Rich in history, art, culture and traditions, Tuscany also offers fabulous landscapes, flavors of authentic cuisine and exquisite wines: all the ingredients for a perfect holiday or week end destination. But Tuscany also enjoys great golf courses. Villa le Barone, in the heart of Chianti and close to the main Renaissance art cities such as Florence and Sienna, also has the privilege of being only 20 minutes away from the Ugolino Golf course. This golf opened in 1933 and is the birthplace of Italian golf. Its architects, an Englishman Cecil Blandford and an Irishman Peter Gannon, used the natural contours of the Tuscan hills to realize an exceptional course, through a landscape of great beauty among vineyards, olive trees, pines and other Mediterranean plants.
Many champions, amateurs and professionals, have been and are members of the Ugolino Golf Club where many international competitions have taken place. In 2009 the Italian Olympic Committee has also awarded the Gold Medal to the Ugolino Golf Course to recognize its successes. Golf Ugolino also is -as per Chris Santella’s book- one of the “fifty places to play golf before you die”.
Stay at Villa Barone, 20 minutes away from the golf Ugolino, get a 10% discount on green fees as per our agreement with the Golf, and you will spend a perfect holiday, combining both exercise and a healthy and regenerative rest while visiting unforgettable places in Tuscany .
