Just 12 kilometres from the heart of Siena, La Bagnaia Golf & Spa Resort occupies a painstakingly restored medieval borgo set among rolling Tuscan hills. The 100 bedrooms and suites across the estate blend terracotta floors, warm regional colours and antique furnishings with modern comforts including free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and flat-screen TVs. Views extend across the golf course, countryside and city skyline, and the resort’s proximity to Siena, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and the Chianti and Val d’Orcia wine regions means there is no shortage of ways to spend time away from the fairways.
The Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed course — voted Italy’s Best Golf Course at the World Golf Awards in 2023 — spans 130 hectares and 6,600 yards of inland links-style terrain. Gently rolling hills, challenging bunkers, small greens and scattered lakes demand accuracy and patience; it is the kind of layout that improves on repeated acquaintance. The Royal Golf La Bagnaia Academy adds a 300-metre driving range and putting greens for those wanting to work on their game during an Italy golf break.
Two restaurants and two bars, a seasonal outdoor pool, spa and fitness room round out an estate that feels genuinely complete. Breakfast is complimentary, making this a particularly well-appointed base for a Tuscany golf holiday.
