A Country House in ItalyOne of my dreams has always been to restore a country house in Italy, particularly in the Le Marche or Piedmont countryside. I have not been able to afford to do this and my wife Maria thinks I'm crazy anyway. Unfortunately it remains but a passion and a dream. Some lucky people do live the dream though and it is for this reason that I have decided to feature the houses of those who manage to carry out this labour of love and who manage to do it well. In most cases the owner has done exactly what I would have done the only thing though is that they have done it a lot better than I ever could have. Relais Villa Giulia
A truly exceptional country house. Italy has many magnificent villas which have been converted into hotels or guest houses but few are as special as the Relais Villa Giulia, once home to Napoleon's stepson. Discover more for yourself at the Relais Villa Guilia's website or read my article here. The Old Schoolhouse
The Old Schoolhouse was once the local farm school. It was left to decay for decades until someone finally saw the potential. It has now been faithfully restored and converted into a beautiful country home that can accommodate a single couple or even up to four couples in great style and privacy and in a gorgeous setting.
