The building contracts

To get to the stage where we are ready to start building work has taken 18 months so far. The designng planning and administration takes a long time in Italy and after a while it begins to wear you down. You have to persevere and have a lot of patience and think of things how they will be in the end. The eventual aim is to have a home where we can provide to our guests something special. They will have a beautiful room with great facilities. They will have on their doorstep beautiful surroundings and lots to see and do and I hope they will enjoy the food and company and leave wanting to come back.

We hope to be able to be as ‘green’ and energy efficent as we can. We will recycle water and refuse. We will be installing photovoltaic panels and solar panels. We will be using rain water collection in the house and garden. We will be using organic produce where possible. All this and hopefully much more
In the next couple of weeks we should be signing the building contracts and then our adventure will be begin in earnest.
