Casa Maria by Asconi Winery
Asconi's rustic guesthouse with hillside terrace, traditional mămăligă, and house wine
Mămăligă cu brânză de oaie și smântână casnică, servită cu vinuri Asconi pe terasă cu vedere la Old Orhei
Traditional Moldovan stone-walled house with panoramic terrace overlooking Butuceni village, operated by Asconi Winery. The menu focuses on authentic home cooking—mămăligă (cornmeal porridge) with cheese and sour cream, zeamă (chicken soup), fresh plăcinte (filled pastries)—paired with Asconi's estate wines. The atmosphere is warm and intimate, with attentive, friendly service. Perfect for lunch after visiting Old Orhei or a leisurely meal with wine tasting, especially in spring and summer when the terrace blooms. Located in the heart of Moldova's most scenic countryside, it offers a genuine taste of village hospitality just steps from the archaeological complex.
For the vibe - in Butuceni they united two old homesteads and kept the authentic architecture.

“Wow what an unexpected experience! I came by for a glass of wine and was greeted by two amazing young people who treated me so well. Sampled two different wines, got a great pour, soup was delicious and even a wine to go on the house. I wish I could spell their names, Gregory and lioanna? Thank you so much such a special experience :) I will be back !!”
