UNA Poggio Dei Medici Golf Resort Florence Tuscany

Mugello - Florence - Tuscany - Italy

Twenty five kilometres north of Florence, UNA Poggio dei Medici Golf & Resort lies in a land rich in slpendid scenery and art treasures, the Mugello - famous for hosting Ferrari privately owned race track - and a short trip away from cultural sightseeing in Siena, San Gimignano and Scarperia. Poggio dei Medici is run by UNA Hotels & Resorts, a dynamic Italian hotel chain featuring eighteen properties strategically located across Italy.

The dramatic profile of the resort ancient buildings rise above the golf course in the middle of the Tuscan countryside. The Villa di Cignano is the heart of UNA Poggio dei Medici. This XVI century stately home is surrounded by six farmhouses which have been stylishly restructured to host seventy elegant rooms, equipped with all comfort and furnished in typical Tuscan style with terracotta floors, wooden rafters, luxurious fabrics and antique ceramics. They also boast a private balcony or terrace with splendid views of the countryside and direct access to the golf course.

At UNA Restaurant, guests will enjoy a superb menu of typical regional recipes, all made with seasonal products and accompanied by a list of carefully selected wines from the well supplied cellars - Tuscany is home to the Chianti vineyards. The restaurant also has a veranda for alfresco dining and Renaissance banquets that can be organised on request.

Leisure and wellness facilities at the resort include two saltwater swimming pools, one with hydro massage and both heated during spring and autumn, as well as a Fitness & Wellness Centre with Turkish bath, facial and body treatments. Finally, there are 4 meeting rooms with the latest technology and accommodating up to 220 delegates, making UNA Poggio dei Medici a perfect venue for business, leisure and cultural trips alike as well as golfing escapes - The resort offers a golf package including seven nights accommodation, four green fees and three gourmet dinners.

Built according to USGA standards and venue of LPGA Ladies Italian Open since 1999, the championship golf course at UNA Poggio dei Medici is one of the most renowned in Italy. The comfortable and elegant Clubhouse is open to players and guests alike. UNA Poggio Dei Medici Golf & Resort is part of the “Golfing in Florence” programme, a co-operation between Florence's three clubs, Ugolino, Le Pavoniere and Poggio dei Medici, all differing in tradition, location and technical features but united in this great project mixing golf and tourism.
