👩🏼‍💻ABOUT US:
We are Marisa and David, originally from Australia and the UK, we are 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 region.

We are both in our 60s, ate newly weds and are currently renovating 3 separate buildings in our village.

This is our journey and we are excited to be taking you along for the ride.

♥️THANK YOU♥️
It’s a wonderful joy for us to share our lives with you all via our Youtube.
We are grateful for your support, kindness and friendship and thank you for joining us on our journey.
Love and light to you all,
Marisa & David 🫶🏼♥️🫶🏼

  1. Thanks for sharing this. We loved seeing Lake Garda and the sights (including that huge 'serves one' gelato). Such a tragedy you got so badly hurt, we could see the pain etched on your face 😢. Fast forward to today and glad you're much better. ♥️♥️♥️

  2. Magnificent. Thank you for this video. We will be traveling by train from Verona and staying in Sirmione in June. Can't wait! Btw, you're both very charming and watchable. Great job. Not sure what type of equipment you use to record, but the visuals and audio were fantastic. Bravissimo!

  3. Guys, you went through the ringer on this trip but still brought us the beauty and the real-life stuff! Sharing this one with our subscribers that love Lake Garda, so many stunning views. THANK YOU and have a lovely weekend 😘❤

  4. I slipped and fell on a wet gym locker room floor and really banged up my elbow several years ago. So scary when those things happen so fast out of nowhere. So sorry this happened to you, Marisa. Your positive spirit really shined bright through it all, truly admirable. Love and continued healing to you!

  5. Ciao Marisa and David
    Thanks to you both for this fab video and showing us the beauty of the lake and area.
    Marisa, I admire your strength and positivity and wishing you both a happy and healthy 2025 👍🏻❤️🤗🙏🏻

  6. Very nice video Marisa especially seeing you were out of action,David did a great job in your place,it’s a shame you missed the sight seeing loved Maria Callas Villa and the scenery just beautiful.Good news is you have been making a good recovery ❤️🌞🙏

  7. Lake Garda is beautiful, definitely would love to visit there one day.
    We did visit Lake Como which also is stunning.

    I’m glad to see though that you are recovery well. 😊

  8. Garda Lake is so beautiful. Been there several times, one of my favorite places in Italy. People there are so nice and friendly. So sorry about your accidents there. First the car, and then you was so unfortunate in the hotel.😪 Must have been a terrible experience, Marisa. Hope you are healing well now? Btw David did a good job with the camera.👍Lots of hugs to you both. ❤🙏

  9. Hi Marisa and David. This is such a wonderful video. What a stunning place to visit. Apart from your mishap, Marisa. I'm sorry this happened to you. I really hope that you have now fully healed 🙏 I'm looking forward to more of your adventures. Take care. Sending love and hugs 😊❤ 💐 🌹 🌸 🫂

  10. Hi Marisa and David, wow what a way to start the holiday with a flat tyre 😂. Absolutely beautiful by Lake Garda ❤. Your view from your room was gorgeous 😍. Can’t get over the colours at sunset 🌅.oh dear poor you about your fall, now I understand about your therapies . Crazy what a silly fall can do, so scary! Thank goodness you had your own Frank nightingale!!. David did a brilliant job at vlogging 👍🏻👍🏻. I hope you get compensated soon and that was totally the hotels fault. Thanks for sharing this ragazzi, all the best 😘😘

  11. So so sorry to hear about your accident, 😢what a terrible experience. Hope you are up and running real soon! We did enjoy the other parts of your video very much…Thank you

  12. My husband and I are planning a trip to Chianni and surrounding areas where would be the best hotel to stay in chianni?

  13. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Lake Garda and Sermione with us. It makes me want to visit there too one day. That fall though, how awful! You are one tough cookie, Marisa and David doing his part to continue filiming and taking good care of you. It was very touching.

  14. Wow! I really have to get up there and see that beautiful area! And it was interesting to see the scene of the crime for your accident. It really makes it more real, seeing the water stain on the curtains. My gosh, that must have hurt so badly!
    So glad you’re mending. ❤

  15. How often is it that through no fault of our own our lives take unexpected twists and turns. Hopefully you're almost 100% again. Lago di Garda is a lovely area so we hope you will get back there some time to explore all the villages… plan it for the non busy season though (which sadly seems to be getting shorter and shorter). Best wishes Maria e Rowan

  16. I would not mind being inconvenienced with a flat tire at Lago de Garda. Enjoying lunch and the beautiful scenery would be well worth it! Best of luck and good health in 2025 to you both.
