Golf Breaks in Italy

Italy has the rare ability to offer many different experiences in one trip. In a one-week break you can do all of the following: visit the beautiful city of Venice; play golf near the sea; enjoy lovely beaches; play on rolling hills where famous Veneto region wines are produced (with a wine tour if you wish); and then on to play at the foot of the Dolomite mountains, a UNESCO world heritage site and famous for skiing and Nordic walking.

Golf Around Italy is perfectly placed to make this a reality for you, and as well as golf holidays they can also offer additional tours, trips and experiences as part of your trip. Here are four examples of the kind of tempting itineraries they can offer.
