The region of Grosseto, Maremma, offers both natural and artistic masterpieces, blending in beautiful harmony. It looks like nature and human works merge together in a magnificent and fascinating result. The thermal center of Saturnia, the houses built in the tuff rock in Pitigliano: everything seems to represent a prefect integration between man and nature, as stated in the Renaissance idealism. From your farmhouse in Grosseto, you'll have the opportunity to reach the coast and all the main towns in Maremma within a few kilometres, while enjoying the beautiful picturesque countryside.
A farmhouse holiday near Grosseto is a nice opportunity to discover and live some old rural traditions, connected to ancient rites of fertility. One of them is celebrated every year, during the month of May and it's called "La Maggiolata". It's a sort of festival of flowers celebrating the beginning of summer, where the country people of Lucignano create parade carts adorned with thousands of flowers and drive them in a long parade through the streets of the little medieval center. During the two-week festivity, Lucignano is animated by several musica bands performing at every corner and in every street. Any farmhouse near Grosseto can offer information about local festivities and renactments. Just ask your landlord!
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.
If you choose to spend your farmhouse holiday near Grosseto, you'll get acquainted with the flavoured and rustic food of Maremma. The main courses are based on meat (coming from the local cattle breeding), wild birds and the famous Maremma wild boar. These earthy courses are best accompanied by the local Morellino di Scansano, one the most famous red wines in Tuscany, a perfect match for a complete Maremma-style meal (pappardelle, crostini, bread soup...). And for a light and refreshing aperitif, we suggest the Bianco di Pitigliano, a brilliant white wine which can compete with Prosecco.
