From NY, Ciao! This is best people channel on TH-cam! It is filled with the most down to earth and interesting family and friends! It is full of glorious photography, great editing, different places, local celebrations, food, etc....they make it seem so easy in the way they take us with them making everyday situations so engrossing and full of heart. This is hard work on their part and yet they make it seem effortless. Let's get Nicki and Carlo to a well deserved million subscribers starting with hitting the 200k mark by Christmas! You can hit the bell, subscribe for nothing, and it supports them. It's our way of saying grazie.
Totally agree. Would subscribe again if I could. It was so amazing to be able to watch during lockdowns. They are getting better and better! They definitely deserve maaany more subscribers 🤩
You are so busy, but I would really like to see a video from BOTH of you (“more professional and less professional“ - ha ha) of hints you’ve learned for taking footage and also editing basics. I’m here in Kyoto, Japan, and your videos are so enjoyable for me, I would really like to do the same for others! ❤ Thank you for sharing your lives with us! Can’t wait to see Prague! 😊
So glad Carlo’s surgery went well. I want to thank you for introducing us to Sara and Luca. I look forward to videos from both of you every Sunday. Nicki, I discovered you at the beginning of Covid and you helped me stay sane. It’s been wonderful seeing how you live in another part of the world. Chow from New Jersey
I enjoyed Elizabeth's footage and Pepe's commentary; it was very informative. I had no idea just how rough and wild the sea became in the winter months. I expected the occasional storm but didn't expect it to be generally so rough.
Loved Elizabeth's filming part, incredible aftermath of the storm and Pepe's description of the storm was very informative. Had no idea Pepe commanded the English language so well, Elizabeth and Pepe should do more mini filming within your videos and maybe give us a view on what their family does during the off season.🙂. Hope you enjoyed your time alone Nicki💕......... Can't wait to see Carlo's video on his vacation with the kids😊
Nice to know Carlo and the kids are still taking bonding-time trips together. Pastina (Carlo's food in hospital), with egg and butter is still the go to food dish in my family when someone is not feeling well. For me, delighted to see the pasta fagioli dish prepared by Carlo's parents. I love the weather report by the sea from Pepe and Elizabeth. Thank you for the much appreciated videos.
I can’t watch the video right now but saw the hospital gown and had to rush to the comments and make sure My very favorite family in Italy was ok! ❤ Thank you for all your hard work creating and sharing videos of you and your entire family those of blood and friendship, it brings such joy to so many!
Glad all went well with Carlo’s procedure. Kidney stones are no joke. Its amazing how different things look in Positano in winter and how dramatic the weather can become. I will look forward to seeing Carlos’ video of his trip with the kids to Prague-I love that be takes special trips with them. Good dad! As always, thanks for entertaining me on my Sunday afternoon, Nicki!
Carlos is such a natural behind the camera and really looking forward to seeing his “creativity” from the trip. I love a good winter storm to snuggle by the fireplace and read. Makes us appreciate the beautiful change of seasons. Thanks again for sharing your lives and beautiful village. See ya next Sunday.
I'm happy to see the surgery went well for Carlo and he was able to travel to Prague with his children. But I have a question. How was Carlo able to manage the stairs going back to the house after the surgery? It must have been painful. I look forward to seeing Carlo's video from Prague and I'm sure it will be enjoyable!
The stairs weren't a problem at all, I was fine but I wasn't 100% let's say I was 60% during the holiday with my children, they supported me, and even put up with me!😁💕😘
As always , so well filmed and so very interesting and I agree the best on TH-cam. Glad Carlo’s surgery went well and was able to enjoy time with his children following that . ❤ Thankyou Nicki and Carlo xx
Yours is the only TH-cam channel that I watch each week without fail. Love the scenery, your travels, your everyday activities and your warm, down to earth personalities. Hope you get to the 200k mark because you deserve it.
Glad Carlo is well and I thank you for sharing the changes in weather as it’s wonderful to see how it affects others. It all was still beautiful to me and I appreciate when the gentleman said that the sea must be respected when it was stirring about….so true!!!
Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Nicki your husband Carlo and his small surgical operation. Carlo you are indeed very healthy especially with Nicki beside you ❤ helped your speedy recovery 🙏 ❤ 💙 😊 💖 💕. Your family lunch with Mama then Elizabeth & Pepe weather forecast at Positano, while Carlo, Skye and Thomas are having a breakaway, with dad after his surgical treatment. Thank you for letting me view your lifestyle. Godbless
Don't say you're not as professional, Carlo...your drone footage is fabulous!🤩 You each bring your own style to it and we love just watching you just living your lives...gardening, swimming, cooking. Sometimes the unplanned things that happen are the most entertaining. 😆
Glad Carlo is ok! Looking forward to his video of Prague!! The seas were so rough, but still beautiful. You two are the sweetest couple ❣ Until next time, Ciao for now ‼🇮🇹 ♥️ to Holly and Indie🐾🐾
I’m so happy that Carlo did well with his surgery! 🥰 what a beautiful yummy soup Carlo’s Mom made you. I love being around older Italians and listening to their stories ❤️ In a few days it will be 1 year since my 94 year old Sicilian Father-in-law passed away and I am especially missing him during the holidays. I’m wondering if the horrible storm is the same one that hit Ischia. 🙏🏻 It was nice to have Pepe explain the winter storms in Positano! Thank you Nicki and Carlo … 💕ByeBye 🥰🤗🍋
So happy Carlo is feeling good after his surgery. Hospital food isn’t very good at best. Carlo looks well…But….I miss his curls. Loved the curly hair. Wow, what a storm! That sea looked angry. It didn’t seem to bother Holly, she rolled around in the sand and seemed to like it. Ciao sweet people! ❤
I'm spoiled forever. I love Italy and Spain as I spent a lot of my childhood there when my Dad had to go for work. I live in the East Coast part of the States but no place hits for me like my beloved England 🥰 it is the "warmest and safest harbour to me. xxx
Glad to see Carlo s surgery had gone well...The weather is very changing in south Italy but fortunately after all this bad weather the sun comes back quickly and there are still beautiful colored flowers and a particular light with the sea and clouds...All your videos are always a pleasure to watch and so well filmed
Am glad to hear you will be home in no time… wishing you a speedy recovery Carlos. Going into hospital is always a nervous time no matter how small the procedure. Take care 🤗 ciao ciao
Glad your operation went smoothly Carlo, it was interesting to learn about the Italian health care system. From rough wild seas to the beautiful colours of the plants, winter in Positano is very different from ours. Just got out of a frigid cold 🥶 week of -30 to -35 temperatures. So thank you for the videos, makes the cold winter days here in Alberta Canada much more bearable 😊. ❤ 🇮🇹
So glad Carlo’s surgery went well. Thanks for sharing the cost information. It’s such a reality check for those of us in the US. Private hospital rooms, if available, are thousands of dollars a night… thousands! I love seeing the winter see too. Beautiful.
Glad to hear all is well with Carlo and he is now enjoying time with the kids. By the way I love pastina soup. It is comforting and perfect when one is not well. Thanks for sharing the stormy seas. Mother Nature is always in command. Also, I have been following Luca and Sara and my heart goes out to them. It is truly incredible that he is alive and doing ok. Sara is a hero in so many ways. Wow!
You and Carlos are a hoot when you talk together! I'm glad his surgery went well. The winter storms are interesting to watch. All of the earth's elements. Thank you.
Happy to see Carlo recuperating and doing well. That storm was brutal! We had it here on Procida and, fortunately for us, didn't suffer like over on Ischia. Peppe's piece was perfect, as you need to respect the sea and he made that clear. Glad all of you are safe and well. I'm really looking forward to Carlo's video on Prague. It's one of our favorite European cities! We haven't been back in quite a few years, but talking about Christmas time 2023. Looking forward to seeing everything Skye, Tommaso and Carlo did while there. Thanks for yet another really great video, Nicki!
As usual thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery. So glad Carlo is recovering and pray he continues to do well. My husband and I laughed so hard and had to rewind and watch several times when Carlo said “f you”. That was hilarious!
Oh that ocean was so beautiful, I love the seaside in winter with storms. So glad Carlos is feeling better, those stone can be so painful when they move on through. Holly and Indie on the beach made me think of my own dogs that have since passed on, they were the same color and size as yours and they would play like that every day, it was a wonderful sight to see it played out again with your pups! 💜💜
I love watching your videos. They are a special treat every Sunday. today was like watching a picture post card come to life. Personally I love the winter storms on the coast. In Paris we used to complain about "le grisatre" because being gray every day gets a bit tedious not to mention depressing. A good storm is always a nice reset.
Wow, nearly had a heart attack when I saw Carlo in hospital …..then your weather beating the living daylights out of the Harbour…..one lost hat……Papa and children jetting off immediately after operation……I need to lie down ….what a roller coaster of a vlog….fantastic, really wonderful. So lovely to see Elizabeth and Peppe too and how right he is, experience and much respect for the sea. Thank you xx
Glad Carlo got himself sorted with his kidney stones! 👍 Love to see the variations of Fagioli in Italy, I have an Italian husband & his mother taught me her way of making it, as well as her meatballs & her lasagne. Sadly she now has dementia, so I’m proud to keep the family recipes going as is the rest of the family ❤️
They always had the most amazing food at the service stations in Italy, fresh pasta, pastries, salads. I never wanted to leave :) Glad everything went well with Carlo too :) 😍😋😍
Cheers! I'm so happy Carlo's surgery went well. I enjoyed seeing Carlo's parents, and Elizabeth and Pepe's commentary about the rough sea was excellent!!! Indy and Holly look happy (I hope Indy isn't too wild with our old girl). Great video; I love you guys!!!! 🤗💕
Your vlog just came up and I enjoyed it. Spent years trying to capture Postiano in watercolours from summer photos, as I've never been to that part of Italy so seeing it in winter was stark, nice to see a community clearing up the damage. I look forward to seeing more of your videos
I’m so glad you are ok Carlo after your surgery. Your videos are great so please don’t underestimate yourself. You are terrific! Holly is so cute in this video playing with Indie!
I’ve heard from friends how painful kidney stones can be, glad Carlo is well after the surgery. We had a girl who was also terrified of thunder storms, she had to find her spot to be comfortable. Looking forward to Prague, you all did a great job in Lisbon and sure you had a great time! Already subscribed for awhile. 😀
Dear Carlos & Nikki: I'm glad you are doing well Carlos after your surgery while staying in a private room with a view no less. The food looked bland but probably still was good after 24 hours fasting. That storm in Positano was quite dramatic with surging waves, rain, and snow. I can see why Elizabeth has to close Blue Start boat tours at the end of the summer. Great that they have a safe place to tuck Nikki and Carlos' kayaks along with the other small boats. Ciao till next time! Jenny USA
Nicki aun con la tristeza que trae el invierno y esos dias tan grises(y la despedida a la pileta) Italia se ve tan pintoresca,hermosa! Que bueno que te encuentres bien Carlo, así como tambiénSara&Luca!..y queremos ver lo q filmasteeeee.... Ameeeeé la sopa de ""dedalitos" de tus Padres😍💕 Pepe&Elizabeth unos genios.. 😘💕🌹🌩⚡🐶🐕💖🌺🌺🏞
Boy oh, boy, are the winter seas so much different than the calm peaceful summer seas that we saw in September. Greetings Elizabeth! This is 🐞🇮🇹Vita Maria. I met you this summer in September. I can’t believe where your tent is for blue star and wow the damage from all those rough seas. Thank you for showing us mother nature at her finest. Thank you Elizabeth and Pepe for doing that narration and video of Positano.
Hawaii weather is similar. Summer is the hot and dry season and winter its cooler, stormy, and soaking wet!! Once it rained for 50 days straight! We even get snow on a couple of our tallest mountains! I'm constantly amazed at how much alike places can be half way around the world from each other.
Probably one of my favourite videos for a while, besides Carlos operation (that must have been painful) but it was nice that we got to see the hospital food and travel to get there. The food looked much better than an Australian public hospital 🤮 I love watching the Sea in all of its mood swings, my favourite is a rough sea. Thankyou for showing us bacione x
So glad Carlos was OK after his surgery, it was really great seeing what winters like in Positano. All us travelers kind of forget that yeR around is not what it’s like when we visit. It’s still so beautiful!
Nikki and Carlos, I must say that whatever you video is just absolutely riveting! Even misjointed content and just sharing snipets of your daily lifestyle is magnificent!
Nicki & Carlos- To me, every video you share with us is special but this one was also important for my peace of mind. The timing of it couldn’t have been better… Last year, my husband went away to live with the angels. His doctors had told us the average time he had was around 7 years after diagnosis- sadly, we only had three. We were married for 34 years, and he was my best friend. He had so much life in him, and to lose him at only 56 broke my heart..The dynamic between the two of you always reminds me so much of the way we were together. I think that’s one of the reasons I’ve been watching your videos since I stumbled across your channel years ago.. When he was first diagnosed 4 years ago, we were in the process of finally realizing our dream to permanently move to Italy. He was an airline pilot and was senior enough he’d only have to commute to NY for work 3 times a month. He was already commuting 6 hours to work from where we lived, so in that aspect, it really wouldn’t have been much different. We’ve traveled many times to Italy, and seen a great deal of the country. We loved every bit of it, but the Amalfi coast was our favorite. He especially loved Sorrento…Once he was diagnosed, I sold our house and we came to Italy. We came very close to buying a flat, but ultimately decided he should spend whatever time he had left with family so after a couple of months, we went back to the States and bought a house 10 minutes from his Dad. While he still was able to speak, he made me promise that I would follow through on our dream. I tried to explain it wouldn’t be the same without him, but he was determined I would give him my word to move here, so I promised I would. It’s been the challenge of my life in the last year to try and create a life without him in it. I’m lost without him, but I’m trying to keep looking ahead..💔 Right now, I’m in Italy again, on another reconnaissance mission to find the place to call home, but tomorrow, I return to Florida for the holidays, because my quarantine time is officially over. Unfortunately, while I was here, I contracted Covid and had to go to the local hospital. It was not at all a good experience. I have been working on the language, but unfortunately, none of what I’ve learned thus far applies to a medical situation so that in itself was a challenge. The worst part was the doctors and nurses were clearly overworked- the place was SO crowded, people were on cots lining the hallway. It was chaos. I felt so bad for the medical staff there because they were obviously stressed and overwhelmed, and with good reason. I felt so sick, and very weak, and once I tested positive, they put me in a tiny metal chair, in the corner of a room with one bed that was occupied by an elderly lady, probably in her 90’s. I was so scared I’d pass Covid to her because I ended up sitting there in her room for 7 HOURS until they finally came back with results of X-rays, etc. I tried to ask if she had Covid, using a translator on my phone, but she couldn’t understand me. She seemed very confused and disoriented… The day after, I had four huge bruises from the rushed blood draws/IV… I won’t share the name of the town because I don’t want anyone to feel like I mean this to be critical of them, but I will say the population is around 100k. Which brings me to my point of this novel… Please tell me that this was an anomaly and that when/if hospital care is ever a necessity, it won’t be a repeat of this experience. I was SO happy and relieved to see in this video that Carlos was in a comfortable place and seemed to be very well taken care of. I’m hoping and praying that’s the norm. I’m generally healthy but have some issues with my thyroid and I’d so appreciate reassurance that the healthcare system is there if ever I were to need it. I’m sorry for the lengthy post, I hadn’t intended to write a novel.😔On a brighter note, thank you both so much for all that you do to share your life in Paradise with us all. I always find myself smiling when I’m watching you two!🇮🇹🌼🌱💕
Hi Dana, first of all we want to thank you for watching our videos and for commenting, there is no doubt that you have had some horrible experiences, and somehow, even if indirectly I can understand you, I have lived a long time for the my past work, with many aspects concerning death, and the loss of loved ones, certainly it wasn't my parents or wife/husband or worse my children who had gone further, but do you know in more than 40 years many aspects of these problems got under my skin, up to my heart, I don't want to be misunderstood, working in a cemetery and having to deal with death is not the same thing as suffering the loss of a loved one firsthand, but I know well the interactions, the various ways of dealing with the pain of these losses, I would say (but this is only my interpretation of why these bad things happen) that unfortunately you have really been an "unfortunate" person in recent years. Actually for me other than being "unlucky" the only real reason why these bad things happen to us, is that this is the reality of life, and there are no other reasons. As far as hospitals in Italy are concerned, it is clear that during the covid period many things didn't work well, and even before and now, it's not that Italian hospitals work very well, but in general I could say that they are acceptable, and in some cases there are hospitals that are excellent, but unfortunately I have to generalize, in northern Italy the health system works better! We wish you our best wishes for a peaceful life and more "luck"💕😘❤️
I really enjoyed that Pepe & Elizabeth helped with the video, Lovely. It is so nice that you Nicki and Carlo allow all your friends to take part in your video's, This really makes it SPECIAL. BLESSINGS.
So glad it was nothing too serious for Carlo at the hospital, and wow such a difference from the lovely calm sea of the summer. Mother Nature can be wild and crazy at times. 🎄🎄🎄
Omg Carlo you are HALARIOUSE!!! I died when you told Nicky how much you love her while she was eating her soup!!! I had to watch it over and over. Each time funnier and funnier. Nicky you are so awesome! I love you guys together and I am sooooo glad you left that perfect part in. That is real life, unscripted and just so genuine! I am so glad you are doing well Carlo and it was nothing too serious. I can’t tell you how much joy you both bring to so many peoples lives, including mine. I was so worried when I saw the thumb nail and now so relieved! Thanks for all that you share with us. Your videos are amazing and really make me smile 😂
So glad everything went well for Carlo ! Incredible to see how different the beach looks near winter. Here in Chile , South America, summer is coming up and temperatures are soaring. Hugs for you and the best week!🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Hi Nicki and Carlo. Thank you again for showing what life is like for you in your part of the world. I love your garden by the way at all turns of the year. Please always keep it real. I like how Elizabeth and her husband explained the weather conditions and why work has to shut down at fall. Most viewers that are not from your part of the world will not understand it if you don’t explain why. So thank you and happy holidays from California.
Glad all is well with Carlo. Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventures once again .. and I can't wait to see Carlo and the kids adventure next week! 🥰
I, too, wondered how Carlo managed all the stairs after surgery, I am glad to hear that was not a problem. So nice to have time with the kids, too! I enjoy all of the videos Nicki and Carlo and family do. I will be in Amalfi for 12 nights next October and keep noticing different places I want to see while there through your videos.
Just wanted you to know that I loved your vlogmas videos last year, the traditional musical instruments were great and the little ones and the parade of cars through the streets, your work is incredible and I hope you know we loved and appreciated them all, and will do so in the future. All the best to Carlo in recovery. Look forward to the Prague video as my husband is from Czechia and we have visited often, love it also. The Christmas markets in Europe are all fabulous, spent one Christmas going around to all the markets in Europe, Vienna, Prague and all the village markets in Czechia, it was so lovely. And the food!!! and wine.
So pleased the surgery went well and Carlo was able to enjoy time away with the family. Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch I look forward to seeing Carlo's video next week.
Glad everything went well for Carlo!!! How he still looks fantastic all the time even with surgery... you guys are so cute together! Thanks again for your videos!
Don't worry about me judiging your video editing, Carlo. We know you are new and are doing a great job. Your English, drones and narration are all great. Yay, Carlo.💜💜 Wonderful for you is this one, Nicki. Love you both 💜💜
It is a very very nice to see that Carlos is all good. It is a very nice to see a family taking vacation together and it is very nice to live in Europe because it is so close for everything to go anywhere . Guys keep up the good work, god bless
I’m glad to know everything went well on Carlo’s surgery! Speedy recovery! What a terrible storm in Positano! 🙏 I didn’t expect how rough the sea was! Take care guys and have a very nice autumn time!! Bye bye 🥰❤️🥰❤️😘😘
With the motorway food looking like a beautiful buffet (made my head spin), the hospital rooms for two, including that food, even the pastina, I have to ask myself, WTH am I doing right now living in Canada, Big thank you to Elizabeth and her husband.
Happy Sunday, I'm glad to hear Carlo is fine. Carlo setting his alarm on his phone to call his mama, made me smile, cause I get in trouble all the time from my mama . Pepe and Elizabeth really give you a real prospective of the ups and down of working on the sea. Nikki , Thank You for bringing us along 💗
Glad to see Carlo is doing just fine after surgery. Nicki's canaloni looked far better than my town's hospital food. Carlo's looked awful. The food at the service station looked phenomenal. Was nice to have Elizabeth and her husband sort of in the video. Enjoyed this very much. Looking forward to Carlos and the kids trip video too.
Nothing compares to thunderstorms by the sea- always so dramatic and beatiful at the same time! Looking forward to see your video from Prague, lived there for 8 years and always curious to see other people experience it. Hope you loved it! 🙂
Whatever the weather you have there, it always looks like heaven on earth and I'm over here in Connecticut ALWAYS envious. 😁 I'm glad Carlo's medical procedure was successful!👏👏🙌🙌
I just sent a link for your channel to my friend. I was telling her about it the other night. I said it’s simple, with beautiful scenery, nice people, and just a pleasure to watch. I am glad Carlo is okay.
I had reason to be in the hospital in Seattle 4 times this spring/summer. They had a menu for patients to order from any time from early morning to late night. They offered quite a variety of foods. Watching the food you had I appreciated even more what I was offered!
I know you assured us that Carlo is ok but its hard not to be concerned. It was good to see him up and on the go, that's a good sign for sure. Looking forward to the Prague video.
So enjoyed the video! I was worried when I saw “hospital” but I was very happy and relieved to see it was minor. It’s good to see you all happy, healthy, and battening down the hatches for winter. Can’t wait to see the Prague video! Best wishes. Marlene 😊
Thank you Nicki for sharing about Carlo, glad everything went well. Love seeing Elisabeth and Peppe 😀🌊 Thank you Elisabeth and Peppe! 🤗😘❤ much love to you and Carlo 🤗❤
You are an absolutely delightful couple and I enjoy all your videos! I hope whatever was the cause of Carlo needing surgery was not too serious! Carlo, you had excellent English when you closed the video & even when your English isn't perfect, you're always very understandable! Keep using your English without worrying about perfection!
Best wishes for speedy recovery💕 Doing very well with the private room price. In Ireland one person 900/1200 e per night and no facilities for someone to stay over.😢
I’m so happy to hear that Carlo’s surgery went well. Kidney stones are horribly painful, I know, but I’m glad that he was able to have them removed before they became acute. Another lovely vlog, thank you xox
From NY, Ciao! This is best people channel on TH-cam! It is filled with the most down to earth and interesting family and friends!

I agree, M! Nicki and Carlo's videos are a pleasurable dessert for the soul! I watch every week! They feel like my Italiano famiglia!
You are so busy, but I would really like to see a video from BOTH of you (“more professional and less professional“ - ha ha) of hints you’ve learned for taking footage and also editing basics.

I grew up in NJ. Monmouth Co 👋
I enjoyed Elizabeth's footage and Pepe's commentary; it was very informative. I had no idea just how rough and wild the sea became in the winter months. I expected the occasional storm but didn't expect it to be generally so rough.
yes unbelievable how rough the sea is - the change is quite astonishing in a few weeks
i agree. it was awesome to learn and watch that.
Glad Carlo is ok, best wishes for a speedy recovery
Loved Elizabeth's filming part, incredible aftermath of the storm and Pepe's description of the storm was very informative. Had no idea Pepe commanded the English language so well, Elizabeth and Pepe should do more mini filming within your videos and maybe give us a view on what their family does during the off season.🙂. Hope you enjoyed your time alone Nicki💕......... Can't wait to see Carlo's video on his vacation with the kids😊
They probably go to Austria where Elizabeth is from . Well , I would .
Nice to know Carlo and the kids are still taking bonding-time trips together. Pastina (Carlo's food in hospital), with egg and butter is still the go to food dish in my family when someone is not feeling well. For me, delighted to see the pasta fagioli dish prepared by Carlo's parents. I love the weather report by the sea from Pepe and Elizabeth. Thank you for the much appreciated videos.
I can’t watch the video right now but saw the hospital gown and had to rush to the comments and make sure My very favorite family in Italy was ok! ❤ Thank you for all your hard work creating and sharing videos of you and your entire family those of blood and friendship, it brings such joy to so many!
Glad all went well with Carlo’s procedure. Kidney stones are no joke. Its amazing how different things look in Positano in winter and how dramatic the weather can become. I will look forward to seeing Carlos’ video of his trip with the kids to Prague-I love that be takes special trips with them. Good dad! As always, thanks for entertaining me on my Sunday afternoon, Nicki!
Carlos is such a natural behind the camera and really looking forward to seeing his “creativity” from the trip. I love a good winter storm to snuggle by the fireplace and read.

Yes, that was my initial thought as well!
The stairs weren't a problem at all, I was fine but I wasn't 100% let's say I was 60% during the holiday with my children, they supported me, and even put up with me!😁💕😘
I imagine they used his drone to fly him up... easy!

As always , so well filmed and so very interesting and I agree the best on TH-cam. Glad Carlo’s surgery went well and was able to enjoy time with his children following that . ❤ Thankyou Nicki and Carlo xx

So happy to see Carlos surgery went well and he got to visit Prague ....Positano still looks beautiful in winter , lovely video thank you 🇨🇦
Glad Carlo is ok! Looking forward to his video of Prague!! The seas were so rough, but still beautiful. You two are the sweetest couple ❣ Until next time, Ciao for now ‼🇮🇹 ♥️ to Holly and Indie🐾🐾

I'm spoiled forever. I love Italy and Spain as I spent a lot of my childhood there when my Dad had to go for work. I live in the East Coast part of the States but no place hits for me like my beloved England 🥰 it is the "warmest and safest harbour to me. xxx
Anyone who isn't subscribed is missing out......... BIG TIME! By far the best thing I watch these days and really look forward to each week.
Glad to see Carlo s surgery had gone well...The weather is very changing in south Italy but fortunately after all this bad weather the sun comes back quickly and there are still beautiful colored flowers and a particular light with the sea and clouds...All your videos are always a pleasure to watch and so well filmed
Carlo, so glad you had such a fast recovery!! Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch…I really treasure them!! Thanks so much!!!
Am glad to hear you will be home in no time… wishing you a speedy recovery Carlos. Going into hospital is always a nervous time no matter how small the procedure. Take care 🤗 ciao ciao
Glad your operation went smoothly Carlo, it was interesting to learn about the Italian health care system. From rough wild seas to the beautiful colours of the plants, winter in Positano is very different from ours. Just got out of a frigid cold 🥶 week of -30 to -35 temperatures. So thank you for the videos, makes the cold winter days here in Alberta Canada much more bearable 😊. ❤ 🇮🇹
I’m in NS! +3c🌞Thing is, many non-Canadians think we have the same weather forecast across our vast country?! Not so!
So glad Carlo’s surgery went well. Thanks for sharing the cost information. It’s such a reality check for those of us in the US. Private hospital rooms, if available, are thousands of dollars a night… thousands! I love seeing the winter see too. Beautiful.
Glad to hear all is well with Carlo and he is now enjoying time with the kids. By the way I love pastina soup. It is comforting and perfect when one is not well. Thanks for sharing the stormy seas. Mother Nature is always in command. Also, I have been following Luca and Sara and my heart goes out to them. It is truly incredible that he is alive and doing ok. Sara is a hero in so many ways. Wow!
Winter,Spring,Summer or Fall its all simply stunning.!! I'm so glad Carlo is doing ok
Its wonderful to see how Carlo is getting more and more confident in front of the camera. I think he is natural talent, fingers cossed;)
You and Carlos are a hoot when you talk together! I'm glad his surgery went well. The winter storms are interesting to watch. All of the earth's elements. Thank you.
Happy Carlos is doing well after surgery and God shows his glory with a rainbow to brighten your day.
Happy to see Carlo recuperating and doing well. That storm was brutal! We had it here on Procida and, fortunately for us, didn't suffer like over on Ischia. Peppe's piece was perfect, as you need to respect the sea and he made that clear. Glad all of you are safe and well. I'm really looking forward to Carlo's video on Prague. It's one of our favorite European cities! We haven't been back in quite a few years, but talking about Christmas time 2023. Looking forward to seeing everything Skye, Tommaso and Carlo did while there. Thanks for yet another really great video, Nicki!
As usual thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery. So glad Carlo is recovering and pray he continues to do well. My husband and I laughed so hard and had to rewind and watch several times when Carlo said “f you”. That was hilarious!
Oh that ocean was so beautiful, I love the seaside in winter with storms. So glad Carlos is feeling better, those stone can be so painful when they move on through. Holly and Indie on the beach made me think of my own dogs that have since passed on, they were the same color and size as yours and they would play like that every day, it was a wonderful sight to see it played out again with your pups! 💜💜
I love that all sea-side towns deal with the same bad weather in winter, all around the world. We have so much in common. It is tough.
I love watching your videos. They are a special treat every Sunday. today was like watching a picture post card come to life. Personally I love the winter storms on the coast. In Paris we used to complain about "le grisatre" because being gray every day gets a bit tedious not to mention depressing. A good storm is always a nice reset.
Wow, nearly had a heart attack when I saw Carlo in hospital …..then your weather beating the living daylights out of the Harbour…..one lost hat……Papa and children jetting off immediately after operation……I need to lie down ….what a roller coaster of a vlog….fantastic, really wonderful. So lovely to see Elizabeth and Peppe too and how right he is, experience and much respect for the sea. Thank you xx
The way Carlo looked at you eating when he could not. He looked just like an hungry wolf poor Caro, love to you both xx
Glad Carlo got himself sorted with his kidney stones! 👍
Love to see the variations of Fagioli in Italy, I have an Italian husband & his mother taught me her way of making it, as well as her meatballs & her lasagne. Sadly she now has dementia, so I’m proud to keep the family recipes going as is the rest of the family ❤️
They always had the most amazing food at the service stations in Italy, fresh pasta, pastries, salads. I never wanted to leave :)
Glad everything went well with Carlo too :) 😍😋😍
I loved it. I am glad Carlo is ok and had fun with Tommy and Skye. I can’t wait to see their adventures. Until next adventure. Caio
Glad to see Carlo is feeling better.
Love the moodiness of Positano.
Cheers! I'm so happy Carlo's surgery went well. I enjoyed seeing Carlo's parents, and Elizabeth and Pepe's commentary about the rough sea was excellent!!! Indy and Holly look happy (I hope Indy isn't too wild with our old girl). Great video; I love you guys!!!! 🤗💕
Your vlog just came up and I enjoyed it. Spent years trying to capture Postiano in watercolours from summer photos, as I've never been to that part of Italy so seeing it in winter was stark, nice to see a community clearing up the damage. I look forward to seeing more of your videos
I’m so glad you are ok Carlo after your surgery. Your videos are great so please don’t underestimate yourself. You are terrific! Holly is so cute in this video playing with Indie!
I’ve heard from friends how painful kidney stones can be, glad Carlo is well after the surgery. We had a girl who was also terrified of thunder storms, she had to find her spot to be comfortable. Looking forward to Prague, you all did a great job in Lisbon and sure you had a great time! Already subscribed for awhile. 😀
Beautiful views! I hope that Carlos has a speedy and successful recovery.
Yes, best wishes for a speedy recovery which requires REST! Hope Carlo gets sufficient rest.
So nice to hear commentary from Peppe. He has a fantastic command of English, I never knew Peppe could speak English, and he does, so very well!
Dear Carlos & Nikki: I'm glad you are doing well Carlos after your surgery while staying in a private room with a view no less. The food looked bland but probably still was good after 24 hours fasting. That storm in Positano was quite dramatic with surging waves, rain, and snow. I can see why Elizabeth has to close Blue Start boat tours at the end of the summer. Great that they have a safe place to tuck Nikki and Carlos' kayaks along with the other small boats. Ciao till next time! Jenny USA
So glad you got some rest, finally! Welcome home! Your Father is so amazing for being 90 yrs. Old! Thank you for your videos
Sorry to hear about the kidney stones and really happy surgery went well. I love your videos and your family.
Nicki aun con la tristeza que trae el invierno y esos dias tan grises(y la despedida a la pileta) Italia se ve tan pintoresca,hermosa!
Que bueno que te encuentres bien Carlo, así como tambiénSara&Luca!..y queremos ver lo q filmasteeeee....
Ameeeeé la sopa de ""dedalitos" de tus Padres😍💕
Pepe&Elizabeth unos genios..
😘💕🌹🌩⚡🐶🐕💖🌺🌺🏞
Boy oh, boy, are the winter seas so much different than the calm peaceful summer seas that we saw in September. Greetings Elizabeth! This is 🐞🇮🇹Vita Maria. I met you this summer in September. I can’t believe where your tent is for blue star and wow the damage from all those rough seas. Thank you for showing us mother nature at her finest. Thank you Elizabeth and Pepe for doing that narration and video of Positano.
Hawaii weather is similar. Summer is the hot and dry season and winter its cooler, stormy, and soaking wet!! Once it rained for 50 days straight! We even get snow on a couple of our tallest mountains! I'm constantly amazed at how much alike places can be half way around the world from each other.
First to like this video always before even before watching always know it will be great
Probably one of my favourite videos for a while, besides Carlos operation (that must have been painful) but it was nice that we got to see the hospital food and travel to get there. The food looked much better than an Australian public hospital 🤮 I love watching the Sea in all of its mood swings, my favourite is a rough sea. Thankyou for showing us bacione x
So glad Carlos was OK after his surgery, it was really great seeing what winters like in Positano. All us travelers kind of forget that yeR around is not what it’s like when we visit. It’s still so beautiful!
Nikki and Carlos, I must say that whatever you video is just absolutely riveting! Even misjointed content and just sharing snipets of your daily lifestyle is magnificent!
Nicki & Carlos- To me, every video you share with us is special but this one was also important for my peace of mind. The timing of it couldn’t have been better… Last year, my husband went away to live with the angels. His doctors had told us the average time he had was around 7 years after diagnosis- sadly, we only had three. We were married for 34 years, and he was my best friend. He had so much life in him, and to lose him at only 56 broke my heart..The dynamic between the two of you always reminds me so much of the way we were together. I think that’s one of the reasons I’ve been watching your videos since I stumbled across your channel years ago.. When he was first diagnosed 4 years ago, we were in the process of finally realizing our dream to permanently move to Italy. He was an airline pilot and was senior enough he’d only have to commute to NY for work 3 times a month. He was already commuting 6 hours to work from where we lived, so in that aspect, it really wouldn’t have been much different. We’ve traveled many times to Italy, and seen a great deal of the country. We loved every bit of it, but the Amalfi coast was our favorite. He especially loved Sorrento…Once he was diagnosed, I sold our house and we came to Italy. We came very close to buying a flat, but ultimately decided he should spend whatever time he had left with family so after a couple of months, we went back to the States and bought a house 10 minutes from his Dad. While he still was able to speak, he made me promise that I would follow through on our dream. I tried to explain it wouldn’t be the same without him, but he was determined I would give him my word to move here, so I promised I would. It’s been the challenge of my life in the last year to try and create a life without him in it. I’m lost without him, but I’m trying to keep looking ahead..💔 Right now, I’m in Italy again, on another reconnaissance mission to find the place to call home, but tomorrow, I return to Florida for the holidays, because my quarantine time is officially over. Unfortunately, while I was here, I contracted Covid and had to go to the local hospital. It was not at all a good experience. I have been working on the language, but unfortunately, none of what I’ve learned thus far applies to a medical situation so that in itself was a challenge. The worst part was the doctors and nurses were clearly overworked- the place was SO crowded, people were on cots lining the hallway. It was chaos. I felt so bad for the medical staff there because they were obviously stressed and overwhelmed, and with good reason. I felt so sick, and very weak, and once I tested positive, they put me in a tiny metal chair, in the corner of a room with one bed that was occupied by an elderly lady, probably in her 90’s. I was so scared I’d pass Covid to her because I ended up sitting there in her room for 7 HOURS until they finally came back with results of X-rays, etc. I tried to ask if she had Covid, using a translator on my phone, but she couldn’t understand me. She seemed very confused and disoriented… The day after, I had four huge bruises from the rushed blood draws/IV… I won’t share the name of the town because I don’t want anyone to feel like I mean this to be critical of them, but I will say the population is around 100k. Which brings me to my point of this novel… Please tell me that this was an anomaly and that when/if hospital care is ever a necessity, it won’t be a repeat of this experience. I was SO happy and relieved to see in this video that Carlos was in a comfortable place and seemed to be very well taken care of. I’m hoping and praying that’s the norm. I’m generally healthy but have some issues with my thyroid and I’d so appreciate reassurance that the healthcare system is there if ever I were to need it. I’m sorry for the lengthy post, I hadn’t intended to write a novel.😔On a brighter note, thank you both so much for all that you do to share your life in Paradise with us all. I always find myself smiling when I’m watching you two!🇮🇹🌼🌱💕
Hi Dana, first of all we want to thank you for watching our videos and for commenting, there is no doubt that you have had some horrible experiences, and somehow, even if indirectly I can understand you, I have lived a long time for the my past work, with many aspects concerning death, and the loss of loved ones, certainly it wasn't my parents or wife/husband or worse my children who had gone further, but do you know in more than 40 years many aspects of these problems got under my skin, up to my heart, I don't want to be misunderstood, working in a cemetery and having to deal with death is not the same thing as suffering the loss of a loved one firsthand, but I know well the interactions, the various ways of dealing with the pain of these losses, I would say (but this is only my interpretation of why these bad things happen) that unfortunately you have really been an "unfortunate" person in recent years.
Actually for me other than being "unlucky" the only real reason why these bad things happen to us, is that this is the reality of life, and there are no other reasons.
As far as hospitals in Italy are concerned, it is clear that during the covid period many things didn't work well, and even before and now, it's not that Italian hospitals work very well, but in general I could say that they are acceptable, and in some cases there are hospitals that are excellent, but unfortunately I have to generalize, in northern Italy the health system works better!
We wish you our best wishes for a peaceful life and more "luck"💕😘❤️
I really enjoyed that Pepe & Elizabeth helped with the video, Lovely. It is so nice that you Nicki and Carlo allow all your friends to take part in your video's, This really makes it SPECIAL. BLESSINGS.
I’m glad Carlo is okay after his surgery. I can’t believe the rough seas and the mess on the beach from the strong waves. Take care of yourselves.
When your feeling a bit below par and watch this video, it really gives you a lift. Thank you x
So glad it was nothing too serious for Carlo at the hospital, and wow such a difference from the lovely calm sea of the summer. Mother Nature can be wild and crazy at times.
🎄🎄🎄
Omg Carlo you are HALARIOUSE!!! I died when you told Nicky how much you love her while she was eating her soup!!! I had to watch it over and over. Each time funnier and funnier. Nicky you are so awesome! I love you guys together and I am sooooo glad you left that perfect part in. That is real life, unscripted and just so genuine!
I am so glad you are doing well Carlo and it was nothing too serious. I can’t tell you how much joy you both bring to so many peoples lives, including mine. I was so worried when I saw the thumb nail and now so relieved! Thanks for all that you share with us. Your videos are amazing and really make me smile 😂
Oh wow! Hope Carlo has a speedy recovery. My mom was born in Ancona. Her family moved there during the war from Naples
Wow! Carlo ❤ that was a speedy recovery. Take care and be well. Ciao from Seattle,Washington🍷
The tenderness between you two is heart-warming. Take care and thank you for sharing your life.
So glad everything went well for Carlo ! Incredible to see how different the beach looks near winter. Here in Chile , South America, summer is coming up and temperatures are soaring. Hugs for you and the best week!🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Hi Nicki and Carlo. Thank you again for showing what life is like for you in your part of the world. I love your garden by the way at all turns of the year. Please always keep it real. I like how Elizabeth and her husband explained the weather conditions and why work has to shut down at fall. Most viewers that are not from your part of the world will not understand it if you don’t explain why. So thank you and happy holidays from California.
I’m wishing you a wonderful holiday season with your ♥️family ⭐️🎄🫶
You guys are just sooo cute!!! Always put a smile on my face. Show more of the extreme weathers … I enjoyed the rain 😅
So glad to see Carlo doing so well after his surgery!
Glad all is well with Carlo. Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventures once again .. and I can't wait to see Carlo and the kids adventure next week! 🥰
I, too, wondered how Carlo managed all the stairs after surgery, I am glad to hear that was not a problem. So nice to have time with the kids, too! I enjoy all of the videos Nicki and Carlo and family do. I will be in Amalfi for 12 nights next October and keep noticing different places I want to see while there through your videos.
Just wanted you to know that I loved your vlogmas videos last year, the traditional musical instruments were great and the little ones and the parade of cars through the streets, your work is incredible and I hope you know we loved and appreciated them all, and will do so in the future. All the best to Carlo in recovery. Look forward to the Prague video as my husband is from Czechia and we have visited often, love it also. The Christmas markets in Europe are all fabulous, spent one Christmas going around to all the markets in Europe, Vienna, Prague and all the village markets in Czechia, it was so lovely. And the food!!! and wine.
So pleased the surgery went well and Carlo was able to enjoy time away with the family. Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch I look forward to seeing Carlo's video next week.
Glad everything went well for Carlo!!! How he still looks fantastic all the time even with surgery... you guys are so cute together! Thanks again for your videos!
Don't worry about me judiging your video editing, Carlo. We know you are new and are doing a great job. Your English, drones and narration are all great. Yay, Carlo.💜💜 Wonderful for you is this one, Nicki. Love you both 💜💜
It is a very very nice to see that Carlos is all good. It is a very nice to see a family taking vacation together and it is very nice to live in Europe because it is so close for everything to go anywhere . Guys keep up the good work, god bless
I’m glad to know everything went well on Carlo’s surgery! Speedy recovery!
What a terrible storm in Positano! 🙏 I didn’t expect how rough the sea was! Take care guys and have a very nice autumn time!! Bye bye 🥰❤️🥰❤️😘😘
So glad the surgery was quick and easy and Carlo was already up and about relatively quickly!! Super quickly!!!!
Sending Carlo prays for speedy and fully recovery, so happy to see you guys doing well, Christmas is round corner, let’s celebrate 🎉 ❤❤❤❤
Nature is beautiful in Positano! I'm glad you're able to see the colors and the waves and the sky during winter time.
With the motorway food looking like a beautiful buffet (made my head spin), the hospital rooms for two, including that food, even the pastina, I have to ask myself, WTH am I doing right now living in Canada, Big thank you to Elizabeth and her husband.
Glad the surgery was successful. The winter sea looked pretty angry. Such beautiful colors and scenery. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Happy Sunday, I'm glad to hear Carlo is fine. Carlo setting his alarm on his phone to call his mama, made me smile, cause I get in trouble all the time from my mama . Pepe and Elizabeth really give you a real prospective of the ups and down of working on the sea. Nikki , Thank You for bringing us along 💗
Glad to see Carlo is doing just fine after surgery. Nicki's canaloni looked far better than my town's hospital food. Carlo's looked awful. The food at the service station looked phenomenal. Was nice to have Elizabeth and her husband sort of in the video. Enjoyed this very much. Looking forward to Carlos and the kids trip video too.
That pale chicken......yikes!!!!!
The boiled apple 🍏 🤢
Wonderful video, love that Carlo’s parents were looking out for Nicki while Carlo and the kids were away.
So glad the surgery went well for Carlo, you're brave staying alone in such weather and no electricity Nicki.
Nothing compares to thunderstorms by the sea- always so dramatic and beatiful at the same time! Looking forward to see your video from Prague, lived there for 8 years and always curious to see other people experience it. Hope you loved it! 🙂
Whatever the weather you have there, it always looks like heaven on earth and I'm over here in Connecticut ALWAYS envious. 😁
I'm glad Carlo's medical procedure was successful!👏👏🙌🙌
The sea is a beautiful thing that requires a massive amount of respect. I look forward to seeing it and Positano in April!!
I just sent a link for your channel to my friend. I was telling her about it the other night. I said it’s simple, with beautiful scenery, nice people, and just a pleasure to watch. I am glad Carlo is okay.
I had reason to be in the hospital in Seattle 4 times this spring/summer. They had a menu for patients to order from any time from early morning to late night. They offered quite a variety of foods. Watching the food you had I appreciated even more what I was offered!
I know you assured us that Carlo is ok but its hard not to be concerned. It was good to see him up and on the go, that's a good sign for sure. Looking forward to the Prague video.
So enjoyed the video! I was worried when I saw “hospital” but I was very happy and relieved to see it was minor. It’s good to see you all happy, healthy, and battening down the hatches for winter. Can’t wait to see the Prague video! Best wishes. Marlene 😊
Thank you Nicki for sharing about Carlo, glad everything went well. Love seeing Elisabeth and Peppe 😀🌊 Thank you Elisabeth and Peppe! 🤗😘❤ much love to you and Carlo 🤗❤
The beach footage Elizabeth took was incredible! Those waves!!!
You are an absolutely delightful couple and I enjoy all your videos! I hope whatever was the cause of Carlo needing surgery was not too serious! Carlo, you had excellent English when you closed the video & even when your English isn't perfect, you're always very understandable! Keep using your English without worrying about perfection!
Best wishes for speedy recovery💕 Doing very well with the private room price. In Ireland one person 900/1200 e per night and no facilities for someone to stay over.😢
I’m so happy to hear that Carlo’s surgery went well. Kidney stones are horribly painful, I know, but I’m glad that he was able to have them removed before they became acute. Another lovely vlog, thank you xox
Glad Carlo is well and that he got his trip in with the kids. I always love your videos, no matter how different ❤️
