Why you should get your skates on to Tuscany

Words: GolfPunk

A relaxing combination of golf, gastronomy and wellness is on offer this summer at the mesmerizing Argentario Golf Resort & Spa (www.argentarioresort.com) located on the Monte Argentario promontory in the picturesque Maremma region of Tuscany in Italy.

The luxurious Argentario offers all the charm, tranquillity and beauty of a Tuscan hideaway with sleek, modern design, state-of-the-art facilities and exceptional service.

Whilst staying at this beautiful resort, guests can enjoy golf over the par 71, 6,218 metre course that provides panoramic views over the Orbetello Lagoon, the Tyrrhenian Sea and the surrounding rugged hillside as the golf course weaves in and out of olive groves and natural Mediterranean vegetation.

Off the course, there is an Espace Wellness Centre and MediSPA where guests can unwind. The 2,700 m² spa includes a fitness centre with Technogym equipment, bio-sauna with chromotherapy, Kneipp circuit, heated indoor swimming pool with saline water, six massage cabins and tanning showers plus numerous other services.

Guests can then indulge themselves in gastronomic meals, created by chef Riccardo Cappelli, in the stylish Dama Dama Restaurant, named after the fallow deer that occasionally roam the resort. The cuisine is based on the local terrain with flavours and colours of dishes prepared using authentic produce from small, carefully-selected local farms and, at certain times of the year, directly from the hotel’s vegetable garden and orchard.

Other facilities available include access to the golf practice area, tennis courts, jogging paths that skirt the golf course and edge of the forest and a small football pitch, whilst horse riding, fishing trips and outings to the nearby silver beaches with their crystal-clear waters can easily be arranged by the hotel.

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.
