Discover Forte Village: A Sports Paradise in Italy

A Unique Getaway at Forte Village

When you think of Italy, visions of historic cities, picturesque beaches, and rich culture often come to mind. However, Forte Village Sardinia offers something quite different, where guests can indulge in relaxation while also training in sports with Olympic athletes and professional coaches.

Unique Sports Experiences

I didn’t travel to Italy just for relaxation; I was eager to learn pickleball, a sport that’s rapidly gaining popularity. Under the Mediterranean sun, I practiced with a Russian coach. The training sessions not only honed my skills but also brought an exhilarating thrill each time the ball came my way.

The lessons were intense, with no long breaks, but that only fueled my excitement even more. Some may think it’s unnecessary to fly all the way to Italy just to learn a new sport, but Forte Village turns this into a perfectly reasonable experience by combining relaxation with training.

Fresh Activities During Your Stay

At Forte Village, you can engage in various activities beyond pickleball. In my free time, I joined a pizza-making class, savored local wines, strolled along the beach, and swam in the crystal-clear waters. The scenery here feels like a European summer vacation, where everyone learns and challenges themselves together.

What’s special about Forte Village is that the classes are reasonably priced, starting at around €80 (approximately 2 million VND) for a group lesson, and going up to €1,050 (about 27 million VND) for intensive courses. Specifically, a one-hour pickleball lesson costs €110 (around 2.8 million VND), or you can opt for a 5-day course for €700 (about 18 million VND).

High-Quality Instruction

At Forte Village, you’ll learn from world-class athletes. The classes are not merely recreational; they are taught by seasoned professionals from various sports fields. This allows both children and adults to learn from the best in the industry.

A Family-Friendly Destination

Forte Village doesn’t just attract adults; it’s a paradise for kids as well. Spanning 123 acres, the resort offers a range of activities, including sports, arts, and childcare programs, allowing parents to enjoy some downtime while their children engage in fun activities.

Kids can move freely between classes while parents sip cocktails by the beach or relax at the spa. Forte Village provides a variety of accommodations, from luxury hotels to private villas, catering to the needs of families.

Spa and Thalassotherapy Experience

After a tiring workout, I made my way to the Forte Village spa, renowned for its thalassotherapy services. This treatment, developed 25 years ago, helps detoxify the body and restore health through pools filled with seawater and natural minerals.

This relaxing experience not only rejuvenated me but also provided a fantastic opportunity to meet other travelers. There, I chatted with a group of Albanian women who were thoroughly enjoying this famous Spa treatment and the health benefits it offers.

Exploring Sardinia

While Forte Village is captivating, Sardinia has much more to discover. One of the locals' favorite beaches is Spiaggia di Tuerredda. This beach requires reservations due to limited access, and the staff at the resort were incredibly friendly in helping me secure a spot.

Upon arriving at the beach, I had an amazing experience with the clear waters and soft white sand. It truly became an unforgettable memory of my trip to Sardinia.

Useful Information for Vietnamese Travelers

Visa: Vietnamese citizens need to apply for a Schengen visa to enter Italy before departure. The visa processing time usually takes from 15 to 30 days.

Estimated Costs: Flight costs from Vietnam to Italy range from 15 million to 25 million VND depending on the time and airline. Staying at Forte Village isn’t cheap either, but it’s worth it for the unique experiences it offers.

Forte Village is truly the perfect choice for sports lovers seeking new experiences during their vacation.
