Lorenzo and I first connected online while discussing the dream of a truly unique pickleball vacation in Europe. I shared my vision of a resort that had all the amenities on site—no need to shuttle between hotels and courts—something immersive and hassle-free. It was important that the location wasn’t just any island, but a special place steeped in culture and charm.

About six months later, Lorenzo reached out to tell me about the Green Garden Resort in Italy, a remarkable property with on-site pickleball, tennis, and padel courts, plus beach volleyball, soccer fields, and basketball hoops. Excited, we teamed up to bring this vision to life. I made a trip to the resort, met Lorenzo in person, and trained guests arranged by the resort owner.

What we offer now is a once-in-a-lifetime vacation for pickleball enthusiasts who want to combine their passion for the game with the joy of exploring Italy—a place where sport meets la dolce vita.
