  • We recently bought a house in Tuscany. We will be dividing our time between the Amalfi Coast and Tuscany, alternating every 2-3 months for now. We are not selling our Positano home, we will be back there in late March. Our blind cat Itty Bitty Kitty is being looked after by our nephew who lives upstairs and is in good company with Not-My-Cat and Not-My-Kitten.

    I am married to an Italian American. Purely Italian because both sets of grandparents immigrated from Italy. He is a lot like Carlo. He is romantic, can cook and loves gardening and creating projects for our home. He can fix anything! Oh and has a good sense of humor too. Big plus was his huge extended clan that welcomed his British wife with open arms. We have been married for 56 years and yes, I realize just how lucky I am. I really enjoy watching your videos. We spent a lovely vacation in Positano and had many memorable moments and terrific meals.

    I loved this video. Carlo is every woman's dream husband. What a gem of a man. It' s exciting watching the two of you refurbish your home. Please think twice about shortening the porch. You may find that you need that space as you make friends, and have company over. I can't wait for the next video. Well done, you.

    My goodness, I get tired just watching you both tackling these projects! You both are working so hard but the rewards will be bountiful. I must say that Carlo does not have the typical Italian male personality of having a temper or being stubborn. He is so gentle and kind as well as willing to do anything to make Nicki happy. You are both well suited to each other. Can't wait to see more!

Loved the contrast in deliveries of washing machines between Tuscany to Positano. Says it all. Every bit of your hard work will show in your new home and will pay off in your increased comfort. Well done and more strength to you both. Happy homing, cheers, Muffy from Oz.🔨🪛🪚🔧

Many of us were shocked at the condition the former owners were allowed to leave the house in. Including the red tape and difficulties in just buying your dream home. Now we are learning other things like cashless
    banks, limits on accessing your own funds via debit cards, and sorry to say some rather unpleasant comments. I hope you realize we love you, Carlo, your extended families, pets, and friends. We are 100% behind your happy new adventure. God bless you❤️

    Ah Nicki & Carlo… I did not think I could love your channel more than all of your videos in Positano by the sea. I’ve discovered I was mistaken as Tuscany has long been in my dreams. You’ve purchased a gem of a house and your DH Carlo appears equally thrilled. The best of both worlds exists for you now with being able to move between two equally gorgeous locations. I cannot be happier for you both!
    Carlo, since the legs on your kitchen sink cabinet are falling off, you can purchase a “Table Leg Straight Top Plate” to screw into the bottom of the cabinet at each corner, then screw each leg into one of those plates to secure them. I’m sure you’ve probably considered other ways, too. Re-glueing & doweling where possible may help so you can reuse the cabinet on your garden patio. The prices for your purchases are amazingly low, which is perfect! I’ve found some amazing furniture finds second hand and find it helps create a curated look. Your pups have taken a shine to Tuscany… they must find the freedom to roam exciting. That sunset shot is worthy of creating prints for sale. I know I’d buy one to frame & hang on my wall. Please continue to take us on adventures through Tuscany and second hand shops. Loved everything you bought. If you have time make your videos longer, please consider it. I’m so excited to see you’ve published a new video and am always wishing for more when the end comes. I’m sending you beautiful people my kindest wishes for many more happy & adventurous years together. I’m sure family will be eager to visit. If you ever decide to build a tiny house to let in the spring & summer I’d like to send someone special to me to experience Italy for the first time. I believe like me she’d never want to leave!!!

    The green pasture reminded me of the movie, "The Sound of Music." You guys make beautiful music together. Your enthusiasm and love of life reminds of the words written by the English writer, Virginia Woolf: "...Stay alive, with all of yourself, with every cell of your body, with every fiber of your skin. Stay alive, learn, study, think, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design. Stay alive, stay alive inside you, stay alive outside too, fill yourself with the colors of the world, fill yourself with peace, fill yourself with hope. Stay alive with joy. There is only one thing you must not waste about life, and that is life itself." God bless both of you!❤

    I absolutely love the views, the land, the trails, open fields, the light, and natural beauty. It's glorious. When you spoke about moving, I thought, how could you possibly leave those magnificent ocean views, beaches, quaint villages, and history. Now that I have seen your new home, surrounding areas, and the fact that you no longer must contend with the challenges of 500 steps, I realize you may not miss Positano as much. Plus, you now have so much more room!!! Your new house will be homey, cozy, beautiful, and filled with so much love and joy.

    I enjoy you taking us to the 2nd hand markets and the local walks.

    • @AriaLuminosa
      @AriaLuminosa 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In Italy, hunting areas are closed to non-hunters during the hunting season and are well marked by signs, so theoretically the possibility of running into danger is extremely limited. There have been no accidents involving non-hunters for years for this very reason. If Carlo and Nicki don't let their dogs loose near prohibited areas there won't be any problems, my advice is to find out where the hunting areas are and stay away from them during the hunting season, the countryside is very wide and they can walk elsewhere with serenity.

    You two seem like two 20 year olds setting up house together, both working very hard. Very exciting. You're going to love Tuscany. I lived in Lucca for 30 years and I miss it badly. But before that we moved house about 12 times...4 times in Rome 3 times in Sardegna, twice in Sicily, Taranto and twice in Lucca. We became excellent packer uppers. Be careful in the hunting season in Tuscany - it's the region with the most casualties from hunters - civilians and the hunters themselves. In Italy in 2023/2024 there have already been 12 deaths and 56 wounded. Be careful with your lovely dogs, some hunters are very trigger happy!. Anyway, on with the good work. 🤩☑

    Hi from France, I have found you YT channel few days ago and I really love it. Make me discover Amalfi villages , coast and food. In one week I have watched nearly all your videos. And probably now I will discover Toscany . I am from Gascogne in France which is often called the French Toscany so.... Stay funny, smily now you are at the beginning of a new life less tiring (may be you will miss the 450 steps during few months in the year). Sorry if my English is not so good.

    OMG!!! The table!!!!!! The Table!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Was your Dad in the service/military Nicki? The way he ties packages appears skilled. The happiness, joy, jubilation between you both and the dogs is contagious. I’m over here in NYC with a massive smile on my face. Whooohoooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 😊 You two may want to acquire bright orange collars for the dogs, and orange hats or vest while navigating hunting season in Tuscany. The views are breathtakingly beautiful, I’m so so so happy for you both!❤

    What a beautiful video! That magnificent sunset at the end really made your home so warm and inviting. So happy for you Nikki finding this place with it's many trails to walk on, the open fields of green pasture grass. Watching you, Carlo and the dogs really enjoying yourselves. The well that you found earlier, maybe Carlo when he has a moment to make a cover strong enough to sit over the well. That can be very dangerous if the doggies are ahead of you or perhaps other animals or people. And hunting season. I was startled to see the man with the rifle over his shoulder. Am thinking of the dogs, where some one may think its a boar or a deer and try to shoot it. You, Carlo, the dogs, your dear friends, and your family might be able to come visit you there, and enjoy the Tuscany Valley. I can see your porch all fixed up the way you like it, with rocking chairs or a swing bench looking out at those magnificent sunsets! Thank you for sharing your week in your new place. Spring is only 40 days away (the ground hog did not see his shadow).

      @pumpupjam9648….My worries exactly, the deep open well and the dogs being shot by hunters..because they run so far ahead of you on your walk.
      Also wild boars orange other animals that might attack the dogs….so please be careful🇨🇦

    @mircat28 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I don’t think they look at it as work. It’s as if they are newly weds starting out their lives together, They are both so happy. Lovebirds picking out furniture, decorating their nest! It’s all fun we get tired because we haven’t left the 1,000 Steps of Death as they have. I’d be tempted to buy large everything just so I could drive up to the door and walk it in! They may never get over the joy of that!

    You're very lucky to have a husband who is handy and can fix anything. Indy's eyes are very attractive (watch her eyes when you drove back leaving the 2nd hand market), and cute to see the dogs just get comfy in their grandpa's gifts. Carlo is an easy going man, so while having the lovely house to come together, I am sure he is just happy to fix the house and eat whatever food the wife is preparing, even the simplest food he is going to cherish it. Lovely couple and I enjoy and look forward to your post every Sunday! From Islamorada (Keys), Florida

    Okay, this is amazing…you’re amazing. I love how flexible you all are, and putting your home together with inexpensive found things. My home is like that…things I’ve curated during my life and 34 years of marriage. It’s not magazine worthy, perhaps…but it’s home. This journey with you and Carlo is so interesting. Thanks!!!! 🇺🇸💜

    Dear Nicki, just ring your bank and get them to increase your limit on your card. Hopefully it will work where you are, as this is what happens in Australia. Ours is actually a daily limit. Best of luck. I have only just found your show, recommended it to my friend as it is so lovely to watch. Love your little dogs, so amazed that Holly I think is her name, trots along so beautifully with you and that you are able to take your everywhere you go - just beautiful. You guys are so fit,I could not imagine walking up all those steps to your home, but I am so much older. Love to Carlos as well. Best of luck for your future in Tuscany.❤

    It's going to be such a wonderful journey watching how your home in Tuscany evolves. The views are absolutely incredible and such a peaceful presence all around. The table you found is stunning and will serve you well for many years. Carlo's skills know no bounds obviously. Enjoy the transition process and just take each day as it comes. PS Your sweet Dad is a marvelous packer - how thoughtful and precise he is with his packing skills. Not everyone can do what he did.

I feel privileged sharing this journey with you and I can't wait to see what you do with this amazing opportunity; I am so very happy for you! And Holly is still the sweetest wee girl on TH-cam! God bless your sweet family.

    I’m so happy with your second home adventure! The two of you work so hard and get so many things done. Mi piace moltissimo guardarvi, e sempre imparo cose nuove su l’Italia, su Positano. Viaggiare con voi è tutta un’esperienza. Vi ringrazio tantissimo per la vostra generosità.
    I just love your videos and all the wonderful things that you do and you share with your audience. There is always something exciting and fun. Thank you, so much! 🤩🤩🤩

    Carlo looks so happy when all he has to contend with is one step, such a novelty. You both look so joyous with your new house, moving in will have saved you so much time in your day. The stainless steel sink top will do well as part of an outdoor kitchen. I wasn’t clear as to whether you are using a credit card, if you are, brilliant as you are protected if you have problems with your purchases etc. Can I suggested to help you with your sleep you create a Day Book where you list your jobs etc and break them down into sequential jobs, now I’m old school and like a paper A4 book, my husband who was a property developer liked a good spreadsheet where he’d list the job, the materials, if an expert was needed etc. You both look so happy and although working hard relaxed. Enjoying being included in your journey 🎉😊

    Good very early AM Carlo, I wanted you to know that I did post about this vlog.I difind it frustrating that my efforts to convey my appreciation for your time seem to disappear.Perhaps I missed it when I pawed through the volume of comments here but it is important to me that you know I do thankyou for this.I wish you could have adforded that neat & unusual cupboard unit for so very many uros.With such a 'home plate ' it certainly shows your discipline.I know you scored terrific bargains there & had so much fun doing it.I am so thrilled that you are living your dream finally & parking your car where you can merely step , flatly outside your door & fire up the engine.Can't wait to see your families visit your new Tuscany homestead.Maybe that's complicated to happen but I hope it can be! So fun to see the puppies responses.They are so dear.It truly brings me to tears watching this.Heartstrings are stretched across the miles! Take good care.❤❤❤❤.

    Nicki and Carlo, indie and Holly, Sky and Tomas and all your dear friends and family, I wish you the most magical year ahead full of wonder and many blessings! I live in a beautiful part of the world too, Jervis Bay in Australia. I long to visit Italy just to meet you two! You are both such an inspiration to me as a couple and individually. I can't wait for your videos to be uploaded. They are so well filmed and narrated and I enjoy the switch between the Italian and English. Your new Tuscan home is divine and the surrounds are so idyllic!! Carlo, your handyman skills are incredible. You are the perfect house husband and on top of that, kind, sweet, loving, strong, patient, joyful and protective. When you call Nicki 'Amore' my heart melts! The only path in 2024 is LOVE ❤ and that is what beams out from your videos. A great lesson for all of us around the world! It's all about LOVE! Whatever the question, LOVE ❤️ is the answer! Hugs and kisses for you and the doggies. As Luka and Sara say so beautifully, Love Always Wins! ❤️ Much Love and many Blessings in your superb new home! Amore Vinche Sempre MICHELLE Xoxox

    How exciting! You've found some excellent bargains at the secondhand market. Holly and Indie seemed to love their new doggie beds from England. And you finally got the whimsically-painted chair you've been coveting (it reminds me of my rainbow-colored SW petroglyphs chair I painted years ago). Your new Tuscany home is starting to acquire its unique personality and character with all of the beautiful furniture. A little spit and polish and it will really pop! I'm sure Carlo is thrilled to pieces that deliveries to the new Tuscany home don't require a carrillo to transport heavy items like he did in Positano. Easy-peasy! Have fun in your new home!

I can't wait until you and Carlo have Skye, Nik, Elizabeth & family, Celine and all your family and friends over and see you all enjoying a relaxing time. You must bring Harry over to have a weekend or long week's break in Tuscany with you all. That will be the chocolate on the cake for you!

    The main good reason for using a credit card (in UK) is your purchases are protected. If store goes bust you will get your money back. I use my for all major large purchases plus travel - pay it off every month - never paid interest for over 30 years!

    I lived in Trieste as a baby and until age 5. 1947 to 1951..I remember most wonderful Italy...Miramare Castle, which was a US Army Headquarters and beach. We lived downtown and walking at ground level...the delightful smells from the shops are forever embedded in my brain. I can't tolerate weak nasty coffee..and boring food! I have always said if I go missing don't come looking for me...'I WILL BE IN ITALIA!! I cry as I see the views in your videos..so happy for your, but sad that I miss Italy so much!
