Tuscany Detox & Wellness Retreat at Argentario Golf Resort

The retreat starts with a consultation and a full check-up: anthropometry (systematic body measurements), bioelectrical impedance analysis, plicometry (skin-fold measurement of body fat), adipometry, and a urine test strip checking glucose, pH, urobilinogen, bilirubin and leucocytes. From those numbers Dr. Luca Naitana builds a personalised nutritional plan. On the 3-night package you get a follow-up visit; the 7-night package adds a final visit as well.

Food is full board at the Club House Restaurant, drinks excluded, and follows the Wellbeing Method — dietetic but creative cooking rather than plain steamed vegetables. Morning and afternoon snacks are included. The menu is written for you based on the check-up, not picked off a set card.

The spa side is handled by the Espace Wellness Center team, who select the treatments that suit your plan. The 3-night stay includes 2 custom spa treatments. The 7-night stay includes 6. You also get personal training hours: 1 hour on the 3-night package, 5 hours on the 7-night.

What separates this from a generic detox week is the clinical setup. You are being measured and tested, not just fed salads. The nutritionist adjusts your plan between visits. The programme is designed around weight, shape and maintaining the results afterwards, which is why the 7-night option includes a final visit before you leave.

The resort is a 5-star property in Porto Ercole, in the Maremma region of Tuscany. Guests have access to the driving range, tennis and padel courts, jogging paths, outdoor parking and Wi-Fi. The Argentario Golf Club's 18-hole course is on site, so non-programme hours can be spent on the fairways or walking the coastline.
