The Tuscan Maremma appears in the 2009 list of the 44 places in the world that are really worth a visit by the famous daily New York Times.

So, why do not you take into consideration the possibility of renting a farmhouse in the Maremma for your next vacations in Tuscany ?

Due to past reclamation work, this region of southern Tuscany is surprisingly rich in farmhouses .

That is, buildings in the traditional Tuscan rustic style from which you can leave for pleasant one-day trips.

Some examples?

From your farmhouse in the Maremma you can visit on foot or by mountain bike the Parco Naturale della Maremma (Maremma National Park) at the discovery of colonies of water birds and of the symbol of the region: the wild boar.

If you like sports, during your holiday in the Tuscan Maremma you can dedicate to windsurf, sail to the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago right in front of the coast and do horseback excursions with Maremma horses .

Last but not least, you can visit the Etruscan necropolis of Vetulonia or the archaeological site of Roselle.

Tuscany is renowned all over the world for its great cuisine. So, you cannot go back to your farmhouse in the Maremma without having tasted "scottiglia" (a wild boar stew) or one of the thousand wild boar dishes, obviously washed down with a glass of Morellino di Scansano.

Have a nice holiday in the farmhouses in the Maremma !
