Golf Club Parco de Medici
Only a short drive from central Rome and well connected to the city's main routes
Only a short drive from central Rome and well connected to the city's main routes, Parco de' Medici is one of the capital's most practical golf addresses. Its 27-hole layout offers welcome variety and makes the club attractive both to regular players and to business travelers looking to carve out half a day of sport without leaving Rome's operational core. The setting does not aim for the theatrical romance of Lazio's older historic clubs; instead, it focuses on width, order, pace of play and logistical ease. That combination makes it particularly well suited to events, corporate hospitality and international guests who value reliability as much as ambiance. For a demanding traveler, the real luxury here is efficiency: the ability to play a substantial golf round in Rome while keeping hotel, meetings and city commitments comfortably within reach. It is an address that works best when seen as a smart Roman golf solution rather than a remote escape.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Villa Doria Pamphilj: l'Alba dell'Aristocrazia
Villa Doria Pamphilj is Rome's largest private villa: 184 hectares with the Casino del Bel Respiro of 1644-1652 — one of the purest examples of Roman Baroque. The park opens at 6:30 AM and at first light is completely deserted: only solitary Roman joggers, the Pamphilj fountains, and the raking dawn light on the umbrella pines.
“The Casino del Bel Respiro custodian opens the piano nobile rooms on the first Thursday of the month at 7:00 AM: frescoes by Francesco Allegrini and Pier Francesco Mola still with their original 1652 colours, without tourists and without tickets.”
Falesco: Montiano Merlot del Lazio
Falesco's Montiano is the Italian Merlot that convinced French critics: Riccardo Cotarella vinifies it on Lazio volcanic soil at Montefiascone, and the result is a Merlot with Pomerol structure and violet and black spice aromas. The private vertical from 1993 — the first vintage — is held in the volcanic tufa cellar at Civitella d'Agliano.
“Riccardo Cotarella explains how the Bordeaux critics believed the 1997 Montiano was a Pomerol in blind tasting: he keeps the original tasting note as a trophy. He opens it and reads it to guests before pouring the wine.”
QC Terme Roma: i Bagni Imperiali
QC Terme Roma has restored the Imperial Roman baths beneath Piazza del Popolo: the 1st-3rd century pools are integrated into a modern 3,000 sq metre thermal circuit. The circuit includes a sauna carved into the original tufa rock from the excavations and a heated pool with water from the Imperial spring that fed the Baths of Agrippa in 25 BC.
“The Notte Imperiale circuit — from 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM — opens the original Roman pool room with torch lighting: only 8 guests at a time. Director Marco Bianchi explains how the Romans used baths as a social forum, not merely a wash.”
Galeria Antica — Il Borgo Fantasma della Campagna Romana
Abandoned in 1809 by Napoleonic decree, Galeria Antica survives as a stone ghost in the scrubland northwest of Rome. Its empty lanes, deconsecrated church, and eroded doorways tell of centuries of peasant and noble life swallowed by silence. Few Romans know this place; fewer still venture inside its walls.
“Come at dawn: the morning mist wrapping the towers creates an atmosphere no guidebook could ever capture.”
Villa Giulia — Il Segreto degli Etruschi
Hidden among the pines of Villa Borghese, Pope Julius III's sixteenth-century villa holds the world's greatest Etruscan museum. The Sarcophagus of the Spouses from Cerveteri — two figures reclining in eternal embrace — is one of antiquity's most quietly devastating masterpieces. The cortile with its nymphaeum and silent gardens offer a stillness almost impossible to find elsewhere in Rome.
“Arrive on a weekday late afternoon: the near-empty rooms restore the sense of private discovery that mass tourism has erased everywhere else.”
