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 holiday in Tuscany, near Grosseto, is the best way to discover all the traditions of Maremma. Among the local events, takes a special place the ancient ceremony of "la Merca", the livestock branding. La Merca is performed as a sort of rural festivity during spring (traditionally on the 1st of May) in Alberese, a site inside the natural park Parco dell'Uccellina. If you want to book a holiday in a farmhouse in Grosseto for enjoying the country life of the region, we suggest to choose the middle August period: on the 15th of August (Ferragosto festivity) the local cattle shepherd, the Butteri, play rodeos even better than American cow boys!
A farmhouse holiday in Grosseto means enjoying fully the culinary tradition of Tuscany Maremma. The range of typical food produce and dishes is huge, but we can suggest a special treat, once reserved to the noble class of the region, despite its name: the fisherman fettuccine ("fettuccine del pescatore"). The main ingredients are scampi, oysters, arugula, salt, pepper, garlic and extra-virgin olive oil: a festival for seafood lovers! If you prefer more "earthy" flavours, you can ask your farmhouse's landlord in Grosseto: fragrant wild mushrooms are widely common in the Maremma country and they are the basic ingredient for a homemade mushroom soup, best accompanied by garlic bread and parmigiano reggiano.
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.
