Building a Life in Italy

Two Brits, four old stone buildings, one dream renovation in the Italian countryside.

Follow our journey as we turn these historic ruins into six beautiful holiday apartments, our forever home, and maybe a little bar where we can raise a glass of wine with our guests.

Meet the Dreamers

We're a British couple still working full-time UK jobs, but our hearts are already in Italy. We've bought four beautiful old stone buildings that we're slowly (and passionately) turning into a small self-catered holiday rental complex of six apartments, our new home, and eventually a welcoming bar/eatery for guests.

We do as much of the renovation ourselves, calling in skilled Italian builders only when official sign-off is required. This is our adventure — one brick, one sunset, one glass of wine at a time.

Our Italian Renovation Project

Four historic stone buildings. A complete transformation into a peaceful retreat in the heart of Italy. We renovate with love, respect for tradition, and a big dream of sharing this slice of la dolce vita with others.
