ITALY GOLF TRIP
WHAT IS ITALY
GOLF trip?
A golf trip to central Italy; a journey through the Tuscan country-side and into the old-world charm of Umbria. 2019 is destined to deliver on many fronts and with the 2022 Ryder Cup on the horizon, Italy is set to become a beloved golfing destination.
ABOUT ANTOGNOLLA and LA BAGNAIA
A trip to Italy can conjure a myriad of emotions, in similar fashion to your first trip to Disneyland; a dream destination for many and encircled by choice.
Abounded by such possibilities to experience culture, art, architecture and gastronomy, golf was destined to take priority and we were delighted to find two hidden gems.
With almost countless options for arrival to central Italy; the regional airport in Perugia with golf access within 30 mins, fly into Rome and experience thousands of years of history, experience Florence and truly understand the meaning of Renaissance or even fly to Pisa, Ancona, the list was plentiful.

Nu har vi landat i Italien
När ni tänker på Italien tänker ni säkert på pasta, vin, fotboll, fina bilar och vacker natur. Och det finns det oändligt av. Vad många inte vet (inte ens många av de beresta golfarna) är att det finns otaliga banor i Italien i absolut bästa klass. Vi älskar allt ovan...

The trip
With little more than a 2-hour flight from Scandinavia we opted for the direct SAS flight into Florence, and will enjoy Michaelangelo, Da Vinci and a relaxing drive through the Tuscan country-side with Chianti ever present. Viva Italia!
