We fell in love with the estate and bought it in 1998 from Count della
Porta whose family has owned Vialba and the surrounding valley
since 1730. We restored it with great love and respect for its
ancient origins and the surrounding landscape. In 1999 we left
London and came to live in the beauty, peace and tranquillity
of the valley. So far we have restored the main residence, Lavender
House and Olive House. We plan to restore the other annex later.
Casa Vialba is almost a tiny village resting on the gentle flanks
of a hill overlooking the river Carpina and the country lane
that winds it way up the valley. The main house, its 3 annexes
and stables are surrounded by a 60 acre estate of forest and
countryside.
From the Casa Vialba, the only other buildings you can see are those
in the distant village of Montone and the Rocca d'Aires, a medieval
castle dominating the valley from its far away hilltop. These
beautiful stone houses have been restored to provide all modern
comforts while retaining their original charm. You will be living
in Lavender House and/or Olive House, and while being our guests,
you will enjoy the privacy of your own country house. Each house
has its own garden, patio, barbeque area and private pool.
The night of your arrival you will be invited to cocktails and a candlelight
dinner at the main residence. Thereafter we will let you enjoy
your privacy unless you need our assistance. We will do everything
to ensure that you spend a truly unforgettable holiday with
us at Casa Vialba.
