Casa Valentina

This villa is more like an estate than a single private home. Set on sprawling gardens in the heart of picturesque San Lorenzo, Casa Valentina is a cornucopia of luxurious design. Wide open spaces allow indoors and outdoors to blend seamlessly, while wood undertones give warmth to polished concrete and plush comfort in all the right places provides a perfect holiday ambience.

Bedrooms & bathrooms

Each of the five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and access to a private terrace. All bedrooms boast a king size bed with the master suite also featuring a walk-in-closet, contemporary bathtub and suspended fireplace. Rooms look out onto lush greenery and are afforded the utmost privacy. Bathrooms are framed by floor to ceiling windows that are filled with verdant plant life leaving the impression of an outdoor shower. Natural fibres and a touch of earth tones even out the sleek polished floors and warm wood finishes.

Interior

The most striking element in the open plan living space at Casa Valentina are the wraparound floor to ceiling windows that frame the entire area – the line between indoor and out is blurred into a continuous, seamless summer day. Enormous sofas are piled high with cushions, while dark blues and a smattering of black temper the streaming sunlight. A 12-seat dining table is cut from one tree trunk and the kitchen is pristine, boasting a wall long refrigerator including a full-sized wine fridge and walk-in pantry. A fully equipped gym provides for all your workout needs and a dedicated office space with a gorgeous view is at hand if needed. The screening room, equipped with massive day beds, will entertain young and old alike.

Outdoors

The lush lawn appears to stretch on forever into the surrounding countryside where ancient olive and fig trees preside regally. The pristine, heated swimming pool is framed by oversized sun beds and sofas shaded with natural fibre parasols. The wraparound terrace leading from the living room becomes another chill out zone under the dappled pergola with suntraps at either end. Alongside the pool is yet another gorgeous open-air lounge plus a summer kitchen and alfresco dining under the shade of an enormous carob tree. A half-sized football pitch is immaculately maintained for impromptu games and a cubby house provides endless hours of fun for the little ones.
