@@hanneliewiese3477 yeah, Nick's a lucky girl. Italians in general are good husbands, friends and very passionate. Love the way they lead their marriage based on respect and friendship. I know italians well🥰
I believe he'd rather work at home than at his now retired 'job'... ( My daughter works at home and dreads having to drive into work...on our Cali fwys.)
The house just keeps offering up surprises. Gosh that sunset practically screams 'move to Tuscany, Dan and Craig'. I'd go to the yoga retreat in a heartbeat. It's been nearly 40 years since I've been to Italy, and I'd prefer a structured type of experience, with yoga, shopping, new restaurants, and a group of friendly people. Carlo is MacGyver, truly.
Just so in awe of Carlo’s expertise with everything! I wish he could come to our house to fix it up (lol). So nice to get introduced to another brother and his partner. Hopefully they enjoy things enough to want to stay in Italy! Good luck!
French Chef Jacque Pepin says "of course you use water to wash mushrooms, it is a myth not too" Porch is looking great Carlo, you are a master at carpentry. When we immigrated to Canada from Holland we were extremely poor and mom would insulate the walls against the cold Canadian winters with newspaper. I have never made risotto but might just try. Beautiful sunset, Hugs.
Carlo's excitement over the prospect of becoming the carpenter, gardener and videographer was hilarious. He did a great job with the porch and I love Nicki's idea about running a family BnB so I hope it comes to fruition!
So lovely to see your brother and his partner. Fingers crossed they are very impressed with Tuscany and make the move. It would be so nice for you to have family around you and I love the yoga idead!
No wonder it was so hot and cold in that room, no insulation! It would be nice to have folding glass doors that you could open and close. Best of both worlds!
To close a veranda in Italy you need special permits, because the size of the house changes and therefore you have to pay heavier taxes. But since last year it is possible to close verandas without permits and without suffering tax increases using removable frames, they are sliding or folding glass doors that are easy to install and uninstall without major masonry work and would be an excellent solution!
I laughed when Carlo found the papers which were stored in the walls, and said that they were probably used for insulation! The verandah seems to be coming along nicely, and I am looking forward to the final outcome 😊
Dan and Craig are so cute together. I love that they synchronize some of there moves (walking in town, take a picture simultaneously and turning around at the same time, on the outlook their arms up at the same time...). I am happy you have family visiting and I'm sure Carlos family will follow. 🫶
Like everyone here- what is it that Carlo can’t do?? Everything looks amazing! And you’re great at decorating and making your home so cozy. ❤I’m glad your brother and his partner loved it. Hopefully they move to Tuscany and join you. Your videos are my mini get away on Sunday mornings!
Fantastic job, Carlo, you are a wonderful man, very talented. Love seeing what you design next. It was quite funny when the papers fell out the wall xx
Finally! To see someone make risotto how my nonna made it! Peasant food she called it, but she lived until 90 years, so fed her well throughout her life xx
Risotto looked so delish. Many years ago my Italian grandmother picked some mushrooms in our area. She added to a dish for a family gathering. Well, they were not eatable, all my relatives came down very sick & had to visit a local hospital. I’ll never forget that story!
It is a good thing you both decided to take down those walls. What a fire hazzard; what a hazzard all together! With all that rotten wood, the columns could have easily fallen. Thankfully, you and Carlo have great taste as well as great instincts. Things have been looking beautifully there from the start, and it was hard to imagine how it all could get even better, but it has❤ You two make an awesome team. What I enjoy most about watching you and Carlo is how important family (fur babies included of course) are to you❤ Stay Joyful❤
I like that with every project, you and Carlo turn this house into a genuine home that reflects your personalities so well. I imagine it was wonderful having your brother there to share your blessings and show him so many positive attributes to living in your 'neck of the woods'. Perhaps we'll soon find out how well you 'sold' him on living there lol! Once again, thank you for your great videos and hope you enjoy the week ahead. Take care.
I was in San Gimignano 6 days before you. That ice cream shop had a line that day too. I was in Tuscany for a week and every city I went to I looked for you. I was even wearing my Positano Diaries sweatshirt. Maybe next time I will run into you. I promise I am not stalking you. Tuscany is amazing. I can see why you bought your house there. I always love watching your videos! Take care!
My husband and I was in Positano 3 years ago. We walked in the “Path of the gods” trail and when we were back on the streets, we saw Nicki and Carlo. I was really surprised to see her coz at that time I already follow her on IG and YT.
How wonderful it would be to have your brother close! And that sunset…. Man, it was showing off that day! Your house is really becoming a beautiful home.
Looks like a french drain would be good in the ground around the base of your new to be sunroom(otherwise the first rain will be a river down those steps and into the house.
The new porch area looks STUNNING! Well done, Carlo. Sure it's lovely to have your brother and his partner with you - you're a lucky lady. As Gary Player once said, "The harder I work, the luckier I get!" Well done, you.
Haves enjoyed your channel for some time now. Have loved every single episode!.. this one struck a chord with me, though, & warmed my heart. You and Carlo remind me of my husband and me as we passed the years together raising our family, and with each house we bought, worked together to make each one a home. Those of us who have husbands that can do most any project that presents itself, are fortunate to learn, & work right along side them as you do!.. having a love of travel means your videos are the best!!!-- Positano is beautiful(have visited there)... but these Tuscan vistas you show us are making me want to explore that area as well!! You are so inspiring and a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us❣️
Nice to see your brother hope he comes to stay near you and your dreams come true! Carlo has done a superb job on the porch the new opened up porch with the views is really good! Finding all those papers wall ate up my homework loved that😂 Now the house is yours what you think that matters not the old owners!
The sunset is incredible! That would be a blast if your brother moved there! Whoever thought of opening up that back room is a genius! It’s a game changer! Stunning!
Nicki & Carlo, you are so beautifully talented, gracious and pleasant to watch. I admire all your endeavors and wonderful and simple life you’ve created for your entire family to enjoy. It’s endearing and very inspiring! Also, I luv the new back porch! It’s going to be so fun to enjoy the views and gatherings with family and friends. It really “brought the outside in”! I hope you have a drain or protection when it rains, due to the downward slope of the stairs to your home. You two darlings are smart, so maybe I didn’t see it? I hope and send wishes that your brother joins you in Tuscany! Oh Wow! It will really be a treat! I can’t wait to see what else you pull out from your “Carpet Bag”! Just like Mary Poppins, You are definitely “Practically Perfect in Every Way!”😉 I adore all you do & Sunsets too! Gorgeous! Thanks for Sharing! Xoxo❤
The varanda is below the ground?🤔 so you gonna have problems with heavy rain. Better adapt a drain to avoid floor flooding and decay in the wood😉So good to have family over❤
Your dear Carlo is a genius, what he has done to that back room PRICELESS. Yes would be nice if they moved out your way and opened a lifestyle shop. I loved seeing San Gimignano such a cute little town. Always look forward to your videos………..🤗🇨🇦
I also thought that garden room was ugly and useless. Well done for doing something about it when you could. the new terrace balcony is wonderful.. and Carlo as ever, is resourceful, as you are too. I much admire that myself.
What beautiful sunsets. That would be lovely if your brother moved out there too and set up a yoga studio. Carlo is so good at doing all the alterations, your porch is going to look lovely. 😁
These two just make everywhere they live pure blissful soothing nature paradise hehe 🌸✨️ I feel you both really know how to enjoy life, nature, and beauty of Italy! If there was a Yoga retreat, I can imagine it would be the most beautiful paradise of bliss and zen! You can do healthy food and all sorts od detoxes, just what people need todat! And of course you would have lots of customers, as for sure it would give us all- your followers a reason to visit and enjoy this beautiful, slow life atmosphere 😊 🩷🌸✨️
A long distance CIAO from usa, great to see you father and brother visiting Tuscany and appreciating the tuscan landscape and all the creative hardwork you & Carlo have done up date. BRAVI...Joseph
Your home is lovely. Carlo can do amazing things fixing up your home and always with a smile. Most of all, I love the way all of you LOVE your two precious dogs. Your videos are a joy to watch.
Always so much fun to watch your house projects. You are so lucky to have a husband that can do everything ! Fingers crossed for you that your brother and his partner move closer to you
Goodness, those sunsets surely do not skimp. They're gorgeous. What a hoot, finding that surprise in the walls. Carlo did such an amazing job fixing the porch and building something beautiful. Wonderful to see your dad again for his visit and great to meet Dan and Craig. How could they not love Tuscany and want to move there. Thank you for the wonderful videos. I so look forward to them.
My goodness.... that sunset was really something !! 🧡❤💜 ...and I love what Carlo has done to the porch area. Such a talented man indeed!! Thanks for the tips on making risotto Nicki x
That was very timely, as I bought rice the other day to make a mushroom risotto for the first time! Great idea to get rid of that room/annex, love the railings!
You did an excellent job on water fountain !! Everyone should have a Carlos in their life 👏👏👏🫶beautiful sunset Tuscany was an amazing move seems to suit you both. Thanks for sharing
So wonderful that Dan and Craig could come and visit. I am sure they will be thinking how to get their own tuscan countryside view as well. Love how the porch is coming along, I think you and Carlo were smart to do this, great use of that space.
That sunset is the most beautiful that I've ever seen. 😲 The new porch railings look so nice. Carlo truly is a Jack of all trades and Nikki is just as talented in her cooking. I'm always amazed by the delicious dishes she creates with clean and simple ingredients.❤
Really interesting video again. As always Carlo has worked his magic on the property it’s going to look .great when the finishing touches are in place.Lovely to see your family coming over to check in on you both.The idea of them both coming to live near you would make a perfect location for a yoga retreat.Fingers crossed for that to happen. Take care and thanks again you are real tonic for us in soggy wet England.🌧️☔️🫶🙋♀️🇬🇧
The place on the piazza won price for best ice cream many years ago. I was in San Giminiano last time 7 years ago. I used to go horse riding in Barberino Val delsa/ San Filippo with a friend who’s sadly is no longer with us. In the afternoon, during the siesta we’d go to SG, only 10 min away, for lunch and ice cream. This used to be in April before massive tourist season. I love this area of Tuscany. Lovely memories.
@@alessandrom7181 I know it’s not called siesta in Italy, but there are a few hours of calm in the afternoon where everything is closed, apart from trattorias, coffee bars and ice cream shop. I tend to refer to it as siesta, although it’s not. As a Swede I have 30-45 minutes between 12 and 13. The calm between 14 and 16 we meet in Italy is 💕
Love the porch Carlo is designing and building..he is quite amazing..It is a beautiful time in Tuscany right now..glad you family come and enjoy it with you.
It is lovely to see you walking around the countryside in peace, with no one jumping out from every other bush or tree; what a dream, and you are not hypervigilant about safety; what a privilege to enjoy. Long may it last for you ❤
OKKKK well.... i have just woken up in Australia and LOVE this episode. Firstly...yesss a yoga retreat and B&B. Fantastic if your brother agrees to this. LOVE the open porch! Will look amazing! Well done Carlo. Nikki....LOVE it when you take us on walks with the pups and around the villages. You will have to lock Carlo up if the women come to stay...haha! After reading the comments he has a big fan club...but only eyes for his Amore. You are both doing a fantastic job with the Tuscan home!
I am salivating over your mushrooms. If I lived there I would go mushroom foraging all the time in the fall. Here that mushroom is called a King Bolete and the odd time I find it I jump for joy. What a sunset at the end! And as always, Carlo does amazing work on the property. Ciao.
OMG that sunset at the end is unreal. That was a great idea to open up the porch, it will be great as a shady eating spot and you get a whole new scene to look out at, all thanks to the trusty handyman Carlos
Love that family is visiting and maybe your brother and partner are considering moving there!! And concerting that room is looking amazing, laughed out loud at all the books and papers used as insulation.
Nicki, you mentioned your brother with disabilites. As your Tuscan property is relatively flat, have you thought about making an accessible ground floor suite of a bed room and a wet room? It would be a useful asset not just for your brother but for any other guests visiting, regardless of their mobility. I'm impressed with the changes you and Carlos have made so far - turning the property from a house into a home.
What a husband - very good at everything he tackles.
@hanneliewiese, yes indeed...
Carlo is amazing at everything! 😊
@@hanneliewiese3477 yeah, Nick's a lucky girl. Italians in general are good husbands, friends and very passionate. Love the way they lead their marriage based on respect and friendship. I know italians well🥰
I believe he'd rather work at home than at his now retired 'job'... ( My daughter works at home and dreads having to drive into work...on our Cali fwys.)
@@charlottesaxon5634 He is a good strong swimmer too....not a uk thing Lol.
Is there anything Carlo can't fix or build? His talent and skills are impressive.
...part time Audi mechanic as well!!
"I'm strange, but I love working at home." What a gem he is. Nikki, you are so blessed. Carlo is a dream.
I wish she knew how lucky she is with Carlo 🙏🏻🍀
Carlo is ALSO blessed!! What a GREAT team!! All marriages/relationships should be like this!!! ♥️♥️
@@Silvina46 pretty sure she does.........
The house just keeps offering up surprises. Gosh that sunset practically screams 'move to Tuscany, Dan and Craig'. I'd go to the yoga retreat in a heartbeat. It's been nearly 40 years since I've been to Italy, and I'd prefer a structured type of experience, with yoga, shopping, new restaurants, and a group of friendly people. Carlo is MacGyver, truly.
Yes, the MacGyver of house and garden works (and washing up the dishes.....) 😂
What a dream life in tuscany upgrade❤🙏🏻⚡️
Hey Nik! Watching from the San Francisco Bay Area. What part of California is your brother living in?
How wonderful to see the house coming on so well , and becoming more personal reflecting your style . Keep up the hard work and well done 😊
Gosh, Carlo did such a good job ❣ ....Transforming an unloved corner into a charming oasis with a view... Bravo !
Italians …..know how to do everything !!!
We all need a Carlo, he can do everything! I wish more men were this handy. He can host workshops, when you open your retreat.
The new porch area looks phenomenal. It is now another great place to sit and enjoy those stunning views. ❤
Carlo makes good use of what is already there and it end up looking beautiful . Those sunsets are amzing .
Yes he is very resourceful noticed that years ago on the channel. Its a very Australia trait to.
Just so in awe of Carlo’s expertise with everything! I wish he could come to our house to fix it up (lol). So nice to get introduced to another brother and his partner. Hopefully they enjoy things enough to want to stay in Italy! Good luck!
That was the most striking sunset that I’ve ever seen in my 67 years. Great woodwork Carlo 😊
In my 76 yrs ...
Carlo that porch looks stunning. What a god idea to open it up Nicki. That sunset was absolutely gorgeous.
French Chef Jacque Pepin says "of course you use water to wash mushrooms, it is a myth not too" Porch is looking great Carlo, you are a master at carpentry. When we immigrated to Canada from Holland we were extremely poor and mom would insulate the walls against the cold Canadian winters with newspaper. I have never made risotto but might just try. Beautiful sunset, Hugs.
Nicki, I wish your videos were longer. I am sure many subscribers would love more content on this channel. Best wishes!
I love her videos ! She does a wonderful job making you almost feel like you are there
Totally agree, I’m always wish Nicki’s videos were longer!!
so true! hence why am so happy they made that second channel. We thankfully don't have to wait a whole week to see them again😃
Agree. They should have a livestream 24/7 😄
Yes... I like long duration videos
Carlo's excitement over the prospect of becoming the carpenter, gardener and videographer was hilarious. He did a great job with the porch and I love Nicki's idea about running a family BnB so I hope it comes to fruition!
The artistic craftsmanship from Carlo never declines...My goodness!!! The doggies, the sunsets, the vistas, a slice of paradise!!!
Carlo!!! You are amazing!!
Nikki, so happy for you to have all the company of family surround you lately.
don’t know how Dan and Craig could ever forget that dreamy landscape
So lovely to see your brother and his partner. Fingers crossed they are very impressed with Tuscany and make the move. It would be so nice for you to have family around you and I love the yoga idead!
Wonderful idea turning that room into a veranda, bravo! A beautiful space. And yes a rocking chair (2) will be perfect ❤
No, a Hollywood Swing.....😅
No wonder it was so hot and cold in that room, no insulation! It would be nice to have folding glass doors that you could open and close. Best of both worlds!
What a GREAT IDEA ❤
To close a veranda in Italy you need special permits, because the size of the house changes and therefore you have to pay heavier taxes. But since last year it is possible to close verandas without permits and without suffering tax increases using removable frames, they are sliding or folding glass doors that are easy to install and uninstall without major masonry work and would be an excellent solution!
Carlo's English is getting so good!
I think Carlo’s English has always been good he’s just been shy speaking on camera. 😀
Such a great episode. Family, seeing San Gimignano, cooking risotto, home renovation and more. Thanks to you all for a lovely Sunday show!
Power tools and Birkenstocks! Love it. The old owners of your home were true hacks! They just did everything on the cheap
magnificent sunset .... beautiful country panoramas .... warms the soul ... back deck opens up the view beautifully ...
Carlo never cease to amaze me. It seems he do anything. And is so creative.
I laughed when Carlo found the papers which were stored in the walls, and said that they were probably used for insulation! The verandah seems to be coming along nicely, and I am looking forward to the final outcome 😊
Well paper is a good for insulation and a good substitute for stuff that costs a lot more.
Dan and Craig are so cute together. I love that they synchronize some of there moves (walking in town, take a picture simultaneously and turning around at the same time, on the outlook their arms up at the same time...). I am happy you have family visiting and I'm sure Carlos family will follow. 🫶
oh my god, that sunset!!! What a beautiful place you have there. I would never leave

It is fine to wash mushroom with water. The porch is looking beautiful.
Fantastic job, Carlo, you are a wonderful man, very talented. Love seeing what you design next. It was quite funny when the papers fell out the wall xx
"The wall ate my homework!"
I was imagining a child never clearing their desk, so dad flipped it up and made a wall.
Omg, this house just keeps giving & giving…some crazy surprises 🫤😱
It would be so lovely having your family nearby ❤
Agreed, but what about the 90 day only thing?
Finally! To see someone make risotto how my nonna made it! Peasant food she called it, but she lived until 90 years, so fed her well throughout her life xx
I love your brother and his partner twinning, holding up their arms, the same exact way to take in the view. Very sweet!❤
I thought they were twins for real.😂😂😂😂
Risotto looked so delish. Many years ago my Italian grandmother picked some mushrooms in our area. She added to a dish for a family gathering. Well, they were not eatable, all my relatives came down very sick & had to visit a local hospital. I’ll never forget that story!
Wow Carlo is amazing! Nicky equally amazing. I love watching what they get up to. Never a dull moment. ❤
The sunset in the end is the most beautiful one I've ever seen!
It is a good thing you both decided to take down those walls. What a fire hazzard; what a hazzard all together!
With all that rotten wood, the columns could have easily fallen. Thankfully, you and Carlo have great taste as well as great instincts. Things have been looking beautifully there from the start, and it was hard to imagine how it all could get even better, but it has❤
You two make an awesome team. What I enjoy most about watching you and Carlo is how important family (fur babies included of course) are to you❤

Your house is really becoming a beautiful home.
Those sunsets!!! Wow. Absolutely stunning. Who wouldn’t want to live there!! ❤
Beautiful❤ Cinematography of Tuscany, great music and risotto❤ with artistry of Carlo. Could not ask for more!!🌹
Looks like a french drain would be good in the ground around the base of your new to be sunroom(otherwise the first rain will be a river down those steps and into the house.

That sky is incredible. Well done Carlo you are so clever. Lovely video and so interesting x
The past owners of your house just keep on giving giving giving don't they 🥲😅
Yes!The 'gift' that keeps on giving.😂
So true!
😂😂😂😂
I guess this is their way of making up for all of their taking, taking, taking. hehehe
Maybe you'll soon find a spot where the grandmother tucked away money behind the wallpaper or something! 😮😊
You did an excellent job on water fountain !!

The varanda is below the ground?🤔 so you gonna have problems with heavy rain. Better adapt a drain to avoid floor flooding and decay in the wood😉So good to have family over❤
I think you're right - and the floorboards there will at least need to be treated. I can see it needing to have paving rather than boards.
Your dear Carlo is a genius, what he has done to that back room PRICELESS. Yes would be nice if they moved out your way and opened a lifestyle shop. I loved seeing San Gimignano such a cute little town. Always look forward to your videos………..🤗🇨🇦

YAY! let's dive in. Another Sunday with favorite YT couple. Thanks! Guys for making live in Positano & Tuscany imaginable.
What beautiful sunsets. That would be lovely if your brother moved out there too and set up a yoga studio. Carlo is so good at doing all the alterations, your porch is going to look lovely. 😁
I think we would all love to come and live in the area!

man .
Always so much fun to watch your house projects. You are so lucky to have a husband that can do everything ! Fingers crossed for you that your brother and his partner move closer to you
Just a idea do solar panels for the air conditioning
Every family needs a Carlo - he turns his hand to so many things ❤
It’s wonderful to see how many of the TH-camrs are connected with each other. Of course David would help out Carlo. Bravo!
I need some Carlo! This man can fix everything and always so nice, smiley and polite! The porch looks great! Hello from Illinois!
Happy Sunday, Nicki and Carlo! Can’t wait to see your new guests while I am canning a batch of salsa and with tomatoes from my garden.
Talk about Under the Tuscan Sun!!!!!!! That was spectacular!!😮
Goodness, those sunsets surely do not skimp. They're gorgeous. What a hoot, finding that surprise in the walls. Carlo did such an amazing job fixing the porch and building something beautiful. Wonderful to see your dad again for his visit and great to meet Dan and Craig. How could they not love Tuscany and want to move there. Thank you for the wonderful videos. I so look forward to them.

Love your new veranda. Carlo did a great job. It links the house to the garden beautifully. Bravo!
What an exciting adventure if your brother decides to move to your area!!! The porch looks amazing Carlo!!!

The place on the piazza won price for best ice cream many years ago. I was in San Giminiano last time 7 years ago. I used to go horse riding in Barberino Val delsa/ San Filippo with a friend who’s sadly is no longer with us. In the afternoon, during the siesta we’d go to SG, only 10 min away, for lunch and ice cream. This used to be in April before massive tourist season. I love this area of Tuscany. Lovely memories.
There is nothing like "siesta" in Italy. That's Spanish and South American stuff and that afternoon break in summer lasts a lot less in Italy.
@@alessandrom7181 I know it’s not called siesta in Italy, but there are a few hours of calm in the afternoon where everything is closed, apart from trattorias, coffee bars and ice cream shop.

If Dan and Greg aren’t convinced to move to Tuscany after that stunning sunset, nothing will convince them. Thanks for taking us along.
Love the porch Carlo is designing and building..he is quite amazing..It is a beautiful time in Tuscany right now..glad you family come and enjoy it with you.
It is lovely to see you walking around the countryside in peace, with no one jumping out from every other bush or tree; what a dream, and you are not hypervigilant about safety; what a privilege to enjoy. Long may it last for you ❤
OKKKK well.... i have just woken up in Australia and LOVE this episode. Firstly...yesss a yoga retreat and B&B. Fantastic if your brother agrees to this. LOVE the open porch! Will look amazing! Well done Carlo. Nikki....LOVE it when you take us on walks with the pups and around the villages. You will have to lock Carlo up if the women come to stay...haha! After reading the comments he has a big fan club...but only eyes for his Amore. You are both doing a fantastic job with the Tuscan home!
I am salivating over your mushrooms. If I lived there I would go mushroom foraging all the time in the fall. Here that mushroom is called a King Bolete and the odd time I find it I jump for joy. What a sunset at the end! And as always, Carlo does amazing work on the property. Ciao.
Carlo & Nicki are great Creators of their Life!❤️
The house keeps evolving to different areas to enjoy!🏘️🎋🍄🟫
The Sunset is stunning!
OMG that sunset at the end is unreal. That was a great idea to open up the porch, it will be great as a shady eating spot and you get a whole new scene to look out at, all thanks to the trusty handyman Carlos
Love that family is visiting and maybe your brother and partner are considering moving there!! And concerting that room is looking amazing, laughed out loud at all the books and papers used as insulation.
That is going to be the most lovely house when you are finished with it. I wish I could do the things Carlo does.
Thank you for making my Sunday so beautiful. That sunset was spectacular.
Nicki, you mentioned your brother with disabilites. As your Tuscan property is relatively flat, have you thought about making an accessible ground floor suite of a bed room and a wet room? It would be a useful asset not just for your brother but for any other guests visiting, regardless of their mobility.
I'm impressed with the changes you and Carlos have made so far - turning the property from a house into a home.
