Enjoy an exclusive, authentic golfing experience at the host for Italy’s 2023 Ryder Cup. Designed and built by golf course architect Jim Fazio, Marco Simone Golf & Country Club brings 18 holes of championship golf and a nine-hole Par-65 resort course to the heart of the Eternal City. Practice year-round on the first-class driving range, which features two terraces.

Experience the world of the gladiators who fought in the Colosseum 2,000 years ago. In the hotel’s private park, overlooking the Roman skyline, instructors from Rome’s Gladiatorial School teach ancient combat techniques and describe the life and times of the gladiators. Available on request to all guests over the age of seven, the course is a wonderful mix of sport and culture. A gladiator kit is included with traditional tunic, Roman sandals, belt, protective gloves, and wooden training sword, and on completion students are presented with a medal declaring them a ‘Tiro’, or first level gladiator.

Whether it’s a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, or a Maserati, Italy is synonymous with super-fast, super-luxurious cars. Drive the Italian car of your dreams with a specially crafted Italian super car “experience day” and luxury car rental.
