THE ESTATE · SINCE 1992

A story built over time

In the green heart of Umbria, the estate has grown little by little, year after year, restoring old rural buildings and turning them into places to enjoy. A family story that began in 1992, shaped by stone, landscape and hospitality.

OUR STORY

From farmhouse to a small Umbrian hamlet

The story of Tenuta Badia is closely linked to the Balestro family. In the beginning, there was no agriturismo here: just a house and three brothers, Anselmo, Umberto and Pietro, who chose this land to build their future and lay the foundations for the generations to come.
The project grew from the careful restoration of their old stone farmhouse and agricultural outbuildings. Spaces once used for farm work are now welcoming apartments, preserving the memory of their origins in their names and materials.

The beginning

The agriturismo opens following the restoration of the old stone farmhouse.

The first pool

A 6 × 12-metre swimming pool is created amid the greenery of the estate.

Tenuta Badia ’99

The farm is established; La Capanna is restored and a second pool is built.

Gli Stalletti

The old animal shelters become L’Etrusco, Il Perugino and Ex Pacciano.

New spaces

The former tool shed becomes home to three apartments, a guest room and a shared lounge.

An estate to enjoy

Hospitality, wellness, nature and farming come together in one place.

OUR FARM

A taste of the landscape

We have farmed the land around the estate since 1999. Our small-scale production reflects daily care, the seasons and an authentic connection to this corner of Umbria.

From our olive trees comes an oil with Umbrian character, bringing fresh green aromas and a bold flavour to the table.
