Ciao! I'm Bella and I've created this channel to document the journey I'm going on as I return to live in Italy after moving to England as a child. I've picked the beautiful, green region of Abruzzo to start my mortgage-free life in the sun, surrounded by mountains, beautiful coastline and plenty of wildlife! Join me as I attempt to be as self-sufficient as possible whilst exploring this stunning part of the world.
Beautiful video. We just came back from minori. We spent a day in ravello and it’s lovely. We also visited villa ruffalo and cimbrone. I couldn’t pick which I liked more. Taking an early break for cappuccino and the best pistachio cornetto at the restaurant next to the church was perfect. The whole coast was beautiful and each little town had something distinct to offer.
Thank you so much, lovely comments like this make all the filming and editing worthwhile ☺️ I think Villa Rufolo just about edged it for me but then there is the wonderful infinity terrace at Cimbrone so it’s a tough call! Will have to try that restaurant next time! We’ve just returned from Vietri Sul Mare, did you visit on your travels?
@@katiemaciag6738 Oh wow, what an experience! Positano is absolutely stunning, I don’t think there’s anywhere quite like it. Although I’d like to visit Procida soon!

Hi there, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! We stayed in Villa San Cosma which you can book with directly. We also had pizza at Giuliana’s View and lunch the next day at Villa Maria 😊

Hi! It was called Villa San Cosma - I discovered that you get a better price if you book directly than if you use Booking.com etc so that’s something to bear in mind 😊
@@18onip Thank you so much! Where are you based in the world? We stayed at Villa San Cosma in Ravello which I would definitely recommend. I had to look up Lesley-Anne Down but that’s a huge compliment so please thank your wife for me! ☺️
@@LivingLaVitaBella I am in Texas. I have lived, visited, and worked in different places in the world and the USA. My family is two generations removed from Italy. I hear some places are going cheap because of vacancies or no one wants to keep a country house they inherited. Thinking about the Campania area.
@@frederickcampana5717 Yes property prices are very reasonable! I absolutely love the Campania region (I was born there) - I think it has the best cuisine in Italy and gorgeous coastline. I wish you luck in finding your perfect home!
This is much better...the whole video is very nice ... i prefer chiks, or pulcini than the snakes...best compliment for your outfit... i love it... e poi...Che bella ragazza ho visto..Grazie Bella... Till next time...🥰🥰🥰🤗🤔🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍
Very nice video. We arw going to Italy for the first time in Oct and Nov tgis year. We want to experience a real italy and unlike many we are not going to the big cities but the less traveled areas. Starting in the cilento coast, puglio, abruzzo, umbria and fly out to rome. What time did you harvest the olives? How are the roads from abruzzo to Umbria Thank you John
Hi John, thanks so much for the positive feedback! Sounds like you have a great itinerary there - you’ll get to see a variety of different landscapes but in a more authentic way. Last year we harvested in the second week of October which is quite early but it had been a very hot summer so they were ready. I think usually end of October/beginning of November is when the harvest takes place. The motorway from Umbria to Abruzzo is amazing. However, once you get into Abruzzo the roads are pretty potholed and terrible, I have to admit, and everywhere takes longer than you think because of the mountains in the way!
My dad loves this video. He said it is the best ever tribute to Diego. It brings tears to his eyes when you say: “you don’t care what (some) people say ….”. It’s beautiful the way you say it. We are based in London. Please continue doing this kind of videos in English.
Hi Bella... thanks for the video , i like it so much, as usual... real life of a village in Abruzzo its tradition and the great food and wine... and you did a great job for your olives... we wait till october/november... and for the pleasure of my eyes i see una gran bella ragazza... 🥰🥰🥰🤗👍🌹🌹🌹

Roba da Matti... Grazie ! a big hug ...to you... a cuddle to Boobie and Miss Tabitha.... she can ruin you door...nice rooster Mr. Don Diego..🥰🥰🥰🤗👍🙏🌹🌹🌹
My brother-in-law and I are going to start a olive oil orchard in California we want to know what is the best Olive for oil what species of olive? We're going to plant about a hundred olive trees we're trying to think of what two species would we want to do. We figure we are going to make it a family event picking olives and having a picnic. We aren't really into it to make money I'm going to keep my regular job. We want to make a good quality olive oil.
Hi! Thanks for watching my video 😊 I don’t know what kind of soil you have there but the top varieties here for making olive oil are Sessana, Leccino, Coratina, and Itrana. My olive oil comes out with quite a peppery flavour and very rich colour. I love the idea of getting all the family together to pick! This month I need to start pruning the trees so I’m hoping to film another video about that ☺️
@@michaellangdon7608 No here people either do it straight after the harvest or in March but the majority seem to do it in March, probably because they’re too worn out after the harvest like I was 😂
I do my pruning in the fall. But that's my other fruiting trees. I'm still learning about the olive tree. I would show you a picture of the land that we're going to be farming but I don't know how to do it on RU-vid.
