Things to do during your golf holiday in Friuli Venezia
A beautiful region surrounded by mountains, Friuli Venezia is Italy’s true hidden gem with so much you can see and do off the course. Home to the sharp-peaked Dolomite Mountains and vineyards producing white wines, you can sip your way along the Strada del Vino. The alpine foothills of the Friuli are some of the best white wine-producing estates in Italy.
Friuli Venezia’s famous sights include the old quarter, the waterfront Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia square and Castello di Miramare, a former royal residence. Hardly comparable to the colosseum, but the Roman ruins of palatial villas, temples and baths provide a reminder of the splendour of the Roman Empire.
For those adrenaline junkies, make sure you check out Tarvisio’s new alpine bob coaster which descends over 1000 meters through the forest. The alpine bob coaster zigs and zags as you race down the track.

Where to stay during your golf break in Friuli Venezia
We recommend staying at the Villaverde Hotel & Resort, located in the hills of Fagagna. It is a leading eco-friendly and sustainable venue. First opened in 2016, this hotel has excellent spa and leisure facilities onsite as well as being located on the same complex as a championship golf course.
The building incorporates natural light as well as taking advantage of the geothermal properties of the local area to keep their carbon footprint to a minimum. All of the bedrooms have a modern feel and offer views of the golf course and the Julian Alps in the distance.
Although there is just one restaurant onsite, it offers guests traditional cuisine in a modern and spacious area. There is also the option to dine in the clubhouse just a few hundred metres walk from the main hotel. The spa and leisure facilities are excellent and continue to the eco-friendly theme.
