COOKING IN A VILLA IN TUSCANY with a historic Florentine family

[@celinaderose]

Thank you Kylie and Guido for sharing your visit with Vittoria Gondi and Lapo. Such wonderful episode- wonderful friends, delicious food, breathtaking scenery! Vittoria is so elegant and the family history seems amazing. Really enjoyed this visit. Stay well ❤

[@jeffsaunders2791]

What wonderful people,culture and hospitality. Thank you for sharing such A beautiful meal with All of us. I feel like I was watching from the table the whole time. God Bless all Mankind

[@ehpeachylove]

What a fabulous place to visit and the beautiful surrounding area stunning. Love the family and the hospitality and love brought tears to my eyes. Delicious meal and fellowship. I agree that life needs to be slower, the old ways were so special that have been lost. The matriarch of the family was correct in stating that young ladies of today do not cook and it’s really sad. The history of this family was wonderful to hear and I appreciate each one of you for sharing it with us. I have to admit that I teared up more than once during this video. I appreciate everything you share with us. thank you for sharing your visit with this lovely family. ❤❤❤

[@maryannknox7158]

My favorite part is the running fresh sping in the antique sink simply Lovely...Water 💦 is Life

[@ciaram4907]

What an amazing man Lapo is, and how special this friendship is. He truly is one of a kind, I hope he has someone special that appreciates his talents and beautiful soul 🙏🏽 What a lovely episode, thank you Kylie

[@KylieFlavell]

Such a lovely thing to write about him. 😊

[@leighalmond4128]

I looked for the link to source his olive oil but I couldn't find it.

[@jocelyneboutot5722]

Thank you Kylie, for bringing us here for a 2nd visit

[@jocelyneboutot5722]

What a beautiful afternoon!

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3167]

What a lovely episode thank you for bringing us along Kylie and Guido so much enjoyed your visit with Lapo and Vittoria Gondi. Fascinating lady so much enjoyed listening about her family history.

Delightful in every way! Thank you for sharing it with us, Kylie!

[@claudettepanico8550]

Thank you both for sharing these charming moment in this wonderful kitchen, accented with eye catching food being prepared and the enchanting food being served, and that colorfully graced the table. I enjoyed the comfort of conversation about the history of the Italian food and of course the laughter. It was such a pleasure, thank you Kylie.

[@skimbok896]

A moment to escape, how wonderful to spend time in this beautiful kitchen, listening to stories of the past. Thank you for a lovely film and for Guido's family friends for sharing this time. 😊😊

[@AnnaSulfaro-p6k]

One of your best Kylie, beautifully done I enjoyed it so much

[@cherylsmith2345]

Kylie, good day from Canada 🇨🇦. I just wanted to say you are one of our Favourites. We love Gianfranco and the snapshot into your life. Season’s Greetings to you ALL ♥️

[@KylieFlavell]

You’re so sweet. Thank you!!

[@glleon80517]

So lovely! Thank you for the subtitles, they are so helpful in learning Italian. So happy to see the old ways continue! May they do so forever. Grazie mille Kylie!

[@sabrinadangelo57]

Kylie this episode was just so beautifully filmed music so nostalgic Your interview skills are just wow I have lost both my parents and watching this amazing mother and son cooking whole some and traditional food just heart warming thank god through you and your family we can see in practice what life is about family food wine and passing on tradition Just thank you Sabrina from Melbourne Australia

[@KylieFlavell]

I’m so sorry you’ve lost your parents. Thank you for your beautiful words. ♥️♥️♥️

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Another beautifully filmed vlog. It’s one of life greatest gift to have lifelong friendships. Enjoy ❤❤❤❤❤

[@phyllisannbonviso6641]

The cauliflower (just came in from raking leaves for four hours and wanted to some!), little Gianfranco rubbing his fingers together and listening with such intensity, and what happened with that copper pot on the wall, the fire made it shine and grab one's attention, then it was missing off the wall, then it was back, kind of looked like the mirror in Cinderella - ok, back to reality. Your photography was superb, yet again. Your mother-in-law (just by the way you treat this woman) is a lucky woman that Guido married you. I watched this twice (thus noticing the glowing pot on the wall the second time around) was doing dishes, and I watched the commercials all the way through because I think you get credit for us watching all of it - if that is not true let me know and I will skip over them faster than a New York minute! Love your channel, always have, most likely always will. Blessings to you and your family, and God's angels watching over your health, easy, painless, healthy birth - I am keep you in my prayers until he and you come out healthy and happy....

[@KylieFlavell]

What a kind person you are!!

[@acrossthepond4792]

What a beautiful day you had. Thank you so much for taking us along. What a delight it was, every sentence, every item chopped and added, I hung on every word, every detail. You lift my spirits. Grazie mille.

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@mcfederli]

Such a beautiful episode ❤, authentic and unadulterated, as if you were invited to stay with this lovely family yourself. It is so valuable that the traditional recipes are passed on. Science shows that the original Mediterranean diet - predominantly plant-based, lots of vegetables, plenty of pulses, lots of olive oil, seasonal and as fresh and unprocessed as possible - is one of the healthiest diets and the best way to prevent lifestyle diseases. The points about slowing down and simplicity are also so important. Time for family and true human connection. You have found the recipe for a long and happy life - thank you for letting us be part of it!

Not everyone dresses so distastefully. There are still those of us who clutch our pearls at such displays of poor taste. 🙄 only half of the USA have lowered their standards to embarrassing levels.
