A golf trip for foodies
Masseria San Domenico in Puglia, Italy (above), combines an excellent golf course with a restaurant "aiming for a Michelin star", says the Daily Mail. The San Domenico restaurant uses the best local produce, including olives from the hotel's own groves, to create fantastic dishes.
The resort's par 72, 18-hole course is world-famous and located on the coast surrounded by farmland and the rocky coastline. For non-golfing guests there is a spa offering massages and facials focused on "harnessing the benefits of sea water and mineral-rich seaweed", says the Daily Mail. This is a peaceful resort whose range of activities and fantastic restaurant mean non-golfing partners will enjoy a visit every bit as much as the golf-mad.
