CVV lets you know

So you’ve heard of House Hunters…well I have lived the real thing “House Hunters Italy...my version”. For the past 20 years I have been in Italy more than 50 times, following leads, driving up dirt roads in Tuscany, winding roads in the Val d’Orcia, country lanes in Puglia, mountain ridges in the hills of Umbria, and more….finding the perfect villa to match your dreams…and create memories.

 

Exploring the Richness of Italian Wines

Italy’s wines are as diverse and captivating as the country itself, offering a journey through its regions, each with its own unique varietals and traditions. From the bold Barolos of Piedmont to the elegant Brunellos of Tuscany, Italian wines have long been celebrated for their depth and character.

At the Vancouver International Wine Festival, Italian wines took center stage, showcasing their rich heritage and the passion of their winemakers. Highlights included tastings of iconic reds, crisp whites, and sparkling Proseccos that epitomize the vibrancy of Italian viticulture.

Love Italy? Love wine tasting? Consider spending some time in the wine area of Piedmont - tasting Barolo and Barbaresco amidst the vineyards and medieval villages and castles.  Whether you are a wine newbie or a sommelier we work with some wonderful local wineries and experts, creating some memorable experiences for you.  Picnic in the vineyards? flights of wine? organic wineries? just ask.

Positano, a delightful jewel on the Amalfi coast, the lodestone for Instagrammers, the playground of the rich and Famous, the destination for many because of its picturesque, colourful bay, the mosaic covered church tower, the azure seas. You can see it all on many IG feeds, you can #Positano and  dream.  I work with wonderful hotels, villas and apartments there too.
 However here are a few things what no one tells you about Positano:

The Timeless Magic of Rome’s Colosseum

There’s something special about iconic sites—they evoke powerful feelings even before you see them. Mention the Colosseum, and you’re already transported to the heart of Rome, imagining its grandeur and the history it holds.

Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, standing before this 2,000-year-old marvel never fails to inspire wonder. From its ability to seat over 50,000 spectators to its ingenious design that hosted everything from gladiatorial combats to mock naval battles, the Colosseum stands as a testament to ancient Roman innovation and culture.

For me, it’s not just about its history but the feeling it stirs each time I see it. Whether approaching on foot through the ancient Forum, catching a glimpse from a taxi as you pass Piazza Venezia, or admiring the starlings overhead at sunset from the Vittorio Emanuele II monument, the Colosseum reveals something new every time.

Rome is never “been there, done that.” The eternal city offers fresh perspectives with each visit, and the Colosseum is at the heart of that timeless experience.
