The Club

Castelconturbia is one of the grand cathedrals of contemporary Italian golf: expansive, ambitious, impeccably conditioned and designed to leave a lasting impression on anyone who takes the game seriously. Its 27 holes create multiple championship-caliber combinations, with landing areas that appear generous until you confront the bunkering, angles and greens that demand sustained concentration. The setting, between Piedmont and the Lake Maggiore orbit, brings a natural elegance that accompanies the round without softening its sternness. This is a club for players seeking a complete championship experience, one that can comfortably stand beside major European names. Rather than relying on nostalgia, Castelconturbia convinces through structure, conditioning and the competitive intelligence of the layout itself. Within any elite northern Italian itinerary, it is close to indispensable, especially for travelers who want to test themselves on a course fully aware of its own stature.

Wine

Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo: Ghemme Riserva

Cantalupo al Pie di Nimis, Novara · 14 km

The Arlunno family tends some of the oldest nebbiolo vines in northern Piedmont. A private vertical of the Ghemme Riserva Collis Breclemae spans forty vintages, revealing a porphyry and clay terroir with nothing to envy from the Langhe.

Insider Tip

Ask to visit the pre-phylloxera Pelizzane vineyard, which still carries ungrafted vines planted in 1880. Cantalupo rarely shows it, but won't refuse those who know the history.

Art

San Carlone: l'Alba dei Giganti

Arona, Novara · 22 km

The statue of San Carlo Borromeo at Arona stands 35 metres tall and is hollow inside: you can climb to the head through a dark spiral staircase and emerge from the saint's eyes with Lake Maggiore at your feet. At dawn, before public opening, the experience is mystical.

Insider Tip

The sanctuary custodian accepts groups of up to 4 at 7:00 AM with direct booking. The morning mist over the lake seen from inside the statue is an image impossible to forget.

Wellness

Terme di Meina: Acque del Maggiore

Meina, Novara · 18 km

Hidden among the camellia gardens of the Meina lakeside, this small private thermal centre taps oligomineral springs descending from the Alps. Treatments with volcanic mud and Lake Maggiore algae wraps are performed in cabins overlooking the water directly.

Insider Tip

Book the Silenzio del Lago treatment at sunset: the cabins open their floor-to-ceiling windows toward the lake and you float among warm vapours while the sun sets over the Swiss Alps.
