Badiula

We stayed for one night on the 14th of August, and there was an event taking place. We could hear the music in our room until 2 a.m., which has left us feeling very tired and disappointed this morning. The receptionist mentioned that in Italy, people generally go to bed very late.

“La Dolce Far Niente” is an Italian way of living you can truely experience when staying at Agriturismo Badiula. When staying at Agriturismo Badlula you’ll be surrounded by acres of beautiful land with the most beautiful trees. When we walked into our incredibly spacious room we immediately felt like royals but when we opened our doors to the terrace we literally felt like the king & queen. Sitting on your patio overlooking the fields full of trees is pure serenity and Italy to me! Along the property you could find 2 amazing pools with both splendid views over the land. No roads, no cars, just pure nature bliss. The food at the breakfast buffet and restaurant are both homemade with lots of love. I will never forget their white chocolate filled croissants I had in the morning. Not to forget about the insanely delicious meals we had made in the evening by the chef. He is literally A STAR! I wish we should have never left. We truely had the most splendid time at this beautiful property with its super kind and helpful staff. Such an unique experience to wake up in this paradise. To enjoy all the beautiful nature, to have the most delicious and homecooked meals, and this with own harvested foods (their homemade sorbet is to die for). We’re so so grateful and can’t wait to come back to this place one day! Thank you for this unforgettable experience and wonderful memories!

Firstly we were given the disabled room with strange high toilet and extra large washbasin. The shower doors didn't close properly and leaked all over the floor. Although it was a dark room with no windows just shutters on glass doors we could have lived with it apart from a noisy pump in the adjacent utility room which started up EVERY 2 minutes for about 10 secs. This kept us awake most of the night. How does the management expect anyone to sleep through that? I have a recording if anyone doesn't believe the noise. We were moved the next day across the courtyard to a larger room with upstairs. We had used a voucher from 2 years ago and I got the distinct impression we had been given the overflow room. So, secondly the WiFi didn't work. I immediately complained only to be told it would be looked at. It wasn't and I complained again the next day. This had impacted our planning of where we were visiting and eating etc. Finally someone made the necessary changes on the router/server and it worked. Never before have I seen people queuing to get into the swimming pool which opens late and closes a couple of hours for lunch. The breakfast was basic, very basic. You wouldn't starve that's the best I can say. It doesn't help when you see the waiter scraping together the spilled muesli and putting it back in the dispenser. My evening meal the first night was a really good dish and based on that we decided to eat there the second night. Well it was inedible and tough. A completely different meal, different quality ingredients and different chef. It had to be sent back. The replacement was marginally better but I gave up on that as well. Regarding the token unmanned bar good luck getting anyone to serve you there. In summary this was by far the worst of 4 places we stayed at. I could not recommend it.

A beautiful place with nice facilities. Amazing walks through the orange and lemon trees. However, the kitchenette wasn´t working and it took us and the staff an entire afternoon to fix it. While the staff was very friendly, the supervisor and manager was rather unfriendly and could not speak english.

Posto molto bello immerso nel verde abbiamo preso qualche piatto tipico della cucina siciliana discreto però per passare un fine settimana in zona secondo me è da provare. Forse sono un pochettino carico come prezzi però ormai è una prassi avere i prezzi alti.

Immerso nel verde questo paradiso mi ha personalmente sorpreso. Camera pulita e contesto stile borghetto molto rilassante… Tenuto tutto con molta cura concludo con i miei massimi complimenti al Direttore gentilissimo e attento ai clienti. Un plauso anche alla reception. Grazie, ritorneremo
