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!

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.

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.

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.

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 😊

Lovely farmhouse with close proximity to good walks and cycles

We had a wonderful holiday, the pool was lovely, the house had a large wild garden with a lovely river at the bottom backing onto the main road. Inside of the house was very nice, the kids loved the games room, and the welcome pack of local food was a lovely touch. We loved having bbq every evening watching the moon rise over the mountain.

A slice of paradise

Badan Farmhouse is for sure a little slice of paradise! The location is simply idyllic ,situated overlooking a meadow with nothing but country side (except for the beautiful pool) in the eyes view. A real added bonus is the river and natural swimming pool and waterfall at the end of the garden. We have four boys and this definitely was the highlight of the stay.The house itself is very tastfully decorated and the sitting room at the top of the house a lovely retreat. Dawn was very helpful and provided lots of useful information. The local hosts Tomasso and Carris are extremely warm and welcoming and generous with their time and advice for which we are very grateful.

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.

Lovely farmhouse in beautiful environment

We had a wonderful time at this renovated old farmhouse in Badani. The kids loved the pool and the river. We enjoyed a lot of wildlife in the garden including deer and wild boar. The local host Tommaso was very helpful and responsive. Sassello is a short drive or 20 min walk away and the Deiva forest starts at the back of the property.

Perfect getaway

Our family fell in love with this farmhouse and could not have had a better stay. The property is beautiful and quiet, with stunning vistas, a wonderful pool, river access, and plenty of spaces for reading and relaxing. The home was charming, with a great kitchen for cooking meals, comfortable beds, and fun upstairs loft for movies and games. The restaurants, people and shops in Sassello were great to explore and everyone was so welcoming, and it was a short drive to the Riviera beaches to enjoy those as well. This was the perfect place to relax and explore the area. Thank you for letting us share your home--we will be back!

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.

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!

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.

A wonderful stay

We are a family of 2 adults, a 15 year old daughter, and a 12 year old son. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Badani farmhouse together Max our dog who loved trips down to the river. Although there had been very little rain the waterfall was still very enjoyable to climb out to and for all of us to cool down in the pools below. The pool and house were all in excellent order and Tomasso (the housekeeper) and his family were all very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. A 20 minute walk (mostly avoiding the main road up to Sassello) is a lovely stroll and leads to the lovely small town of Sassello which caters for all needs. Genoa and Portofino were in easy driving distance. Thank you Dawn for allowing us to stay at Badani.

Family Paradise

Where do I start? A well equipped converted farmhouse in an idyllic rural mountain setting, but only 30 minutes drive to the Med. This provided spacious accommodation for our group of 7 (4 adults, 3 children) topped off with a superb family room in the converted loft, great for chilling out after a long day. Then there are the grounds, a typical Italian shaded outdoor eating and sitting area, so relaxing that all our meals were taken in this area. Just a short distance away our own superb swimming pool where we all spent many enjoyable hours in the water and enjoying the sunshine. If this was not enough at the bottom of the meadow a path leads down to a river with a waterfall. An area for adventure the children could not have hoped for in their wildest dreams. There are no adjacent occupied properties, so you have this paradise all to yourselves. The local village shop, although small, has a great selection of local cheeses, meats and wines as well as most essentials. Sassello, a short drive away, a lovely Italian mountain town has plenty of places to eat and shop to fulfil any other needs. To make the holiday complete there was Tommaso and his family who met us and introduced us to the property. They were a fount of local knowledge and were always on hand if needed. I do hope we can create an opportunity to return in the future

Lovely peaceful country house

Had a great stay at the house in Sassello. The house is situated just outside the lovely town of Sassello, a quiet and relaxing low-key (and very pretty) town with enough shops/bars/restaurants to keep you happy for a week or two. The house is very well appointed, with a fab kitchen containing everything you need. Beds are comfy. And everything was spotlessly clean. The upstairs kids play area/lounge with TV and log fire is really useful and relaxing. There's also great oudoor areas, with a patio and tables outside for alfresco meals, a fab heated pool, shaded areas and sunbathing areas around the pool. Then there's also the "wilder" meadow leading down to a river with waterfall and natural swimming pools. Dawn the ownder communicated well throughout and whilst in Italy the house manager was as welcoming and helpful as you can get! Being shown around the town by a local was brilliant. Nothing semed too much trouble. Would recommend to anyone!
