Conero Golf Club
Just minutes from Monte Conero and the most elegant coves of the Marches coast
Just minutes from Monte Conero and the most elegant coves of the Marches coast, Conero Golf Club brings together resort lifestyle and golf with understated ease. The course unfolds across a soft Mediterranean landscape with gentle movement, water features and fairways that reward orderly play more than outright drama. The club's real strength lies in its setting: the sea is close, the Conero Riviera deepens the experience and the stay becomes most rewarding when approached as a balance of golf, beach time, food and slow rhythm. Technically, it is a readable course, but not a shallow one. Players who build a round intelligently and manage second-shot tempo are rewarded with consistency. Conero is ideal for travellers seeking a refined central Italian escape, where the golf is welcoming, polished and rooted in one of the country's most underrated coastal landscapes.
Usalo come base per una mini-fuga di due notti: un round qui funziona molto meglio quando si lascia spazio anche al Conero fuori dal campo.
Ottima integrazione tra golf, mare e lifestyle nella Riviera del Conero
Percorso accogliente ma tecnicamente più serio di quanto sembri
Meno “destination golf” puro rispetto ai top club del Nord
Chi cerca un test brutale potrebbe trovarlo troppo misurato

Abbazia di Portonovo: il Romanico sul Mare
The Abbey of Santa Maria di Portonovo is an 11th-century Benedictine abbey built directly on the Monte Conero beach: the apse is 3 metres from the water and in the morning the sea laps the medieval stones. It is Italy's most evocative Romanesque on the sea — one of the world's most photographed — but almost nobody knows the parish priest opens the crypt on request.
“Don Agostino opens the crypt at 7:30 AM by direct booking: inside are the original 11th-century bas-reliefs with hunting scenes and grape vines that the Benedictine monks used as a figurative code for recognition. At high tide the floor gets wet from the surf.”
Umani Ronchi: Pelago Rosso Conero Verticale
Umani Ronchi's Pelago is the Marche answer to Super Tuscans: pure Montepulciano from Monte Conero vines on limestone and clay. The private vertical from 1997 proves that Montepulciano on marine and salty soil develops sea salt, flint, and wild blackberry notes that no Montepulciano d'Abruzzo has ever reached.
“Michele Bernetti opens the 1997 Pelago only for those who can distinguish Marche Montepulciano from Abruzzo in blind tasting. He organises the blind test before the vertical: whoever correctly identifies the origin pays nothing for the tasting.”
Mezzavalle: la Spiaggia Inaccessibile
Mezzavalle is the Conero's most beautiful beach and one of Italy's finest: accessible only on foot down 200 steps or by sea. The sand is brilliant white with black limestone pebbles and the water is crystalline. At dawn, before the sun clears the 200-metre cliffs, the beach is completely empty for at least two hours.
“Portonovo fisherman Guerrino Paolinelli takes you to the beach by sea at 5:30 AM on his dinghy: on the beach he prepares freshly caught mussels and razor clams from the cliffs with lemon and Verdicchio wine. The finest breakfast on the Conero.”
