A stone's throw
from everything.
Medieval villages, volcanic lakes, Renaissance gardens and Rome — all within an hour's drive.
A land
outside of time.
Tuscia, the countryside around Viterbo, is one of Italy's least known — and most extraordinary — regions. Etruscan landscapes, medieval villages frozen in time, lakes born of ancient volcanoes.
Villa Vacanze Valentina is the perfect starting point: choose a different destination every morning, and come home to the silence of Tuscia every evening.
