No, this is not a hoax. Bastardo is the real name of this industrial town in southern Umbria, Italy. And it is a not inappropriate name. It has few redeeming features and is almost certainly the least attractive town in Umbria although, to be fair, there are an awful lot of stunning towns in Umbria, so the competition is rather tough.
Via Caduti della Miniera, 5, Bastardo. €40-50 per person for Bed and Breakfast. 16 rooms
A few miles out of town in the direction of Spoleto. Loc. Rustichino, 10, Giano dell'Umbria (PG). Two apartments and a room in a restored country house attached to a working farm.
From Rome it is about two hours to Bastardo. Take the A1 Autostrada north. At Orte join the E45, direction Perugia. Leave this road at the SS316. Going north Bastardo is signposted.
