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.
For the ones who prefer a sea holiday, a farmhouse near Grosseto is a good starting point. Grosseto is only a few kilometres from the sea and from the many sea centres along the Thyrhennian coast. For instance, Castiglione della Pescaia, once a little fishers village of Etruscan origin, is now a well renowned seaside resort along the coast of Maremma, where sand beaches blends into a thick pine wood. The heart of this picturesque center is a romantic medieval area, surrounded by walls and towers and domnated by the Aragonese Castle (XIVth century). Lots of restaurants and holiday farmhouses offer fish and traditional food of the Maremma region, accompanied by the best Tuscany wines.

A farmhouse holiday near Grosseto is a nice opportunity to discover and live some old rural traditions, connected to ancient rites of fertility. One of them is celebrated every year, during the month of May and it's called "La Maggiolata". It's a sort of festival of flowers celebrating the beginning of summer, where the country people of Lucignano create parade carts adorned with thousands of flowers and drive them in a long parade through the streets of the little medieval center. During the two-week festivity, Lucignano is animated by several musica bands performing at every corner and in every street. Any farmhouse near Grosseto can offer information about local festivities and renactments. Just ask your landlord!
