Golf Club Verona
Has a rare quality
Golf Club Verona has a rare quality: it feels classical from the very first glance without ever seeming dated. The course unfolds across an orderly, elegant landscape of mature trees and subtle movement, giving both rhythm and visual depth to the round. There is a distinctly Italian cleanliness to the design: nothing is excessive, yet everything serves a purpose. Tee shots must be placed, approaches deserve thought and the greens reward an educated touch. This is the kind of course that improves as the round develops, especially for players who value tactical construction over obvious spectacle. Its proximity to Verona, Lake Garda and the Valpolicella wine region makes it ideal for an itinerary that combines golf, culture and fine wine. For travellers seeking a solid, refined and historically credible club, Verona remains one of the most dependable choices in northern Italy.

Giuseppe Quintarelli: l'Ultimo Tempio dell'Amarone
Giuseppe Quintarelli's winery at Cerè di Negrar is the holiest place in Italian wine: the Amarone releases after at least 8 years, the Recioto after 6, the Valpolicella Classico Superiore after 5. The family receives by strictly personal appointment: you taste barrel vintages and the latest bottlings among photos of the elder Quintarelli on the walls.
“Francesco Quintarelli only replies if you write to him by hand specifying which vintage you have already drunk and why you came all this way. Without this preamble, he does not reply. With it, he opens the 2001 directly from the barrel.”
Arena di Verona: la Prova Generale
The Verona Arena is the third-largest Roman amphitheatre in the world and still hosts opera performances in summer. The general rehearsal — the day before the season opening — is normally press-only, but through the Organisation's Sponsor Office it is possible to request private access for small groups: you hear Verdi or Puccini in perfect acoustics without 14,000 spectators.
“The general rehearsal always starts at 7:30 PM and lasts 3-4 hours without interruption. Bring an overcoat even in July: the Arena's limestone accumulates cold. The silence during Aida is something you never forget.”
Lefay Resort Garda: la Spa dell'Acqua Viva
Lefay Resort on Lake Garda is one of Europe's most awarded spas: it clings to the Garda escarpment at 150 metres above the lake among century-old olive groves. The Lefay Life Method philosophy combines traditional Chinese medicine, Alpine phytotherapy, and hydrotherapy with the oligomineral waters of the Benaco spring. The infinity pool extends into the void over the lake like a mirage.
“The three-day Aqua Vitae programme is Lefay's flagship treatment: it includes bioimpedance analysis, a personalised nutritional plan, and 6 daily treatments. Book 2 months in advance — it has a permanent waiting list.”
