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.
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!
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.
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.
