Golf holidays in Italy

Far more than just a safe bet for delicious food and quality wines, Italy is also an excellent choice for fantastic golf in Europe. Stay in an exquisite converted palace near Lake Garda and play a round in rolling lakeside scenery before an evening at the open-air opera. Or, enjoy a game in a grand hunting estate decorated with terracotta and frescoes in the Tuscan countryside close to the art of Florence and the history of Pisa. Italy’s rich culture and golf opportunities also extend beyond the shores of the mainland. Over in Sicily, where quality golf courses are increasing in numbers, you’ll find glamorous golf resorts such as Verdura which is fantastic for all the family. For the best weather and undiscovered gems of island courses, Sicily is creating waves in the industry. Alternatively you can experience the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean in Sardinia.
