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.
If you choose a holiday farmhouse for your vacation near Grosseto, you can't skipped a visit to the wonderful medieval town of Pitigliano. Pitigliano is a little gem, built on a tuff rock steep, displaying a magical landscape which is one of the most photographed in Europe. The town shows historical records tracking back to all the different historical eras since pre-history: the Etruscan civilization, the Roman civilization, the Aldobrandeschi period (Aldobrandeschi family reigned over Maremma for nearly five centuries), the magnificent Renaissance period ruled by the Orsini family and the final Medici and Lorena dominations. One the principal monuments in Grosseto is the Orsini palace, which hosts an Etruscan Museum with interesting findings from the archeological site of Statonia.

Other main towns along the coast are Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole.
