Antognolla SpA

What Antognolla SpA does

Antognolla SpA (Antognolla S.p.A.) is a privately-held Italian corporation that operates an integrated luxury hospitality, golf, and branded-residential estate on a 540-hectare property in northern Umbria, near Perugia. The business is anchored by a 12th-century castle, an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. (redesigned by him in 2018), the La Boiola artisanal restaurant, a 71-room country resort currently under phased development, and 17 branded villas and apartments designed by Woods Bagot with interiors by A2Zen under LEED-certified construction principles. The company also runs a golf academy, pro shop, memberships, a dedicated events business (corporate retreats, weddings up to 200 guests in a Grand Event Marquee), an 8-hectare vineyard partnership with enologist Riccardo Cotarella producing two wine labels targeting first commercial vintage in 2027, and estate-produced Dolce Agogia extra virgin olive oil.

The company makes money through six distinct revenue streams: luxury resort accommodation (room rentals across the 71-room castle and settlement complex, currently in pre-opening ramp), golf operations (green fees, annual memberships, academy lessons, pro shop sales, tournament entry), restaurant covers at La Boiola, branded residence sales (turnkey villas and flats sold to international buyers with integrated hotel services), bespoke events and weddings, and estate wines and olive oil (commercial from 2027 onward). The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with enquiry-driven booking across the website, dedicated phone and email lines for each department, a UK-based residential enquiries line for international property buyers, restaurant reservations via The Fork platform, and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) plus email newsletter and SEO. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through inquiry-based bespoke quotes.

The customer base spans five primary segments: affluent leisure travelers seeking Mediterranean countryside experiences, golf enthusiasts (members, daily fee players, international golf tourists), luxury property buyers (international HNW individuals and families), corporate event planners, and wedding/celebration planners. Tournament-level relationships with the PGA Italian Championship, International Alps Tour, and Italian Golf Federation provide recurring event demand. Legal headquarters are in Milan (via Chiaravalle 7, 20122) with operational headquarters at the estate in Perugia, and share capital is stated as 12,395,878 EUR fully paid up.
