Wine Resort La Ghirlanda

We booked a tour of the estate on horseback followed by wine tasting and what a wonderful experience this was. As they were a little delayed with setting up the horses, they offered us breakfast on the terrace, while we were waiting, offering a beautiful view of the valley. The tour was well over an hour and a half, going through various fields, with a mixture of olive groves and vineyards, going up and down hills with breathtaking views. After, our hostess, Eva took us to the winery per say where she explained their entire process from A to Z. Their winery is entirely organic, and operates as much as possible in "close circuit". We were then led to a small room where she handed us over to a charming young lady (the daughter of one of the owner/winemaker - shame on me for forgetting her name) and were invited to taste six of their wines along with serving of local cheeses and meats. The tasting itself must have lasted about a good hour, perhaps even more as we spent a total of 5 hours on their property. All the grapes they produce are indigenous from the region, including the famous Sagrantino. The whole experience was "one on one" with them as we were basically the only visitors. Even during high season, I suspect they only have very small groups (I don't think the tasting room can accommodate more than 6 people). Finally, as we were approaching 14:00, they made a reservation for us at a nearby restaurant. Highly, highly recommend it. P.S.: I can't comment on the room as we didn't stay at their hotel but we are planning on staying there the next time we are in the area.

Great place, amazing food and the staff are so nice. The rooms are fantastic and the pool is great for relaxing, reading and swimming. Would seriously recommend.

We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of September and booked a double room. The house is very well maintained and everything is in an old English style. The room was spacious and clean, but unfortunately it smelled musty, even after opening the the windows constantly. The mattress was too soft for my taste. The bathroom is tiny, about 1,5*3m, and could get a little makeover as there was some moult here and there. The pool is in a great location below the house with a view of the hilly landscape. The pool is 6*6m in size and is not heated, so the water was very fresh. The breakfast was very plentiful, very varied, with lots of fresh products. We were surprised that egg dishes were charged extra, e.g. €2 for a boiled egg. For dinner we always ate in the surrounding restaurants, as we didn't appreciated the menu on both evenings. The staff are extremely professional, friendly and helpful and speak good English. It is very quiet in the hotel and there is not much to do in the immediate area. Montefalco is about 25 minutes away. Thank you for your hospitality 👍
