Sports tours to Italy

The sports facilities in northern Italy are outstanding, making it the perfect location to bring your team for hockey, rugby, football, volleyball, basketball and swimming. Two of our favourite bases are the Bella Italia in Lignano and the Veronello Resort by Lake Garda. We also recommend the elite level facilities at the Verona Rugby Academy – with dorm rooms on-site that can sleep up to 34 people and a training base even if you’re not on-site, the pitches and facilities are second to none. We will arrange sessions for your team to train and fixtures with local teams and clubs.  

This area of Italy also offers incredible places to visit within a short radius, including the historic cities of Venice, Verona and Modena. Lake Garda offers a beautiful backdrop to your training, as well as watersport and hiking experiences for your team. Your students can also get their thrills from a Pit-Stop Experience at the Ferrari Museum, the Aquasplash Waterpark and Gardaland amusement park.
