Badolato dream
The property is up on a hill with good views and very close to Badolato. It is one of our favorite villages and we had a treat with the Easter celebrations. It was a good base to explore the area. We felt welcomed.

Gorgeous peaceful mountain cottage overlooking the Ionian Sea.
My wife and I and her sister and husband traveled from Rome to Pompeii to Matera to Otsuni and to this cottage in Badolato all on a two week trip. All were two bedroom and two bath with kitchen VRBO rentals and this was our favorite. Very quite and peaceful on the mountain side just east of Badolato with amazing views of the mountains and ocean. There are trails through the olive groves, roads leading to interesting ruins, a vacant Convent next door, and gorgeous views. Very peaceful. Fabrizio left us a bottle of his great homemade wine. We explored the ancient villages of Badolato and Davoli. We enjoyed the nearby seashores. We spent one day just relaxing at the cottage, cooking our own meals, and taking an occasional hike. The views from the massive upstairs balcony were amazing. This is our third Italy trip and we have enjoyed staying at several Agritourismo lodgings and in small village rentals and this is our favorite.

Lovely location
Location was wonderful, peaceful and private set above the owner's (Fabrizio) olive groves. It is just a few minutes drive from Badalato borgo and the marina. Badalato borgo is a charming and very friendly village with a village shop run by the lovely Vittoria and many restaurants including a gelato shop. Fabrizio owns two of the restaurants which are very good. The house is comfortable and Fabrizio is very helpful with resolving any small issues. We did have a problem with the internet but Fabrizio was tireless in resolving it - which he did. Altogether it was a wonderful break and we would be happy to return.

Very beautyful and cosy!
The House in the area of Badolato was very fine, quite and cosy. Round about are Olive treeth and nature. The house inside was equiped with all things you need to cook, to stay outside, to chill. Everything is working. Fabrizio is a very friendly and reliable landlord which is giving every time little helps or tipps for a good staying. His restaurant „Catojo dello Spinetto“ is a dream for people which are loving fantastic, creative and local eating. The location is very typical and lovingly and the service is unbeatably friendly. All the time of staying in Badolato was like loving from the big Badolato family. In Badolato Borgo, in Badolato Marina ( especcially at the Beach Bar „L‘ancora“) and from Fabrizio. Too bad we coudn‘t stay longer because of working. Ist was a very good time, lovely people and we hope that we are able to come back soon! Greetings to Badolato Franco & Heike

Solides Ferienhaus für alle, die Ruhe suchen
Das Ferienhaus liegt hoch oben in den Bergen und ist umgeben von einem riesigen Garten voller Olivenbäume, der dazu einlädt, die Abende draußen zu verbringen. In unmittelbarer Umgebung befindet sich lediglich eine Kirche, die im August stark frequentiert ist. In den Schlafräumen gibt es jeweils eine Klimaanlage. Das Haus besitzt ein Bad mit Toilette, Waschbecken und Dusche. Im zweiten Bad gibt es eine Toilette mit Waschbecken und Waschmaschine. Wer auf der Suche nach Ruhe ist, der ist hier genau an der richtigen Stelle. Der Gastgeber Fabrizio ist sehr nett und gastfreundlich. Bei Fragen aller Art antwortet er umgehend und hat zumeist direkt eine Lösung parat. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist verbesserungswürdig. Es gibt leider keine Spülmaschine, keinen Toaster, keinen Wasserkocher, nur zwei Kaffeelöffel und auch keine Gartenliegen. Zudem gibt es im Haus eine sehr steile Wendeltreppe, die das Erdgeschoss mit dem ersten Stock verbindet. Dies ist vor allem mit kleinen Kindern eine Herausforderung. Leider hat während unseres Aufenthaltes auch das W-Lan nicht funktioniert. Man benötigt auf jeden Fall ein Auto, wenn man sich forbewegen möchte (Strand, einkaufen etc.).

Wunderschöner Garten
Il Giardino di Rocco war ein Traum, die Lage, die Olivenbäume und Mimosenbäume (??) boten der Hitze einen schönen Schatten, wir haben praktisch nur draussen gelebt. Das Haus konnte mit der Schönheit des Gartens nicht ganz mithalten. Für zwei Paare war es fast zu klein, eines der beiden Schlafzimmer war winzig, das Bad klein, das zweite Bad nur eine Toilette mit Funktionsstörungen... Küche ok, weil wir oft kochten, wünschten wir uns noch eine bessere Ausstattung.

Vacanza favolosa!
Siamo stati quasi 3 settimane ed abbiamo vissuto una vacanza bellissima grazie al proprietario, che dal momento dell’arrivo fino alla partenza ci ha supportato in tutto con gentilezza, professionalità, disponibilità e simpatia. La casa è bellissima, grande, pulitissima, con tutte le comodità. Due camere, due bagni, un salone ed una cucina molto grandi e forniti di tutto. Un grande terrazzo con vista su mare e montagne a 360 gradi, uno spazio esterno veramente grande, in mezzo al verde, con tutte le comodità. Luogo tranquillo per chi cerca tranquillità, ma anche comodissimo per la posizione, dalla quale si raggiunge il favoloso borgo di Badolato in 5 minuti ed il mare cristallino in 10 minuti. Al borgo abbiamo avuto la possibilità di fare delle cene veramente ottime presso i locali di Fabrizio (il proprietario): il ristorante a base di pesce “Bacco e stocco” e la vineria “La cicchinella”. Che dire: tra tante case che abbiamo affittato in anni questa è sicuramente la migliore. Ringraziamo ancora Fabrizio per averci dato l’opportunità di questa favolosa vacanza!

Traumhafte Erholung
Wer Ruhe für Erholung sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Der kleine Ort Badolato strahlt italienische Gelassenheit und Ursprünglichkeit aus. Das Ferienhaus liegt 2 km außerhalb in Mitten von Olivenbäumen und man genießt eine traumhafte Aussicht auf das Meer und die Landschaft. Am 5 km entfernten endlosen Strand hat man die Wahl zwischen ruhigem Naturstrand und geselligem Lido. Neben seiner absoluten Ruhe überzeugt das Haus auch durch sein großzügiges Außengelände mit Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten auf der Terrasse für tagsüber und auf der Dachterrasse für den Abend. Mit einer gut ausgestatten Küche, einem großzügigen Wohnzimmer mit riesigem Esstisch, einem Bad mit Waschmaschine in EG, zwei Schlafzimmern mit Klimaanlage und einem Bad mit Dusche im OG bietet das gepflegte Haus auch einer Familie ausreichend Platz. Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohl gefühlt. Hinzu kommt die großartige Betreuung durch den Besitzer Fabrizio. Er hat uns bereits bei Ankunft auf einer kleinen Sightseeing-Tour alle Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Lokale und Strandabschnitte gezeigt und reagiert auf alle Anfragen sofort. Danke Fabrizio, wir kommen wieder!

Großzügige schöne Villa im großen Olivenhain mit Panoramablick auf das Ionische Meer
Wir verbrachten 2 wunderbare Wochen Ende Oktober in dieser Villa, jeden Tag bei strahlendem Sonnenschein und noch bei wunderbar angenehmen Temperaturen. Die Villa hat eine feine Innenausstattung, gute neue Betten und stillvolles Bettzeug. Bereits liegend vom Bett aus kann man den Sonnenaufgang mit Blick übers Meer beobachten. Ob in der Küche werkelnd, auf der Terrasse oder dem Balkon sitzend - der 180° Panoramablick macht diese Villa zu einem ganz besonderen Feriendomizil. Die Abende am Kamin waren für uns die Krönung des Tages. Unser Vermieter war jederzeit bemüht, uns den Aufenthalt zu einem unvergessen schönen Urlaub zu machen. Alles verströmte Großzügigkeit. Wir sind Fabrizio von Herzen dankbar und grüßen Angela und Hartmut Adler

Meraviglioso
Disponibilità, cortesia e correttezza del proprietario, che ha fatto di tutto per soddisfare le nostre esigenze, unite ad una posizione eccezionale con uno stupendo paesaggio. Cercavamo un alloggio tranquillo e non molto distante dal mare e questo ha soddisfatto appieno le nostre esigenze. Bello e caratterisico il borgo di Badolato. Ottimo il mare, acqua limpida e per niente fredda, spiaggia libera poco frequentata, caratteristica essenziale per noi avendo un cane dal carattere particolare. Spero di poterci tornare.
