Where to stay
Rome city
Rome is the natural base for golf in the Italian capital region, combining easy access to Marco Simone and the surrounding courses with everything the Eternal City offers. The trade-off is urban traffic; allow time for the drive to the courses.
- Golf access
- Marco Simone is around 30–40 minutes from the city; other courses are within similar range.
- Restaurants & evenings
- One of the world's great dining cities — from neighbourhood trattorias to Michelin-starred restaurants.
- Families
- The Colosseum, Vatican, Borghese Gardens, and the city's extraordinary history provide inexhaustible family activities.
Frascati / Castelli Romani
The Castelli Romani hill towns south of Rome offer a quieter alternative to the city, with good access to the main courses and the distinctive local food and wine of the Lazio countryside. Frascati in particular has a well-established reputation for its surrounding trattorias.
- Golf access
- Closer to Marco Simone than the city centre, and well-positioned for the courses in the Lazio hills.
- Restaurants & evenings
- The Castelli Romani hill towns are known for their local trattorias and the white wines (Frascati DOC) produced in the area.
- Families
- Quiet hill towns with ancient history and lake swimming at Castel Gandolfo; lower-key than Rome itself.
