Argentario Golf Villas

Three villa types above the course, each reached by private cart, with an annex, a full Italian kitchen and independent air conditioning and heating.

3-Bedroom Maremma Cottage. Up to six guests in 127 m², with a 20 m² annex that has its own bathroom. A king master suite with en-suite bath and closet, two further king bedrooms sharing a bathroom, and two terraces (130 m²) with an outdoor hot tub over the golf course, the polo club and the Gulf of Talamone. Two interior styles: Horse Track, in marfil stone and dark oak, or Olive Trees, with natural oak and vintage carpets.

4-Bedroom Maremma Cottage. Up to eight guests in 143 to 164 m², with a 31 m² annex. Four double bedrooms, one of them in the annex, three or four bathrooms, a living room with a bio-ethanol fireplace, and a terrace with a barbecue and hot tub facing the course; some cottages add a Turkish bath.

6-Bedroom Hills Lodge. Up to twelve guests in 218 m², with a 40 m² annex. A double-height living and dining room, five king bedrooms in the house and a sixth bedroom with its own bathroom in the annex, five bathrooms in all, and a 144 m² terrace and patio with panoramic views of the course and the Orbetello lagoon.

Two restaurants and two bars cook farm to table, from the resort’s organic kitchen garden and the farms of the Maremma, under executive chef Emiliano Lombardelli, who was born on the Argentario.

Dama Dama. The fine-dining room, named for the fallow deer that roam the estate and featured in Gambero Rosso’s 2026 guide: inventive land and sea dishes, a tasting menu, a cellar rich in Tuscan, biodynamic and natural wines, and a panoramic terrace from spring to autumn.

Club House. Argentario cooking with a view over the course to the sea: tortelli al ragù, panzanella, bistecca alla fiorentina. Its bar serves from morning to evening, and aperitivo is at the Dragonfly Bar, with its Marcel Wanders boar tables, or on the panoramic terraces at sunset, looking toward the Gulf of Talamone.

In the villa. Breakfast is served at the resort, or a private chef and waiter can cook and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner on your own terrace.

The Espace Wellness Center gives 2,700 m² to light woods and floor-to-ceiling glass looking into the greenery, and villa guests use it every day of their stay.

Water and heat. A heated saline pool that runs from indoors to outdoors and stays open all year, a Turkish bath, and in late spring and summer two outdoor pools, one for children, above the ninth hole and the polo fields.

Treatments. Signature rituals with local lavender and organic Maremma olive oil; the Espace Suite, a private spa with an aromatic Turkish bath under a starred sky, a hammam bed and a floating water bed; and the MediSpa’s Wellbeing Method, led by nutritionist Luca Naitana. Treatments can also come to the villa.

Movement. A Technogym gym with personal trainers, two tennis and two padel courts, a five-a-side pitch and two jogging trails through olive and oak; yoga can be arranged in the gardens or on the Argentario’s beaches.

The concierge shapes the days around three things the Argentario does beautifully: golf, the sea and the Maremma.

Golf. The Argentario Golf Club is Italy’s only PGA National course: 18 holes, 6,295 metres, par 71, opened in 2006 through olive groves and Mediterranean scrub, with two holes above the sea and the lagoon. A mild microclimate keeps it in play all year, and the Academy teaches adults and children alike.

The coast. A partner beach club on the sandy Giannella shore, ten minutes away; skippered boats, from fast day boats to yachts, for the promontory’s hidden coves; ferries to Giglio and Giannutri from Porto Santo Stefano; diving, sailing lessons and catch-and-release fishing on the lagoon.

The Maremma. Rides through olive groves and scrub toward the Uccellina park, Pirelli e-bikes, tastings with a sommelier or at partner wineries, cooking classes with the chef, the hot springs of Saturnia, and days in Porto Ercole, Orbetello and Capalbio, or as far as Siena and Rome.

Families and friends who want a house of their own with a five-star resort around it: the Hills Lodge sleeps twelve, the cottages six or eight.

Golfers. Villas above the fairways of a PGA National course, with a golf cart at the door.

Families. An indoor play area, a playground, a children’s pool in season and, in high season, a Mini Club; babysitting, children’s golf lessons and sailing courses can be arranged.

Wellness weeks. Daily time at the spa, the Wellbeing Method and treatments in the villa.

Dogs. Four-legged guests are welcome, with a pet kit on request and an estate made for long walks.

The estate lies just off the Aurelia coast road at Località Le Piane, 4 km from Porto Ercole and Marina di Cala Galera, 2.5 km from Orbetello and 8 km from Porto Santo Stefano.

By air. Rome Fiumicino is 140 km away, about an hour and a half by road; Rome Ciampino is 165 km (two hours), Pisa 200 km and Florence 205 km (two and a quarter to two and a half hours). The nearest railway station is Orbetello, for Monte Argentario.

By helicopter. The resort has its own heliport, and helicopter transfers can be arranged.

Good to know. Taxis are few and ride-sharing does not operate here, so your advisor arranges a private transfer or a car. On the estate you move by electric cart, bike or on foot, and arrival comes with a welcome of fruit and champagne.

A mild climate keeps the Argentario in season all year; what changes is the shape of the days.

Summer. The beach club and its shuttle run from June to September, the outdoor pools open from late spring, and Dama Dama dines on its terrace from spring to autumn. Porto Ercole lights the sea with fireworks for Sant’Erasmo on 2 June, and Porto Santo Stefano rows its Palio Marinaro on 15 August.

Spring and autumn. Quieter harbours and mild days for golf, riding and cycling. Easter brings the Pasquavela regatta off Porto Santo Stefano, and late October the Gustatus food and wine festival in Orbetello.

Winter. Golf is played year-round, and the heated indoor pool and the villas’ hot tubs come into their own. Your advisor confirms villa dates when you inquire.
