Golf Club Centanni
A compact Florence-hills golf stop where short game, wellness and easy city access create a soft Tuscan stay
Golf Club Centanni is a very specific kind of Florence-area golf stop: compact, relaxed and much more about practice, short-game rhythm and countryside downtime than about championship scale. The nine-hole course sits in the Bagno a Ripoli hills with a resort-like footprint that mixes golf, wellness and easy access to the city.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Fonte della Fata Morgana — Giardino manierista nascosto
Fonte della Fata Morgana is a small sixteenth-century Mannerist folly hidden in the hills of Grassina, and it is exactly the kind of stop that suits Centanni: intimate, strange and local rather than monumental. It gives the day a precise cultural memory without dragging it into the overload of central Florence.
“Treat it as a 20-minute stop, not a destination. Its charm lies in surprise and scale, not in duration.”
Abbazia di Rosano — Pietra, ulivi e silenzio sull'Arno
Rosano is the quietest spiritual detour that suits Centanni better than Florence itself: the abbey, Romanesque stone, olive slopes and the slow logic of the Arno valley. It is where the day truly catches its breath after a practice-oriented round.
“Drive out in the later afternoon and do not add another stop afterward. Rosano works through tapering off, not through stacking attractions.”
Bagno a Ripoli — Tavola toscana di collina
The right table move after Centanni is not central Florence but a Tuscan hillside table around Bagno a Ripoli: grill, vegetables, fresh olive oil and a red wine that stays measured. It lets the day remain local and soft-edged without the logistical weight of the city.
“Book early and keep the meal regional and simple. This part of Tuscany punishes over-ordering far more than it rewards it after golf.”
Pieve di San Romolo a Gaville — Romanico nel silenzio del Valdarno
Tucked among the fields of the lower Valdarno, this 11th-century parish church survives almost untouched — sandstone facade, bare interior, the smell of candle wax and old stone. No tourist signs, no buses: only those who seek it find it. A place that recalls what devotion was before it became spectacle.
“The raking late-afternoon light on the facade around 5:30 p.m. in summer turns the stone to ancient gold.”
Foresta di Vallombrosa — Le faggete che Milton ricordava
One of the oldest managed forests in Europe, where centuries-old beeches filter the light into a cool green half-darkness even in August. Milton visited in 1638 and immortalized it in Paradise Lost; today it is a biogenetic reserve where the undergrowth smells of moss and Florence feels very far away. Walking here is an act of physical decompression.
“Take CAI trail 10 past the abbey toward Secchieta: twenty minutes on foot and you are alone in the complete silence of the beeches.”
