Almost 12 years ago Nicolas and I made our Italian dream come true and moved from Belgium to the Italian countryside where we started a never ending renovation project and opened Agriturismo Verdita, self-catering apartments on a lavenderfarm.
We said goodbye to our jobs (Nicolas was a lawyer and I was a psychologist) and our safe existence in the city to become farmers on a hill in “the middle of nowhere” in a house that wasn’t really inhabitable at the time.
Of course it was a big gamble: we didn’t have a green thumb (lavenderplants on our terrace in Ghent never survived for long) and no renovation skills. But under the Italian sun everything would be different !
Unfortunately we lost our Indy in 2013 due to renal failure

Because too often garbage is thrown out of the cars along the main road in the valley, the local voluntary fire brigade occasionally organizes a clean-up campaign with his volunteers. Yesterday Nicolas and his “colleagues” took to the streets and unfortunately the loot was impressive. The most bizarre part was the car door ... How did this end up here? ... See MoreSee Less
When you live on a lonely hill in the middle of the Italian countryside you don't expect being able to go to events like this at such a short drive from home. But thankfully there is Teatro Cantiere in our neighboring village, Piana Crixia.
