Casallegra in Tuscany

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

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.

Two Tuscan village homes.
Neither was “the one”… but both changed how we think about our 🇮🇹 dream

We’re 'this close' to finishing Episode 3 — just a few last tweaks and it’ll be ready to share. We can’t wait for you to see it!
Dan’s having a small hospital procedure tomorrow, so health comes first — but as soon as he’s back on his feet, we’ll hit publish.
Thank you all for the patience and the kindness, it means the world to us ✨
