Our hotels in the thermal spa towns of Abano and Montegrotto are ideally located within a twenty minute drive of three beautiful, tranquil and challenging courses nestled in the hills on the outskirts of Padova. A little further away and only accessible by boat is the course on the Venice lido at the stylish Benetton owned resort at Asolo.

Accommodation

The thermal spa towns of Abano and Montegrotto are the oldest in Europe and have a variety of typical Italian bars and restaurants. Situated in the heart of the Veneto, close to Padova and just an hour from Venice and Bologna it is an ideal base to explore the courses and culture of the region.

We use a selection of 3, 4 and 5 star hotels in the resorts. These include the popular Petrarca, Augustus and Bristol Buja. All our featured hotels have both indoor and outdoor swimming pools and offer a variety of thermal therapy treatment, including mud baths and massage available at a supplement.

The club has a bar and restaurant; friendly and welcoming staff and hosted the 1992 Italian Ladies Open, won by Laura Davies.
