Travelling in time. Spending some days in the unspoilt nature surrounding a holiday farm in Maremma takes you back in time.

You can taste the culinary specialities of the rural tradition washing them down with a good glass of wine (obviously DOC). Together with the butteri (Maremma`s cowboys) you can gallop at the discovery of surprisingly beautiful natural secluded spots. And you can also learn some ancient local traditions...

• At the table of a Tuscan holiday farm in Maremma you cannot avoid eating the typical local dishes. It was a housewife who invented the famous "acquacotta" (a dish made of onion, garlic, tomato, eggs, stale bread, pecorino cheese, species and... extra-virgin olive oil). Traditional but delicious recipes made of simple ingredients perfectly match unforgettable DOC wines, such as Bianco di Pitigliano, Parrina, Sovana, Ansonica Costa dell`Argentario, Capalbio, etc...

• Why do not you book a holiday in a Tuscan holiday farm with riding stable? Riding some hours or even the whole the day long on the back of a horse, perhaps together with the brave "butteri", along the spectacular coast and in the hinterland dotted with towers, castles, fortresses, monasteries, cathedrals, etc... is a way of experiencing the charm of wild Maremma.

• The land of the "butteri"! You can meet the tenebrous Tuscan cowboys in "moleskin trousers", "velvet jacket" and "black western hat" at the various feasts taking place around the region or even in your holiday farm, where they appear in the ancient "gioco della rosa" (game of the rose, in which two teams of ten "butteri" strive to tear off a rose from the arm of the other contenders), carousels, training and ability demonstrations, etc...
