Our journey

How it happened

  1. 2019

    One bicycle short

    Rotterdam, rain, a burst tyre. Matteo offered to push. It was four kilometres.

  2. 2021

    The first Sicilian summer

    Forty degrees, no shade, and Lina's first conversation with a grandmother who speaks no German at all.

  3. 2024

    A house with blue shutters

    Bought on a night when both of us were too tired to be sensible. We regret nothing.

  4. 2026

    On the roof

    Among the tomatoes, without a ring, with a glass of wine. The neighbours applauded before we could say anything.

Frequently asked questions

May I bring someone?

If your card names a guest: gladly, please enter them above. Otherwise the bay gets too crowded.

Children?

Absolutely. There is sea, sand and a great-aunt who has wanted nothing more than to watch them for forty years.

How hot does it get?

Around thirty degrees at midday, twenty-two in the evening. Water everywhere, shade only under the pergola.

Do I need Italian?

No. But "grazie" and "un altro bicchiere" will get you further than you think.

I cannot make it.

Let us know early and all is well. We will bring you lemons.
