Wine Resort la Ghirlanda

After spending several holidays in Tuscany we decided to give Umbria a go and La Ghrilanda looked like a perfect fit for a quiet trip. We found it to be a very quiet place with within relatively easy driving distance to other towns and villages. There were few sounds other than nature itself to interfere with your time. We booked a room in a separate building made up of two units that quite what we'd expected as it was rather small with little place to set our luggage and still move around. After three nights and visiting most of the surrounding towns ~ Spello, Spoleto, Assisi, Perugia, Deruta, Montefalco, Foligno and a few others decided to move on even though we had paid for seven days. I think that if we'd stayed in the main building we might have stayed longer but it all worked out well. We did not get back any of our money as we checked out early of our own accord which is understandable. All the staff were very personable and helpful with any requests from check in to departure. The atmosphere is very casual which makes for a comfortable stay. The breakfasts were really good with a wide selection of foods ~ no need to go hungry at all! The evening meals which needed to be reserved ahead of time were exceptional. Probably the best, truly Italian meal, I've ever had and the service again, was really great. The grounds are well kept but you know you are in the country which is to be expected as it is an agriturisomo. Would I stay again ~ yes, but as mentioned, it would have to be a room in the main building.

La Ghirlanda captures the essence of Umbria in full! Great food and wine, feeling of hospitality, beautiful grounds, tastefully decorated common areas and rooms and views of the rolling fields, vineyards and olive groves like it’s out of a Tuscan … sorry Umbrian postcard. Enjoy a dinner there, at least once, all their produce comes from their estate. It was our first time in Umbria so we wanted to see and taste as many different places as possible, however during our next visit we will have dinner there more times. A big thank you to all the staff as the service was really good and a special reference to Iuliana who attended to every request with a smile! We will return.
