Better Than an Indian Summer: Autumn Golf on Monte Argentario

Better Than an Indian Summer: Autumn Golf on Monte Argentario

As the days grow shorter and the sun turns a deeper gold, summer eases gently into extra time – and Tuscany reveals what may be its finest side: warm, tranquil and simply perfect for a golfing break.

If that sounds like your kind of autumn, the “Golfin’ Tuscany” package is your perfect match right now: three rounds on the legendary PGA National Italy Course – host venue of the 2025 Italian Open –, plus a generous breakfast buffet, free access to the spa, the driving range, the padel and tennis courts, the fitness room, and the finest jogging paths you’ll ever run on a golf course.

Autumn, what’s more, is the season’s true time for indulgence. And honestly: a glass of Tuscan red after the 18th hole tastes even better in October than it does in July.

Mornings, you’ll wake to lush green views, the smell of espresso on your teak terrace, the golf course right in front of you – and the sea just a stone’s throw away. When luxury isn’t loud but feels like a gentle summer breeze, you’ve arrived. In one of the new golf villas at the Argentario Resort, tucked between pine groves and the glittering blue of the lagoon.

Feel Good, Sleep Beautifully.

The new villas, with three to six bedrooms, sit right on the fairway of the PGA National Golf Course and offer complete privacy, panoramic terraces and even an outdoor whirlpool. Perfect for a stylish break with your golf buddies or the whole family.

View the luxury villas

If a stylish hotel suite suits you better than a luxury villa – that’s possible too. The Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort was recently given a comprehensive renovation, unveiling a fresh, elegant new look in preparation for the 2025 DP World Tour.

And then there’s the taste of Tuscany.

What grows in the garden ends up in the kitchen – exactly as it should: fresh, organic, seasonal. At the Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, sustainability doesn’t start on the green, it starts on the plate. The resort’s own vegetable garden yields aubergines, tomatoes, basil, courgettes, watermelons and much more – harvested with care, cooked with dedication.

Anyone after a culinary highlight should start the evening at the newly redesigned fine-dining restaurant Dama Dama. The atmosphere: stylishly understated, with anthracite walls, artwork, an open fire – and a bronze stag sculpture with a story to tell. The menu: a sensory journey between land and sea, between texture and temperament.

A little more relaxed, but no less special, is dining at the Club House – overlooking the golf course and the Tuscan landscape. Between a club sandwich and a Florentine steak, between organic caciotta ravioli and panzanella, the region meets international flair. And with every glass of Tuscan red, it becomes clear: autumn has plenty to offer.

Naturally Sustainable: Golf That Feels Good.

Sustainability has long since become more than a trend – it’s a standard that modern hospitality now has to meet. At the Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, it’s deeply embedded in the DNA, through measures both small and large that genuinely make a difference.

What does that mean in practice? Small natural islands, for one, where birds can nest safely, away from natural predators. Or a golf tournament that sets new standards not just in sport but in sustainability, too: the 2025 Italian Open became the first tournament in Italy to be certified to the international ISO 20121 standard for sustainable event management.

But sustainability doesn’t stop at the tournament. Since the resort opened in 2008, more than 300,000 new plants have been established – and the return of fallow deer, hares and rare bird species shows just how well the new habitat is developing.

This isn’t just about golf. It’s about experiences that build awareness. For nature. For what lasts. And for a lifestyle that combines mindfulness and excellence in a wholly natural way.

Naturally, we at Nineteen went to see it for ourselves. And what can we say?

Experience. Discover. Unwind.

Ideas for the 19 hours beyond the round.

Bike Through the Maremma

Tip: grab one of the premium Pirelli CYCL-e around™ e-bikes, available free of charge, and go and explore Tuscany. Glide silently through olive groves, past vineyards and all the way down to the coast. No hill too steep, no view too far. That’s what freedom feels like – sustainable, elegant, and entirely sweat-free.

Taste the Morellino Wines

The winemakers of the southern Maremma have learned to work with the hot climate – and you can taste it: today’s Morellino is a mature, expressive Sangiovese with character and depth.

Our tip: visit one of the many wine estates around Grosseto. Many offer tours and tastings – perfect for getting to know the Morellino in all its variety.

Visit Pitigliano – Tuscany’s “little Jerusalem”

Pitigliano’s ochre houses merge with the tufa rock they rest on – as if they’d grown straight out of the stone.

Often called the “little Jerusalem,” the village owes its name to the Jewish community that settled here in the 16th century. Narrow lanes, plenty of history – and an atmosphere that moves you.

Set Sail Around the Peninsula

Crystal-clear sea, rugged coastline, hidden coves: seen from a boat, Monte Argentario shows its most beautiful side. Whether a charming speedboat or a stylish yacht with skipper, you set the pace and the direction. Ideal for a day of wide-open views, salt water on your skin, and that unmistakable feeling of freedom.

Enjoy an Olive Oil Tasting

More than 4,000 olive trees frame the golf course, giving the resort its own organic olive oil – genuine Tuscan gold. In the restaurants, it refines the cooking; on the clubhouse’s panoramic terrace, it becomes the main attraction at sunset, served the classic way as fettunta on toasted bread. Simple. Delicious. Unforgettable.

Spend a Day Relaxing at the Espace Spa

Start in the warm light of the indoor pool, looking out over the golf course. Detox in the organic sauna circuit, breathe deeply in the Turkish bath. If you like, things get high-tech from there, with innovative treatments drawn from longevity medicine. Or keep it classic with a signature massage inspired by the Tuscan landscape.
