เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2023
Ciao! I'm Bella and I've created this channel to document the journey I'm going on as I return to live in Italy after moving to England as a child. I've picked the beautiful, green region of Abruzzo to start my mortgage-free life in the sun, surrounded by mountains, beautiful coastline and plenty of wildlife! Join me as I attempt to be as self-sufficient as possible whilst exploring this stunning part of the world.

Exploring Abruzzo's Wineries: Sipping Wine And Meeting A Kneeling Ox In Italy!
มุมมอง 424หลายเดือนก่อน
For 2 days every year, hundreds of wineries across Italy open their doors to the public, allowing visitors to taste their wines and learn about the winemaking process. We visited 2 wonderful cantine in Abruzzo. I also experienced San Zopito for the first time - an ox ridden by an angel with a carnation in her mouth! Finally we attended a stunning First Holy Communion and ate until we popped. I ...

The last couple of weeks have consisted of getting the land ready for Spring now that the weather is getting better and planting lots of lovely veggies and flowers. It was also the festa of San Giuseppe - Father's Day - and I went back to the village I used to live in to enjoy their amazing procession.

Love it from Wales 🏴 hopefully going here end of month
Ah it’s so cool to hear from Napoli fans across the world! Hope you have an amazing time there!
Another amazing video! The beautiful bathroom transformation and the little rascal, Mr Pickles we’re a delight to watch! Keep filming. I love watching the hood life!
@@CatherineFranco-hf2sy Thank you! ☺️
❤❤
Thank you so much... !!! Bella ragazza... Mr Peregrine Pickels is so cute !!! Love it... Mrs Tabitha is very big...and cute too... mi piace molto il bagno, ottimo lavoro... attendo sviluppi, ma sono convinto che farai scelte eleganti e positive per un Air Bnb... e che Agriturismo spettacolare ...Un saluto e Grazie ancora per le belle immagini...Ciao !❤👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹
Grazie Gigi! Ti saluta Mr. Pickles ☺️
@@LivingLaVitaBella Un abbraccio a tutti e due e… che sia una bella giornata… con meno Calor 🌞🌞🌞🤗🙏🏻🌹🌹🌹🥵
Very nice video showing different sights and vistas. The information you provided was very helpful. It inspires me to go to Ravello.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I hope you get to visit Ravello one day ☺️
Beautiful video. We just came back from minori. We spent a day in ravello and it’s lovely. We also visited villa ruffalo and cimbrone. I couldn’t pick which I liked more. Taking an early break for cappuccino and the best pistachio cornetto at the restaurant next to the church was perfect. The whole coast was beautiful and each little town had something distinct to offer.
Thank you so much, lovely comments like this make all the filming and editing worthwhile ☺️ I think Villa Rufolo just about edged it for me but then there is the wonderful infinity terrace at Cimbrone so it’s a tough call! Will have to try that restaurant next time! We’ve just returned from Vietri Sul Mare, did you visit on your travels?
Come si chiama?
@@ElisabettaSiciliani Si chiama Oro Bistrot ❤️
Beautiful. Lovely. O ya, and the greeeaat food. Love Abruzzo. Congrats! 🇮🇹
Thank you so much! Happy to hear from another Abruzzo lover 😀
Loved your video! I was just there for a quick stop before Amalfi and Positano. I loved Ravello and hope to return…where did you stay?
Thank you so much! We stayed in Villa San Cosma - how about you? Which was your favourite place on the Amalfi Coast?
@@LivingLaVitaBella having lunch at IL TRIDENTE in Positano! Ohhhhh the views!
@@katiemaciag6738 Oh wow, what an experience! Positano is absolutely stunning, I don’t think there’s anywhere quite like it. Although I’d like to visit Procida soon!
What month was this? May? Sorry if I missed that part.
Hi Amy, sorry I don’t think I mentioned - yes, it was the second week of May. The weather was lovely and it wasn’t too crowded ☺️
@@LivingLaVitaBella thanks! ❤️
Fantastic! Fascinating video full to the brim with Abruzzese delights and I wouldn’t have expected anything less! Well done!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy seeing the beauty of Abruzzo!

Haha! Please don’t arrest me 😝
Yes, please share the information of the villa you stayed in. Thanks for this beautiful video!
Hi there, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! We stayed in Villa San Cosma which you can book with directly. We also had pizza at Giuliana’s View and lunch the next day at Villa Maria 😊

❤❤
That’s an amazing video- they seem to get better and better! Very interesting too about the wineries. Ps: love the sparkly dress!
❤❤❤
Hi, what is the name of the villa?
Hi! It was called Villa San Cosma - I discovered that you get a better price if you book directly than if you use Booking.com etc so that’s something to bear in mind 😊
Lovely vlog. Need to book to go there. My wife says you look like Lesley-Anne Downes in her prime.
Down!😂
@@18onip Thank you so much! Where are you based in the world? We stayed at Villa San Cosma in Ravello which I would definitely recommend. I had to look up Lesley-Anne Down but that’s a huge compliment so please thank your wife for me! ☺️
Very Nice...Thanks For Sharing... :)
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!
Amazing ❤
Thank you!
Brilliant blog yet again! Well done! 👍
Good for you. You are living the country Italian life i am thinking about leaving everything for.
Ah really? I have to say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made! Where are you based at the moment? Are you thinking of Abruzzo or Italy in general?
@@LivingLaVitaBella I am in Texas. I have lived, visited, and worked in different places in the world and the USA. My family is two generations removed from Italy. I hear some places are going cheap because of vacancies or no one wants to keep a country house they inherited. Thinking about the Campania area.
@@frederickcampana5717 Yes property prices are very reasonable! I absolutely love the Campania region (I was born there) - I think it has the best cuisine in Italy and gorgeous coastline. I wish you luck in finding your perfect home!
This is much better...the whole video is very nice ... i prefer chiks, or pulcini than the snakes...best compliment for your outfit... i love it... e poi...Che bella ragazza ho visto..Grazie Bella... Till next time...🥰🥰🥰🤗🤔🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀

Napoli- si ‘o chiu forte d’o munno!
ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!
Very nice video. We arw going to Italy for the first time in Oct and Nov tgis year. We want to experience a real italy and unlike many we are not going to the big cities but the less traveled areas. Starting in the cilento coast, puglio, abruzzo, umbria and fly out to rome. What time did you harvest the olives? How are the roads from abruzzo to Umbria Thank you John
Hi John, thanks so much for the positive feedback! Sounds like you have a great itinerary there - you’ll get to see a variety of different landscapes but in a more authentic way. Last year we harvested in the second week of October which is quite early but it had been a very hot summer so they were ready. I think usually end of October/beginning of November is when the harvest takes place. The motorway from Umbria to Abruzzo is amazing. However, once you get into Abruzzo the roads are pretty potholed and terrible, I have to admit, and everywhere takes longer than you think because of the mountains in the way!
My dad loves this video. He said it is the best ever tribute to Diego. It brings tears to his eyes when you say: “you don’t care what (some) people say ….”. It’s beautiful the way you say it. We are based in London. Please continue doing this kind of videos in English.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed watching and understand the love that we have for Diego 😁
Yes it brought tears to my eyes indeed.
Lovely video! As usual. Full of the magic of Abruzzo
Thank you! ❤
Hi Bella... thanks for the video , i like it so much, as usual... real life of a village in Abruzzo its tradition and the great food and wine... and you did a great job for your olives... we wait till october/november... and for the pleasure of my eyes i see una gran bella ragazza... 🥰🥰🥰🤗👍🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for watching Gigi! I’m happy you enjoyed it!
🔥🔥❤️
Ciao Bella... this was very funny, well, not really...days ago i see this video for the celebration of San Giuseppe... i liked so much and i give you my toungs up...and i also comment as usual...but i see that there is no trace of my comment so i comment again... Roba da Matti... Grazie ! a big hug ...to you... a cuddle to Boobie and Miss Tabitha.... she can ruin you door...nice rooster Mr. Don Diego..🥰🥰🥰🤗👍🙏🌹🌹🌹
Use a tractor with a shaker and umbrella harvester. You can do 12 acres of olives a day.
Thanks for the tip 😊
A other brilliant video! Well done!
My brother-in-law and I are going to start a olive oil orchard in California we want to know what is the best Olive for oil what species of olive? We're going to plant about a hundred olive trees we're trying to think of what two species would we want to do. We figure we are going to make it a family event picking olives and having a picnic. We aren't really into it to make money I'm going to keep my regular job. We want to make a good quality olive oil.
Hi! Thanks for watching my video 😊 I don’t know what kind of soil you have there but the top varieties here for making olive oil are Sessana, Leccino, Coratina, and Itrana. My olive oil comes out with quite a peppery flavour and very rich colour. I love the idea of getting all the family together to pick! This month I need to start pruning the trees so I’m hoping to film another video about that ☺️
Isn't it the little late to start pruning?
Isn't it a little late to start pruning? I'll try and watch. We're going to go up this weekend to work out a plan. And to sync a well.
@@michaellangdon7608 No here people either do it straight after the harvest or in March but the majority seem to do it in March, probably because they’re too worn out after the harvest like I was 😂
I do my pruning in the fall. But that's my other fruiting trees. I'm still learning about the olive tree. I would show you a picture of the land that we're going to be farming but I don't know how to do it on TH-cam.
Ciao Bella ! ... che bel video ... mi e' piaciuto molto... Cat woman is really a beautiful girl ! best compliment !!! Bravissima nel preparare le Chiacchere... Miss Tabitha is so cute but Miss Boobie is the best !!! un abbraccio virtuale !!! e Grazie !!!
Brilliant as usual! Fantabulous!!!
Maradona was a great player but PELE is the greatest SOCCER/FOOTBALL player of all time. PELE's 3 WORLD CUP wins will probably never be equalled.
DIEGO BEST.
You need to buy a 12 volt abbacchiatore , but not the one with portable battery it's way too expensive. A 60 amp battery will be fine .
Thank you for the tip! 😀
Coccolone❤
😂😂😂😂😂
Another amazing video! Brilliant!
GRAZIE GIGI!! 🎉 I love to do creative things like this 😊 and to spoil Miss Boobie because she deserves it!
