Very nice!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The pool was very nice. Secluded property, perfect for relaxing but at the same time only a short drive into the beautiful village of Sassello and about 30 minutes to the beach towns. The booking process was easy and the host responded right away to any questions one may have. Thank you!

Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay, we were due to take our 6 small dogs, due to unfortunate circumstances we ended up with 8 dogs which the owner was extremely understanding of. Nice welcome gifts to settle in with and beautiful views from the upstairs windows.

Beautiful stay, great host. Amazing location.

I have am a big fan of Italy and the landscape etc, and I stumbled across this villa by chance. Am I glad I did. The location is absolutely fantastic with incredible views. I am confident driving abroad and I would suggest you would need a rental car to get to the property, which for me was not an issue. The villa is very private and I felt like I had my own slice of Liguria, albeit only a 15/20 minute walk into sassello the nearest village. It’s a central location for Genoa, Turin and and Savona/the coast.The villa itself was clean with a good pool, a beautiful garden and off the property was a beautiful stream that I personally spent many hours exploring.The host Dawn was a great help and answered any queries I had quickly.I couldn’t recommend the place strongly enough. All I would say, you are in essence on a nature reserve, so expect wildlife. I personally again found this a huge bonus.

Best birthday ever!

The house was perfect for my 70 birthday stay. The grand children loved the garden and pool as well as the game room upstairs rainy evenings. We did some hikings to exciting places and of course we explored the stream at the house.

Lovely house, beautiful surrounding

Lovely House in beautiful surroundings. Dawn is a great communicator and Tomasso a good host. We saw deer and wild boar in the garden. The village makes for a nice morningwalk plus cappuccino. The only disadvantage is the nearby road which was pretty loud in the weekend.

Great tranquil place

We enjoyed our short stay at your villa. The house was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the sitting room at the top floor and the lovely pool. The outside area however need a bit of attention ( maintenance of the grass, pergolas). Otherwise the service was second to none. Thank you. We will be back.

Very nice secluded location

We were a bit unlucky with the weather, it was very cold in the morning and evening, and it was also very cool in the house (the heating only came on briefly). Pros: - very well equipped kitchen - beautiful modern bathrooms - very nice large games and video room on the top floor - very good restaurants and leisure options nearby (ideal for hikes) Cons: - Mosquito nets on the windows would be a benefit - The mattresses are quite soft. Of course it's okay for those who like it. We live very quietly at home, so the constant sawing noises in the forest bothered us a bit (at the end of summer the wood was made for the winter). And on weekends, motorcyclists raced up and down the beautiful winding road from the sea. That was pretty loud. But of course the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and we can highly recommend the Farmhouse

Beautiful Sassello

We have spent 2 weeks in the most wonderful surroundings. The property offered total privacy, beautiful landscapes, while the proximity of Sassello, a vibrant little place, allowed us easy access to local shops and restaurants. The wild meadows around the pool are breathtaking, and the stream at the bottom of the property had a daily visit and was most appreciated by our 2 dogs, the youngest one even learning how to swim! The house was very cleaned and is very well equipped, we didn't once felt like something was missing. The game room was used every night for family board games evening! Dawn was very responsive and friendly through the booking process and a special thank you to Tommaso, Caris and Leonardo for their kindness and looking after us the way they did. Wish we were still there! Thanks for everything!

One of the best holiday villas we have ever stayed in!

The farmhouse was beautifully converted to make a comfortable villa for 8 people. We especially liked the sitting room in the attic. But the grounds were superb with a pool, shady outdoor seating areas and best of all a wonderful, waterfall and natural swimming pool in the river at the bottom of the garden. The weather was brilliant and we hardly left the villa all week except to go to the lovely local town (Sassello for bread, fruit and veg in the little shops and pizza in the evening.) The seaside at Savona was only 30 mins drive away but it was very hot on the day we went. However we did take the opportunity to do a big shop as this was the nearest large supermarket. We would definitely recommend this holiday - I had no idea that this part of the Italian coast was so beautiful, the sea and the hills were breath-taking. When I saw the waterfall in the garden in the photos for the villa I was very excited but it totally exceeded our expectations!

Wonderful family holiday!

We loved our stay at this stunning retreat set in the heart of the hills with beautiful views and within easy reach of the Riviera. The roads were pretty bendy getting in and out but the hardest places to get to are always the best! The perfect setting for two families and young kids to kick back and relax, beautifully furnished with no detail overlooked. A wonderful outdoor dining area with BBQ. (We didn't get to use the pool as it was out of season but we made the most of swimming in the river at the bottom of the garden). Lots of space to roam, play and explore and a huge variety of DVDs, games and books to delight young and old on those chilled rainy days. A gentle off road walk along the river into charming Sassello - authentic, rustic and rural Italy at its best offering a great choice of cafes, shops and restaurants and a small Carrefour for top up shops plus more Amaretto that you could ever wish for! Thank you for a wonderful stay in this very special house and area 😊

A little corner of paradise, beautifully appointed and perfect for a family holiday Italian-style.

Badani Farmhouse is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. It is a reprieve from the stresses of everyday life in the Italian countryside surrounded by natural beauty. The house has everything a family needs, from a well-appointed kitchen (including pasta-maker and espresso cups), to spacious bedrooms, to the glorious swimming pool (30 degrees every day during our stay!). From the back patio you can walk down to the cool shade of the river for a different kind of swim, equally refreshing. The small town of Sassello is nearby and offers several nice restaurants, bakeries, grocers, fresh fruit and vegetable stalls, and a weekly market (also a bar with a gelato counter, much-frequented during our visit). We particularly loved walking into town in the evening, past the little farm and over the footbridge. The house is an idea base for exploring the mountain villages, natural parks, or the coast. It is even possible to venture into the Piedmonte and to larger towns like Aqui Terme. We can't say enough about the local host and his family. Their warmth and graciousness, and their willingness to share tips about the area and the house made our holiday that much more special. We wholeheartedly recommend this property and hope to return ourselves one day soon.

Climbers short stay

We came on a climbing holiday and used sessello as a base. We were impressed from the start. Communication from the owner was rapid, and the house keeper was good enough to wait for us to arrive at a very unsociable time of the day. The complex itself was stunning, beatuful setting, wildlife roaming free. Anyone that likes open spaces and quiet will not be disappointed. The kitchen already had left over coffee etc in, which was very convent. And the owner had left us some local delacacies to try, somewhat of a rare form of hospitality. The local village a couple mins drive, turned out to be the best location we visited, which included our Dailey excursions to varazze. The coffees in the local village were by far I've ever had, as the add the local speciality of amaretti. The locals are also used to tourist as all we encountered spoke to us in English, when they saw us struggle with Italian. To summarise, if you are looking at this property, then you must book. It is a rare find. Everything about it ticked every box.

Quiet location with a great pool.

Great property with very nice bathrooms. Pool is very nice, but surrounding gezbo could do with fixing along with a few more nice sun loungers to finish it off. Location is in the mountains which is lovely, but expect to drive everywhere. Sassello is a 30 min walk and is very nice. Bedding and house and pool towels provided, along with essentials which is very welcome. Nice local cheese, wine and bread as part of the welcome gift. Would recommend.

Perfect huis met zwembad in mooie natuurlijke omgeving

Zeer ruim huis met alle benodigde faciliteiten. Zeer koel waardoor airco niet nodig is. Heel grappig is dat ´s nachts af en toe een zwijn door de tuin loopt. Wij zagen ook een hertje vroeg in de ochtend. Bij een avondwandeling zie je veel vuurvliegjes. Je bent echt midden in de natuur, maar toch gewoon aan de rand van het dorp. Enorm veel ruimte en privacy rondom het huis inclusief een goed onderhouden zwembad. Sassello op loopafstand om ´s ochtends een lekkere koffie te gaan drinken. Knus centrum. Check ook wanneer er markt is. Dichtbij mooi natuurreservaat Beigua voor mooie wandelingen. Tripjes naar Genua en het strand zijn prima te doen. Fijne week gehad, voor het hele gezin. Excellent contact met de beheerder en zijn gezin.

Sehr schönes Haus in ruhiger naturnaher Lage

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt! Das Haus ist unglaublich schön, sehr geräumig und auch das Außengelände ist sehr schön. Selbst bei Regen, konnte man sich sehr gut im Haus aufhalten, hatte genug Platz und es hat sich trotzdem wie Urlaub angefühlt. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und es lohnt sich, wenn man ein bisschen abgeschottet leben will. Außerdem ist direkt am Haus noch ein kleiner Fluss, durch den man waten kann. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!
