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.
A farm holiday in Grosseto provides a vast display of attractions and interests for tourists: wide open spaces, ideal for horse riding, romantic trekking pathways immersed in the green nature, bike itineraries through the pleasant Tuscan hills. But if you prefer the seaside, you have so many different opportunities at your disposal: a windy and tempered climate helps sailing and windsurfing all year long, while clean waters allow fishing. Tennis is one of the favourite sport practiced by famhouses' guests and lots of farmhouses near Grosseto are equipped with private tennis fields. Regarding historical and artistic attractions, Tuscany has no rivals: Grosseto is especially known for its Etruscan roots and the Maremma region presents different archeological sites (Roselle, Vetulonia...) appealing tourists from all over the world.
A farmhouse near Grosseto is a perfect accomodation, for a nice weekend of wine tasting and discovering. Lots of factors contribute to the final results in the complex process which is "wine making": sun and wind exposure, soils, the proximity of mountains or sea coasts. Maremma offers a great variety of these factors and from this variety stems the vast range of Maremma wines: Vermentino, Ansonica, Morellino, Malvasia, Ciliegiolo, Meatico and many other traditional and modern wines. But the most important factor is indeed "tradition": the culture of winemaking traces back to the origins of civilization in this area and it's established as a shared common knowledge among all the farmers in the Grosseto area.
When visiting Tuscany, no accomodation is better than a holiday farmhouse. Grosseto, the capital of Maremma, and its region is well-known for the great numbers of farmhouses. Grosseto itself is an interesting town, rich with artistic and historical monuments, as most of the Tuscany towns are. Churches and palaces in Grosseto have lived and transformed themselves throughout the centuries: they host different masterworks of important Tuscan painters and sculptors, ranging from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The typical brick walls surround the historic part of the town and provides it with a romantic and dreaming-like atmosphere.
