Discover the hidden gems of Salento, Puglia, one of Italy's most enchanting and undiscovered regions, with a 5-night stay at a luxurious boutique hotel in a centuries-old Palazzo in the heart of Nardo. This charming baroque, historic town captures the unspoiled beauty of southern Italy, providing an idyllic retreat for two in an elegant and intimate setting.

Puglia, often called Italy's "undiscovered gem," remains blissfully untouched by mass tourism, offering an authentic experience of Italian life. Here, you'll find breathtaking coastal landscapes with turquoise waters, amazing beach clubs, ancient towns brimming with history, and world-class cuisine without the crowds.

At the Palazzo, you'll stay in elegant accommodations showcasing timeless Italian craftsmanship and antique frescoes, thoughtfully complemented by the owner's unique art collections. The owners, a world-renowned Parisian chef and his wife, an avid art collector, warmly share their passion for art with guests through their thoughtfully curated collection displayed throughout the property.

Each morning begins with a daily breakfast featuring the freshest local ingredients and flavors that define the region. One evening, savor a chef-prepared dinner at a renowned local restaurant, where you'll indulge in the culinary artistry of Puglia with dishes inspired by generations of tradition and paired with an exquisite regional wine.

Ernie Els is coming to town and wants to meet you! Be one of only twenty foursomes at the 10th Annual Princess Anne Country Club Pro-Am to Benefit the Els for Autism Foundation. The Tournament will be held on October 18-19, 2026. This years tournament also includes a Live Acoustic Performance by Country Music Artist George Birge during Sunday evening's Pro Auction.

Auction item includes a foursome at the event. Please note, winning bidders must participate in pro auction on Sunday, October 18 with a minimum bid of $500.

In March 2015, two dads met while enjoying golf at the Bear's Club in Florida and bonded over a disorder that their sons shared. Little did they know that this bond would turn the most unlikely of acquaintances (a professional golfer and a Navy SEAL) into fast friends. Fast forward to 2016 and Ernie Els is attending the retirement party of his Navy SEAL friend Steve "Dutch" Van Horn. It was at that party (and after several libations) that Dutch's friends decided they could do more to support the autism and Navy SEAL communities. The next summer (with less than four months of planning), the first Princess Anne Pro-Am Invitational to benefit the Els for Autism Foundation took place at the Princess Anne Country Club in Virginia Beach, VA. What the small group of friends thought would be a fun weekend spawned a, now annual, event that brings together professional athletes, autism advocacy and support organizations, corporations, golf enthusiasts and friends to give back. To date, the event has raised more than $1,000,000 and welcomed current and former PGA touring professionals Ernie Els, Marc Leishman, Carl Paulson, Doug Barron, Brett Quigley, Frank Lickliter, Tom Gillis, Stuart Appleby, Robert Allenby, John Senden as well as "Big Break" winner Jay Woodson and long drive champion Paul "Chewy" Howell.
