A farm holiday in Grosseto provides a vast display of attractions and interests for tourists: wide open spaces, ideal for horse riding, romantic trekking pathways immersed in the green nature, bike itineraries through the pleasant Tuscan hills. But if you prefer the seaside, you have so many different opportunities at your disposal: a windy and tempered climate helps sailing and windsurfing all year long, while clean waters allow fishing. Tennis is one of the favourite sport practiced by famhouses' guests and lots of farmhouses near Grosseto are equipped with private tennis fields. Regarding historical and artistic attractions, Tuscany has no rivals: Grosseto is especially known for its Etruscan roots and the Maremma region presents different archeological sites (Roselle, Vetulonia...) appealing tourists from all over the world.
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!
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.
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.
