We’re Marta and Dan — after 20 years in London, we’re following a long-held dream and moving to Italy 🇮🇹
We’re leaving behind city life to slow down and build something of our own in the hills of Tuscany, right on the border with Umbria. Along the way, we’ll share every step of our journey: house hunting, renovating, learning slow living, and eventually opening our boutique guest retreat, Casallegra ✨
We don’t have it all figured out (far from it!), but that’s part of the adventure. If you’ve ever dreamed of starting over in Italy, escaping to the countryside, or discovering what life is really like behind those sun-washed walls, subscribe and join us — passo per passo, step by step. 💛

Casallegra in Tuscany
Soon we’ll spend our first two weeks at Casallegra — our little happy home in a quiet Tuscan village.
But before we go… we have to pack.
And it turns out there are a few things two Brits (one half Brit admittedly!) simply cannot leave the UK without!

Casallegra in Tuscany
We’ll soon head back to Tuscany to complete the purchase of our house 🏡
We’ll be filming a lot while we’re there.
When we return, what would you most like to see first?

Casallegra in Tuscany
Planning a renovation from 1,000 miles away… before we even have the keys. Are we dreaming too big?
New episode — out tomorrow.

Casallegra in Tuscany
We thought an Italian farmhouse ruin was the dream.
Standing in this exact spot made us question that assumption.
Episode 7 — coming soon...

Casallegra in Tuscany
Today we’re sharing a final walk through our London home — the space that quietly shaped our style, routines, and sense of home before our move to Italy.
This isn’t a traditional house tour. It’s a gentle goodbye to the place we’re leaving behind, as we prepare for what comes next.
