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 vacation in a holiday farmhouse in Grosseto provides you an incredible variety of geographical context, from the wild country for hiking, trekking ad horse riding, to the splendid beaches on the coast for relaxing and sunbathing. Grosseto is located in the center of the Tuscany Maremma, about ten kilometres from the Thyrhennian coast. Holiday farmhouses in Grosseto are very common and widely scattered in the whole region, which is definitely an important destination for tourism: lots of touristic attractions are located in the province of Grosseto: Cape Argentario, Follonica, Castiglione della Pescaia, Mout Amiata, the islands of Giglio and Giannutri.
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 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.
