Destination Italy - Lombardy

The Lombardy region is well-served by airports, and there are UK flights to Milan Linate, Milan Malpensa, Milan Bergamo and Brescia airports.

Milan is a big destination for business travelers', but many tourists also spend a day or more there before moving on. Art-lovers will not want to miss the masterpieces in the city's galleries. For longer, more tranquil holidays, huge numbers head for the Italian lakes: Lake Como and Lake Iseo are entirely within Lombardy, while the region's borders run along one shore of Lake Maggiore (in the west) and one shore of Lake Garda (in the east).

On the outskirts of Milan we feature the 4 star Le Roninie Golf resort which has a superb Jack Nicklaus course on site. A bit further to the east near Lake Garda we are pleased to offer the 5 star Palazzo Arzaga Hotel Spa and Golf Resort, which has 2 golf courses around the hotel. Arzaga 1 designed by Jack Nicklaus and the 9 hole Arzaga 2 designed by Gary Player.

The most famous lakes in Italy are in what is sometimes called the Italian Lake District, in the north of the country not far from the Alps. That anglicised description is evocative of the area's poetic and literary connections. Beloved of the romantic poets as well as later writers, statesmen and royalty, the northern Italian lakes are beautiful and atmospheric, where mountains descend to meet the lakeshore, and stately grand hotels dominate pretty lakeside towns. Lake Garda, Lake Como and Lake Maggiore are particularly famous and have been popular for centuries with English, American, German and other international tourists.

For great golf holidays in Italy we highly recommend Lombardy. However, Bill Goff Golf Tours also offers golf holidays in Italy at many other destinations including the Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. For a wide selection of great value golf holidays in Italy look no further than Bill Goff Golf Tours.
