With the glorious summer days that welcome you to Maremma, a refreshing cocktail is just what you need to chill after a day out at the beach, sightseeing, cycling, sailing, playing golf or enjoying any of the numerous activities that this part of southern Tuscany has to offer.

We stopped at La Buvette Bar near Porto Ercole (Monte Argentario), where drinks can be sipped “al fresco” on a panoramic wood terrace overlooking the Argentario golf course up to Orbetello Lagoon and the Bay of Talamone.

Head bartender Cecilia recommends the following 3 delicious non-alcoholic fruity cocktails that are a favorite among golfers and non-players alike at La Buvette!
