RETURN TO SAMPLE TOURS PAGE

Enjoy wine, cooking and five rounds of golf on this seven-night tour of Italy’s gorgeous Lake Como region. Located in the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy, the 1,300-foot deep Lake Como is a playground for the wealthy and famous, with stars such as Madonna, George Clooney and Sylvester Stallone owning residences there. Monticello - Red Course is a Raffaele Buratti design, later modified and improved by Jim Fazio, that has served as host for multiple Italian Open championships. Nestled against the Alps, the layout features flat, wide fairways. Golf Club Menaggio offers a short, but stout course with narrow sloping fairways and incredible views of the lake. Also visit the library, which features one of the world’s largest collections of golf publications. Golf Club Carimate winds through an estate that features a medieval castle. Large rhododendrons and epic oaks dot the course, which was renovated and modernized in 2007 to ensure its high ranking in the region. Golf Club Villa d’Este is an Italian gem, opened in 1926 and carved through the forest, finishing at a memorable clubhouse. Deluxe accommodations provided throughout the tour at Villa d’Este. Self-drive options available for parties of four.

Golf Schedule

La Pinetina image

The course stretches across 64 hectares of land within the Tradate-Appiano Gentile park and is surrounded by a still unspoilt nature. Enjoy the wonderful panoramic views characterized by the presence of water hazards and well-kept and quick greens. The course is on a secluded property, amid birches, oaks and chestnut trees. Wildlife such as hawks, hares and ducks make this retreat a pleasant setting. On a clear day the Apennines are within view, along with the Alps of Lombardy.
Monticello image

Modified and improved by American architect Jim Fazio, this course has hosted the Italian Open tournament on several occasions. The natural setting is wonderful with wide and flat fairways surrounded by the mountains, two artificial lakes and 200,000 trees that complete this really unique golf course. The 16th is one of the more beautiful par 4s in the nation, a tricky dogleg left par-4 that is defended by water hazard on the left side and smart bunkering to protect a well-contoured green.
Menaggio image

The course is set in the hills overlooking Lake Como and requires precision to play over the natural terrain, the narrow fairways and the steep inclines. The greens are severe and well-maintained. The attractiveness of being among the ''open'' courses is not one of the worries of the club, which prefers discretion. The course has a wonderful backdrop of the central Alps. Be sure to visit the library considered the most precious concentration of golf publications in the world.
Carimate image

Located in the heart of Brianza, just 27 kilometres far from Milan, set in the green forest which offer welcome shade on hot summer days. The course surrounds a large medieval castle which still stands today. There are a series of tree-lined doglegs on the golf course as the layout winds through dense, mature groves of trees. The property features 10,000 botanical species and water hazards are not a major factor on this course.
