Thanks for watching the video HOW WE RENOVATED AN ABANDONED HOUSE IN POSITANO
You two have made a paradise there. You truly bloomed where you were planted! That is a gift you should be proud of.
Well said.
Indeed they did! God Bless them.
You may not be financially rich but you are so abundant in your location, your home, and gardens, your friends and families. You truly have your very own pot of gold... much love to you all ... thanks for sharing. xx
I couldn't have said it better myself. My sentiments exactly! 🙂
True fact.
Well said!
Yeah, rich in the most important things in life for sure!!!!
Enjoy the journey ❤❤❤❤
That was really interesting to see the old photos of the land when Carlo's father first bought it. What an amazing transformation over the years. It's stunning.
You have both transformed the property into an absolute paradise. It’s sad to think that one day you may have to leave it due to the steps. I hope that one day Positano can install a trolly system that can take residents All the way up the mountain and back so that people don’t have to climb so many stairs especially when they are elderly or disabled.
Nicki, you and Carlo and your beautiful attitudes and personalities are what I call "my happy place". I just fully enjoy your videos and it is just peaceful and beautiful to watch. When I am wanting/ needing a smile I turn to your videos. Stay happy because your happiness makes others happy 😊
I personally LOVE this type of content! I love all of your videos of course, but, as a subscriber for many years now, I have wondered about how your beautiful home came to be! 🏡 🪴 🌸 Thank you Nicki and Carlo, for sharing your lives with us! For years now, watching your videos has been my Sunday routine… ☕️ 💻 AND now even my mumma ‘s routine! I introduced my Mum to your channel last Christmas and now we are both avid subscribers and we have our Sunday phone chats 📞 or Sunday visits and watch your newest video together! And we are now planning a mother / daughter TRIP TO ITALY 🇮🇹 in the next 5 years 🤞🏼 🙏✈️ Love Always from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁 xoxox
Grazie!😘💕🥰😍❤️
How fabulous!!!!! I to have looked at holidaying here one day x
That’s just so sweet! Makes me miss my mom, she would have loved Nicki and Carlo too!
This was seriously one of my favorite videos from you. It answered all my questions and more. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I cannot believe this slice of heaven was left abandoned for so many years. It must have taken a ton of work and like always I don't know where you guys get the energy, especially Nikki who gets migraines. You must not get a lot of attacks, thank goodness. It also takes a village too. Lots of kind and skilled friends and family.
Ditto. Cheers.
I'm so proud of the two of you and how you've worked so hard together to build your little farmhouse nestled there on the hill! It's amazing what a couple can accomplish together! It's so beautiful and so inspiring to see it all! Thank you very much for telling the back story of your lovely homemade little house!
A life well lived!
I have to say to you that I have always loved your home and area. I think your garden is fabulous and if I had the ability and I wasn’t 85 years old I would love to emulate that garden. Thank you very much for allowing me to spend a little bit of time in that garden.
I would call your yard the outdoor living room, it really is an extension of your house. On a positive note, the steps keep you all in great shape. It’s very lovely. My husband and I just bought a home and next spring we’re tearing out our entire back yard to plant a garden. Your videos give me great inspiration. I really miss living in Italy.
I love the way you two are so present with each other!!! You have created your own little garden of Eden!!! it is just beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing your life stories and moments!!! Love to hear them!!!💫💕
Look so beautiful. I love your house.
So many transformations. Never knew the history of who owned your place. Carlo's Dad saved the day and had no idea how awesome it is now. I'm sure you show him photos of all the updates. So many changes for the better. The kitchen is my favorite showing the upgrades. Happy family and animals. Stay safe. Drone shot was great too.
YES!...just like in Nigeria, houses are built from foundation and up by family members. When it's done by family over hiring contractors, the house is built with love and you feel it every single day, as you live in it, year after year after year. It's a wonderful! thing and a blessing.
YES!!!!! So true!!!
My home was built by a family. It is very well built Most of the family has passed on. A few left around here to tell the tales of the build. It is a wonderful thing.
In Greece, where my father was from, you build as you can afford. Sometimes takes a while- but owned outright. I love that !
@@Cenepk101 IKR! and isn't that precious!
My wife and I just returned from two nights in Positano. We have a whole new love and appreciation for you guys as we had dinner at Refugio dei Mele. Physically I don’t know how you do it 😂. We called the pain in our calves and thighs the “Positano burn”. Wishing your family health and happiness❤
They are strong and healthy people.
Such a beautiful story, you brought a piece of land back to life in a different way. Instead of growing all vegetables you grew your life as a family which is priceless. You should be very proud (which you are I’m sure) it’s an amazing space and you have designed it for your needs. Commendable ❤
Wow, what a blessing! So much love was put into this home and property and to hear the backstory makes me love the Positano Diaries even more. Everyone had a little piece of making this place into what it is today and to think it now has people from all over the world admiring this little piece of paradise. Thank you for sharing the story!
Reminds me growing up in South Africa with my Italian dad. All my friends gardens had beautiful flower beds and decorative bushes. We had 20 nectarine trees and rosemary bushes everywhere.
Bravo! xoxoox
You have added so much more value to this property, transforming it from a simple peasant hut to a beautiful villa, thanks to Nicki's ideas and Carlo;s hard work.
That's a little extreme: peasant hut. It was a beautiful typical Italian small home. With the wood and tiles. Far from a 'peasant hut'. Wow.
Holly as a pup, soooo sweet! Fun to see how you transformed it into your own place.
This was such a beautiful story and it was amazing to see the before and after photos! You really do have your own abundant paradise! Sending lot's of love and light to you guys! 🙏🏻💞✨
I can't imagine how it would be to have to leave such an absolutely beautiful place. I love it because it's so down to earth beautiful not phony looking but real and so so gorgeous. But I'm 80 years old and I do understand how sometimes and someday walking that many steps will not be a possibility. I send you many blessings for your search for your future home.
What a lovely way to spend a slice of my Sunday morning! Wow! You’ve created an absolutely stunning home, and the property is just beautiful. It takes vision and hard work to create what you have, and you should be so proud. I appreciate your sharing all the details. We moved to the rural mountains nearly 5 years ago, and while we don’t have every convenience at our fingertips, we are so happy to be here. I appreciate your talent and creativity. Be well. 💜🇺🇸🌵
It's my Sunday ritual too!☕
Two creative minded people creating such a beautiful space. It’s so warm and welcoming. Everything you have done is just so amazing!
Thank you for sharing the history of your home, you both should be proud of what you’ve accomplished. It’s a beautiful piece of Italian paradise ❤.
Your home and gardens are beautiful! Even more special since Carlos and his brother redid it…of course from Nicki’s vision…I cannot imagine that beautiful property sitting abandoned and unloved for 13 years
Wow! What a transformation and what a beautiful home and garden you have created. It reflects both your creativity and warm personalities, a real extension of who you both are as people. Thank you so much for the very interesting story and before and after photos! I am sure when the time eventually comes it will be so hard to leave your paradise in the hills of Positano. 🌻🌴xx
It doesn’t matter where you make your home in the future, you and Carlo are such workers that you’ll make a really cute home and garden, it will take time but worth it. We love watching all your videos for the past 3 years so much!!! Thanks so much for being so fun, interesting and genuine! Much love from St. Louis, Missouri
All that hard work has turned your house into a beautiful home for your family. So cozy and inviting.
What a wonderful story to your home. Loved listening to you guys tell it. It looks so beautiful and lush. All your hard work paid off. 🏡😊❤️
You have worked hard for this paradise!!!👏👏👏 I wish you good health and happiness!!! Love from Greece 🇬🇷❤️❤️👏👏🇮🇹🇬🇷🇮🇹🇬🇷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹💐💐
All becomes clear! :) Thank you for sharing your history in the house and gardens and how the entire family's priorities shaped the property over time. Your little piece of paradise is all the more beautiful for the love and care you have planted there.
Thanks for sharing your story about how you & Carlo took the property from nothing into a beautiful home/oasis. What a difference a can of paint can make! Now that you remodeled the kitchen, it's even better. The front garden area is so peaceful & soothing. Have a great week. Ciao!
Another fascinating video. I've always wondered how this all came to be. Carlo I will say this Nicki has shaped you up! You were a bloody mess...LOL! You both have really invested a lot of time and effort to make this house your home. Bring back the chickens! Two weeks from today, without any effort on my part, I'll be 91. Un abbraccio forte a due!
Yes David you're damn right, Nicki has improved my property, and my life in every aspect! We give you lots of early wishes on your 91 birthday, hoping it's the best ever!😁😅😘💕
@@NickiPositano Thanks Carlo and Nicki!
My great grandma, who was Irish, was exactly like your father. Flowers were only for attracting bees, to pollinate, and grass was anathema, if it wouldn't support a cow - utter waste! You have a beautiful home in a stunning location. Thanks for sharing.
That’s what I love about you guys, you’re so real in a plastic world. Thank you for sharing the amazing transformation and background story with us..we are so lucky to have you share your lives with us! God bless ❤️
I could listen to you two talk for hours. I have ADHD and it's hard for me to sit down and pay attention but I managed to do it with this video. I love hearing about your memories and how you all worked together to build a home. ❤
Thank you Nicki and Carlo. I live at the base of Mt Hood in Oregon on 7 acres of cherries that we hand planted 20 years ago. I so enjoy that you share your lives with us and although I have visited Positano many times, I see it with so much more love through your eyes. Thank you!
You are living in God's country too. Possibly Hood River???
@@pamelasprings6723 Yes, just 15 miles south toward the mountain. Are you in California?
@@janiebratt8826 No I am in WA State but I lived in Rhododenderon once. From OR.
@@pamelasprings6723 Ha! That's great. I also lived in Rhododendron for a year...way back
@@janiebratt8826 Cool I lived there in 1992-95 commuted to Portland every day.
I see lots and lots of hard work. It was definitely a team project. How kind of your dad, Carlo, to let you build a beautiful home to raise your family. So blessed.
You live in paradise and if I lived there I would NEVER leave this dream like home. You both are very fortunate to have this so keep this treasure forever!! Thank you for letting me into your home to see beauty and peace that not too many people have. I was in Amalfi many years ago and want to go back, and actually living there would be a dream come true. Gracie.
It probably felt satisfying to do all of the planning and updating yourselves, including Skye's wants. A house on a hill, the steps, the different levels of the land, the views, and the cozy spaces seem so romantic to me.
Fantastic job on the house a paradise feast for the eyes wonderful plants l would love to live there I love the bed you put in the garden a truly amazing place well done
Niki and Carlo, I look forward to these videos every Sunday. Beautiful home and garden..love the greenery. Holly and Indi are so lovable. Thank you both for sharing your home and life with us. Much appreciated.
This was a great video...one of your best, as far as we're concerned...seeing how the property has evolved over the years, transforming from an abandoned place into the lush home you now have, was wonderful. Please take good care of yourselves, and don't think about moving! Thanks again for bringing us into your lives!
What a John Miguel said. Before you ever consider moving permanently, try out the town for one month (if you can take it). There's so much about your home that would be irreplaceable - hello! THE VIEW!! ( and needless to say, your family and friends) -that you could NOT get back if you found out you were unhappy in a new place. Thank you for the history of your beautiful home. 💓 from Magnolia, Texas!
@@sherryelliott8861 Hello Sherry! I totally agree...I think Carlo and Nicki are thinking long range, about the steps they will eventually not be able to handle, just as his father before him...but that decision would be 'way in the future as they are both young yet...have you seen Carlo's dad's place in some of the videos? He and his wife still live in the area, in a house that looks like its very hard to get to...but still a great place, with views forever, a small garden, and room to move around...maybe Nivki and Carlo will do something like that down the road. We're in a house up here on Monte Castellaccio, outside of Lucca, in pretty much the same situation. One of these days we'll have to make a decision about getting up and down this mountain..but for now, we'll love the views, the privacy, and all our wild creatures! Welcome to Italy!
I really love it when Carlo speaks Italian- it really helps me to understand more in the language. A few years ago I came to Italy and fell in love. I can’t stop thinking about it and I continue to learn the language. So, having Carlo speak helps immensely. Plus I absolutely love your gardens. You have everything one needs. Watching your videos helps me to feel like I’m still there.Great video. Tyfs. Linda C., usa
This was great fun! Makes me want to pull out our "before" pics and see just what we've done over the years. 💝
Thank you so much for sharing the story of your home, Nicki and Carlo! And I love your drone shots, Carlo. It was a treat to see Itty Bitty Kitty at the end. 🥰
So sweet how she was watching the drone.
Nicki-your beautiful videos always bring me to tears. You have such a way with words and your editing and music are always so brilliantly done. Thank you for your heart warming content. And if you EVER find a way to have your books published or even the new e-book you mentioned with stories and recipes-you have a repeat Patron customer right here! I absolutely loved the last recipe collection that you & Elisabeth put out. Thank you and Carlo both for sharing your beautiful corner of the world. ❤️
Hi Jenn Carlo here, thank you very much!😁💕😘
Congrats for the 9 year improvements. It is a completly different house. It's a cosy home. I laugh about Carlos's father saying "you don't eat grass" My family is from a small village in rural Portugal and the elders relatives also says that. They've been through many difficulties so land is almost sacred because at least let you eat something. Thank you for your videos, Nicky
My favourite episode from you so far! So inspiring and the transformation of the house it's to say least remarkable! A house that any of us would wish to have and live in! Stunning! You had the vision and made it a reality! I saw the reel on Insta which had millions of views, I guess that says it all!
In Southern California where I was born housing is insanely expensive. For average people one of the few ways available to get a decent home is to inherit it or purchase from another family member. I wish we still had our family home in Ohio. My grandfather built it in the 70's with so many happy memories. Sadly there was a falling out after his death which forced its sale. Lovely to hear your story.
All of the incredibly hard work that went into building your home is part of the story of your time on this earth. What a well-written story about what vision and dedication can accomplish in one lifetime. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creation with the world.
What a beautiful transformation!!! ❤❤❤
What a wonderful history you have-- relationship and house wise! Lots of hard work for both 💪 💪 I do the same- buy one or two plants and then divide! It is wonderful to see you both relaxed and happy 😊 Sending you love from Georgia, USA 🇺🇸 ❤️
This video was great content, appreciate you made this, really enjoyed watching it and learning what a positive outlook can do. what touched my heart at the end was when the drone was landing, in the last shot we saw Itty Bitty Kitty, and inspite of being blind he looked at the drone exactly like he would with eyes that he could actually see. doesn't he amaze you and move you? he's so alive!
Family history, house history, stories that say so much about your life in Positano ... thank you! When it comes time to move, that could a video on its own!
I think your home is stunning! I can’t imagine ever moving but as I age I can see that 500 steps to the road would definitely be a problem. I am so happy you now have your home in Tuscany.
I'm so glad to get to see how it all started for you guys. I remember the first video i saw. I saw you guys planting your own vegetables and i was amazed by that. Here we buy everything. Since then i am so enjoying Positano and Italy through your lenses. Kudos for you guys in turning the house into this beautiful masterpiece👍🏼 And as always, looking forward to many videos!
I really enjoyed this one. Looks like you live in a vacation home. ❤️ of course there is the reality of actually living there. You both have built a truly beautiful, cozy home. You’re very talented....both of you. Thank you for sharing. 😘
I loved todays episode, if I were younger I would move to Italy and build my own house too. Carlo doesn’t like to speak English because he thinks he’s terrible at it but when he speaks in English I understand him very well. I wish I was able to speak Italian as bad as he thinks he speaks English. I long to travel and visit Italy but in the meantime your channel is what keeps me satisfied. Thank you for always sharing your life with us. Salute da Napoli, Florida wbere we are preparing for a big hurricane. ❤️❤️❤️
Yeahhhh...but it's nice the 'italianità' which comes with Carlo speaking Italian. Mi piace moltissimo👏👏👏♥️
how wonderful to be able to breathe and have a home and express your self,life, desires
Your home is so charming that I had to watch this video twice! Carlo and his brother did a beautiful job originally and the two of you have added the updated touches that are so delicious. Bravo! Bellissima!
❤❤❤ you make Sunday my favorite day of the week!!
I love you guys. You have given everyone an excellent example of how to turn something into a work of art with hard work. I should show my students this video! Thank you both so much for your sunshine. And thank Carlo's dad for buying the property in the 80's. 💖😃
Thanks for sharing this story with us Nicki and Carlos, You’ve put a lot of hard work in this beautiful home and what it has become. I’m sure your father must be very proud.
Awwwwwwww sweethearts You 2 are SOOOOOOOOO romantic I loved your fairy story 😊💗 Carlo has much more English than I have Italian Your whole family are magic
You've made it a lovely home and it's so nice that you share it with us. Love and Blessings from Colorado, USA
Love the Cat ❤. She’s a doll ! Amazing how she gets around being blind
And no exaggeration, you guys created something really special. Credit to you.
Thank you for sharing how your beautiful home came to be. And building it from the very beginning of just being a garden property was so.much work. Your family is so talented and determined to do anything. Blessings on your day.
You two are so very very generous sharing your life with us. I love you both to bits, even although I’ve never met you. What a great brother Luca is and I’m so glad your Dad let go, a wee bit in the end. God bless you all xx
Loved this video. The blue door is a favorite, the arches are so inviting. The plant with the white flowers to the side of Carlo is stunning. You two are such a a cute couple.😊
Hello Nicki and Carlo! I've been reading the comments and we're all so happy to hear you tell us how you made this property your home....so interesting. You sure have put in a lot of time and energy to make it the wonderful place it's become. It's great to see you share your outdoor eating area with your friends so often and the produce from your gardens! Love to see the transformation of your kitchen recently, the new garden entrance door Carlo made....such exciting changes! Thanks so much for this great video! Niagara Falls Canada.
Nicki and Carlo, They are the best- I’m also from the Falls, actually NOTL, but close enough…
@@lynnsawatzky3272 Hi Lynn..yes, we're close! Great site isn't it? Hopefully we can all start travelling again. Thanks for the shout-out!
The work you put in over the years is amazing. Your home and gardens are just beautiful! ❤️
You have done such a nice job making your garden so beautiful! Now you can sit back and admire what you both have accomplished. Well done!🤗❤️
I've followed you for about seven years (I think) and have seen all the work you've done...just beautiful! Your garden is an inspiration for what is like to do in my own. The kitchen reno is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your life with us! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story! We live in Spain and our garden has been a labour of love over the past few years. It's a big garden and had a very British layout with lawns that completely die off in the summer. we have changed it to a courtyard garden with lots of potted plants that are native to our area, some bought, some cuttings from friends and some bin finds which need a little TLC !!! If you put your mind to it you can achieve anything !!!
This was so interesting! I'm at the beginning of updating my husband's childhood home and it is getting overwhelming. This was so encouraging! Thanks!
What a great transformation, especially when you think every last brick and every sack of cement travelled down those 500 steps ... they must have been bloody crazy !!! But hat's off to them it is a beautiful property with a wonderful garden and a view to die for !!! Wishing you many more happy years there !!!
Poor donkeys
Your videos are wonderful and it’s so nice to watch you both laughing at each other .I’m a nurse in Naples Florida and look so forward to watching your videos in the evening. You capture such beautiful scenery and the food and gardens are inspiring.Much Love and Many Blessings to you ALL 🌴 ❤️
You are NOT lucky! You are blessed! You have created an OASIS on a mountain and it is BEAUTIFUL! Never stop REACHING for it - you are AMAZING! ❤😘🤗
Absolutely inspiring! Thank you for sharing. It is soooo beautiful. Hugs from New York City!
The love of a father who gave land to his son. Then the love of a man who built a house for his bride and his daughter. You have both built a great life. You have blossomed on the hills of POSITANIO. THANKYOU once again for giving us a peek at your paradise. Cheers from canada
@Marjorie: a lovely sentiment Marjorie but I think you missed the part where Carlo built the house because he was going to be married to his first wife, not Nicki(unless you were referring to the renovation). I'm happy for them to have built(renovated) such a lovely place and a life together but my heart often goes out to Carlo's son Tomasso, his son from his first marriage, who must have felt(and perhaps still does) deeply conflicted to see his father build a new life with a woman that his father left his mother for, in the house that he, Tomasso, grew up in. That can't be easy. Hopefully, time heals the wound and he has built good memories with his step mom and sister.
Nikki said Carlos fathe
Carlos father still owns the land. Nikki says he allows them still to live there.
I think your home is a complete slice of heaven & would love to live there!
When I first started watching your videos I loved it because the first video I watched was of Carlo making the new gate. I thought it was so cool. I love how he would find something laying around and create something new. I wish I could be as creative and handy. I also love your door, it got me painting my door. The garden is beautiful and an inspiration but I'm still working on it. I have to say I love watching Luca and you all planting and then harvesting. I'm one happy subscriber. Thank you for sharing and I'm looking forward to more great videos.
You, my dears, own a gorgeous little piece of paradise! We should all be so lucky to live in such a breathtaking location. I adore everything about your home, specially the outside spaces with the garden, plants, trees, flowers, pergolas, greenhouse, every little nook and cranny has something special. It is truly a gem in one of the most amazing places in the world. With the limited space available in Positano, you have truly made the most of this beautiful home! Please, please enjoy it for the rest of us for as long as you are able to! I think I speak for all of us when I say I am SO JEALOUS! It’s hard for me to believe some people are lucky enough to visit there, let alone spend their lives there! I live in Atlantic Canada where it’s freezing cold six months of the year! 🥶 If ever you feel like switching, let me know! :) Love your vlogs! 🇮🇹❤️
You two created a really beautiful home- the sleeping lofts were a fantastic idea and the white wash and wood floor really gave the place a fresh cottage feel. And the gardens- flowers and vegetables- along with the pool and the outdoor bed are really a beautiful outdoor oasis on the side of the mountain.
I love that Carlo and his family built the house! It’s such a beautiful house and property. ❤️
A true labor of love! I think your property with that garden and view is priceless!
I love the backstory of how your house came to be. When Carlos’s dad bought the land back in the 80’s…..that was such a great idea. The planting and harvesting of what was and is planted must give you great joy. I on the other hand do not have a green thumb. Any time I’m given a plant, flower, etc. I tend to kill it. 😳 I’ve even killed succulents! 🙄 Like how does that happen??? 😂 It’s amazing that you have carved out a piece of heaven on your property. The house and gardens are beautiful and the view…stunning! 🥰 I can’t imagine going up and down those stairs on a daily basis (I have bad knees); however, that is some serious exercise in my opinion. Who needs to run or go to a gym??? I was surprised, in a way, you mentioned about moving at some point. I hope you keep the property for your daughter and extended family if possible. What a treasure to have! Blessings 🙏
This was so fun to see and hear the story of the house and history!! Whenever I hear about all those steps I think of our visit in Vernazza, we had a gorgeous view of the sea and wondered how the people living there could live with all those steps-that room was 66 steps. That’s just a warm up for you! Thought others might get a laugh about that. 😂
That kiss at the start was so sweet. You two have built such a beautiful life together - thank you for sharing it with us ❤️
I’ve been really enjoying your Tuscan home renovation videos and stumbled across this one , I don’t know how I missed it!! Nothing like resting on a Sunday afternoon watching you both working so hard 😊
I loved hearing the history of your place! I've always wondered how your home came to be, since you've mentioned it briefly in the past. What an incredible haven you've created for yourselves and for your family and friends to enjoy. I don't want to say you are lucky, because this was a lot of work and it didn't just fall into your laps, but you are so fortunate to live in such a gorgeous place. Bravo on all your efforts! We all love to escape to your home!
This was a wonderful video! I loved seeing the old photos, how the house and garden took shape and Carlo's father's response to planting grass and flowers (and THAT explained why we see so much veg and fruit being grown wherever people can find space.....I always wondered about that.....WOW....And you built it all yourselves...just amazing. Nicki and Carlo.....thank you for the history lesson, I so enjoyed traveling back in time with you ....those photos were just priceless. xoxo Suzi
Wow, such a stunning, creative and eco-friendly transformation. Can’t wait to see your creativity into your new Tuscan house, so you can call it HOME as soon as possible!
I absolutely loved the video today and you answered all of the questions I had about where, when, and how. I’ve always said necessities are the mother of inventions. There was a need and Carlo being a whiz at projects is a genius. I know Luca helped along with you Nikki but to have a husband who is talented and even more importantly willing to do the work is such a gift! You two are such a gift to your subscribers and whenever you move please take all of us along with you. Your videos make my Sundays full of pleasure.
How different to hear about the development of your home.As an ex-builder I am aware of the amount of work involved in refurbishing the property and getting it to a way you both enjoy and feel at home in. Even better a record of before and after which allows you to see the progress and home as it was and now. Well done, I loved seeing and hearing of your effort and attainments.
You did a GREAT job!! The house is perfect and the gardens are beautiful 🤩 so livable, apart from all those stairs😬but while you are still young MORE POWER TO YOU!!!
Its interesting to watch these old videos discussing finding another home. Here you thought you couldn't afford Tuscany.And now having a property in Tuscany
You are an amazing couple, love to hear your stories, from the past, today an tomorrow. Your love for each other, your family and friends is inspiring.
This was so wonderful for you to share this ..I love the old pics🥰
