A member of Design Hotels, the Argentario Golf Resort & Spa is located on the Monte Argentario promontory in the picturesque Maremma region of Italy and offers all the charm of a Tuscan hideaway with sleek, modern design, state-of-the-art facilities and exceptional service.

The par 71, 6,218 metre golf course, designed by Italian architect David Mezzacane and professional golfer Badlovino Dassù and several holes were subsequently shaped by Brian Jorgensen, is noted for its panoramic views of the Orbetello Lagoon, Tyrrhenian Sea and surrounding Mediterranean topography.

It is however a deceptively varied and technically-challenging layout. The undulating front nine runs in and out of cork-oak woods showcasing local flora and fauna whilst the back nine meanders gently through romantic, centuries-old olive groves at the foothills of Monte Argentario.
 
The course is characterized by small, fast-paced greens, a host of intimidating water hazards running alongside several holes and tricky, rolling fairways reminiscent of a links layout. More often than not, a refreshing sea breeze cools down the Tuscan sun though adds an extra challenge to game management which, on this course, requires a combination of accuracy and power.
The well-equipped Golf Academy features the TrackMan IIIe simulator, the latest-generation platform for analyzing your swing and a driving range whilst in-house professionals, Emanuele Canonica and Paolo de Salvatore, are on hand at certain times of the year to give golf lessons.

After golf, gastronomic delights created by chefRiccardo Cappelli await guests in the Dama Dama Restaurant. The cuisine is based on the flavours and colours of the local terrain with dishes prepared using authentic produce from small, carefully-selected local farms and, at certain times of the year, directly from the hotel’svegetable garden and orchard whilst local wines are available to accompany all meals.

Argentario is easily accessed from Rome Fiumicino Airport by car in just an hour and a half whilst Rome Ciampino and Pisa are just over two hours away.
