The creative options (for a creative couple) in your setting is endless. Curious to see how you'll renovate and decorate all that space and make it even more beautiful! With an art atelier! As for the grounds, you've got so much land! Hope you'll take us on a tour some day. Also, do you have an olive grove? What plans do you already have in place for the use of it? Truly exciting times for you guys!
@storiesfromthecascina
@storiesfromthecascina Год назад
We just discovered a small old olive grove on our land last week. It will need a lot of love to come back to life. We are not in a region where olives are typically grown, so this is quite exceptional! We'll absolutely show you around more of our land in a future video :-)

@@storiesfromthecascina Well, first I'm very honored to have my comment pinned, thank you! How exciting you have an olive grove!!! Nothing beats the taste of freshly pressed olive oil, besides its many healing properties. You've been very blessed with that discovery by itself. And it does deserve to be loved, something we already know you have no lack of. Looking forward to follow along this most exciting of journeys! Cheers from Newton, MA, USA

Your home is absolutely beautiful! My wife and I can relate to the adventure of moving to Italy and purchasing a house here. In 2017, we left everything we knew behind in Los Angeles and moved to Tuscany to live our dream and start new lives. After 5 years of living here, we were able to purchase our dream Italian villa along the Tuscany seaside and we couldn't be happier. We can only imagine how excited you both must be to move into your new home, especially during the beauty of the Italian summer. If you ever need advice on navigating the Italian bureaucracy, we are here to offer our support. Best wishes and congratulations from Casa Ardor ❤

Thanks for sharing!! We don't know your particular situation but if it is of any comfort: we never thought this was ever going to happen for us, until it did. More often than not chasing your dreams means putting one foot in front of the other, slowly, for years. Focusing your energy on what feels doable in the here and now. For us it started with dreaming, going on workaday/wwoofing holidays, taking Italian classes, and much more. It's a journey that began 15+ years ago, but that was largely invisible to anyone but us. We hope you find those small ways to bring your dreams alive too!

@storiesfromthecascina
@storiesfromthecascina Год назад
Yes, in that respect Italy has its challenges - but it's more a matter of being patient and learning to navigate the bureaucracy (and calling in a good geometra and commercialista to help with that). On the bright side: those rules and regulations are also why historic town centers in Italy are some of the best preserved in the whole of Europe. Renovating an existing structure here is a lot easier than getting the permissions for building something entirely new in a location like ours.

Very nice house with great potential. I was delighted with the old part of it with the built-in cupboard in the wall with wooden doors and stone floor, the windows give a lot of light. There is a bricked up fireplace in one of the rooms? They must have used to heat the house before they installed central heating? There are indeed many things left from the former owners in the living room there is a very nice chandelier and the furniture is interesting too. The house is very cosy, I think you will enjoy living in it and the views from the window WOW.

What a beautiful canvas to build on. The views around your property pull on my emotions. Those mortar's were a nice find!

Yeah, we were totally surprised we found those mortars. And there's a 3rd one as well, larger and way more worn, lurking in the stables. We count ourselves lucky to have found this property and been able to buy it, in such beautiful landscape. Every time we walk out the door or go grocery shopping, we're awe struck. We hope all is well in down under?

I love the Time Capsule of furniture. Some of it is very nice. Looks like real wood. Not like todays pressed board. Hopefully just some woodworm treatment will suffice. The farmhouse has a lot of charm. And it’s very spacious. Can’t wait to see you’re progress.😊

Thanks for following our journey! The furniture is of varying quality but we will be keeping many pieces. And there's definitely many that can be saved. The items which have woodworm damage are mostly the ones made from untreated (not stained, painted or varnished) wood.

Snow for some reason I did not think Italy got snow. The roads look so narrow whining but the views are wonderful. I like the way you present your video. I especially like the tour of your home using the draft of the rooms this is very understandable. It looks like a lot of cleaning and painting ahead of you. I am looking forward to next week.

Italy has alpine region in the north.

The Langhe is the hilly area that connects the two mountain ranges in Italy, the Alps and the Apennines. Our house is at 555 meter above sea level and on a ridge which means it is often colder there than down in the valleys.

I like your approach to the vlog and to you both as a couple. Have you mentioned what you planned to do with all those bedrooms? A B&B? Excited to see the progress.

We'll do a dedicated video about our plans but yes, we'll do a few holiday cottages and b&b. Since we're both creatives we'll also make a few dedicated creative spaces/ateliers for different things (metal working, wood working, textiles/art).

Your video is so well explained (the floor plan was a great idea!) and vivid that even the smell came across. You have a heap of work ahead of you. Ancora tanti auguri!

@storiesfromthecascina Год назад
We are planning to keep almost all the furniture that's there. There are a few pieces that are so eaten by bugs that it's nearly impossible to restore them, but everything else stays.

You could put some beautiful cobblestone flooring. Would be very nice. It's a beautiful farm.

aventura fascinante y bella cinematografía. Me encanta como el hombre contempla, observa, camina, come, relaja frente al fuego, mientras la mujer hace todo el trabajo. Típico.
