Company information

I love meeting interesting people. For thirty years I worked as a creative director for advertising and television content and digital thinking. Now I find my time really interesting for this work. 100% of Villa Varenna's customers are international. And I love this thing. I have lived in Paris, London, N.Y.City in China and my approach to life has always been to see and learn about new things. Now I work 7 months a year and then travel with Paola my wife and Roosevelt my dog. Of course, my three amazing children are also there. But now they are grown up and they don't come with me anymore :-) I'm waiting for you at Villa Varenna to spend a stay that you won't easily forget.
