BUONGIORNO friends and viewers!

Welcome back 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!

Seasonal greetings to all our beautiful viewers.

We hope that you all had the most amazing Christmas or if you don’t celebrate Christmas like we do, then we send our very best seasonal wishes to you all!

This week in “Tales from Tuscany”, we are definitely staying closer to home in Chianni, with loads of furniture arriving at the house, new objects being paced and put together and a real feeling of “becoming a home” starting to happen! It makes us so happy!
THANK YOU IKEA for saving us 😀

You’ll experience some typical village life with us …eating out in Chianni, evening strolls and we also take an afternoon off from decorating to discover the incredibly charming village of Lajatico (birthplace of Andrea Bocelli and home to his yearly outdoor concerts).

Come join us on our little journey…we don’t you’ll be disappointed!

In the meantime, David and I would love to thank you all for your continual support and wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR full of love, laughter, great health, peace, serenity and may all your 2023 dreams come true!

Love and hugs!
Baci ed abbracci 😀
Marisa and David xoxoxo

  6. Marisa and David thank you for showing us the beautiful town of Lajatico what a beautiful spot, I love all the restorations, the art work and those views. 💖💖💖

  7. Thank you for another beautiful video Marisa! I’m really impressed by Lajatico, very charming and beautiful Tuscan village, also the couch that you bought looks so so good 😍

  8. We went to Lajatico on our very first Wednesday Adventure (our lockdown resolution to take a day off per week when possible) right after getting out of the first lockdown in May 2020. We'll go back and have another look because that was the weirdest feeling back then. Loving how your house was coming together and it's fun spotting the bits and pieces you bought from us. xxx

  9. Marisa and David. What wonderful videos you are sharing about your beautiful Italian adventures. You have a great way with your videos. And a great fun voice. We are enjoying them all. And appreciate you both.
    Grazie Millie ❤
