I wouldn't worry about what they think. The place is all yours now.

Don’t give them a second thought. It was a good deal & you’ve made it yours. Enjoy 🌞

Agreed 👍 ❤❤❤

[@nancycolbert2703]

The previous owner left much garbage for you and Carlo to deal with. Their inconsiderate behaviour added to the stress of this real estate deal. You do not owe them anything!

[@sonnykat462]

@@nancycolbert2703 Indeed, how very inconsiderate.

[@michelleedwards202]

Throw their crap out your home is not free storage.

right! They have been so nice and patient with these people and I feel are now being used. Time to stop and be free of them.

I’ll take the jugs and vases!! Probably I’d love everything just the fact it’s from Italy!❤😊

[@lolitatumina4661]

I agree ,you're not renting ...you bought the house .....The cheek of them !

[@M-LFC491]

I love the fact that Carlo talks to us in Italian and Nicki in English, and sometimes vice versa. It's great to have the subtitles too, if viewers are interested in learning Italian. Free language lessons!

[@ljjackson7106]

Agree! Carlo is Nicki’s secret weapon!!!!

[@karen6778]

Ditto

[@cassiebanks]

I love it as well because I was born and raised in the USA. While there are many diverse areas in our country, I've always had to live in suburbia where I could afford income-based rent. Not a lot of diversity in the apartment buildings I've rented in. Having been born in the era of the first televisions, real life in other countries wasn't really exposed to us. Now we have KZbinrs all over the world who can show us how different cultures do all types of different things. For example, it seems like such a strange concept to have windows on a house without screens to keep the bugs out or going to a store that sells only one thing like cheese or meats. I don't even know where the closest butcher shop is in our area. It's possible we don't even have one. At any rate, I love that Nicki is willing to translate Carlo's language. It makes the video so much more luxurious to me.

[@raffaellavitiello1762]

I love hearing Carlo talking. It is music to my ear.

The ex owners sold the house. Their opinion is mute. I’m loving your home soooooo much! 🥰🥰🥰

[@loloholmes2793]

Moot. Their opinion is moot, not mute. I agree, I love their home in Tuscany, all the room they have to spread out is absolutely amazing. Considering the former owners took their sweet time moving out. And the nerve of them taking sinks!

Carlo, thank you for speaking Italian in these videos as it inspires us to learn the language.

Daves reflection on your friendship was so lovey, how beautiful and special to have this friendship. Really enjoyed his presence with you guys ❤️

[@ginadepompei7324]

And it certainly doesn’t hurt that he’s so handsome!😊

[@AriaLuminosa]

There was also a powerful healer in my city, he was always booked and was so reliable that even doctors sent patients to him, because he was very skilled with bones and muscles. He was also a serious person, when people had particular symptoms or signs he sent them to the doctors and to the hospital. When he died a few years ago the local newspapers talked about him for days and there were so many people at his funeral, even politicians and famous people. He also did not charge for his work and accepted gifts of any kind: chickens, rabbits, eggs, fruit, vegetables, salami, wine, oil, etc.

[@judybelight8041]

[@laMeraFab65]

I feel the previous owners TOTALLY took advantage of your kindness! They seem petty and disrespectful. You gave them plenty of time to remove their junk! Then they leave their turtle, are you kidding? In the US it would be considered abandoned, and tossed in the garbage.

Not the turtle!

[@mariagillinson8527]

Nice to see you again Dave!

All of us have been brainwashed into thinking that witchcraft can be good or bad. It comes from demon spirits and can cloak itself as angels of light. I unknowingly was married to a high level Freemason and wizard. Many years later I found out that he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Just remember there is a beautiful side to evil and that is what sucks so many people into its clutches.

[@shameronschofield868]

I love going on your walks and seeing the beautiful countryside! I also love your pups especially Holly 🥰 I just love watching her trot along enjoying herself lol

I grew up with a family dog that looked just like your Holly. Everytime I see Holly I'm reminded of my sweet girl. ❤ I love watching the changes your making with the house and the scenic walks with the dogs.

[@CBEEBLE]

Carlo, you are a true diplomat!!

[@shariberry3123]

Hello from Tyler, Texas! I rented a car, back in the 1990's, drove all over Europe and Italy. Italy is just stunningly beautiful. Here, in Tyler, I live right down the street from the largest outdoor municipal rose garden in the U.S. I love the ancient old buildings and surroundings there in Italy. Here, Texas has only been a a state since the 1840's. Our downtown square was built in the 1850's, and largely brick built by the 1870's. I mention this because recently, an entire block of old original buildings was just demolished, in order to build a new courthouse. Even though our history is so much less than somewhere like Italy, it is still history. It had a charm and a character that is now gone forever. They would not even allow for any simple excavation to take place after they cleared all the buildings. All that potential archeology now lost for another lifetime. The clay used to for the bricks came from a local source of red clay. I wish the U.S. would respect their historic landmarks as well as they do in Europe. When it is gone, it's gone.

[@monica-NJ-123]

My mother always spoke to me in German and I always spoke to her in English , it reminded me when I heard you and Carlo talking ❤❤❤

[@larrymastro9635]

When the Ex owners took the kitchen sink and bench top and the bathroom sink we thought wow is that normal in Italy ?

[@majorfrost8206]

I love going on walks with you and Carlo. It's always interesting to hear you chat and to see the scenery, whether in Tuscany or Positano. A great idea to get in a lemon tree or two.

[@alessandrom7181]

I'm a Tuscan and i have always thought that Tuscany was very similar to Britain for many aspects. Many Brits can also pass as Tuscans phenotypically.

[@fatimaa57946]

Your friend Dave is so charming! It's so nice to have an old friendship and be able to have good memories! Lovely video 🥰👏👏

[@raymondbarry4196]

There is nothing like old friends who know you so well. I have four treasured friends that I have known for about 35 years and I feel like they ground me because they have been witness to all of the changes throughout my life. I love this format as it feels calm and more personal.

I wonder if Dave is single and likes women ? ;)

[@rhonalow3271]

The best time to plant fruit tress is five years ago! You strike me as both being enthusiastic cooks so start now and you will be perennially rewarded in the years to come. The care they need can be easily managed in your part time visits…pruning once or twice yearly, maybe spraying, weeding, harvest and enjoy. A huge step towards semi self sufficiency and you can share with neighbours. Preserving and jam making is lots of fun. Maybe look into orange, cumquat ( decorative, marmalades) limes, peach, nectarine, sultana/muscat grapes( for table and drying/ cheeseboards), figs, apples, asparagus and afterwards try some exotics!! .🇦🇺❤️💕❤️

[@kdean9537]

You like what you’ve done ~ it ends there doesn’t it? Your decorating is uniquely you. Not many of us would even think of converting the entrance room of the house to a kitchen/lounge/office/pantry but you have. Enjoy your dog walks ~ off to do more interesting things! ❤

You have improved the property ten fold! They took all the lights and the kitchen. It was a shell. You have done so much and made it so cosy and homely.

You might enjoy "Murder in an Italian Village" by Michael Falco. It was on the new book shelf at my public library recently and I was delighted to find that it takes place in Positano.

[@samanthab1923]

Sounds good 🍋

[@lucindakubitz8193]

I'm reading this right now. And I actually started reading it because of the Positano setting & knowing from Nicki's videos how beautiful the area is.

[@marielucier7982]

Thank you Nikki and Carlo for the walk and talk. Walking and chatting is my favorite way to spend time with friends. Your friend from England is so polite and charming. Forgive me, but his eyes are beautiful and expressive. Doesn’t matter what the previous owners think. I sometimes think their new place is messy and disorganized. You’ve both made a lot of improvements to your second home.

[@barbiec4312]

Yes, those eyes are great.

[@elizabethharrell8707]

I love the walks, it is so hot here in AZ that it just isn't possible for me until winter and the scenery is just fabulous, I appreciate that you film it. who cares what the previous owners think, I don't. Love all the things you are doing to the place so far, its beautiful

[@pomme800]

A garden would be possible in the future with irrigation… very popular in dry , high heat areas … lots of garden channels explain it’s installation. But I’m sure that Carlo wants to be available to help his brother in the Positano garden if and when his elder brother decides to garden again …. :)) Maybe name the Positano garden in honor of their Dad ….with a plaque or name post maybe.. it would help the mourning process for them I think ❤️

[@janinafisher101]

I really love the walks and talks idea! And I love that abandoned house - what a gorgeous colour. I really do have to come and visit Italy. And I love that Carlo speaks to us in both English and Italiano! Grazie!

[@lorigrayson6414]

I have been watching your other channel for a few years. I love when you all talk Italian. I am first generation American. My mother was born in Pontecorvo and my father in Vairano Pantenora. My parents are both alive, but don't really speak Italian to me. (My grandparents only spoke Italian) so it is comforting to hear Carlo speak to you and vice versa. I have never been to Italy but it is on my list for 2025.

[@lynlyn3931]

Hhhmmm...it wouldn’t be matter what the previous owner think. You guys owned the property now and you guys make change according what you guys feel comfortable and make feel home. I’ve been watching you both renovating the house and you guys did a fantastic job. It’s beautiful and very homey ❤👍 🏡

My uncle was an electrician in Puerto Rico. He used to do side jobs for friends and family and the elderly and some used to pay him with , chickens, avocado , ice cream , breadfruit etc. he used to take especially from the elderly because he knew it’s all they had. We called him the towns doctor ( because that is how they paid doctors in the olden days) . He was truly the best.

I remember you put the prior owners' stuff somewhere, but now I cannot remember where it was. Sure was a lot of stuff they left, even though they took soooo much more than they could have in the US. If it is there and attached to the wall when you look at the place, it must be left with the house...interesting difference. I do appreciate this channel as well. Much love to you both.
