Castello di Spessa is a magnificent manor (XIII Ct.) laying in the very heart of Friulian Collio, an enchanting hilly area covered in vineyards in Friuli Venezia Giulia (north-eastern Italy), on the border with Slovenia and Austria. The particular position makes also possible to play during the cold season. The path goes across different landscapes, which contributes so much to modelling the fairway that players have the impression they are playing in three different greens. Driving range has a view on the Castle.
