Ca' Valenzano

We had a lovely, relaxing week at Ca Valenzano. The accommodation is beautifully decorated, and the kitchen has everything you need. The new pool has extraordinary views over the valley. Alice and Gavin are brilliant, generous hosts, and Alice is a fantastic cook. The breakfasts, with home made croissants and bread, yogurt and fruit, are delicious. Urbino, Arezzo and the Adriatic coast all make for spectacular day trips. This was our second visit. We had a really great week and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

We loved every second we were with Alice and her family. Our lovely appartment which had everything we needed, good bathroom and generous soaps, oils etc. Breakfast was a delight with homemade croissants, homemade jams, fruit, yoghurt etc. Alice would sit and chat about where we could go to explore and we shared a dinner with her and her family one evening. Wonderful. She is an excellent cook and a super generous lovely person.

We had an absolutely amazing week in Valenzano! Alice and Gavin were the most welcoming hosts and we had a few delicious homemade meals with them, their friends and family. Stunning setting up in the Tuscan hills for a very relaxing week. Would highly recommend!

We count ourselves inordinately lucky to have had the chance to stay with Alice & Gavin at Ca'Valenzano. We got in under the wire before Alice decided that the combination of major refurbishments and guests was insane. And how happy we are that we did. This is an oasis high in the Tuscan hills, impeccably run and easily one of the best places we've ever stayed in. From the welcome when we arrived, to the apartment itself, to the view over the hills and far away, to the extraordinarily delicious breakfasts & dinner en famille, it was perfect. Absolutely perfect.

We spent 8 relaxed and quiet days at Ca' Valenzano. Gavin and Alice were truly wonderful hosts. They treated us like good old friends and made us feel very welcome. They had an antenna for what we needed and did a lot to give us the perfect vacation. The apartment Piccionaia is beautifully designed, well equipped and furnished with love. The terrace is spacious, has sunny and shady spots and lots of places to sit or recline. We especially enjoyed that cats and dogs came by every now and then and let themselves be stroked. It is a perfect place for people who enjoy solitude.
