A farmhouse holiday in Grosseto becomes for most people a lifelasting good memory. Maremma sightings are unique and covey a sort of magnetic and wild appeal. That's even more evident in the area of Cape Argentario, along the southern coast of Tuscany. In ancient times Cape Argentario was a little island in front of the Tuscan coast, but the debris transported by the rivers to the sea connected the island to the continent and created the famous laguna of Orbetello, a well renowned naturalistic oasis. Other main towns along the coast are Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole.
A farmhouse near Grosseto is an ideal choice for a relaxing holiday, surrounded by wild and appealing nature, just a few minutes away from the seaside. Grosseto is a merry and fascinating town, lying peacefully in the Tuscan countryside, at the heart of the famous Maremma region. Any holiday farmhouse in Grosseto enjoy a wonderful landscape from its windows: either the farmhouse is located in the coastal Maremma, near the sea, or in the inner, central Maremma, where the landscape is graced by mountains and valleys (like the famous Mount Amiata). In September a renowned Sagra dell'Uva is held in Grosseto, an interesting folklore event aiming to promote the most famous and appreciated wine of the region: the Morellino di Scansano.
Chosing a holiday farmhouse near Grosseto, especially near the seaside resort of Marina di Grosseto, is a perfect opportunity of enjoying all the beauties and the touristic resources of this famous seaside location: the long sand beaches with their characteristic little dunes and the typical Maremma pine woods. A farm holiday near Marina di Grosseto doesn't mean a sea-only vacation for the tourist. The town borders a notable natural park (Parco Naturale dell'Uccellina) and many touristic attractions are just a few kilometres away: the medieval towns of Sovana, Sorano, Pitigliano, built on tuff rock, the famous thermal center of Saturnia and Montalcino, home of the worldwide famed "Brunello di Montalcino" wine.
A farmhouse near Grosseto is a perfect accomodation, for a nice weekend of wine tasting and discovering. Lots of factors contribute to the final results in the complex process which is "wine making": sun and wind exposure, soils, the proximity of mountains or sea coasts. Maremma offers a great variety of these factors and from this variety stems the vast range of Maremma wines: Vermentino, Ansonica, Morellino, Malvasia, Ciliegiolo, Meatico and many other traditional and modern wines. But the most important factor is indeed "tradition": the culture of winemaking traces back to the origins of civilization in this area and it's established as a shared common knowledge among all the farmers in the Grosseto area.
