Ca' Valenzano

We had a fantastic time. The location is perfect if you’re looking for deep relexation. The views on the scenery are spectacular, the room well designed and comfortable, A number of small details, including the lovely local shower products and the great wine in the room, further added to the experience. Add to that the exceptional hospitality of Alice and Gavin. From the great breakfasts and dinners to Alice’s tips on what to do, we felt well taken care of at any moment. The wild swimming and visit to Urbino that Alice recommended stood out in particular. We look forward to our next stay!

We had a wonderful stay in the Piccionaia apartment, which is tastefully furnished with lots of thoughtful touches. A rare find! We spent our evenings on the terrace, soaking in the peace and quiet, and snoozing in the hammocks. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, the local village a walk away, and there are plenty of day trips for those who want more action. Alice and Gavin are the perfect hosts - available to provide tips and hints if we wanted them, very responsive to any questions and otherwise easygoing and friendly. We would absolutely recommend this stay to others.

We loved our stay with Alice and Gavin! It is easily my favorite part of our holiday in Italy. Their hospitality is incomparable. The house is beautiful and the view amazing. Alice is also a wonderful cook. Her risotto was the best we have ever had! I would easily recommend Ca’ Valenzano for families. Our 1 year old had a great time petting the dogs and jumping on the trampoline. Thank you so much for everything!

From the moment we arrived we felt totally at home - Alice and Gavin were amazing hosts whose local knowledge and recommendations made a huge difference. Alice cooked for us several times and the food was nothing short of superb - including the breakfasts with lots of fruit and home made pastries. The apartments are both very comfortable with great beds and space to sit and cook, and outside is a terrace with spectacular views and a place to eat underneath vines and passion flowers, plus hammocks under the pine trees nearby. A lovely bonus was the swimming hole in a nearby river.

We had a wonderful two days staying at Ca’ Valenzano and wished we could have stayed longer. Alice and Gavin were fantastic hosts and we enjoyed spending time with them and their three lovely children. The views are to die for - absolutely amazing. We spent the two days in the hammocks soaking up the views and that is very unusual for us. No need to go anywhere else! Alice is an amazing cook and prepared a lovely dinner. Breakfast was great with home made jams and pastries and a cooked option too. Would definitely recommend and would love to return
