Borgo di Bastia Creti

Our group of 22 friends and family members spent a glorious week here to attend a local wedding. The property is spectacular and staff are wonderful. Any tiny glitches were instantly remedied. The views are spectacular, and the combination of separate and communal spaces ideal for a large group. There are many interesting places to visit locally. Sonya manages the property very well indeed.

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.

This was our second time staying at Borgo Bastia Creti. This time was special because we had our wedding there with a small and intimate group of family and friends who were all able to stay comfortably at the villa. We truly enjoy staying here and appreciate the help and care from Sonia, Yuri and the rest of the staff. We had arranged a few days of breakfast and one dinner which all of our guests loved. The grounds are maintained beautifully. The scenery and views are unmatched. We love the tranquility and privacy of this villa. Where the villa is located is in perfect distance to the more “touristy” towns. There are so many great restaurants nearby which Sonia was always able to help get us reservations for. I think what really sets this villa apart from others is the care of kindness of the team, but also because you feel like it is your home away from home. It os private and away from any crowds but close enough to all that the surrounding area has to offer. We cannot wait to come back here again (hoping for next year)! You will not be disappointed staying here! It is a wonderful place to stay!

My husband and I celebrated our wedding as well as hosted a welcome party at BBC. Both were perfect! The entire weekend was a dream. Such a beautiful place for a wedding and celebration. Sonia and the staff treated us like family! The food was incredible. I cannot rave about this place enough! We will be back!

My son got married at Borgo Bastia Creti and I cannot imagine a more perfect setting. Not only was it beautiful, the service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. Sonia and her staff were very helpful to ensure everything was perfect! Each villa was beautifully decorated. Reserving the entire property was perfect for our wedding but we would love to return and rent a villa or two. We can’t thank you enough!

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.
