Travel Italy Beautifully


Our Story

It may seem like a cliché to think that the romance between an American executive and an Italian fisherman could actually happen, but it has! Just ask Paula and Angelo, the loving and generous owners of Villa Valentina.

While vacationing in the Cinque Terre 25 years ago, Paula fell in love with Angelo, a ten-generation fisherman from Monterosso al Mare. Soon Paula realized that her heart belonged in Italy, so she said goodbye to her executive life in San Francisco, threw caution to the wind and booked her one-way ticket to the Cinque Terre.

In closing, we hope you will find what Paula and Angelo discovered so many years ago: romance, laughter, love and a healthy love of wine, food and the wonderful lifestyle that Levanto and the Cinque Terre offer to all who visit.
