Golf
Chervo Golf San Vigilio at Pozzolengo is a 5 minute drive away. Designed by the German architect Kurt Rossknecht who, after his numerous projects in Europe and South Africa, took on the challenge of constructing his first golf course in Italy, making the best possible use of the natural and historical wealth of the Abbey of San Vigilio. Having an expanse of 110 acres to work with, Rossknecht developed a 27 hole executive course with another 9 holes, creating a circuit that perfectly interprets the original characteristics of the plot. With a maximum extension of 6775 metres from the "Gold Championship tees and 5070 meters from the" Ladies' tees, with another three intermediate teeing areas, the course is capable of offering a tough challenge for more experienced players, yet a thoroughly enjoyable circuit for beginners.

The holiday was very enjoyable, with excellent weather all week. The quality of your apartment was an added bonus, and will always be recommended. R Evans, May 06.
Thank you for a fabulous few days. The accommodation is to a very high standard and there's lots to do in the surrounding area. It's hard to fit everything in! The Golden family - Aug 09.
Just wanted to say we had a fantastic time in Italy & one of the main reasons was the accommodation. You provide a very professional service using a kind & sensitive approach in many ways like a friend. So it was our pleasure to stay at your house. The Dawson family Jul 10
