Molinetto Country Club
Molinetto is an unexpectedly green escape within easy reach of Milan
Molinetto is an unexpectedly green escape within easy reach of Milan, ideal for players who want serious golf without turning the outing into a full-scale trip. The club sits in a tidy residential setting and offers a layout where water, deceptively generous landing areas and well-protected greens create a test stronger than the phrase 'country club' might initially suggest. Scoring requires patience, particularly through the inward nine where the design becomes more selective. Convenience is one of its obvious strengths, yet it would be unfair to reduce it to mere practicality. Molinetto carries its own light, contemporary elegance, well suited to golfers who value a well-organised day, a meaningful round and a polished environment free from unnecessary stiffness. For local residents and business travellers wanting to fit quality golf into a tighter schedule, it remains a notably smart choice.
Se sei in zona per lavoro, prenotalo come late-morning round: ti permette di giocare con calma e rientrare a Milano senza la sensazione di avere corso tutto il giorno.
Ottimo equilibrio tra accessibilità logistica e qualità del percorso
Atmosfera contemporanea e poco rigida, ideale anche per business leisure
Meno iconico dei grandi nomi storici lombardi
Il contesto è più urbano-residenziale che immersivo
Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Palazzo Reale — Gli Appartamenti Napoleonici
Within the halls of Milan's Palazzo Reale lie intact Napoleonic apartments — rare in Europe — and a permanent exhibition on Milan's history that most Milanese themselves have never visited. The piano nobile is almost always walked in complete solitude.
“On Tuesday evenings the museum closes at 10:30pm. Between 8 and 10pm the Canova hall is almost always empty. The Thursday evening custodian, Patrizia, offers an informal account of the Napoleonic portraits found in no audio guide, to anyone who asks.”
Naviglio della Martesana — Towpath al Crepuscolo
The Naviglio della Martesana, designed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1497 to link Milan to the Adda river, flows for 38km past 18th-century farmhouses, still-working mills, and country taverns. The stretch from Gorgonzola to Cassano d'Adda at sunset is one of the last intact Lombard countrysides.
“The Osteria del Naviglio in Groppello has no sign. The Pozzi family serves a single first course each day: always risotto, always with garden ingredients. No reservations — just arrive. If they are full, come back tomorrow.”
Castello di Pomerio — Wellness Medievale
The 9th-century Lombard castle of Erba, in the province of Como, today houses a wellness facility integrated into the original medieval architecture. Heated pool in the former inner courtyard, hammam circuit in the castle cellars, massages with Larian olive oil.
“The 'Percorso Longobardo' — hammam, cold plunge, wild Brianza herb massage, dinner in the knights' hall — is bookable only on Saturday morning for Sunday evening. Six places, menu decided by the chef.”
