Trip Overview

The tour begins with 2 nights in Rome with a private sightseeing tour of the highlights. You depart Rome and head north for five days in Tuscany where you explore the hilltop villages of Pienza, Montalcino, Siena and San Gimignano, you taste the famous pecorino cheese of Pienza, have lunch and wine tasting at Montalcino, explore Siena and dine in San Gimignano. In Tuscany you spend 2 nights at Royal Golf La Bagnaia Resort & Spa and 3 nights at Toscano Resort Castelfalfi. Both are luxury 5-star resorts built in medieval tuscan villages. You play golf at Royal Golf La Bagnaia, Castelfalfi Lake Course and Castelfalfi Mountain Course and enjoy authentic homecooked Italian dinners.

 

You leave Tuscany and travel further north to Santa Margherita Ligure, staying two nights in an elegant historic hotel that adjoins the famous seaside promenade on the Italian Riviera. You have a full day to either relax by the pool, explore Santa Margherita or take the ferry to nearby Portofino. The next day you head further northward along the Liguria coast and into the moutains and onto your next stop - the beautiful and secluded Biella Le Betulle Golf Club nestled in the foothills of the Alps. Located in a forested valley with stunning mountain backdrops, this private course is rated amongst the best in Italy. At Biella you enjoy a leisurely 9 holes in the late afternoon followed by a degustation dinner in the clubhouse, then 18 holes of golf the next morning. You then head east towards Lake Como, stopping at the highly regarded Castelconturbia Resort for golf and a one night's stay.
 
Then there is time to 'catch your breath', with a relaxing four night stay in Como. The La Barcetta Excelsior Hotel is located in the heart of Como and your room is guaranteed to overlook the Lake. Whilst in Como you play golf at two stunning and historic courses, Villa d'Este and Menaggio & Cadennabia, you take a ferry ride to the famous resort town of Bellagio and explore the restaurants and shops Como is famous for.
The tour finishes with a farewell presentation meal at the beautiful Mennaggio Clubhouse.
