Located in central Umbria in the valley of River Puglia, a tributary of the Tiber, at the altitude of 290 m (951 ft) above sea-level, Bastardo is 7 km far (about 4 mi) from Giano, 6 from Gualdo Cattaneo and 20 from Foligno. It is an agricultural products processing center that counts several hotels and restaurants, due to its location in a scenic area of Umbria.
The town grew around an inn and stabling station in the 17th or 18th century, and was once known as Osteria del Bastardo (i.e. "Bastard's Inn").[2] In the 1920s the toponym was shortened to its current form and, from 1933, a name change was suggested but it was never modified. Bastardo has been noted for its unusual place name.[3]
