The name was hyphenated as Friuli Venezia Giulia until 2001. The region is called “Friûl Vignesie Julie” in Friulian and “Furlanija Julijska krajina” in Slovenian, two languages spoken in the region. The city of Venice (“Venezia”), despite its name, is not located in this region. Friuli Venezia Giulia has a surface area of 7,924 km2 and about 1.2 million inhabitants. As a natural opening to the sea for many Central European countries, the region is crossed by the most important traffic routes between the east and west of Southern Europe. It comprises the historical geographical region of Friuli and a small part of the historical region of Venezia Giulia – also known in English as the Julian Marche – each with its own history, tradition and identity. The region in the north-eastern part of Italy borders on Slovenia and is also a very popular holiday destination, especially because of its beaches on the Adriatic Sea. Lignano, Grado and the enchanting harbour town of Trieste keep on attracting more and more visitors. The partly hilly hinterland is also worth a visit. In recent years, Friuli Venezia Giulia has become a golf destination. The golf clubs Grado and Lignano are now well-known among sporty ambitious golfers. This is especially due to their extraordinary location: both are situated on a peninsula that reaches into the Adriatic Sea. A golf holiday in Friuli-Venezia Giulia is also recommended inland. The golf club Castello di Spessa and Tarvisio deserve special mention. After a day on the golf course or on the beach, a cosy evening in the wellness area is particularly relaxing. Afterwards, you can enjoy an excellent dinner with local delicacies. You can experience all this at your golf hotel in Friuli-Venezia Giulia where you will find attention to quality and willingness to attend to guests’ needs.

Golf & Country Club Castello di Spessa

14.10. — green fee per player: Green Fee 18 Holes (10:00)
Playing golf amidst the vineyards of the Collio area in Friuli: this is what happens if you choose this club as destination in its strategic position on the borders with Austria and Slovenia, in a region renowned for its superb wines. Wandering through the vineyards of the Spessa Castle is exactly where we find the 18 holes of this tortuous course, opened in 2004, which offers panoramas with strikingly different and individual features. The strongest players would do best to leave their drivers in their golf bags, and to study a more prudent strategy for approaching the green. There are differences in level between tee and fairway or between fairway and green that can prove truly challenging. The enormous appeal of the resort becomes even more intriguing when we discover that the rooms of the castle in 1773 provided hospitality to Giacomo Casanova, the universally renowned Venetian writer and adventurer, and for whom the international literary award was named which each summer since 2003 has awarded authors of the finest literature inspired by the values of liberty, tolerance and openness to other cultures. A toast in the cellars used for aging wine right beneath the castle, the oldest of the Collio area, is another experience to indulge in. The clubhouse – whose windows overlook the practice course offering a view of the majestic castle, with origins dating back to 1200 – is located on the upper floor of the Hosteria, one of the resort’s restaurants, where players may enjoy the reassuring comfort of a platter of cold cuts and local cheeses at the end of a match, washed down with fine wine. Technical Details Course : 18 holes, Par 71, 5.540 m Architect : Giacomo Cabrini Topography : strategic position bordering Slovenia and Austria Special Features : the individual holes are significantly different from each other
