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.
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.
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.
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.
