21.08.–26.08. —
5 nights, DBL Superior with Private Patio, BED AND BREAKFAST
The urge to kneel down in front of this charming old Abbey is strong. The Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf, made of a 27-hole championship golf course, an apartment building and a four-star hotel, offer many beautiful angles. The two buildings of the old Abbey, where the rooms are situated, appear to be country style on the outside, but their interiors will surprise you with their elegance and the perfect combination of different materials such as marble and wood. The large, bright rooms and Suites have been designed halfway between traditional and innovative style. They all feature a cream-white parquet floor, a flat screen TV and marble bathrooms. The stuccoed ceilings and the Neo-classic style furnishings are quite remarkable. On top of that, you will notice an extra special touch: in the paintings by Jouy, you will identify some golfers! Some rooms come with a fireplace, others feature beamed ceilings and boast a great view either on the golf course or on the charming courtyard. In other words, thanks to the upscale Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf, a new star shines in the sky of Lake Garda.

22.08. — green fee per player: FLASH SALES 18 Holes HOTEL GUEST ONLY GARDA HOTEL (10:00)
We are south of Lake Garda, on lands where the Second War of Independence was fought in 1859 between the Franco-Sardinian and Austrian armies. The only battles being fought here today are fortunately the personal ones with one’s golf game, and without too many frustrations nonetheless: this is a course where even players with high handicaps can enjoy themselves (the holes have five tee boxes to adapt the course to all levels) and where you don’t have to spend a lot of time looking for your ball because it’s always in plain sight (unless it ends up in one of the many water hazards!). Before going to play, climb the travertine and wrought iron stairs leading to the top floor of the bright clubhouse. Go out on the terrace where the panorama sweeps 360-degrees over the courses and the 110 hectares of property. From here, you have the best overview of the four 9-hole courses designed by German architect Kurt Rossknecht in 2008. The 18 classical competition holes are those of the Benaco – with a memorable Hole 5, a par 3 of 180 meters almost completely taken up by the lake – combined with those of the Solferino; the 9 holes of both courses are spectacular, sharing the same lake and the same immense putting green onto which the clubhouse windows look. The San Martino course is also beautiful, a rather long par 35 with many water hazards. Test your short game and try the Pozzolengo course, with its 9 executive holes that are varied and entertaining. Technical Details Course Benaco/Solferino: 9 holes, Par 36, 3427 meters. Course San Martino: 9 holes, Par 35, 2910 meters Course Pozzolengo: 9 holes, Par 27, 1025 meters Architect: Kurt Rossknecht Topography: somewhere flat, somewhere hilly; a lot of water hazards. Distinctive features: Every golf player will find here his ideal situation. Pro’s Comments The Golf Chervò – San Vigilio can be best defined as “universal”: challenging for pros and amateurs with low handicaps, fun for medium-high handicaps; congratulations to the designer who intuited his client’s needs, that is, for building a splendid “tourist” course. Don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s easy; it is rather long, with large greens and cross bunkers that are difficult to get over. Fun guaranteed for all. Try it.
