Borgo di Bastia Creti

Such a peaceful and beautiful experience! Sonia and Peppe took great care of us during our stay. I can’t wait to return here in the future for a longer time! The cottage La Limonia is beautiful and spacious and great price for all that you receive.

We are a family of 24 people from 3 countries with ages ranging from 3 months old to 60, who had had a couple terrible tragic years. We needed a space to come together to mourn and honor those lost but also to be a family again, to laugh and eat and find joy in new generations. We needed to relax and hold each other tight. We needed to share memories and tell stories. We needed to be together but also have plenty of space to be by ourselves. We needed to eat and drink wine and gaze at the Umbrian sky and vineyards. We needed to swim in the Italian sun, play tennis and ping pong, to watch the sun set and lightning storms rumble through the valley. We needed to sleep cozy at night while the teens and young adults laughed and star gazed and bonded as cousins (just like we did growing up). We needed a place like Borgo di Bastia Creti and we needed Sonia, the manager who greeted us with warmth, shed a tear when she heard our families story, who planned beautiful days for us and when we changed our minds and then changed them again always just smiled and said “no problem”. Borgo di Bastia Creti doesn’t feel like a hotel. It feels like home.

My husband and I spent a glorious month at La Limonaia (March-April 2023). In a time when customer service around the world is sadly lacking, the Borgo restored our faith in hospitality excellence. Sonia went above and beyond to make our stay special in every way possible, arranging on-site massages and yoga, restaurant reservations, and spending hours helping us make arrangements for day trips and transportation. She was literally on-call, answering questions after hours and responding almost instantaneously to requests. In fact, all the Borgo staff, were courteous, helpful, efficient, and responsive. The Borgo's setting and surroundings are beyond compare: beautiful, peaceful, rejuvenating. We left a piece of our hearts in Umbria, the heart of Italy, and hope to return again and again.
