The Veneto region invites you to visit its cities made famous by William Shakespeare as far back as 5 centuries ago. They have all kept their appeal: Verona, of Romeo and Juliet fame, Padua, setting of the Taming of the Shrew, Venice, home of the Merchant of Venice and, indirectly, Othello.
However, in a matter of a few hours, Veneto offers tourists more than this:
110 kilometres of beaches, lake Garda, The Dolomites and other charming mountains, unique parks and natural areas, every type of spas in the Euganean Basin. All this is accompanied by the excellent 25 DOC and 4 DOCG wines as well as internationally renowned products like Prosecco, Amarone and Soave.
This is why Veneto is by far the favourite destination of tourists visiting Italy who, in 2009, accounted for over 60 million overnight stays, more than 60% of which from abroad.
43 excellent golf courses, in a close distance to each other, superb staff running them, integrated in 8 Golf Districts as they were:
Venice, The Seaside of Venice, Verona & The Garda Lake, the Dolomites, Rovigo & the Natural Parcs, Vicenza & The Palladian Villas, Treviso & the Prosecco Hills , Padua & the Thermal Spas are awaiting your visit.
It is very easy to reach Veneto by car and train from Europe; on the other hand Veneto is well served by 3 international airports Treviso, Venice & Verona.
We are very proud to mention that Veneto is the home of the teenage golfing sensation Matteo Manassero.
A number of villas and hotels in the Veneto Region have joined this golf cluster. These will be promoted through the www.golfinveneto.com website.
The Veneto region has embraced the notion of Sustainable Tourism, one of the EU pillars as outlined in the treaty of Lisbon. The Veneto region believes that the environment is not incompatible with financial objectives and that, in the long run, they can be interdependent.
