Dania is true to her word! When she says her and Jay respects your privacy and allows their guest to decide how involved they are to be, it is TRUE! I have stayed in other establishments in which the hosts force themselves on you to the point of intrusive! Valentino Retreat was homey, comfortable and very clean! I would highly recommend Valentino Retreat, Dania and Jay as to a place to stay. Just outside of Nashville, but in a city larger than what it looks on a map, Goodlettsville has a lot to do in its own right. BUT the amazing part is even though they are in the city, THEY are truly in the country of peace and quiet. I cannot say enough about the getaway and the views of the city below from the back deck, except you have to experience it yourself!
