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.
Today it's quite common to spend a holiday or a weekend in a farmhouse in Grosseto. But few people know that this is possible thanks to the great drainage ordered by Leopoldo II, Duke of Tuscany, in the XVIII century. Maremma was at the time particularly humid, marshes occupied a large part of the region and this situation favoured the diffusion of malaria infections (malaria is actually an Italian word meaning "bad air"). Drainage transformed Grosseto and its region into the romantic and magnificent country that everybody can admire today, preserving in any case the wild and mysterious fascination of Maremma.
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.
Chosing a holiday farmhouse near Grosseto, especially near the seaside resort of Marina di Grosseto, is a perfect opportunity of enjoying all the beauties and the touristic resources of this famous seaside location: the long sand beaches with their characteristic little dunes and the typical Maremma pine woods. A farm holiday near Marina di Grosseto doesn't mean a sea-only vacation for the tourist. The town borders a notable natural park (Parco Naturale dell'Uccellina) and many touristic attractions are just a few kilometres away: the medieval towns of Sovana, Sorano, Pitigliano, built on tuff rock, the famous thermal center of Saturnia and Montalcino, home of the worldwide famed "Brunello di Montalcino" wine.
