that the hotel can arrange is a visit to Le Mortelle Wine Estate belonging to the Antinori family - a perfect partner for Argentario Golf. After a fascinating tour of their state-of-the-art cellar we enjoyed a private tasting of prestigious wines before heading back to the resort for a unique fine dining experience at the Dama Dama Restaurant. So named after the fallow deer that occasionally roam around the grounds where you can sample Emiliano Lombardelli‘s Tuscan gourmet tasting menus based on the flavours and colours of the local land with lots of surprises including naturally blue-violet potato dust!
There are currently five bespoke luxury villas boasting ground breaking design and views to buy or rent with the resort planning to limit the number to 22 over the next few years! Villas enjoy privacy and independence with stunning panoramic views you can’t match, with open access and sharing all comforts and services of the five-star Argentario Resort. Concierge service, Wi-Fi and secure parking are available to all guests whilst those staying at the villas enjoy complimentary green fees throughout their stay. Also included is a beach service to one of the most exclusive beach clubs of the area and excursions: yacht and boat rental, sailing courses, fishing trips, cookery lessons, guided visits in wineries and olive mills. There’s an on-site heliport, polo club and luxury shopping in the Argentario resort boutique where you can buy designer fashion, bespoke interiors, local wines and sportswear.
Two Hills Lodges feature ‘the Lagoon Bay’ design with family living spaces, double-height living rooms, cinema rooms and huge decks overlooking the polo fields where tournaments are played from
Argentario Golf Course
It’s the perfect place to enjoy an aperitif and feast on fresh seafood. The larger seaside Porto Santo Stefano is where ferry boats depart on trips for the Islands of Giglio and Giannutri.
Golfers in our party appreciated the peacefulness and beauty of a natural, unspoilt and charmingly Italian style 18-hole championship golf course far from the mass tourism. Designed to be eco- conscious, it is surrounded by picturesque landscapes and wildlife. No hole looks the same and hundreds of shimmering silver ancient olive groves under the Tuscan sun make it appear centuries old with incredible panoramas.
As a non-golfer, I lolled around the wellness centre and indulged in a heavenly body massage and facial experience at the spa leaving me with an immediate sensation of relaxation and wellness before a laze by the pools - alternatively there is a beach service to one of the natural beaches or guests can just unwind in one of their spacious and well-appointed rooms and villas, complete with their own Jacuzzi tubs!
Argentario offers a strategic location to visit local attractions, cultural days out and sight-seeing trips to explore monuments and the art cities like Rome, Sienna, Florence and Pisa. Thanks to its mild climate it permits a great variety of interests and activities that can be enjoyed all year-round, including nature reserves, beaches, sailing and water sports, horse-riding, hiking, cycling, golf and of course spending time surrounded by nature. One must-do excursion
