Spending your holiday in a Grosseto farmhouse offers a lucky chance to visit the wild and picturesque Maremma. Grosseto is actually the ancient capital of Maremma, the southern area of Tuscany, bordering on Latium. The region was considered "unhealthy" in the previous centuries because of its humid areas. During the XVIIIth century, thanks to Duke Leopoldo II Lorena, the marshes disappeared because Maremma was widely drained , but it still bears a wild and magnetic appeal, all of its own. That's why Maremma is now a favourite destination for tourists from all the world, heading to one of the many farmhouses located in the Grosseto area.
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.
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 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.
