Introduction

Natasha and I came to Italy in March 2008, after many years of visiting my mothers family here in Citta di Castello, we had decided that this would be the place where we wanted to bring our children up, and escape the pressures and grind of a typically english executive lifestyle!
In December 2009, we completed the purchase of a fantastic farmhouse here in the Upper Tiber Valley close to the border between Umbria and Tuscany.
With the help of my father-in-law Kevin, a builder of 45 years experience and my family here in Italy who are well respected Geometras and Architects, we hope to transform this wonderfull old building into luxury self-catering/B&B accommodation for discerning travellers!
We hope you have as much fun reading about our experiences as we hope to have during the process and we hope to welcome you as guests to our wonderful home in due course ! Ciao for now!
