The Golf Train

Starting October 2025, La Dolce Vita Orient Express unveils two extraordinary itineraries dedicated to golf connoisseurs, where the elegance of slow travel meets the thrill of playing on Italy’s most iconic courses.

The Northern Greens route begins at the prestigious Marco Simone Golf Club in Rome—home of the 2023 Ryder Cup, then ascends through the refined beauty of northern and central Italy. Play the vineyard-framed fairways of Franciacorta near Brescia, the alpine elegance of Royal Park I Roveri in Turin, the sculpted hills of Antognolla in Umbria, or the thermal serenity of Terme di Saturnia in Tuscany.

The second route, Italian Swing, leads you southward. Starting from Marco Simone, it reaches the sunlit greens of San Domenico in Puglia, continuing its journey towards the Tuscan countryside of Castiglion del Bosco to end the itinerary at the Argentario Golf.

The train becomes your private retreat, where every detail is curated, every course a new chapter, and every view a moving canvas of Italian beauty.

Each day brings a new discovery on the green, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and followed by indulgent moments of relaxation at the Club House. And for those not playing, bespoke experiences in art, wellness, and local culture ensure an unforgettable journey for everyone.
