Porto Ercole, Italy… Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, nestled in the idyllic landscapes of Maremma, southern Tuscany, joins Autograph Collection Hotels. The Italian resort is a local pioneer in sustainability, blending contemporary design with the pristine nature that surrounds it. These unique qualities, combined with its warm hospitality and authentic experiences, have led Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort to join the brand’s dynamic portfolio with more than 290 independent hotels, each selected for their individuality, inherent craft and distinct perspectives on design and hospitality.
“Joining Autograph Collection Hotels is a pivotal moment for Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, as it aligns perfectly with our ethos of providing unique, transformative experiences in harmony with nature,” said Augusto Orsini, General Manager at Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, Autograph Collection. “We are excited to share our vision of wellness and environmental stewardship with a wider audience while continuing to offer our guests the personalised experiences that define our resort and create an authentic sense of place.”
Situated near Porto Ercole, just 90 minutes from Rome International Airport, Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, Autograph Collection is a sanctuary for those seeking relaxation in nature, modern amenities, and the perfect blend of sports, wellness, and cuisine in Italy. Surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of cork-oak woods, olive trees, and the nearby Silver Coast beaches, the resort invites guests to embark on a transformative and empowering journey in one of Tuscany’s best-kept secrets.
Milan-based interior designer Andrea Fogli has created a contemporary style where design coexists with nature inside the dragonfly-shaped resort, which offers a modern vision of the rustic and traditional Maremma Tuscany.
Guests enjoy panoramic views from their beautifully designed 73 guestrooms and suites, all featuring private terraces overlooking the golf course and Orbetello Lagoon up to the Mediterranean Sea. The design guest rooms are light and airy, featuring local and international handpicked art and design pieces, mixing harmoniously with the surrounding wilderness.
The resort’s sports facilities seamlessly blend with nature. Weaving in and out of natural Mediterranean olive groves, Argentario Golf Club is the on-site golf course, the country’s only ‘PGA National Italy’ and will host the prestigious Italian Open on the DP World Tour in 2025. It is maintained exclusively with organic and eco-friendly products. Majestic trees and relaxing views accompany guests to the tennis and padel courts, jogging trails, outdoor fitness station, and a small football pitch.
Contemporary design and the natural landscape blend harmoniously in the Espace Wellness Centre, where floor-to-ceiling windows allow the greenery to embrace the heated indoor pool and humid zone. Every element of the guest experience, from the beauty and MediSpa treatments to the state-of-the-art gym, revolves around pursuing emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing in the most sustainable manner possible.
The dialogue between distinctive design and the spirit of Maremma continues at the Dama Dama Restaurant and the Club House Restaurant, where menus are crafted using local organic products, many of which are sourced from the resort’s vegetable garden and handpicked farms. Dama Dama offers a contemporary twist on Tuscan and Mediterranean cuisine, with signature dishes including pink shrimp carpaccio with olive oil ice cream and herring caviar, and Caldaro fish soup from Argentario, while the Club House provides a casual yet creative dining atmosphere and classic Italian dishes from Florentine-style steak to homemade ricotta tortelli with Maremma-style ragu.
With no two Autograph Collection hotels the same, each individual property offers ‘The Mark’, a signature experience crafted through passion and expert skill, leaving a lasting imprint on guests. Reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and intimate guest experiences, Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, Autograph Collection will soon inaugurate its distinctive Secret Place to mark its entry into the Autograph Collection. This innovative, biophilic building vanishes into the Tuscan woods, offering guests an immersive nature experience with views of the WWF-managed lagoon, birdwatching, and tasting sessions of homemade olive oil, tea infusions and healthy snacks.
“For golf lovers and active visitors choosing roads less travelled, Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, Autograph Collection is exactly like nothing else,” added Augusto Orsini. “It is the perfect base to explore everything the region offers, particularly its wildlife, and nearby art cities like Florence, Rome, and Siena. It’s a magical oasis that allows guests to escape from the trials of daily life and be fully immersed in nature while making a positive impact on themselves and Mother Earth.”
