WHAT PEOPLE SAY

George Hutchings, Bermuda

“My week at Valdiperga was magical. From the panoramic views of the Mediterranean to quiet moments by the pool or wandering through the private forest, every part of this beautifully restored villa offers peace, inspiration, and wonder. Roman and Gabriela Brunner’s warmth and care elevate the experience far beyond a typical retreat. I came to relax and recharge, and I left renewed, hopeful, and ready for what comes next. Viva Valdiperga!”

Renu Bakshi, Global Crisis Manager/Public Speaker (Canada)

“As a crisis manager and public speaker who travels extensively, my mind works in overdrive. When I arrived at Villa Valdiperga, I found stillness. Every part of the estate and grounds inspired me to slow my pace, breathe, and reconnect with my true essence. Magic.”

Corinne Fischer, Switzerland

"I experienced an unforgettable retreat at the Brunner family estate in Tuscany. Roman and Gabriela created a sanctuary that allows one to escape daily worries and fully immerse in personal transformation. Surrounded by untouched Tuscan hills and endless views, the peaceful setting inspired deep reflection and a profound appreciation for life’s precious moments."

Barthélemy Helg, Switzerland

“A retreat at Valdiperga is an experience outside of time, shaped by its magic. As you climb the hill leading to the estate, it becomes immediately clear that you are arriving at a truly extraordinary place.

The Belle Arte–style manor is striking yet intimate in scale. Luxury here is complete yet understated. It is a place where one feels, quite naturally, at home. Roman and his wife Gabriella have poured heart and passion into restoring the house, leaving nothing to chance and creating an atmosphere that invites deep relaxation.”

Camilla Douraghy Fischbacher, Creative Director, Fischbacher 1819

“Our stay at Villa Valdiperga was a rare and inspiring experience. Surrounded by nature and a quiet sense of beauty, it became the perfect setting for the photoshoot of Fischbacher 1819’s new outdoor collection. Every space — from the gardens to the light-filled interiors — carries a feeling of calm and authenticity. It’s a place where creativity flows naturally, and where work and well-being meet in perfect balance.”
