Enter a world of timeless exclusivity
Our Sporting Club invites you to experience the enchantment of Lake Como
Inaugurated in 1965 with the first floating swimming pool on Lake Como, it has long been a symbol of elegance and exclusivity. From leisurely days by the pool to thrilling water sports, our wide range of activities offers unique experiences against the iconic backdrop of one of the world’s most beautiful lakes.
Prestigious gatherings in an exclusive setting
Over the years, the Sporting Club has had the honour of hosting a wide range of prestigious sports and social events, including renowned tennis tournaments, golf competitions and cultural occasions, all meticulously curated for our members.
Among the most exclusive initiatives, in 2024 the Club welcomed celebrated athletes such as Andreas Seppi and Martina Hingis, offering members the rare opportunity to play alongside true icons of the sporting world.
Each year, the Club also transforms into an elegant stage for private dinners and cocktail events, dedicated to members and designed to foster valuable networking and convivial moments.
Spaces for all your desires
The Sporting Club offers guests a wide range of activities dedicated to nurturing both body and spirit. Pools, sports courts, and relaxation areas coexist in perfect balance, shaping an active and timeless lifestyle.
Floating pool
For over thirty years, Villa d’Este’s floating pool has been a symbol of engineering excellence and natural harmony. Overlooking the Villa and connected to the shore by a wooden walkway, it holds up to 45,000 litres of water atop a teak-decked platform, encircled by a lacquered wood balustrade. An architectural gem suspended between beauty and innovation, it blends comfort, safety and timeless charm.
Gym
Open 24 hours a day and equipped with state-of-the-art machines, the fitness area offers a discreet and private environment in which to train with balance and continuity.
Tennis courts
Tennis finds its most elegant setting at Villa d’Este, surrounded by the scents and calm of the park. With eight courts (six in clay), our facilities host personalised coaching for adults and children, guided by internationally renowned Lux Tennis professionals.
Golf Club
Amid chestnut trees, birches and pines reminiscent of a Scottish heath, just 14 km from Villa d’Este lies a legendary golf course. Designed in 1926, this par-69 course is one of the most refined in Europe — where elegance plays out over eighteen holes of pure challenge and beauty. Nestled within a scenic park, the Club House welcomes players with unmatched service and atmosphere.
