 Guests of the hotel get discounts on the green fee of the
nearby Ugolino Golf Club. Just a short distance from the centre of Florence, is
the oldest in Tuscany and one of the most ancient in Italy. Is a natural 18 holes,
par 72 course, which was designed and built in 1934 in the
Chianti hills and it exploits at best the natural characteristics of
the Tuscan landscape: the cypress trees and olive trees, the slopes
that curve and follow the magnificent scenery, the small greens
which are often very well-defended.

 Firenze, capital of the region of Tuscany,
is a spectacular and historic city,
interspersed with many famous art galleries and churches.
Birthplace of the
Renaissance, an amazing outburst of activity from the 14th to the
16th century that completely changed the Tuscan town and the world.
Under the benevolent eye (and purse) of the Medicis, Florence
blossomed into an unrivalled repository of art and architectural
treasures by geniuses such as Botticelli, Brunelleschi, Cellini,
Donatello, Fra Angelico, Ghiberti, Giotto, Leonardo, Michelangelo,
and Raphael. Since the 19th century, it has been visited by millions
wanting to see Michelangelo's David, Botticelli's Birth of Venus,
Brunelleschi's dome on the Duomo, and Giotto's campanile (bell
tower). |

Many famous museums
and historic buildings, including the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery and the Academy of
Fine Arts, as well as exhibition and conference centres, are all within easy
walking distance. |
