Program of the Day
Your journey begins with a private transfer from your hotel or the airport to the La Dolce Vita lounge at Rome Ostiense, offering a calm, refined space to relax and prepare for your journey. In the evening, the train departs from Rome, and you settle into your private cabin, letting the Italian countryside drift past your window. Dinner is served in the Restaurant Car, crafted by three-Michelin-starred Chef Heinz Beck, offering a first taste of the culinary excellence to come.
After dinner, enjoy live music performed by a pianist and vocalist, setting a warm, elegant atmosphere as the train glides toward the first Golf Course.
The second day begins as dawn bathes the southern Italian landscape in golden light, with the train gliding gracefully toward Apulia. On board, a breakfast of understated luxury awaits.
Your destination is the San Domenico Golf Club in Fasano, a spectacular links-style course overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Here, the game unfolds in perfect rhythm with the Mediterranean surroundings. Each hole a fusion of sport, coastal charm, and natural beauty.
After a rewarding day on the green, you’ll return to the refined comfort of La Dolce Vita Orient Express. The evening begins with a gourmet dinner, where distinctive flavors and handpicked wines come together in seamless accord.
As night falls, the Bar Car stirs to life with live music and intimate conversation. The train glides onward into the heart of the Italian South, wrapping you in the timeless magic of the journey and the soulful warmth of discovery.
Your third day unfolds in the heart of authentic Tuscany, at the prestigious The Club at Castiglion del Bosco. Set amid the rolling hills of the UNESCO-listed Val d’Orcia, this private course meanders through manicured vineyards, ancient woodlands, and sweeping vistas.
The course strikes a masterful balance between sporting challenge and full immersion in the Tuscan countryside.
Following your round, you’ll return to the refined comfort of La Dolce Vita Orient Express. The evening begins with a dinner by three-Michelin-starred chef Heinz Beck, who brings a contemporary touch to the authentic flavors of Tuscan tradition.
As night descends, the Bar Car glows with soft light and vibrant life—cocktails, live music, and warm conversation filling the air.
The fourth stop takes you to either the Antognolla Golf Club or the Argentario Golf Club, depending on the chosen date of departure. Both considered to be some of the most scenic and evocative courses in Italy. Playing here means concluding the journey just as it began, with elegance, intensity, and awe.
After your final round, your return to the train becomes a special moment, pampered by the impeccable service and refined atmosphere of La Dolce Vita Orient Express.
The gentle rhythm of the carriages through the Tuscan landscape, and the warm glow of the sunset will accompany your return to north towards Rome, where the train arrives at Roma Ostiense station. For those who purchase the ‘Southern Essence: The Golf Experience’ package, an additional night in Rome and one day at Marco Simone Golf Club are included.
