In spring 2015, while biking through Vorno, Marleen and Luc discovered the old villa that would become Villa Marie. They immediately recognised the potential of the house and its grounds and decided to make it their Tuscan home.
After acquiring the estate, they named it Villa Marie after their daughter. Between 2018 and 2022, the villa and its two adjoining buildings were restored to their original splendour. The work combined respect for the estate’s historic character and original materials with carefully chosen materials of the highest quality, always balancing practical comfort, beauty and attention to detail. At the same time, Marleen and Luc transformed the surrounding land into the gardens and facilities that shape the estate today.
