For the ones who prefer a sea holiday, a farmhouse near Grosseto is a good starting point. Grosseto is only a few kilometres from the sea and from the many sea centres along the Thyrhennian coast. For instance, Castiglione della Pescaia, once a little fishers village of Etruscan origin, is now a well renowned seaside resort along the coast of Maremma, where sand beaches blends into a thick pine wood. The heart of this picturesque center is a romantic medieval area, surrounded by walls and towers and domnated by the Aragonese Castle (XIVth century). Lots of restaurants and holiday farmhouses offer fish and traditional food of the Maremma region, accompanied by the best Tuscany wines.
When you take a reservation in a Grosseto farmhouse, you're gaining the opportunity to experience fully all the attractions and wonders of Tuscany, from the green hills of the inner countryside to the splendid sea coast. If you prefer the latter, you should visit Punta Ala, on the southern Follonica Gulf, lying beautifully on a green stripe of coast, just in front of a grand pinewood. Not far from Grosseto, Punta Ala is a main touristic location, providing the visitors with night clubs, restaurants, a nice and elegant port, competing with the most famous ports in Italy and the most famous golf camp in Italy.
Today it's quite common to spend a holiday or a weekend in a farmhouse in Grosseto. But few people know that this is possible thanks to the great drainage ordered by Leopoldo II, Duke of Tuscany, in the XVIII century. Maremma was at the time particularly humid, marshes occupied a large part of the region and this situation favoured the diffusion of malaria infections (malaria is actually an Italian word meaning "bad air"). Drainage transformed Grosseto and its region into the romantic and magnificent country that everybody can admire today, preserving in any case the wild and mysterious fascination of Maremma.
High gastronomy and good wines are synonim of hospitality in any farmhouse in Grosseto. We can especially point out the Val d'Orcia area as a territory where culinary arts have stayed especially loyal to the tradition: the local food tradition is indeed a wholesome and tasty one. In this well reknowned area in the province of Grosseto the main food courses are rustic dishes, made with simple, but high quality produce coming from the local countryside. Probably the most famous one is the classical fiorentina steak, a large steak, brushed with olive oil and aromatic herbs, and cooked on the grill over chestnut wood.
