Go golfing in Italy

Sanctuary Villas & Apartments is offering special golfing packages to guests booking a stay at one of their upmarket villas in the Italian region of Umbria. The package includes a complimentary three-day course pass to the recently re-opened Antognolla Golf Club for up to two guests, plus complimentary hire of one golf cart for three days.

These extras are offered with all bookings made at Sanctuary’s villa Il Fagiano before the end of May 2008 for travel during mid- and low-season. This covers stays completed before 28th June 2008 and beginning after 29th August 2008.

Il Fagiano could scarcely be more convenient for golf enthusiasts, with Antognolla Golf Club situated adjacent to the property, just a five minute ride by golf cart. The recently re-opened course boasts an undulating 18-hole course that makes the most of the area’s natural beauty as well as a driving range, practice ground and clubhouse with bar.

The villa itself has been converted into a luxurious home from a former gatekeeper’s residence and adjacent chapel. With two double and two twin bedrooms, Il Fagiano sleeps up to eight guests and also includes an outdoor swimming pool and modern conveniences such as internet connection, DVD player and library and Mp3 speakers.

For non-golfing guests, or golfers on their days off, the wider region around Il Fagiano offers plenty to keep guests occupied. The ancient heart of Perugia, known for its chocolate; Assisi with its awesome cathedrals; and Lake Trasimeno, a vast lake with water sports beach, are all within easy reach of the villa.

Low-season rentals at Il Fagiano start from £3,055 per week on a Tailor Made (villa only) basis and £4,570 per week with a Sanctuary Hosted package, based on eight sharing.

The Sanctuary Hosted package provides guests with a concierge-style service with extra touches such as an arrival supper, a welcome pack of toiletries and daily maid service, amongst other benefits.

Prices quoted do not include flights.
