Pratoranieri is a relaxed seaside area of Follonica on Tuscany’s Maremma coast, ideal for golfers who want beach time, Italian food and scenic golf in one easy holiday. Known for its golden sand and clear water, Pratoranieri is one of Follonica’s best-known beach areas and works well for couples, families and groups who want a coastal base rather than a busy city stay.

The main golfing highlight nearby is Riva Toscana Golf Resort & Spa, located in Follonica in the heart of Maremma. The resort combines golf, spa, pool, restaurant and sea views, giving golfers a comfortable base close to the Tuscan coast. Its 18-hole, par-72 championship course measures around 6,475 metres and is set among Tuscan hills, olive trees and views across the Gulf of Follonica and Elba Island. The layout is designed to feel varied, with doglegs, uphill and downhill holes, wide Bermuda fairways and strategic water hazards.

Away from the fairways, Pratoranieri is perfect for slow seaside days. Follonica offers beaches, seafront walks, cycling, food and wine, culture, outdoor sports and easy access to the wider Maremma region. The Gulf of Follonica is known for pine forests, fine sandy beaches and clear turquoise sea, while Maremma adds medieval villages, vineyards, thermal baths and authentic Tuscan countryside.

For UK golfers, Pratoranieri works beautifully as part of a tailor-made Tuscany golf holiday, combining coastal relaxation, resort golf and classic Italian exploring. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right hotel, tee times, transfers and wider Tuscan itinerary.
