There’s no shortage of scenic stays in Rome. Ancient landmarks dot the cityscape and beyond them rolling Italian vineyards as far as the eye can see. It’s a singularly beautiful corner of the planet, and Marco Simone Golf & Country Club just so happens to call it home.

If you’re trying to catch a little afternoon nap, things might get a bit noisy, but otherwise the suite is loaded with amenities, from complimentary champagne to mini Ryder Cup replicas to a balcony offering uninterrupted views of the action.

That equates to roughly $3,000 USD. That’s not chump change, but it seems like a steal to us.
