Golf and outlet shopping: where the two overlap

The closest pairing on the map: Emilia, 10 km

The shortest distance between a golf course and an outlet village on this whole site sits in Emilia & Bologna Hills: Castel Guelfo The Style Outlets is 10 km from Golf Club Le Fonti, the itinerary’s anchor. A second outlet, Perle di Faenza Lifestyle Village, sits 26 km out, giving the itinerary two shopping options inside a single day’s driving.

Rome’s cluster: three itineraries, four outlets

Lazio holds the densest concentration of outlets on the site, spread across three golf itineraries. From Castelli Romani, Castel Romano Designer Outlet is 14 km, Valmontone Outlet 25 km and Parco Commerciale Da Vinci, by Fiumicino airport, 26 km. From Rome North, Valmontone is 31 km, Castel Romano 32 km and Parco Commerciale Da Vinci 33 km, with a fourth option, Soratte Outlet Shopping, also at 32 km. Soratte is closer still from Tuscia, the Viterbo itinerary, at 19 km. A family splitting a Rome trip between fairways and shopping has more options here than anywhere else in the country.

Milan, Bergamo and the Piedmont wine roads

The north spreads its outlets one per itinerary rather than clustering them. Segrate Outlet Village is the closest to Milan & Monza, 14 km from Golf Club Milano, and a longer 34 km from Lake Como. Franciacorta Village sits 21 km from the Franciacorta itinerary’s anchor, in the same itinerary as the sparkling wine cellars. Vicolungo The Style Outlets is 20 km from Alto Piemonte & Lake Maggiore, Serravalle Designer Outlet is 33 km from Langhe & Monferrato, and Mantova Outlet Village is 39 km from Lake Garda & Valpolicella, the longest of the northern pairings.

Tuscany and Umbria share an outlet

Valdichiana Outlet Village is the one outlet on this site that serves two itineraries in two different regions. It sits 32 km from Umbria & Lake Trasimeno and 36 km from Val d’Orcia & Montalcino in Tuscany, close enough to work as the shopping stop for a trip that crosses the regional border between the two. Further north, Chianti & Florence has its own pair: The Mall Firenze at 19 km and Barberino Designer Outlet at 34 km.

The south and the islands

La Reggia Designer Outlet, outside Naples, is 26 km from the Campi Flegrei itinerary. In Sardinia, Sardinia Outlet Village sits 35 km from South Sardinia: Is Molas & Chia, the only golf-to-outlet pairing on the island.

The longest pairing: Euganean Hills, 44 km

At the far end of the range, Occhiobello Outlet Village sits 44 km from the Euganean Hills & Abano itinerary, still a manageable half-day round trip but the longest link between a golf itinerary and an outlet on this site. Treat it as an option for a full rest day rather than an afternoon in between rounds.
