best-known.

agritourism
IMHO, the term refers to an activity rather than a place.
As defined by Wikipedia:
Agritourism, as it is defined most broadly, involves any agriculturally based operation or activity that brings visitors to a farm or ranch.

Well, well.
So the bottom line seems to be that one thing is "agroturismo", and another "agroturismos" in the context supplied. I guess this is also a localization matter: In Argentina, agroturismo is the rural establishment + rural activities, yet in Europe (don't know in US) it means something different. So I agree with my "disagreers" (so to say). I came by this context:
Ten years ago Ibiza only had a couple of agroturismos but today there are more than 20, and it has become something of a buzzword on the island. At first the word, which originated in Italy, referred to working farms that let a few rooms, often in rustic outbuildings, to supplement their incomes. Now, thanks to the popularity of the idea, the definition is far more flexible - they are usually more stylish than rustic, and in many the farming now plays second fiddle. However, all guarantee traditional buildings set in fields or woodland, with fresh local food and peace and quiet by the bucketload.

rural tourism
A little late in the day, but is this not what is being referred to?
Wikipedia defines it as follows:
Rural tourism focuses on actively participating in a rural lifestyle. It can be a variant of ecotourism. Many rural villages can facilitate tourism because many villagers are hospitable and eager to welcome (and sometime even host) visitors. Agriculture is becoming highly mechanized and therefore, requires less manual labor. This trend is causing economic pressure on some villages, which in turn causes young people to move to urban areas. There is however, a segment of the urban population that is interested in visiting the rural areas and understanding their lifestyle. This segment in the tourism industry has been rapidly growing in the past decade, leading to rural tourism becoming not just a good business prospect, but a genuine vacation trend.

this last one offers a bit of everything
http://www.agroturismoenmallorca.com/agro.php
On the other hand, in Majorca they don't seem to be places where you get your hands dirty on the farm; they're simply holiday accommodation on a farm or former farm. That's the thing: they all seem to be farmhouses, which is not true of "casas rurales", which are country houses as opposed to farmhouses.
If you search for "farmhouse hotel" in English, you tend to find the same sort of thing, so I think this term, without qualification, is the right one here.
Here's one to consider which involves the 'working holiday' side of things (such as grape-picking) - the bothy is very low-end - no running water or electricity, but definitely "agroturismo" because we spent the week planting trees. (http://www.treesforlife.org.uk/)
http://www.songener.com/es/agroturismo-mallorca/

These Observer and Guardian reports on Mallorca actually call them "agroturismos":
http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/may/11/balearicisland...
http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/jul/06/mallorca-tramu...
In other words, although "agroturismo" as a phenomenon can be called "agritourism", an "agroturismo" in Mallorca is a type of accommodation, and as far as I know this is never called an agritourism in English.
