A farmhouse near Grosseto is a perfect way to get in touch with the real Tuscany lifestyle. 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 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!
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.
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.
