Forte Sorgnano In Gualdo cattaneo

Magnificent, a haven of peace in the heart of Puglia. My partner and I stayed for three days for a wedding. The staff and service were excellent; they were attentive to their guests' every need. The only two minor drawbacks: the road was passable with a WRC car, unfortunately there's nothing they can do about it, but it's worth it, and the shower, which was dilapidated. Thanks again to Marco for his welcome.

The setting is evocative and simply wonderful. Perfect for any type of event. Impeccably managed.

Tenuta di Forte Sorgnano was the perfect venue for our Wedding, I cannot recommend it highly enough! The Castle was incredible and surpassed all of our (and our guests') expectations. Marco and his staff were so welcoming and provided excellent service throughout the duration of our stay. Marco was also very helpful and responsive in the months leading up the wedding, providing advice and answering any questions we had. Tenuta di Forte Sorgnano will forever hold a special place in our hearts :)

A beautiful place, nestled in the countryside, perfect for finding peace and serenity away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. We had a few issues with the bathrooms, but they were quickly resolved by the owner, who is courteous and very helpful. The breakfast is good and varied, and the pool is beautiful and clean. Just be careful about the road to get there. Follow the owner's directions; there are about 4 km of dirt road, and it's best to take the right one because there are several options, some of which can be difficult. Recommended.

You'll have to drive through the nature reserve, but it's worth it. Your accommodation is situated on a peak with fantastic views. There are plenty of places to visit nearby, and within the park itself, you can choose to swim or relax. Food is available on-site, but there's also plenty to choose from in the surrounding area. Follow the directions and you'll be fine!

The road to reach it is arduous

My husband and I recently got married in Tenuta di Forte Sorgnano and it was a magical experience. From the very beginning communication with Marco was so easy, he provided all the information in relation to what could be done at the venue. After talking with Marco and seeing the magnificent photos of the estate we were keen to go and view it. It did not disappoint, in fact it was more spectacular in real life than the photos. Marco was such a pleasure to deal with and made our visit a great experience. The estate had everything needed to escape the hustle and bustle of real life including a pool, restaurant, bar, kiddies play area and lots more. We instantly fell in love with the venue and booked it immediately when we got home. During our time planning the wedding Marco was extremely helping in providing information about the vendors and pointing us in the right direction. His kind nature always put our minds at ease every time we had a call with him, making the process feel like a breeze. Considering we found the wedding planning process so enjoyable we knew that our time at Forte Sorgnano was going to be great, but we could not have imagined how amazing it turned out to be. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, all the staff were wonderful going out of their way to help us in any way possible. Everything ran so smoothly it was like a dream. My husband, I and all of our guests have been using the words “fairytale wedding" to describe the experience. The food was spectacular and Marco was so accommodating to dietary restrictions and requirements. Marco even organised a cooking class for some of our guests one of the days which everybody thoroughly enjoyed. The day of our wedding at Forte Sorgnano is one we will never forget and we have Marco and all of his wonderful staff to thank for this.
