DO WE MISS LIVING BY THE SEA? Discovering beaches and pools in Tuscany

[@sonnykat462]

My mom used to hate weekends because her soaps weren't on. I LOVE Sundays because that's when your vlogs appear.

[@madolynway6612]

And so promptly!

My wife and I watch your videos every Sunday. We both just turned 60 and are retired now. If you’re ever interested in swapping houses, cars and pets with an American Family let me know. We’d love to spend a month in Tuscany. We have a beautiful home with a pool, two cars and one well loved doggy. We’d take great care of your babies and home. Retired Army here and I’ve lived in Brindisi (3 years as a child) and Vicenza (3 years as a Soldier). We often took our children to Livorno for camping and the beach. Thanks for sharing your world with us.

How incredible are the provision of a beach for the blind and a beach for the family of fire station staff.

Absolutely incredible ❤❤

They still pay to be a member of those clubs, right?

That minute when you showed the rain over your property and the neighbors property with the sound of the rain was blissfully. There’s nothing like the sound of rain in nature and such a beautiful view! 💕💕

OMG that's so adorable!!! 🥰

Wow! What a coincidence! My Australian Labradoodle does exactly the same!!! Being a mini version, she puts her paws up on the TV credenza and barks when she sees Holly and Indie. 😂

[@lynnstrosnider8410]

Our Australian Labradoodle Beignet also responds to specific voices and runs in to watch her favorite people/pets on television. Maybe a crazy breed characteristic???

Love the furniture rearrangement in the bedroom! Also Holly sitting in the bushes is the most darling thing ever!

[@paulinehouston3556]

The Marble stone beach at Marina di Pisa, is a beach which was imported. I used to live there in the 70's and there wasn't any sand then. It was a very quiet village back then but now there's a new Marina which has opened, boats come from all over. I literally was the only foreigner in the village,! At that time I was married (age 19) but after 6 years, I moved back home to the UK and don't regret it. I can fly back for holidays, anytime. Love your channel.

[@judyfudge2458]

If your videos were an hour long it still wouldn't be long enough. Love you guys !

Holly hiding in the bush, she looks like Atreyu from Never Ending Story💜💜💜

Haha, I think you mean Falkor, the flying luck dog that Atreyu (the warrior boy) befriends and rides....and yes Holly does look like him there in the bushes. 😊

[@normabarnes4930]

What lovely friends you have in Tuscany, and that beautiful beach was perfect! How I wish our country would look after it's people like Italy does, to have somewhere for blind people to go on holiday is amazing😊❤

[@user-tm2vc6fj8q]

Hi Nicki, Carlo and friends. Was just wondering Nicki if your father would be able to fly to Tuscany and stay with you there as he wouldnt have the Positana steps to deal with...the weather looks stunning would probably be good for his health...you could make jam together 😂❤❤❤

[@KBe2]

That last rainy view would be nice on repeat... like the Positano rainy door clip we all love 😂❤

In the US we call it a vice!

[@Mamakate2382]

Last week I chuckled at Carlo in the background, riding by on his mower, waving at the camera. This week he passed behind Nicki with a giant umbrella, gave a wave to the camera and made me chuckle again. Carlo is always up to something. 😂

[@toxaki]

I live in Sydney so your videos come on Monday morning, hence my week always begins with a coffee with Nicki & Carlo. I am loving the serenity I feel in your house in Tuscany and am enjoying all your DIY in the garden and in the home. As always thank you for sharing and inspiring us all.

[@Shelley-s3y]

I’m on the Sunshine Coast in Qld and I also look forward to Mondays when your vlog comes out over here. Such beautiful vlogs - thanks ❤

[@Loupdelou-ly1ve]

I saw this quote online once and I totally related to it and never forgot it - "No one is more determined that a woman rearranging furniture by herself" 🖤

[@barbarawillis5187]

Thank you for the wonderful episodes. I am still amazed at the absolutely gorgeous views from your terrace of the countryside surrounding your home. Your bedroom set up is charming and the wonderful glass double door to the outside is perfect for the room.💕

[@elizabethheatley22]

Always hate when your videos end Nicki! I know that such a lot of work goes into making them, but wish they were longer.

[@1Waarheid]

When I was a child we drove from the Netherlands every summer vacation (6 weeks) to the Toscana coast, a little south from Livorno. It was in the sixties and the seventies. There were only Italian tourists and some German families. Much is changed now. I loved the time back then. Besides the days we were visiting beautiful old places like Volterra, I was with my Italian friends and swimming in the sea with my brother. He sometimes went with Il Capitano, an older fisherman with bright blue eyes, out on sea fishing. Beautiful, beautiful memories.

[@1Waarheid]

Vada has white sand. We were a little more south. The sand has much iron it it, so the colour is gray. And lots of pebbles. I collected the most beautiful ones and still have them.

[@carolking6355]

I could watch and listen for hours. Look forward to Mondays I miss my husband of 60 years soo much . I know he would love to be watching this with me too. Such a sweet young couple with their dogs. So full of enthusiasm. Thanks to you both ❤😊

[@Noneofyourbusiness_221]

I love the new position of the bed. Go back where you got the two nightstands and get the matching chest of drawers and put it right across from the window against the wall. It will be amazing flow of energy and very practical. If you do not find the same you can get another one and paint the three pieces to match.

[@sharonjackson1445]

I love looking at Both of your homes. They are Equally lovely. I love the peaceful Tuscany. But Positono is special from the Beginning.😊😊

Ciao Carlo, ciao Nicki! Un saluto da Melbourne in Australia da un piemontese e una siciliana. Vi seguiamo avidamente da tanti anni e ci ricordate delle bellezze d'Italia. Ci siamo da poco spostati in una casa nuova e mi trovo sovente spiazzato su come fare i lavori in casa. Magari Carlo dovresti fare una serie dove ci insegni a come non fare buchi a caso nei muri e a come arrangiarci con il fai-da-te. Inoltre abbiamo ebtrambi il pollice nero e magari potresti insegnarci anche a come non uccidere ogni cosa che sia verde. Abbracci! Alex e Carmelina

[@NickiPositano]

Ciao Alex & Carmelina, Carlo qui, intanto grazie mille per essere fedeli spettatori dei nostri video, vi facciamo gli auguri per la nuova casa!💕😘👋

[@yotag.8274]

I absolutely ADORE watching your videos. You are completely strangers to me but I feel joy watching you buying a house, purchasing beautiful furniture, wandering around places and living such a good life! I started watching your channel back on 2021 when I born my first child and was stuck at home due to pandemic and a breastfeeding baby and since then I continue to enjoy your content so much! You are good people and respectful to each other and that's what I like the most! Thank you. Greetings from Greece. @nickipositano

[@katiew3685]

Your home in Tuscany is lovely. My grandmother came from Benevento to Boston and settled here. My grandfather had a wonderful garden, plum, pear, peach and fig trees and a heated greenhouse with fresh herbs all year round. Your home and surroundings remind me when I was young. Proud to be Italian.

[@BrunieStudios]

Nicki, your video truly embodies the Italian Way….great food, great friends, beautiful beach, cabanas and blue skies…btw….I love, love your outfit….you are living a dream!❤❤❤

Happy Birthday Lorenzo! What a beautiful quiet beach! It is wonderful to see the beach for blind ppl...there should be more of them all over the world. Very nice place your friends have.❤ Carlo did a great job building the bench area! Love the sound of rain! Especially a good down pour. Love all the climbing vines on your house❤❤ See u next wk!

Bet you needed that rain for the garden! I love the sound of rain it must be wonderful just sitting on the veranda watching the storm. Have a good week and looking forward to seeing the work on the pool area.

[@lindadavis3728]

Your bed fits perfectly against the wall. Glad you didn't hurt yourself. To sit on the foot of the bed and look out the window is a plus. Beautiful......beach. Wow! You both are so active and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@FireCracker3240]

Happy Sunday, Nicki & Carlo! Wow, what a beautiful beach! I love how flat and expansive it is. The sand area is huge. And I love the cabanas! It reminds me a bit of being in the Caribbean, or even areas like San Diego or Cape May here in the US. Very beautiful and relaxing. I hope you have a wonderful week!

No wonder there are so many paintings of Tuscany, it makes me want to go there just to paint the interesting countryside. Your house is just so lovely. Thanks for the video.

[@denisefazio6708]

It's beautiful even in the rain!

[@LeeThrough]

The difference is that this seems like beaches for people who live there as well as visitors and what I also really like is that there aren't loads of boats right by the beach which is now a summer fixture in Positano which it wasn't the case years ago - I wouldn't swim right at the beaches right now in Positano. This looks amazing - more like real life which is super appealing. Thanks for sharing!

[@Hollowtrees1]

Your gardens are so lovely. I could watch just an hour of the rain storm and the sounds of it. So soothing!

[@EmilyBoltz]

Doesn’t matter to me where you are - both places are stunning!!! Great place for a swimming pool! That is going to be going to look fantastic !

Loved that beach. Better than Positano sad to say. It's quieter, nice sand and those little cabanas, wow. I'm really loving the Tuscan vibe. It's more relaxed. Once your pool goes in you'll never want to leave. That hole is ideal for a pool with a big deck around it. I'm excited to watch that project.

[@amandahugo1421]

That beach club looks fabulous. I need to be in shade all the time. Fascinating how Italies coastline changes. I love that youve planted herbs. They perk up the most mundane meals. Have a great time gardening after the lovely rain.

Nicky I am an Australian health professional. I have fair skin and have been treated for skin cancer despite my being careful since childhood . I am in Italy at the moment for two months, 7:41 where I hear that Italian women have increasing skin cancer rates especially melanoma. Sadly that mist will be pretty ineffective. You will need to apply a thick layer of cream preferably a preparation with both a chemical and a physical barrier ie zinc in it.
