Description
Sleeping up to ten guests, Villa Badiola is a traditional farmhouse which has been lovingly restored to create a peaceful and welcoming holiday home. Around the home guests can explore the 500-hectare estate which is filled with woodlands and rolling fields or visit charming hilltop villages, many of which are under 10km away.
The villa is set within a stunning former mill which was once an integral part of this centuries-old working farm. Now the home has been carefully renovated and tastefully decorated to offer accommodation to groups of friends or large families. Throughout the home you will see original details such as beamed ceilings, terracotta tiles and open fireplaces which now sit side by side with modern facilities such as Wi-Fi and air conditioning in the bedrooms to offer guests the perfect mix of old and new.
The home is spread over three floors; on the ground floor you will find the living space which comprises of an expansive living room with various sitting areas as well as a long dining table, ideal for chatting the night away over a sumptuous meal and a few glasses of local wine. The fully-fitted kitchen is also on this floor and is well-equipped with everything from a large fridge-freezer to a Nespresso coffee machine. If anyone in your group struggles with the stairs then they could sleep on the ground floor in the en-suite single bedroom.
The remaining five bedrooms are located on the first and second floors. The first-floor offers two en-suite rooms as well as a separately accessed wing with two bedrooms which is great for a family with a young child. The second-floor bedroom is a lovely romantic spot within a historic tower!
When staying at Villa Badiola, guests are offered every opportunity to truly relax and can book a wide range of additional services and experiences. Why not book the private chefs to prepare some of your meals, including a tasty welcome feast or perhaps you would like to book a cookery class to learn how to prepare local dishes yourself. You can even book babysitting, grocery shopping and a delicious picnic which will be served to you at an unspoilt lakeside location in the vast grounds around the home.
Outdoors, the home is enveloped by a spacious, landscaped garden which blends seamlessly into the surrounding countryside. Guests are able to swim in the private pool, fire up the barbecue and dine al-fresco or just sunbathe whilst taking in the staggering rural views.
