Argentario Golf Club
Combines contemporary design
Argentario Golf Club combines contemporary design, Mediterranean scenery and a highly current idea of active leisure. Set in coastal Maremma, the course moves through olive groves, water features, soft dunes and repeated glimpses that remind you how close the sea really is. The layout is technical yet welcoming, engaging regular golfers without intimidating resort guests. The true strength of the address is balance: it is not simply a good course, nor merely a polished hotel, but a coherent destination where golf, wellness, cuisine and rest are integrated naturally. The mood is international and clean-lined, with a luxury language that feels more contemporary than ceremonial. For travelers drawn to a brighter, more maritime and modern vision of Tuscany, Argentario is a compelling choice. It works especially well for couples, long weekends and golfers who want quality without the formality or inherited ritual of the region's older clubs.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Feniglia — Camminata tra Pineta e Dune
The Feniglia reserve holds the Argentario's quietest side: a long strip of sand, low pine woods and marine light filtered through the trees. After golf, it is a walk that changes the register and clears the eye without ever really leaving the coast.
“Enter from the Ansedonia side just before sunset and wear light shoes: the final stretch across the sand, as the sun drops behind the promontory, is worth more than any beach club.”
Cantina dell'Ansonica — Degustazione Costiera
Between Orbetello and the promontory, small productions of Ansonica and Vermentino speak of a marine, saline Maremma far less obvious than postcard Tuscany. It pairs beautifully with Argentario because it follows the same line: modern elegance anchored in the landscape.
“Ask for the youngest whites rather than the reserves: here youth expresses the salt, the wind and the touch of Mediterranean scrub that makes the area so distinctive.”
Porto Ercole — Passeggiata al Forte
Porto Ercole retains a compact elegance of honey-coloured houses, a slow harbour and Spanish fortifications overlooking the sea. It is a short outing full of atmosphere, perfect when you want to add a historical note to a very contemporary day.
“On the way up to the fortress, pause halfway and look back over the harbour: it is the angle local photographers use when they want to avoid the town's more social, polished side.”
Trattoria Aurora — Cucina di Laguna
In the historic center of Orbetello, Aurora serves the cuisine the lagoon has shaped over centuries: marinated eel, grey mullet bottarga, red mullet in broth. No frills, no compromises — just exceptional local ingredients treated with old-fashioned respect. A trattoria that still knows what it means to cook for a place.
“Order the local mullet bottarga — what the lagoon fishermen produce here has nothing in common with what you find anywhere else.”
Rovine di Cosa — Colonia Romana sull'Acropoli
Founded in 273 BC on a headland overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, Cosa is one of Italy's best-preserved Roman colonies — yet almost no one knows it. The forum, cyclopean walls, and Capitolium rise from the Mediterranean scrub in a silence that amplifies every footstep. The small attached museum presents its finds with rare academic restraint.
“Climb to the Capitolium at sunset — the view across the Argentario headland and coast to Elba repays any complicated opening hours.”
Oasi WWF Lago di Burano — Fenicotteri e Specchio Costiero
Lago di Burano is a WWF coastal reserve where flamingos winter alongside spoonbills, herons, and rare ducks — a few kilometres from the Via Aurelia. The nature trail follows the lakeside through dense marsh vegetation, with hides that offer exactly the right distance from the wildlife. A place that teaches you to slow down.
“Flamingos are present mainly between October and March; in spring the lake fills with migrants that stop for just a few days.”
Spa Il Pellicano — Rituale sul Tirreno
The spa at Hotel Il Pellicano clings to bare rock above Porto Ercole, offering treatments that draw on Mediterranean botanicals and coastal sea algae. Since the 1960s this place has sheltered a quiet international elite, and the spa preserves that spirit: intimate, never showy. The boundary between inside and outside dissolves — the sea is always present, even with your eyes closed.
“Book a late-afternoon treatment on the private terrace — the Tyrrhenian turns amber at dusk and whatever the back nine left in your shoulders quietly disappears.”
