News: results and pictures

ITASLIA 2008 is the 3rd edition of the Italian ASL Open Tournament, last year 20 players battled for 5 gruelling rounds and Alan Smee (Australia) was crowned as the winner. More people are coming this year; will be Alan from the land of Oz be able to defend his title or will some other travelling foreigner take home the plaque along the ITASLIA’s tradition?

ASL players don't usually have much time for sightseeing, but their families do. The Hotel is situated at the outskirts of Verona and keeps a private bus service in and out of the city, Verona and the vicinity suit perfectly for a 3-days sightseeing tour, but if you are in a hurry in a 50 Km radius you get Mantua, Brescia and Vicenza, at 80 Km you got Modena, Trent and Padua at 100 Km you got Venice and Bologna. All these cities can be reached easily by motorway or by train (being Verona a communication node every single road and railway in north Italy starts or finish here).
If you are not interested in historical sites you can sunbath at, windsurf over and swim into Garda Lake which is just a short ride away as well as the international Fun Park: Gardaland.

The Hotel itself has a private SPA and an indoor and two outdoors swimming pools, beauty farm, beauty center and fitness center, you will be more than able to relax and regain your mental strength between one match and the other.
