Great place, enjoyable stay!

We stayed here with another couple and enjoyed our stay. Lorenzo greeted us upon our arrival and showed us around the house and grounds. He was nice enough to bring us a basket of delightful vegetables from their garden, and we used them all over the week we were there. The road coming up to the property was very bumpy and somewhat challenging, and we had to come up a certain way because the road was closed coming up from the other direction. Once there, however, the view of the Tuscan hills was just beautiful. The house was well-equipped and comfortable but it could definitely use some new furniture as the furniture was a bit shabby. The other property on the grounds was completely updated with new furniture and was beautiful. Overall we enjoyed the place and would recommend it.

Great country like Tuscany farm house with fantastic views

This property fulfilled our dreams of country living in Tuscany. The house was perfect for our 7 night stay. Even when the weather turned cool and rainy, being in the large kitchen with the wood burning fireplace warmed our souls. The hosts were caring and very helpful. The whole experience from their home cooked pizzas and garden fresh vegetables (from their garden), grilling our Florentine steaks, just typing this makes us want to go again.

Wonderful hospitality

Suzy and Salvatore were wonderful hosts and made us feel very much at home in the villa. Suzy was always on hand with advice and recommendations about interesting places to visit and nice places to eat. We took advantage of the option to have Salvatore cook for us one night and enjoyed a convivial evening and delicious food. Our four-year-old loved spending time in the pool and meeting the resident dog, cat, donkeys, and chickens. Like anywhere in rural Tuscany in August, we were bothered by horseflies and mosquitoes, but that is par for the course and the lovely setting of the villa more than compensated for the occasional punture di tafani.

10 stars!

Just returned home from a 6 night stay at Casa Bada and everything was perfect! We were 5 adults and had more than enough space. The home is fully stocked with anything and everything you could need. I was able to prepare my family a traditional Sunday Italian dinner in a Tuscan farmhouse! The views are breathtaking. Get some meat and cheese and bottle of wine and sit outside. Supermarket and train station are only about 5 min away. A car is definitely needed to get around the area but I recommend using the train to go back and forth to Florence. There is a great little restaurant up the road Lago Di Vetrice that has great pizza. Another great spot not far for lunch is La Bottega del Mulino. Also has a great little market. I recommend a tour of Castello del Trebbio. Beautiful castle and delicious wine. Suzy can direct you to these places. That brings me to Suzy and her family. Such wonderful people! I can’t say enough about them. The hospitality Suzy and Salvatore extended us was incredible. Charlie and Antonio, Suzy’s sons, are 2 of the most respectful young men you’ll ever meet. We had a meal prepared by them, in their home, and it was delicious. I highly recommend arranging this as it was definitely a stand out experience. We had an amazing vacation in a beautiful place! We’re already talking about going back!

Beautiful Setting - Terrific Family Hosts

Lovely home in the Tuscan countryside. Pictures represent home/setting well. Suzy very helpful in making the arrangements for our visit. Highlight of our stay was scheduling two nights for the family to prepare a meal for us. Antonio (Suzy's son- a chef) cooked a wonderful meal our first night. Charlie served the meal and both of her sons were a delight to interact with during our stay. Salvatore, Suzy's husband, prepared pizza in the outside stone oven our last night. It was terrific. Recommend visiting Trebbio Castle for tour and wine tasting. Also recommend having lunch at nearby Bottega Del Mulino (property has windmill) and then it is a beautiful scenic drive over to Trebbio Castle. We very much enjoyed our stay in Tuscany.

Birthday celebration

We loved every moment of our stay! It was a beautiful setting, comfortable and relaxing! Antonio went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed including taking us to town for groceries. He also gave us the best recommendation for nearby restaurants and wineries AND made arrangements/reservations for wine tastings and the best table at a close by restaurant. We all highly recommend this farmhouse and will return! Especially to eat and Antonio’s new restaurant and next to time well remember to bring home some of their olive oil. PS Suzanne was SO helpful and also went above and beyond as I made the booking, had to reschedule and was always prompt to respond with answers and help! Awesome family!!

Tuscan villa

A lovely home in Tuscan style. Set in the hills outside Florence, a car is essential to reach it. The home is well appointed and maintenance issues were quickly addressed by the owners. The meal cooked by Antonio/Salvatore is highly recommended. Charlie was the perfect waiter. Suzy is a wealth of information for local touring options. Perfect for a family stay.

Highly recommend staying here. You will never want to leave. Not only is the home lovely, but the hosts were so kind, helpful, friendly and made our stay even better. We hired Charlie to cook a scrumptious Italian dinner the night we arrived which was such a treat. Loved the nearby town and easy drive to train station to get to Florence. We are already trying to find time to return. We loved every minute at this home. Thank you to Suzy and Charlie for all your extra care and thoughtful holiday treats. We enjoyed everything and are so grateful to you both for all you did for us. Thank you!

Fabulous experience!

My husband, myself and another couple spent 5 days at this beautiful farmhouse. Our only complaint was that it wasn't long enough. Suzy made reservations for us for for wine tasting in a nearby castle, which was fabulous. Her husband, Salvatore, and son, Charlie taught us the art of pizza making and then served us dinner. It was an amazing experience in an amazing home in an amazing area of Italy. This was the highlight of our trip. Thank you for being so kind to us.

A wonderful getaway in the Tuscan hills

We've long dreamed of staying at a farm in Tuscany, and we were delighted to make this dream come true at Casa Bada. We loved the comfortable farmhouse and its environs, and we appreciated the hospitality of our hosts. Suzy was wonderful to communicate with, and we only wish we could have met her to thank her in person for all her recommendations, but she left us in good hands with her son Charlie and husband Salvatore. A highlight of the stay definitely was the first night, when we had arranged for Salvatore to prepare a dinner for us, which we enjoyed on their terrace, overlooking the amazing countryside. The garden was dying down and chickens not as active, but Charlie and Salvatore started us out with a good supply of fresh eggs and tomatoes, and they gave us a jar of Salvatore's excellent homemade tomato sauce, which we used one night when we cooked for ourselves. Their olive oil is delicious! We definitely would recommend hiking or driving up the hill to the windmill and its bodega and restaurant for a magical experience. One one recommendation would be to think about the country roads when selecting a rental car. We wished we had had a smaller car, with more clearance for those steep, winding, rutted Italian roads.

Verified traveler

This is an amazing property with all the luxuries of home.

Almost every window has a picture perfect view of the countryside below. The spacious kitchen with welcoming 8 foot wide fireplace and antique family-friendly table is the perfect setting for meal after meal of home-cooked Tuscan delicacies. From candle next to the bathtub to the instant hot water kettle in the kitchen, living in this spacious apartment will feel as cozy as your own home. At the time of year we arrived, figs were falling off the trees and into our mouths. We went into Rufina for awesome pizza at il Ritrovo (the host called and made reservations for us), and we drove to Castello dI Trubbio for a private tour (again, great suggestion by our hosts) complete with wine tasting led by sommelier Noami. While we did not use the large swimming pool, it looked beautiful positioned high above the host’s 200 olive trees (you can buy a bottle from their private stock.) I could go on and on, but that is not necessary if you make Casa Badalamente your holiday home in Tuscany.

Beautiful property and great owners!

This property did not disappoint! The home is beautiful and comfortable, communication with the owner was great, and the views are gorgeous. This home is high up in the hills so just know that the roads to get there are narrow and bumpy, but once up there, you will love it. The town of Rufina is a cute little place. We had gelato at da i' Gela and pizza at the place next door. It was lovely in the evening to sit outside and eat and it is right next to a cute little park where the locals would sit on the benches and bring their kids to play. We really enjoyed the area. It is close to the train station and close enough for day trips to Pisa and Siena, which we did. It was also very convenient to Dicomano, which is where we were attending a wedding which was one of the main reasons I chose this property. The home itself is large and spacious so we didn't feel cramped with the four adults in our party. We cooked 2-3 times while here and I will say that the cookware should probably be replaced as it has seen better days. There are two bathrooms in this home, one with a shower only and the other with a shower/tub combination. The bathroom with the shower only is TINY. A large adult will have difficulty showering in it which is why all of us showered in the one bathroom with the shower/tub combo. I also found that the water took several minutes to warm up but then it would get too hot. The odd thing was that if you tried to turn it down just a tiny bit expecting to get cooler water, it would then just turn too cold, as in ice cold! There as no happy medium as far as the water temperature. I don't know why this happened. My only other complaint was that the WiFi was not the best so if you need a good WiFi connection because you need to get work done, be aware of this. While annoying, it isn't enough for me to not recommend this home as everything else makes up for minor inconveniences. Our host, Salvatore was super kind and friendly. He even invited us to have dinner with him one night where he prepared the most tasty spaghetti I have ever had! He prepared it using food straight from his garden. I've never tasted anything so fresh and delicious before! We were also welcomed with water, fresh tomatoes, and fresh eggs waiting in the refrigerator. We also arranged for him to cook us a several course meal, which was amazing. I have no problems recommending this lovely farmhouse.

Beautiful view of Tuscany right in the middle of Chianti.

The house was beautiful great place to relax and enjoy the day or if you wanted to travel the train station to Florence was a close drive away. The house was as shown no surprises it was clean and large for 3 couples our two adult kids and there significant others. Salvatore was there to help us out he even showed us where the grocery store was when we got there. We ate in a few times that was great we bbq on an open fire and Salvatore joined it was nice to meet him. The only downfall for us is it was really hot and it was tough sleeping in the house. Thank you Salvatore

AMAZING!

We were just there a few weeks ago with our three children and we traveled through Italy and made a stop here for a week. It is an incredible place with the most breathtaking views! We were close enough to Florence and Siena but far enough away to truly take in the beauty of Tuscany. Suzy is very welcoming and helped us to make reservations and suggestions for local day trips. If you go there make sure to visit Castello del Trebbio for a cooking class and wine tasting. You will love your stay here!

Wonderful Tuscan country home with fantastic views of the countryside

We stayed for a week at this beautiful restoed farm house and had peaceful and very enjoyable stay. The house is spacious and cool, built of thick stone, with a great terrace with classic Tuscan hill views. It's very conveniently located to visit Florence, Arezzo, Fiesole and many charming Tuscan villages. Suzy and Salvatore are very hospitable hosts. We couldn't recommend their house more wholeheartedly.

My husband and I and our three teenage children spent five nights at this beautiful home. The weather was scorching hot but the pool at the end of the day made all the difference. After a day of sightseeing in Florence, Siena, Verona or Padua (all close by) we couldn't wait to get home to this wonderful house with its stellar views. If you come - you should ask Salvatore to cook a dinner for you. The family was wonderful--- and incredibly helpful. Dinner was superb!!!!! August 2017
