It has a unique charm and a dreamlike atmosphere that embraces its guests. It was always our dream to own a house in Tuscany and after looking for 2 years we finally found a home that has everything we could have wished for. The house for us is a great escape of peace and tranquility from our busy lives in London. We have lovingly restored the house over the last 5 years and have it finished to the high standard that we would expect for our home. We spent many weekends scouring the antique markets in Arrezo and Cortona to furnish the house and have used all local specialists for the furniture, from Busatti to Lorenzini. We have spent many happy weeks here with our family and friends, we are very proud of what we have achieved at Villa Valerie here and we hope you will enjoy living the dream too.

If you time your stay for Autumn you may be able to pick the ripe fresh Figs from the 4 trees around the house ! The grounds have been greatly restored and landscaped and we have loved watching the house evolve back into the beautiful farmhouse it once was. We feel like we are in another world when we are here.
