Tales From Tuscany | Italy and Beyond
Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 20 มี.ค. 2013
Tales From Tuscany was born from LOVE...love for my father's birthplace Italy and LOVE for my new "amore", my husband David, who I married in July of 2023.
As a writer, I have always loved to share my passions for creativity, art, words, music, movement and travel.
Many of you may remember me from my adventures in France and my best selling memoirs ... well since then, my life has taken major detours!
At over 60, and during the global pandemic, I embarked upon this extraordinary Italian adventure with my beautiful love, David and together we will show you that anything is possible if you just dream, have courage and follow your passions, no matter what.
So join us on our new "passion project" deep within the Pisan Hills of Tuscany and beyond!
"I write to live...I live to travel...I travel to discover...I discover to learn...I learn to share...I share to love" Marisa Raoul c 2008
Andiamo...Let's go!
Baci e abbracci

AUGUST IN TUSCANY - HOW SUMMER IN A SMALL VILLAGE FEELS
BUONGIORNO lovely friends and viewers!
Welcome to "Tales from Tuscany"!
We are Marisa and David, Australian expats now living part-time in Chianni Tuscany.
During the Global Pandemic, we decided to buy our Italian dream home, sight unseen and with no prior knowledge of the area.
This is our journey and we are taking you along with us!
TODAY'S VLOG...A REAL MISH-MASH of my summer alone here in Chianni.
As a "part time" solo resident, I want to show you the authentic side of village life and how it feels at times to be alone in a small village with no transport, working from home with no company for days on end and what seems to be a million issues to remedy alone.
It's not all sunshine and roses but it teaches you resilience, determination and in our case, makes our bond even stronger. We will get there...I just know it!
As always, we hope you enjoy the time you spend with us, as much as we love having you with us!
Love and hugs...
Baci ed abbracci :D
Marisa and David xoxoxo

LA DOLCE VITA IN TUSCANY PLUS A VERY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT...WHERE ARE WE HEADED NOW?
I did not hear from you so i thought i would check back, i realized i made a comment and then forgot to post it. I was about 2 hours late and missed another premier . I really enjoyed the lovely video and the beautiful cafe next to the gym. The ceilings were magnificent! You are doing so much better on your feet than you're a few months ago. I hope things won't be gloomy for you, i know you miss David. I hope to see the next premier soon, take care and God bless.
Hi Marisa,it’s excellent you can get to the physio and Spa baths to assist healing of your leg injury. 😊You’ll soon be with your beloved David again.,back in Australia 🇦🇺.1 Peter 5:7 Amplified Version Tells us casting all your cares on Jesus [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully! 😢😊Thankfully Your renovation is progressing its coming along.Love your cute truck !I watched Andrea Botcelli in Portofina on TH-cam Cheers from 🇦🇺 👌🤚✅
Ciao Wendy! Thank you so much for all your lovely thoughts, prayers and caring. I’m very grateful and yes it’s so wonderful that I’m so close to the terme and can receive such great help for my injuries. Counting the days now until I see my beautiful David again. Sending hugs your way Wendy ♥️🥰🙏🏼🤗🌹
🤗❤️🙏🏻🌺
Thank you Angela 🥰♥️🤗🙏🏼
I'm so glad you share the ups and downs. It's easy to see how beautiful everything is and forget that renovations and being away from family can be a real challenge. Thank you for sharing your time us 😊
Thank you so much for understanding and caring! I truly appreciate your lovely thought and support. 🥰♥️🤗🙏🏼🌹
What a beautiful view you have. I understand how you feel. I to have been dealing with medical issues. It can be hard when there no one to talk too. Stay positive 😊
Oh thank you so much for your kind words Linda. I truly appreciate them and hope that you also improve very soon! Thank you and stay well...sending hugs 🥰🤗💖🙏
@@talesfromtuscany thank you😊
Lovely vlog. Thank you Marisa.❤
Thank you very much Fabiana...so kind of you 🥰🤗💖
Sending you a big hug and all my good energy and I hope days like that one will not come soon again. The video was lovely and I enjoyed to see your dear Ape, hopefully next year you are going to be able to drive it and have wonderful rides around 🤗 Take care of you Marisa 🤗😘
Ciao Nelly and thank you so much! You're always such a kind and gentle soul and I appreciate your words so much. David and I both appreciate your generous support both here and elsewhere! Sending bug hugs your way 🥰🤗😘💖🙏
@@talesfromtuscany ♥️💐
@@willowhome 🫶🏼🥰♥️
Hi Marisa, I did feel sad for you that you really had a bad day struggling so much. I must have missed watching a video somewhere as I always see David with you where you probably mentioned that he had to leave for a while. Why did he have to go overseas? Is everything OK. I do hope so. And yes I bet you do miss your mum and worry about her being OK.
Ciao Sasa and thank you for your lovely thoughts! Yes David left over a month ago after our trip to England, so I’ve been on my own for a while renovating and taking care of my health issues. We still share our time between here and Australia so this is the same each year. You probably have missed quite a few videos if you weren’t away of this but that’s just our reality first now. Thank you for caring and for your support! 🥰♥️🤗🙏🏼🌹
Thank you for your lovely video, Marisa. It's funny, but just before you showed your sad story, I kind of felt the loneliness and the absence you feel from being away from David, having spent so much time together over the last months. It's hard to try and deal with life on your own. And of course, it's hard to be away from mum. I know that feeling oh so well. Howeve, you soldier on as we all have to in life whether good or bad.. it's great that you have such a good community and that you have some fun times. Nice to see that your home is coming together. Sending you a hug and much love. Take care 😊❤🌹💐
Awww thank you so much lovely Janet. Yes I think I'm feeling the absence of those I love so much more this year. Between Mum not being 100%, David and I being so far apart and my injury still not permitting to live as I wish, it's all been a lot on top of daily decisions, planning etc. Just a lot on and no one to share the load with. As you said, we move forward despite all those things because we are doing it for those we love as well as ourselves. I'm proud of what I've achieved despite the hiccups and I'm so grateful to you and all our gorgeous followers for the tremendous support and love you show us. Thank you and big hugs back to you! 🥰🤗😘💖🙏
Won't be long before you are with David again and the both of you will return to your beloved Chianni together. Loved today's vlog, the street dinner and your bus travels showing the beautiful Valdera region. Hugs and kisses and feel free to give us a buzz if you need some cheer me up. 🥰😘💛
Awww...that's so sweet of you Anna! I've been down lately and am changing my flights home. Thank you so much for your kindness and support, I'm so pleased that you love our little life and beautiful surrounds. It truly is very special indeed. I might take you up on that phone call soon. Sending baci ed abbracci your way 🤗🥰💖😘😘
Marisa you are a beautiful soul. Sorry to see you feel down and fully understand why ,I too moved to Malta years ago would feel desperately sad at times and lonely but then the sun is out a few friends words and I finally settled . Sending hugs
Ciao Catrina and thank you so much for your beautiful uplifting words. I totally understand your feelings and it’s very tough at times but as you said we, who always look for the silver lining, eventually work things out. Sending hugs your way! 🥰🙏🏼🤗♥️🌹
Hi Marisa, I just wanted to say that I enjoy your vlogs and it’s so beautiful to see your takes of Tuscany. I glad you shared how you felt and everyone understands that life is not always perfect. You’re doing so well with your rehab work after your fall. Jeri smiling and know that you are amazing. Sending love Ciao ❤
Ciao Kathryn and thank you so much for your kind words of support and kindness. I’m so grateful to all you lovely people out there who have sent me messages of kindness … sending hugs! 🥰♥️🙏🏼🤗🌹
Marisa, I am sending you a huge big bear hug. When your loved ones are not close to see and hear and feel it is very challenging in itself. On top of that, everything else. I know that feeling oh so well. I try to do the best I can and all of the rest I give to God! We definitely do all have those days. Your town is beautiful. The flat town really speaks to me. I am so glad you had some outings for meals with friends. Yes, that ceiling was stunning. I think the boys are making great progress. I am also happy you guys got a little rain.we had a few thunder and lightning storms followed by heavy rain that pelted down all night. Our storms knocked out our power twice. We live in a huge city. Our place is so quiet at night, you can hear a pindrop. I am happy to hear your therapy sessions are helping you. Say hi to David. We miss him too. Prayers for your mom's health.❤
Awww Peter that's so very kind of you and I'm so very grateful. It's so healing to have the words of others who understand and sympathise...thank you! I will definitely pass on your wishes to David and mum! I'm glad that the little things like me sharing my daily life and explaining the benefits of the other towns, are of value to you. I sometimes worry that I don't share enough of those little things and I'm glad they count. Sending hugs back to you! 🥰💙🤗🙏
With that many rooms, does it make sense to have a treadmill in a bedroom? That tiny bedroom would make a lovely walk-in closet. It appears to be adjoining a bedroom.
Yes indeed...you would hardly need the extra exercise LOL anyway it's a stunning and large home with plenty of space to create whatever you like. Small rooms could definitely be converted to walk-in wardrobes and ensuites if required. I love this home and am surprised that it's still on the market! Thanks so much for watching 🥰🤗🙏
Cara Marisa. My heart ♥️ went out to you on today’s vlog. I just wanted to give you a big warm hug. 🤗 It’s clear that your positive vibes shine through as was the case when I saw your beautiful smile the next day. 💋 It will be so special when you are reunited with David and when you are back spending time with your beloved mum. Sending love and support. Sandi xxxx
You’re so kind and sweet Sandi…always omnipresent and caring. Thank you so much for your friendship and support as always. I’m going to be just fine and will always pull through this dips and troughs in the road. Just missing David so badly this time around as I’m a little more vulnerable this year with my injuries. Things will sort out and I just keep on smiling. Thank you my sweet … sending hugs 🥰♥️🤗🌹💋🫶🏼
🤗 🥰
Thank you ♥️🥰🙏🏼
I admire your courage to acknowledge your bad days and share that with us. Making your videos and letting us see the beauty of your sweet town is a wonderful way to heal your heart when feeling overwhelmed and missing those you love. Seeing 300 people eating pasta and chatting with each other was so charming. There are many more good days to live for and we are here to help you while you help us enjoy your tours. Thank you.❤
That’s exceedingly kind of you and thank you so much for your support and always being here! I’m so glad you enjoy experiencing my daily life with me … that’s uplifting to me! Thank you so much 🤗♥️🥰🫶🏼💋🙏🏼
It is hard to be so far from loved ones. I hope you will be together again soon. That village dinner for 300 looked amazing! The passing scenery out the bus window is wonderful, and it's helpful to see that there are ways to get around without driving.
Thank you so much for your lovely words of support Finnigan. I really appreciate them and they make a difference! Yes… it’s a lovely community and we are blessed with great transport and facilities close by! Thank you♥️🥰🤗🙏🏼
Wow, congratulations to Marsha, acting on your dreams and buying a home in Italy! How extremely exciting! Let Marisa know when it's ready for b & b and maybe she'll put it on her channel and some of us subscribers will come stay. ❤
@@finniganyork9608 thanks so much for watching Finnigan. I’d be happy to share the finished home with you all if Marsha is willing. Thank you 🥰♥️🙏🏼🇮🇹
Thank you for sharing another beautiful experience. I’m thinking of you and I’m proud of you for pushing through. You’ve brought a lot of joy to many people. ❤❤
Thank you so much my darling. It’s tough at times and I just need to stop and work through things rather than letting myself feel overwhelmed. I love your friendship and support … thank you so much my friend ♥️🥰💋🤗🙏🏼🌹
Really enjoy your videos, yes even with a beautiful life we can still have up & down days especially when you are far from loved ones. In this modern world there always seems to be too much admin to deal with lol! Love Italy, been fortunate to visit a few times, such an amazing country and community togetherness that you’ve become part of. Watching from NZ.
Thank you so much Diane 🥰 it’s so kind of you to reach out and thank you so much for your support 🥰♥️🙏🏼🤗💋
Your English sounds like music to me, lovely ❤
That’s so lovely! Thank you so much 🥰♥️🤗🙏🏼
Ciao cara, Grazie! Another great video Marisa. Sending you lots of love and I hope you have a great day. 🙏🥰
Thank you so much Liliana … I’m getting there and am so grateful of all the lovely support I receive. Thank you ♥️🤗💋🥰🙏🏼
Ciao Tesoro Mio only one thing to say. I LOVE YOU ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love you too Amore mio … miss you every moment 🥰♥️🫶🏼🌹💋💋💋💋💋
This is beautiful! I just found this channel, Marisa I didn't realize you had this channel also. I'm going to look at all these properties you have on here. Honestly I am looking for something cheaper like you what found your friend on your other channel a few days ago. This would be a holiday home for me with hopes to move there full time.
I'm so happy that you found my other playlist and are enjoying the homes. I am going to filming some others soon, however I do offer a Property Finding service (which is how Marsha found me) and that's how I found her property. You're always welcome to email me on residenzatoscana@proton.me for further details of my services. Thanks so much for joining me here! 🥰🤗🙏
Hello Marcia, thank you for opening up and for being so honest and frank. You are human after all and when you miss your loved ones it makes it so much more difficult 😞 emotionally. Try not to keep yourself isolated as I think you are trying not to by going out which is a good sign. I was wondering why David was not around have I missed something? I don’t understand why he’s not with you. I am not asking for you to explain. Don’t get me wrong. That’s your business. Remember what you are feeling is temporary and this too shall pass. You are weathering the storm right now within your own being. The lack of community can be very difficult. I know I’ve travelled and lived in different places in Canada from the East Coast of Canada to the West Coast of Canada and I relate with you. I got over it by meditating, it has helped me come to a place of peaceful acceptance. Maybe this is the time to start writing your book. Check on your vitamin D3 levels, the lack of it can create mood swings and depression. I highly recommend it ciao, Bella. 💞💐🌈
Thank you so much for all your care and kindness! I’m so grateful. I have lived alone so many times during my life but this seems to be the hardest as I miss David so much when we are separated by work/life circumstances. I take vitamin D everyday and have done for years … it’s a wonderful vitamin! I know I’ll get through this and make the right decision in the end. It’s just been a massive year and I’m still healing mentally & physically so it has taken its toll on me. Thank you once again .. it means a lot to me ♥️🫶🏼🥰🙏🏼🤗💋
I love your video this week, I love how you give the details of such things as the bus stop and where to stand, and where you can find it as well as all the different shops in those towns. I do enjoy all these details in your videos, all the nature scenes, just every little thing I feel like I am living the life in Italy through you through your eyes. I see what I wanna see as well. I’m sorry you will feeling under the weather, I know it’s not fun, especially as you explained you have more money going in then coming out, boy do I know that feeling. Hopefully it will get better, and I truly hope that one day I will find a home in these towns around you because I love that area especially the spa town, I’m a spa person. I love the thermal water so I definitely have that on my list to lift somewhere where I can jump on the bus and go to thermal pool. I’m hoping one day once you start renting your little place that you are restoring that I can come over and stay there for a while especially when your husband is gone so you won’t feel so alone !
Awww Christine! It sounds like this area would suit you so well. Thank you so much for your continued support and kindness… it’s so appreciated. I hope our little apartment will be ready and if it is, I will definitely get you know. Sending hugs ♥️🥰🙏🏼🤗💋🌹
It’s okay if you have a bad day, it gives you time to reflect on your life and loves. Are you in a Book Club? Writing is your passion, so you could start an expat one, even if it’s online with other utubers. You would be so wonderful in discussions and would offer inspiration to others. All the best…Take care, you have lots of friends out there. 🤗💐
Thank you so much Lynn. Your thoughts were very comforting and your idea for a book club is an excellent idea! Thank you for suggesting it 🥰♥️🤗🙏🏼💋
Buongiorno amica mia. You've done so well getting through hot Agosto. Understandably you've had some difficult challenges & thanks so much for sharing. You do bounce back though & look for beautiful & positive things & places to share with us. So hats off to you. I love the community spirit you have there with the long table fiestas etc. Nothing quite like it here but there are lots of events of all kinds, just different because its a bigger city. I can't wait to experience it but not sure what will be on in the different places I'm visiting. Your cantina is really taking shape too. We're getting lovely spring weather now, seems like its returning to the beautiful Gold Coast weather I havent seen for ages. Last few years was quite changeabe. Anyway we soldier on don't we & know you have some prizes & surprises ahead. Ciao my darling Marisa, love you🧡🧡🧡🎶🎶🎶💃💃💃🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Thank you as always for all your love, support and friendship my sweet. I know I’m blessed and I know I will get through this dip, as I always do. You have so much excitement ahead… I’m so happy for you! Such a wonderful adventure you’re on. Thank you so much my sweet … sending love ♥️🥰🙏🏼🤗💋🌹🫶🏼
You live in such a beautiful place. The rolling hills, the charming houses. Stunning. But life has it's ups and downs, I appreciate your honesty. Not always easy having the nearest family so far away. 🙏 Must be a great social event, having dinner together in the nice streets of Chianni. Your Ape is cute! Looking forward to see you driving around next year, when your leg/foot is healed! 👍Hugs 🐝🌺❤
You’re absolutely right Joan…loneliness is a real thing when the ones you truly love are far away. I’m plodding on and will get past that as I always do. I know I’m blessed with so many other things and I focus on those as best as I can. Thank you for your continual support 🥰♥️🙏🏼🤗💋
Lovely to share your beautiful Village life, that's why I watch your vlog as you always put us in the picture on how life really is. We all have days like the one you experienced, but the sun will always be present underneath the clouds. XXX
You’re so right Linda. I’m so glad you’ve joined us and thank you so much for your lovely and kind thoughts. ♥️🥰💋🤗🙏🏼
Lovely Marisa❣ I know this special hours or a day too, when tears are running and I feel lonely (having no family) 😥. But you Marisa, are also a positive person, heartfelt, funny - you're simply adorable. David loves you, and so Marisa, look forward to your reunion 😘 When will you flight back to Sydney, when will you return next year? Is there a posibility to rent your ground floor-room for two weeks or one month next spring (~April/May/June)? Ciao, adorabile Marisa; ti abbracio forte - Sabine🇦🇹
Ciao Sabine! You’re always so kind and generous … thank you so much my lovely, your beautiful words are always so welcome and healing. We hope that the downstairs apartment will be ready for next spring but we aren’t certain . I will definitely make sure you know if it is. Sending big hugs ♥️🥰🌹🤗🙏🏼💋
@@talesfromtuscany ❤ 🙋🏼♀️
Ciao Marisa, I love you kept the small window, it is coming along, your workers are amazing. I am so sorry David isn't with you, it does make problem solving and decision making seem so much harder, and that can be so overwhelming. As you say "respira e basta", everything will work out as it should. It's always a good day when pasta is part of it. Get yourself all back to 100% before heading back, with Italy affording you the treatment you need. The spa center looks really nice. I just love your Ape, she is cute, and I would miss her too. Stay strong. Tanto amore da N.Y.
Thank you so much for keeping me company in the chat room Joni! It really cheered me up! You’re so kind and I appreciated your lovely words so much. You’re right about healing before I leave … it’s a real dilemma as I’m keen to go now because I miss David so much. I’ll keep chatting to him and we will work something out. Thank you so much for everything ♥️🥰🙏🏼💋🤗🌹
@@talesfromtuscany Prego, e un piacere.
.....and Yes Marisa....I am weird like that too.....I see things as being 'alive'.......but I wouldn't change that "for quids"....❤
Oh that’s so cute and makes me feel a lot better James! Thank you so much 🥰🫶🏼♥️
Some days are diamonds Marisa ....and some days are stone....I know exactly how you feel.....but no matter how good or bad something is....there is always an end....and tomorrow is another new day....love, James ❤❤
You’re so right James! I will loo at the beautiful blue Tuscan sky and count my blessings today. Thank you so much my lovely friend 🩵🥰🤗🙏🏼🫶🏼
Lovely gentle vlog & the sense of community is wonderful to see. Can't wait to be a part of it. ♥️♥️
You will one day soon be part of it too Phil! I can’t wait to have you and Toni here with us! I know you’ll slot straight in. Sending love ♥️🌹🙏🏼🥰💋
Hi Marisa, I really understand how you feel, I am in a similar situation in many ways...on those hard days I keep telling myself how lucky I am to have what I have (acceptance+gratitude+live in the present+trust the universe) but yes those down days come around don't they. The solitude at night is difficult for me. I also work from home but am in a lace that doesn't resonate. Something that keeps me going is my plan to move to Italy, starting with more trips! Take care and if I could fly over on a magic carpet and have a coffee with you, I would. You always see the beauty and this too shall pass (is another of my mantras). Thanks to you both for the wonderful delicious and realistic slices of life there 💚🤍❤️ #forza and all the best to you!!
Thank you so much for your kind and gentle words. I’m so grateful for your lovely support … best wishes to you ♥️🥰🤗💋
DOES A PLACE MAKE YOU HAPPY? OR IS IT YOU...AND HOW YOU FEEL WITHIN? In this episode I struggle with these questions as I become a little overwhelmed by the time spent alone, handling renovations, bills, health issues and family (on the other side of the world) ...Sometimes you just need to stop, breathe and take a new direction. Thank you so much for your support 🥰🤗😘
Your house renos are coming along beautifully, love the combination of stone and white ❤. I would stick to stucco 😊, what a beautiful area you live in. Never been to Tuscany definitely on my bucket list, ciao Bella alla prossima 😘
Thank you so much for your lovely and kind comments. We will definitely stay with the "organic" looking stucco as much as we can and I'm glad you like it. It's a lovely area here...so natural and peaceful. I'm pleased to hear you have it on your bucket list! Maybe we might meet one day. Grazie mille...alla prossima 🥰🤗😘
@@talesfromtuscany that would be lovely to meet up 🥰
What a wonderful home you found for Marsha! All good things come to those who wait. Well done to Marsha for taking the step and the courage to make the her dream life happen. Congratulations to Marsha and to you Marisa. This is a great testament to you. Have a lovely weekend tanti baci 😘😘😍

Ciao Marisa and Marsha. I do remember you. This was such a wonderful episode. I am also preparing for my retirement in Italy. So, this episode was really a push in the right direction. I love Marisa and David and their channel. It's nice to know that they are there to help with the navigation through the process. I hope we will be able to check in with Marsha once she is settled, buona fortuna a te. Thanks again Marisa. Tanto amore da N.Y.

I’m not one bit surprised that you found the perfect place for Marsha! You Marisa, are a “never say never” kinda girl, if there ever was one!
