BUONGIORNO lovely friends and viewers!
Welcome to “Tales from Tuscany”!
We are Marisa and David, Australian expats now living part-time in Chianni Tuscany.
During the Global Pandemic, we decided to buy our Italian dream home, sight unseen and with no prior knowledge of the area.
This is our journey and we are taking you along with us!
TODAY’S VLOG…
We are on the last leg of our journey throughout Britain but really wanted to share some footage from Tuscany with you taken just before leaving, as well as renovation footage shot by my friend Fiona, during our absence!
It’s all systems GOOOO…so many changes and so much fun!
As always, we hope you enjoy the time you spend with us, as much as we love having you with us!
Love and hugs…
Baci ed abbracci 😀
Marisa and David xoxoxo

I have just arrived back to a very, very warm Chianni but I really wanted to share what happened prior, during and right up until I arrived back! Luckily my gorgeous friend Fiona filmed our renovation updates for me, so here they are mixed in with a fabulous local wine tasting, and some other lovely bits and pieces! Can't wait to continue sharing our updates now that I'm back! Stay tuned 🥰🤗😘
Great vlog & we'll definitely be planning a pilgrimage to Amarsi. Can't wait to try the local vini & can't wait to see your place finished (& ours started 🤞). Oh, & I owe you and David a meal in case you didn't know 😘😂❤️. Ps. We loved meeting you both. ❤️❤️
I’m also looking for a house in Italy. I still have a few years before I can retire and then hopefully, I will be in Italy. I’m hoping to meet you one day. You’re such a sweet person ,you and your husband both.❤

I have been in Tuscany a lot of times , always the same feelings. I am from Greece and I hope you will visit my country someday ! It is worth it ! Have a nice time in your lovely renovated house. I wish you all the
best ! Lots of love to both of you. You are an amazing couple !!!
❤❤❤
Lovely vlog of both countries.Such quick workers considering how long you have waited for them to arrive.We wait with anticipation for the results.🎉😄⛱️would you believe the sun has just appeared in Scotland.🌞😄
Hello. Your are certainly seeing the sights in England while all the work is being done – very expertly back in Chianni!! The best of both worlds aside from rain in the UK
It wouldn’t be an authentic visit if it didn’t rain 😅😅
Can’t wait to see the more interesting ( for me) decor vlogs in your cantina! Good luck with everything. Anne ( in Spain now but soon back to the UK before relocating to Italy!!!) Yes, I finally bought a house there. Completion date is mid Sept.🤞🤞
Bellissimo video, complimenti ❤.
Ciao Marisa, David and Fiona, you are eating and drinking all of my favorite thing. Oh my God the digger I was thinking there is no way that thing is coming out of there, apparently it did, net shot the cement mixer, these guys truly are masters at their craft. Another beautiful video, Grazie Mille. Tanto amore da N.Y.
Ciao, Marisa & David!
What perfect and calm workers 👍🏻 do your renovation project in beautiful Chianni; and also in England the man on the roof – adore that traditional way of restauration/renovation❣
But what I loved was your tasting "vino e prelibatezze" 😉😋 ❤ (I am "hungry" now 😂)
Ti abbraccio, Sabine🇦🇹
OMG! I couldn't watch the digger squeeze through the doorway. Amazing! Those guys are worth their weight in gold. Lovely to see the renovations coming along 😍🤩💛
Another absolutely beautiful vlog. Marissa, I do hope your foot is healing well.
The wines and food looked delicious. The scenery is spectacular. Those workers do amazing work. Those little diggers can get in places we don't expect.
It was lovely to meet your YouTube friends.❤
Another great video. It's lovely to see the renovation on the way. It all looks pretty amazing 👏 Sending hugs and love your way 😊❤❤
So much going on! 🤩 From mellow Merlot, nice new friends and craftsmen doing something impossible.😯Wow, thank you for sharing.❤
