Golf Club Centanni
A compact Florence-hills golf stop where short game, wellness and easy city access create a soft Tuscan stay
Golf Club Centanni is a very specific kind of Florence-area golf stop: compact, relaxed and much more about practice, short-game rhythm and countryside downtime than about championship scale. The nine-hole course sits in the Bagno a Ripoli hills with a resort-like footprint that mixes golf, wellness and easy access to the city.

Fonte della Fata Morgana — Giardino manierista nascosto
Fonte della Fata Morgana is a small sixteenth-century Mannerist folly hidden in the hills of Grassina, and it is exactly the kind of stop that suits Centanni: intimate, strange and local rather than monumental. It gives the day a precise cultural memory without dragging it into the overload of central Florence.
“Treat it as a 20-minute stop, not a destination. Its charm lies in surprise and scale, not in duration.”
Abbazia di Rosano — Pietra, ulivi e silenzio sull'Arno
Rosano is the quietest spiritual detour that suits Centanni better than Florence itself: the abbey, Romanesque stone, olive slopes and the slow logic of the Arno valley. It is where the day truly catches its breath after a practice-oriented round.
“Drive out in the later afternoon and do not add another stop afterward. Rosano works through tapering off, not through stacking attractions.”
Bagno a Ripoli — Tavola toscana di collina
The right table move after Centanni is not central Florence but a Tuscan hillside table around Bagno a Ripoli: grill, vegetables, fresh olive oil and a red wine that stays measured. It lets the day remain local and soft-edged without the logistical weight of the city.
“Book early and keep the meal regional and simple. This part of Tuscany punishes over-ordering far more than it rewards it after golf.”
