Maremma · Tuscany
Monte Argentario was once an island. Now the Orbetello lagoon, where flamingos wade, lies between the promontory and the Maremma mainland, and the Argentario keeps the air of somewhere apart: two harbour towns, Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano, clear water around a coast of coves and pinewoods, and beaches from the sandy Giannella strip to the coves of the promontory.
In a green valley between the two harbours, on a 77-hectare estate of cork oak and centuries-old olive trees, Argentario Golf Villas sit on the hillside above the fairways of Italy’s only PGA National golf course. We hold the Argentario for travelers who want Tuscany with the sea in it: mornings on the course or on the water, afternoons among Maremma vineyards, evenings above the lagoon.
Inland, the vineyards of Chianti and the city of Florence are each around two hours by road, an easy way to give a Tuscan week both the coast and the hills.
Why visit
Featured properties
Houses we know by name, the ones we would open for this landscape.
The house
A first reading of the stay: rooms, light, and the quiet between them. Each still is a note, not a catalogue.
When and how
Each season keeps its own calendar. We plan the transfer around it.
Best time to visit
Late spring to early autumn is the season for the sea, when the partner beach club and its shuttle run from June to September and the outdoor pools are open. The mild climate keeps golf in play all year, and autumn brings quieter harbours and Orbetello’s Gustatus food and wine festival.
Seasonality
The Argentario is a year-round coast: beach days and outdoor pools belong to late spring and summer, golf and the indoor spa to every month. Your advisor confirms villa dates when you inquire.
Airport / logistics
Most arrivals fly into Rome Fiumicino and drive up the Aurelia coast road; Rome Ciampino, Pisa and Florence are two to two and a half hours away. Taxis are few on the promontory, so your advisor arranges a private transfer or a car, and the estate has its own heliport.
