Our story
I never set out to live in a small village in southern Italy, yet over time Grottole became the place that felt most like home. What drew me in wasn’t scenery or architecture, but the quiet depth of daily life and the people who shape it. If you’re curious what that actually feels like, follow the path below and wander a little further.
Renovating Our Home
Renovating our home in Grottole turned out to be less a construction project and more a long education in patience, local building logic, and my own miscalculations. What began as a simple idea slowly became a three-year process of decisions, surprises, thrift-store finds, and learning when to trust local expertise. If you’re curious how an old stone house reshapes your expectations — step inside below.
Media & Conversations
From time to time, I find myself invited into conversations about life in a small Italian village, the expectations people carry about relocation, and how daily life here actually unfolds. These podcast discussions are simply reflections drawn from lived experience about what it’s really like to live in a place like Grottole. If you’d like to listen in on those conversations, you’ll find them just below.
