We had a wonderful time at Il gallo rosso! We had been traveling from town to town for 2 weeks and arrived at this most tranquil, scenic and welcoming guest house. There is something magical about this place. The spacious rooms were so engaging with 2 sets of double doors wandering out into the garden on the one side and a rolling meadow on the other.
When we opened our sitting area windows we had a spectactular view of sheep grazing in the meadow with a castle in the distant horizon. The place and it's hosts create a sense of ease, beauty and comfort that you don't want to leave. Our accomodations were so pleasing, comfortable and extremely clean. The full kitchen and breakfast area was perfect for snacks and wine prior to a delicious meal prepared (and shared) by our hosts who are able to make us feel right at home while also giving us our privacy. We felt like we were truely at a special place. The time we spent at Il gallo rosso is something I will remember all my life and look forward to a return visit.

We spent a wonderful week at Il Gallo Rosso, meeting kind and hospitable people and sharing some good times with the locals. Ian is the ideal host and makes this home from home. The rooms are spotless, comfortable and functional. I would recommend it highly for a great stay in the most stunning part of Italy!

We stayed at this charming farmhouse in August 2003. Our host Ian was delightful & his kind hospitality was very well received (he cooks a mean Ragu!). A very special effort was made to make us feel comfortable & welcome & we sure got to experience life as a local - the most amusing was following a few large glasses of vino, dancing around the square at midnight with the locals of Montegiove at their annual festival - believe they are still recovering!! If you are visiting Umbria - Il Gallo Rosso is a must. See you next year A&K London
