Ciao Travelers!. We are so excited that the world is opening up once again to travel thanks to your diligence and the vaccine. We want you to feel secure so you can enjoy a worry-free holiday so we will continue to maintain all COVID-safety standards.
While we have always had the highest cleaning standards possible, we have implemented additional measures according to government standards to ensure you feel safe and secure when staying with us. We are confident that these extra cleaning precautions make Villa Valentina a place where you can feel comfortable and safe, just like home.
We will practice social distancing when we meet and greet you. We will not wear gloves but we will wash and sanitise our hands frequently. We request that you also wear a face mask when coming in contact with anyone at Villa Valentina. We live on the property and will be available for our usual concierge services as well as shuttle service but we will maintain safe distancing and sanitising at all times.
The positive side of this challenging time is you’ll get to experience Levanto and the Cinque Terre as it existed maybe 35 years ago, with no crowds, no waiting, mostly locals that will be happy to welcome you with open arms - Italian hospitality at its best.
It may seem cliché to think the romantic love story of an American being swept off her feet by an Italian fisherman can actually happen, but it did! Ask Paula and Angelo, the loving and generous owners of Villa Valentina.
While vacationing in Cinque Terre 25 years ago, Paula was struck by the Italian love bug aka Angelo, a 10th generation fisherman from Monterosso al Mare. It didn’t take long for Paula to realize her heart belonged in Italy, so she said good-bye to her executive life in San Francisco, threw caution to the wind, and booked her one-way ticket to the Cinque Terre.
Ultimately, we hope you find what Paula and Angelo found so many years ago - romance, laughter, love, and a healthy buzz from the wine, food, and wonderful lifestyle Levanto & the Cinque Terre offers to all who visit.

This was our family’s 5th stay at Villa Valentina and it was wonderful as always. We are a well-traveled family and rarely go someplace twice let alone this many times. Villa Valentina is one of our favorite getaways, Paula, Angelo, Valentina, Alena + Teddy (of course) have become our family in Italy.

I stayed at Villa Valentina five years ago with our daughter and returned this year with my husband. It's hard to believe VV has improved, as it was so wonderful the first time, but Paula and Angelo just keep coming up with more amazing amenities. Whether you're planning on an active vacation hiking the Cinque Terre trails, or just want to kick back and chill, Villa Valentina is the place to be.

It’s the attention details that make your stay so special—they really do think of everything! The VIP boat tour was the icing on the cake + the highlight of our 6 week holiday. We can’t wait to return with our kids to visit our new friends in Levanto!
