Well….first of all, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I so appreciate your willingness and interest in answering questions and requests! I was the person (or perhaps there were more) who had requested seeing Belvedere Marittimo sometime when you two felt like an outing to that town. And I was so very, VERY excited two days ago when I got up and saw that you had already gone and posted this video!!! And I wrote a long thank you msg right then, which isn’t here so I probably did something brilliant like wrote it and forgot to hit the send button…. So, I’m writing another (you two are always so kind and responsive to comments that it just occurred to me that maybe my comment hasn’t posted). So…first of all, thank you again for your lovely video of this lovely hill and beach town! The mountain and sea views are equally gorgeous, as is the town itself! Hill town architecture is always of great interest and beautiful to see, and the pride and care of the residents for their town is very easy to see in the many decorative design elements. Loved the parks, monuments, sculptures, balustrades, garden centers, etc! And 100% agree that that sculpture with the faces is incredible!! I did a little google searching to try to answer your question about safe palms for the pups, and I’m going to try posting the links as a separate comment ( in case I did hit send on my first comment but maybe it was blocked due to the URLs being included). BTW, we were very interested in seeing this town because there’s a property we found looking online that’s very near that we are interested in. We appreciate so much you taking the time to show us the area!!!Abbracci a due!!! Mille grazie ancora!!!!
Absolutely our pleasure to showcase feature beautiful Belvedere Marittimo!!! You should be very comfortable to choose to purchase and live in that cool town. We enjoy it very much! We appreciate you Deb. Thanks for watching our channel and kindly messaging us here. Always a pleasure to hear from you sweetheart. Huge hugs 🤗
Thank you for mentioning me! 😘😘 And thank you for this video. I am discovering always new things through your experiences. I love walking through nurseries, it gives me a sense of peace and joy and I have never noticed that one in Belvedere Marittimo. Baci😘
Well, of course we would mention you...lol. You practically gave us a nursery, that Justin and I can walk through.😍 We love all the plants you gave. They really have brought the yard to life. It was actually two garden centers side by side. The We are glad that you watch our videos. And, your comments always make us smile. Baci Baci!😘
Wow! Cute village and two handsome guys. Churches were very nice. Garden stores yes I was excited! They’re amazing! Thanks for sharing. You are swaying me more and more toward Scalea. I learned Scalea has dog groomers! That’s very important as you see by my photo. That’s my Vincenzo, old English sheepdog. He likes to look good too!
Hi dear Carol . Vincenzo is adorable!!! Thanks for your cool comments. We appreciate you and you kindly watching our channel. It was a nice village to visit, and garden centers were awesome indeed. Scalea area would be lucky to have you call it home! Huge hugs 🤗
Sending positive thoughts and vibes to your mom. Love the smell of lemon. I use a lemon body wash and body cream….very therapeutic. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be sure to do a shot of limoncello during dinner tonight. 😋
Hi, Michelle. Thank you so much for your kind words. It brings us both such happiness knowing you like our channel. Thank you so much for watching. We really do appreciate your time. Thank you so much. Baci Baci.
Hi Justin and Michael ! A little town again with beautiful churches and religious statues nice to visit even it s raining ! I didn t think you could find so much choices of plants there...good for gardening, nothing is missing ! I hope Justin didn’t get to wet filming....I am sure that this bad weather will not last much longer and that the sun will come again soon for yess it is so good to eat a gelato 🍧 in a bar outside in Italy ! Ah I dare to dream again ! Still happy to live there in Calabria and wishing you the best, Mille baci a tutti due !
Thanks Marie. The town was indeed charming. And the garden centers were awesome. Gelato sounds yummy. Thanks so much for watching our channel dear. Much appreciated xoxo 😘
Hey there. We are happy you enjoyed the episode. We love Belvedere. It is really a beautiful place. And, we are so happy living in Scalea. We love the community here, and the life we have carved out for ourselves here. Thanks so much for watching. Baci Baci.
MIchae I love that view of the sea were u are standing. i remember seeing flowers on the balconies everywhere we drove to, but i havent seen any there? Maybe not in every town they do that. Fantastic work you guys.😃😃😍😍
Wow! I remember all those lovely churches throughout Italy. I was there many times before I retired 17 years ago. My favorite city is Sienna...What a beautiful place with all centuries tucked in among the walls. Hope you will take the time to visit there. I do have other favorites but Sienna stands out. Glad you are enjoying your wonderful adventures. Please be safe. Thank you for bringing it to us.
Hi, Albert. First of all, welcome to our channel. We are happy you found us. Our plan is to, in time, see as much of Italy as we possibly can. There is so much beauty here. We are very happy to share our journey with you, and are so honored that you are taking time to watch. Thank you for that. It means so much to us. Ciao😁
oooh loved this visit. Is Belvedere Marittimo on the rail line or would one use the Scalea stop??? Sorry , I guess I could look that up, but figure I'll comment just because. My MIL is a Perez, I should look at the Palazzo LOL. An APE would be fun, but also there is a little Citroen Electric vehicle that is a hoot - like a square box. my neighbor has one, wonder if you could have hand controls only with it...hmmmm
Hi there. Yes, it does have a stop. I think that this is reason enough for you to buy the palazzo, Lol. And, we will definitely look into the option you gave here. Thanks for the the input. And thank you so much for watching!
Hi guys! Glad to have found you today. My wife and I are also expats living in Italy fulltime in a small town in the Campania region. We've been here about a year and we're really loving life. We'll start traveling around perhaps later this year, so we'll get some inspiration from your travels. Looking forward to watching!
Well hello you two. Nice to meet you here. Thanks for watching our channel and kindly taking time to say hello here. Campania is a beautiful region. We intend to venture up that way for future episodes. Huge hugs 🤗
Hi, I’m new to your channel. Thanks for showing the town landscape and churches. I saw a condo for sale I liked, but was not sure of ease of local shopping, walking about and enough population (restaurants, shops) to satisfy needs. I see there are definitely plenty of landscaping supplies and lovely nurseries. ♥️ Thanks again!
Hi there, Jodie. First, welcome to the channel. We are thankful you took the time to watch. Yes... There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and so on. And the local hospital is in Belvidere. It is a great place. Baci Baci.
Hi guys! Not sure I've ever seen this video, not sure how I missed it! The nursery was lovely, I agree, a nursery is a happy place to wander - it's a good thing you're not taking all those home with you Justin, I don't think there's enough names in a name book for all of them, lol. This video was a nice flashback for me, and you passed right by the bldg I Airbnb'd at. I'll be back in November or December for a year's lease in the same spot, just a couple blocks from the beach. My soon-to-be landlord is presently finishing his house build that replicates the castle a bit, it's pretty cute. In April, I had wanted to purchase a house just around the corner from the castle but was informed that it had gone into contract two days previously with "a gentleman from California". Darn it. But like you say, all of Italy is fantastic, I'll find something else. Love you guys! Baci baci.
Hey there. We loved this nursery for sure. Justin loves plants. They are so pretty. We are so happy to hear that you are looking into properties here. And yes...Italy is definitely a beautiful place, with several properties that are just stunning. We hope you find the right one for you. We are sure you will! Thanks for watching. Baci Baci.
Grazie! I loved this video, just love seeing the streets, homes, and shops. Will go to Calabria ASAP and this is really helping. Does this city have the main area hospital? Might be a plus?
Yes. Belvedere Marittimo does actually have one of our regional hospitals. We are glad that our videos are bringing you joy. Thanks for watching. Baci Baci.
Ciao Justin and Michael, A very pretty town that we want to visit! Love the architecture 💓…it’s good to know that there is a hospital there. Is that the only hospital within a half hour from Scalea and what is the difference between that hospital and so called private hospitals? Your meals looked absolutely delizioso! No hot sauce for me BUT Farrell and I definitely want to try the cornetto amarena which the two of you adore 😊 once again a wonderful video and look forward to many more! Ci vediamo presto…abbracci! Giovanna and Farrell
Hello. Thanks so much for messaging us and watching our channel…much appreciated. Belvedere Marittimo is a nice town indeed. They have a hospital there in Centro Storico and larger one lower in town along the sea. It’s a main hospital hub for many towns area. There is a hospital in Praia a Mare too…but I believe Belvedere Marittimo hospital would be considered the bigger in area. I’ve been at both. I now go directly to Belvedere when I need to , as upon my first visit to Praia a Mare hospital I was transferred to Belvedere. I’m not aware of any private hospital so I would not how to answer about any.
A great village. Last time I was there was when Justin was hospitalized. I got lost because there are three different medical facilities. Eventually I found you, and got to drive around the beautiful sites. Glad you are well, and having a more pleasant tour of Belvedere Marittimo. Lovely. Oh there is a great furniture, household stove there as well.
Hello darling. Yes, charming town…and tons more fun to be there walking around it and not be in the hospital there lol. Enjoy yourself a nice rainy Sunday Bonnie xoxo
(Lana) Loved this place, the views were amazing. The two churches were so different but both beautiful! It's 5AM here but I could eat that pasta fagioli for breakfast. Baci Baci 💖
Thanks so much. Yes, the pasta e fagioli is definately amazing. I (Michael) absolutely love it. Thank you so much for watching our channel. It means the world.
One of my really good friends is from Belvedere Marritimo. I visit there often and it's become like a second home to me! :) I'm so glad you went for a visit - the old town is so beautiful with some pretty spectacular views, don't you think?
Yes I am exited as u are! u can buy any plant u need there. I love this area , is this town close to beach . how many km is Belvedere From your place? This summer I recommend Soverato beach and the ares like CAMINIA , the beaches there are so beautiful.......
Hi there, Elizabeth. Justin and I both get so happy around plants. Lol. Belvedere is about a half hour away from Scalea. So, not incredibly close, but not too far, at the same time. We will definitely plan on looking at these locations in the future. And, we thank you for watching. Baci Baci.
Hi there😁 the mountains did look very pretty. The two towns have a very similar population size. Scalea is easier to maneuver and with traffic, we feel. Thank you so much for watching.
Well guys, this will be my 3rd attempt to find a way to get you helpful info about dog-safe and -unsafe “palms” and other plants. First of all, it seems that all true palms are dog-safe. (Sago “palms” are not true palms.) You know how to use this string of words: “ASPCA plant list dogs”. It has lists of both safe and unsafe plants, and gives both their common and scientific names. So, if you can find a match of a plant there and the seller has its scientific name, you can check the list and be safe. Hope that helps!
@@MichaelandJustin You are very very welcome! Glad I could figure out a way to get the info to you! (I didn’t realize how tight the rules are in here for not providing precise info or direct connection to anything off-site…). We love our pets, and I’m very happy to have been able to help a little bit! Small way of saying thank you to you guys for taking the time to share so much with us!!! Abbracci!!

I was considering Belvedere also. What a lovely town.
It is nice. But, we find that, at least for us, Scalea is much more accessible. But we do love everywhere we go. 😁 Thanks for watching!
Tanks for the tour. My parents were born in Belvedere. Its been many years since i visited. Scalea is a beauty as well
