How to find your Italian interior design style
Italian style can be summed up as understated timeless luxury. Italians make glamour look effortless.

Italian designers, artists, craftspeople and furniture makers have a passion for what they do.
My top places and events in Italy
We purchased our property in Apulia, Italy, 11 years ago this month, and have lived here permanently ever since. Our Italian home, that we lovingly renovated ourselves, is our most favourite place to be. Sitting in our large walled courtyard and surrounded by 8 acres of land, it is our haven away from the craziness going on in the world. History and culture are a big thing here in Italy, so when I was asked what my favourite places and events are, I quickly realised that these elements are actually a big part of what makes Italy my favourite country.Recent News
