The Italian Tourist board has launched a campaign to promote golf holidays in the country, it has been revealed, something that may interest those thinking of investing in Italy property.

"Golf & More" is a campaign aimed at promoting the game and the possibilities open to visitors to enjoy it in the regions of Liguria, Tuscany, Sardinia, Sicily, Bolzano and Friuli Venezia Giulia, Golf North East reports.

Writing about the venues, the publication stated that Friuli Venezia Giulia is well suited to small groups and is a region with both Alpine and coastal scenery, while the golf resorts in the Lignano, Grado and Marano areas are all well equipped for tourists’ needs.

The report added that the clubs at Lignano and Grado have particularly challenging courses.

Italy property seekers interested in renting to tourists were given a boost in November when the Daily Telegraph Travel Awards 2008 listed it as the favourite European destination.
