Back to the description of the vacation home in Umbria Badia Comments of the guests of Badia vacation home in Umbria From 2009: Dear Saskia and Willemijn, Together with our friends and children we had a lovely holiday in Villa Badia. We enjoyed the house, the garden and the pool. The house is well furnitured and stylish. Only some small things: some extra light bulbs in the house to replace would be practical. Some good knofes in the kitchen would be appreciated. Thank you for your good care and best regards, Jan.    Hello Saskia, Back in Holland and back to work, we findly remember our stay at the Villa Badia and it's surroundings. We had some troubles with a lot of rain fall during our stay which made it hard to get up the road. The owner and his son helped us out really well. They picked us up with a four wheel drive and even had a car for us, to pick up at the bottom of the riad. Walking down and picking up the car was an easy way to get round until the road was fixed properly. The owner even took us to a restaurant and at the end of the meal we were told that he had already paid the bill! Also the deck chairs around the pool that were a biot old, were replaced. He even replaced the table chairs which we didn't even ask for! The owners are extremely helpful and practical. We can only give them our compliments. We will always fondly remember this holiday and will surely consider your services again in the future. Regards, Toon and Margriet   Dear Saskia, Dear Willemijn, We had a lovely holiday at Villa Badia: beautiful home, good pool cleaned with a salt water system, good vies and good bedrooms. Only a few minor details to work on: the bedlinnen could be renewed, a fence near the terrace that would cover it from the sometimes strong wind, a bit more shade around (umbrella's) Thank you for your services. We had an excellent holiday. Kind regards, Maaike    From before 2009: Dear ladies, Hereby we would like to let you know that we enjoyed a wonderful stay in Casa Badia in Badia di petroia! The house fulfilled all our expectations and promises. Thank you for the excellent service! We'll probably meet again! Best wishes, fam. M   Hello Willemijn, It took a while to answer but it was work, work, and more work overhere. How are you? Are you preparing the gardens for the coming summer in Umbria? Is Villa Badia well occupied? What a wonderfull house that is, I recommend to anyone! We'll surely visit it again. I send the owner a postcard from Zeeland, a bit late, I hope it did arrive. A verry nice and attentive man, verry atuned to service. Our car was filled to the brim and we still had to put in the garbage, there was quite a lot and he was kind enough to ask if we wanted him take care of it! And he immediately offered a bread-board (apparently you told him); I had already bought one but didn't want to tell him at that moment, he'd notice it later. And I told you there was no washbin, he obviously had not understood since the kind soul came over with loads of clean towels etc.! I thanked him gratefully and hoped he didn't notice how surprised I was. I sure hope he didn't think of us a a load of bores, but he probably will not have understood, there were so many towels in the house! He may have thought i didn't want to wash or something like that. Well Willemijn I hope you have a delightful summer and again our gratitude for your mediation, visit and advice! Heleen   It was all wonderful... The first week we felt so spoiled we thought we had to pinch each others arm to realise it was real and not a dream. What a huge house and what an awfull lot of privacy.  It was all delightfull. Each other day we made a little outing, but were always glad to be in the house. The other days were spent lazying in and about the house. Bliss! The second week we were already accustomed to the luxury. (we already took the luxury for granted) (One accustoms quickly to anything luxurious) We no knew for sure it was all real. We enjoyed it till the last minute. As expected the holiday was way to short and the end came to soon.... Next year if possible, we'll make sure to call on you again. Kind regards, Reina    When I'm not spending time trying to get caught up at work, I will be leaving positive comments about VillainUmbria (and Badia) on various web sites.  Hopefully it will benefit you.  I know I appreciate your help and communication as we pulled this trip together. I hope to be able to do something like this again in the near future (not next year as my finances need to recover from this trip). M R.   I did not see a place to leave comments on your web site but I wanted to leave comments about our recent stay at Badia. "Having rented the property on line without seeing it, we did not know what to expect.  Saskia and Willemijn had assured me that we would be very happy with Badia but after driving up the dirt road and along a trail through the woods, we were beginning to think we had made a big mistake   When we finally got to the electronically controlled gate, Antonio met us and all of our concerns immediately evaporated. The house is spectacular and that doesn't even take into account the view from the house, or better yet, from the pool.  It is exactly what we were looking for, a place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the company of our friends and family in a quiet, comfortable, laid back environment.  There are 6 large bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, two family rooms (one is a game room with a ping pong table), a sun porch, a large kitchen with a table for 12, a laundry, an outside dining table, and THE POOL.  The pool is an "infinity" pool, with salt water purification rather than chemicals, and a view of at least 30 miles. Antonio, the owner, is very friendly, accommodating, and is justifiably proud of the house that he has spent the past 10 years restoring from medieval ruins.  Even my brother-in-law, a brick mason from Wales, thought the stone and timber work were exceptional. The house is near the town of Trestina which has all of the amenities you will need - deli, pizza shop, grocery store, gas station, etc. - even a commuter train station with service to Perugia (where you can connect to Rome, Florence, etc.).  The one mistake I made in planning our trip was not allowing enough travel (drive) time.  Even though the house is located roughly 20 to 25 miles from Cortona, the trip takes over an hour due to the mountains and frequent switchbacks and hairpin curves.  We soon discovered that if we wanted to go to Tuscany (Florence, etc), it was far easier to drive to Perugia (45 minutes) and take the train.  Not only that, we found that the hill towns in Umbria, which are lesser known and off the beaten track, were as spectacular, if not more so, than those in Tuscany.  Make sure you don't miss Gubbio, Assisi, and Spoleto. We would stay there again in a heart beat but one word of warning - I wasn't kidding about the dirt road and trail through the woods.  The first few times we drove it we had a little difficulty but we were also driving a 9 passenger mini van.  We always made it to the house but as it was 10 to 12 minutes from the main road, we made it a practice to have everything we needed before returning home in the afternoon so we wouldn't have to go out again.  Yes - you will want to return home by late afternoon so you can relax in the pool and enjoy the view." Hopefully you can post this review and be sure to thank Antonio for all of his help and tell him he has a wonderful home and should be proud of it.
