La Ghirlanda Sketch

Karen's Review Of This Property:
La Ghirlanda

La Ghirlanda is an enchanting country home, glowing with warmth and color, charm and romance. The sprawling country estate home of Riccardo and Amalija who encourage you to make their house your home. From the hill top position, the rust-red stately home, originally the family hunting lodge, takes in sweeping views of the alternating wooded and cultivated landscapes, thankfully all theirs and therefore left unspoiled. The secluded pool area is an agreeable spot from which to literally breath in this inspiring scene. Each individually decorated bedroom has been thoughtfully appointed with antique pieces, fine linens and color coordinated fabrics. A cozy wine bar, dining room, library and sitting room with fireplaces are all open to guests and meals are enjoyed either within the golden hued dining room or out in the garden under the stars. Guests are offered freshly made totally Umbrian recipes accompanied by their own top-rated Sagrantino di Montefalco wine. Most ingredients come right from the farm, including meats, vegetables, fruits and of course, the extra virgin olive oil.

La Ghirlanda:
(show / hide)

We were the only people at La Ghirlanda on the first night and we were served a wonderful meal by a white gloved waiter, enjoyed their fabulous Sagrantino, and the food was the best we had in Italy. It was by far one of the most romantic meals we have had in all of our travels. We stayed in the Cardinal Suite which was beautifully decorated and immaculate. Ricardo was a great host in that he was most helpful with all of our questions about the area, gave us directions, and even loaned us his local map. We enjoyed everything about La Ghirlanda - the property is beautiful and serene, the pets on the grounds add a homey feel, the wine and olive oil produced on site are of the finest quality. When I dream of Italy it is most often of this wonderful place in Umbria.
