It will be necessary for you to travel in your own car from the horse ranch in Madison to Savannah, a distance of 204 miles.  (Note: Cars can be rented in Atlanta and dropped off in Savannah—a car will not be needed once in Savannah.)  The trip will begin mid-afternoon in Savannah at our luxurious accommodation in the heart of historic center.  

Our sumptuous hotel was the first property in all of Savannah to have electricity.

Our boutique luxury hotel has been voted by USA Today as the “Most Romantic Accommodation in Savannah,” but this is only the tip of the iceberg for its many accolades.  A former private mansion built in 1873, the hotel boasts elegantly decorated interiors and captures the grand style of the Old South like no other lodging in the city.

Yes, extra nights can be booked through Wine-Knows Travel, and are highly recommended as there is much to see in this special city.  As the hotel is extremely popular, early booking is essential as spring is the most popular time of the year in Savannah.
