Info
Summary of reviewsLa Casetta di Badolo offers a mixed yet primarily positive experience, particularly appealing to hikers on the Via degli Dei. Strategically located amidst nature with panoramic views of the Apennines and surrounding valley, it provides a serene retreat. Guests have praised the breathtaking vistas from the terrace and its scenic positioning close to essential amenities and the renowned old Hostaria di Badolo.
Although breakfast reviews are mixed, many found the modest offerings of coffee, juice and packaged pastries sufficient for their needs, particularly those embarking on the Path of the Gods. The breakfast lady's helpfulness and the cook's kindness during meals are noteworthy positives. However, improvements could be made to offer more fresh and varied options.
Dinner experiences have varied with homemade meals by the owners being described as generous and satisfying. However, limited alternatives and expensive, sometimes underwhelming fare at nearby establishments were noted. Guests appreciated the owners' efforts to provide meals, especially when other dining options were unavailable.
Accommodations are praised for being clean and spacious, especially some rooms with thematic designs like vintage and comic. However, there are critical remarks about cleanliness, including dirty sheets and poor maintenance. Shared bathrooms have been appreciated for their cleanliness, despite some issues with overall hygiene and upkeep.
Staff interactions are a mix of commendations and criticisms. While several guests have praised the staff, especially the owner Daniele, for their kindness and helpfulness, others have reported unfriendly behavior and disorganization. Instances of smoking indoors and inconsistent check-in processes have also been highlighted.
While beds in private rooms have generally been deemed comfortable, the dormitory setup has received criticisms for being cramped and somewhat unhygienic with reports of bedbugs and dirty linens. The decor is considered shabby, detracting from the overall lodging experience.
In summary, La Casetta di Badolo is valued for its scenic location, tranquil environment and hospitality, particularly its homemade dinners and engaging staff. However, it would benefit from improvements in cleanliness, dining variety and consistent maintenance to elevate the overall guest experience.
