Roses and the Vallora house at dusk

The mountain
republic.

A lived place somewhere in the mountains of Lebanon, made from stone, gardens, animals, weather and the people who care for them.

Coordinates withheld

A real place with an imaginary border.

Vallora State is not a resort or a set. Its beauty comes from use: paths crossed every day, an oven that must be lit, land that changes with the season and animals that ignore every plan.

A landscape that changes its mind
