Fresh off the opening of its new resort in Cyprus, one of the golf world’s best-known management companies now aims to build a similar resort in Italy.
Palmerston Hotels & Resorts plans to build Santa Teresa Golf Resort & Spa on a 550-acre parcel near the northern coast of Sardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean. The resort will feature 150 villas, a 147-room hotel, a pair of restaurants, meeting space, a wellness spa, a private helipad, and an 18-hole golf course.
The project’s first phase -– consisting of some villas, the hotel, and the golf course –- is scheduled to break ground in late 2010.
Palmerston is led by Dieter Klostermann, the chairman of CCA International, Ltd. The company owns Palmerston Golf Resort in Woodham Village, England, which features an 18-hole golf course designed by James Hamilton Stutt, and just weeks ago it opened Elea Golf & Spa Resort near Paphos in Cyprus. Elea features a golf course designed by Nick Faldo as well as 200 villas, a resort village, a boutique hotel, and a spa.
These days, the company has one other golf project in the works in Italy, a sports-oriented resort near Florence. Castello di Sammezzano, as it’s known, will also have apartments, a boutique hotel, and a spa.
Hong Kong-based Palmerston also hopes to develop a resort on one of the islands in the Jardines del Rey chain of Cuba. Cayo Coco will have two 18-hole “championship” courses, one of them by Faldo.
