Pit your team’s skills against those of local teams on a school rugby tour to Venice. The Veneto is part of Italy’s rugby heartland, so you can be sure of a real test when taking on local opposition.
School Rugby Tour to Venice
Your team will love the experience of combining rugby with the rich history and culture of Venice, as well as the incredible cuisine.
As the heartland of Italian rugby, friendly fixtures against local teams will be a real highlight of the tour. You'll stay in the fantastic Bella Italia Village, which gives you the chance to combine training on the golden sandy beaches of Lignano Sabbiadoro with the opportunity to explore the historic floating city of Venice.

Accommodation
Bella Italia Village
Located in Lignano Sabbiadoro, just an hour away from Venice, the Bella Italia Village offers 7 different accommodations for school groups across the sprawling coastal resort. Each residence has its own reception, as well as spacious main halls and coach parking. With a large, self-service restaurant, waterpark and an easily accessible, private beach, Bella Italia village has everything required to keep groups happy and entertained.
Each residence has its own reception where groups go directly to check in. These have spacious main halls, and there is also parking for coaches directly outside the entrance. Rooms are spacious, and all boast en-suite bathroom facilities and a TV.
Crucially for music groups, there is also the opportunity to use the large rehearsal rooms, and there are also storage rooms in which to keep instruments – all making the logistics of a school music tour that much easier.
The Village also has an indoor Olympic-sized swimming pool, as well as a smaller swimming pool for training. There’s one full-sized football pitch with synthetic grass, as well as three five-a-side football and handball pitches. There are four basketball and volleyball courts, one tennis court and two outdoor swimming pools. Plus, there is a fully-equipped gym and even a waterpark. There's even a privately owned beach where groups can enjoy the exclusive use of the sunloungers and parasols.
Activities are regularly organised at the central bar, including dancing and disco nights, where all the visiting youth groups can enjoy the lively, social atmosphere.
The Village is definitely a little gem, with plenty of space, activities and facilities to keep your group happy on tour.
