POSITANO: THE QUARANTINE DIARIES - EP 11 Going out for the first time after 2 months of Lockdown

[@leeanngorne8517]

Please don’t disparage your content, your everyday life is just as lovely as it can be, and we’re so happy out here that you’ve chosen to share it. It doesn’t need to be anything other than it is, food, beautiful days and a lovely family. It makes people happy! Another channel I really enjoy Kylie Flavell. All the best, Lizzie

[@lesliecarnes8775]

I totally agree!

[@rebeccazahn5299]

Agree and Nicki and Kylie. I can’t go without Nicky. Both different and lovely.

[@lindagonzales5848]

Have been following your wonderful blog for a couple of months after happily coming across it. You and your family are just delightful...warm, funny and such a great escape from daily insanity in America. I don't watch the videos in any order but always so enjoyable. Sending love, a huge thank you and best wishes from New Mexico, USA.

[@johnkeenan4184]

Your vlogs are not flat and boring, they are chilled and beautiful, & the perfect antidote to the urban rat race most of us are operating in!! Delighted Italy is emerging from Lockdown.

[@absurdgal]

How you feel about the chateau vlog is how I feel about your vlog! It’s perfect just the way it is! Especially enjoying your quarantine diaries of your life at home.

[@judithbowman4258]

My favorite vlogs are yours. We have become addicted to each and everyone of the episodes. Love your family, love Holly and your chickens, love your cooking scenes. The only thing that makes me nervous is you and Carlo speeding on your Vespa! Grazie, grazie grazie ❤️🇮🇹😷

[@michellemaria1360]

Your vlog is the best and my favorite ❤️ I also have watched Kylie and her videos are beautiful and informative, but I love yours the most. I feel like I'm watching family when Im watching your videos. I think I've watched them all about 3 times each! I go to others and come right back! Thank you and Carlo for sharing your beautiful family and friends with us! Grazie mille!!! 🥰

[@trudiethomas656]

I never, get tired of the plants, the flowers, the trees, the gardens. Just watching makes me want to try, again in my area. Thank you!

[@Petroseni]

I absolutely love your vlog!!! You and your family have brought me great joy!!

[@angelakilroe8784]

Nicki I think you must have been a mountain goat in your previous life. My heart is in my mouth every time you go for a walk!

[@ciaobella8963]

I enjoy your vlog exactly how it is. And I live in Italy! Haha. Always stay true to yourself is a good rule for life. I was born in London UK and when a child, my parents moved to Canada after WWII. When I was 19 I moved to the US and stayed there for almost 45 years. It was a good country to work in during those years, and to raise my son. I am retired now and live in Lunigiana in northern Tuscany since 2011 when I bought and renovated my ancient stone house in a small borgo. I am still learning how to speak Italian, and how to cook some of my favorite Italian recipes. I'm 72 and live alone, but like it this way. My only son and his family live in Los Angeles. Typically I'm there now for a month or so. Oh well. I also go for Christmas. Not sure how travelling internationally will pan out in the immediate future. We will just have to wait and see. So that's me! A 72 year old adventurer, and still ticking! Buona Festa della Mama Nicki!

[@NickiPositano]

Thank you Janice! Auguri anche a te xx

[@appenninoview6307]

Janice Patricia..as they would say in Italian..lei è in gamba!!..Best wishes to you from Appennino Tosco Emiliano 🙋‍♀️

[@supriyabarsode8039]

Wow

[@samanthab1923]

Hope you still have your house in Tuscany. Now that they bought a place you could meet up ☀️

[@cbeark]

Your videos are not flat nor boring, theyre real to life. The life of the day to day in Italy, its not always some flashy show like other channels and thats perfectly ok. I like things that are more real day in and day out than the staged stuff anyday. Favorite youtube channel, Kylie Flavell

[@markelliott6112]

Nicki - respectfully, I have to disagree with you on something, your videos are NOT boring and uninteresting, you have a wonderful style and we just LOVE watching your content on the other side of the world. Here in New Zealand, we are gagging to get back to Italy, and your wonderful videos walking around positano are just I N C R E D I B L E. So - Keep them up, we all love them.

[@NickiPositano]

Thank you!

[@gerald8811]

Ciao, Nicki. Your videos are great and I love your ramblings 😊 Don't change anything. Everyone has their own style. Just be yourself. Your videos make me nostalgic for Italy. I sold my tiny little house in Puglia last August. It was the best thing as maintaining a property at a distance of 8000 miles not recommended. I watch Kylie and Stephanie as well. That panino looked so good.

[@NickiPositano]

Thank you! Will do!

[@annemg4423]

Well said! I’m so afraid you’ll change and be like the rest. Your style is unique, enviable, amazing, and your lifestyle as well! 😀👍

[@roseinsunnyfla]

I love watching your videos of your life in Positano! Of all the places I’ve been Positano is my favorite and I long for the day I can go back! Thank you so much for sharing your interesting, every day life!

[@1977Timp]

Sailing La Vagabonde is one of my favourite channels too.. "Don't put down yourself".. or in Italian: non buttarti giù: your channel is very good and you don't travel so much as they do.. so found good topics is even more challenging. I found your channel pretty recently like 2 weeks ago.. and I saw already almost all your videos: please make more 🙂.. I don't like videos from people just landed in Italy and start complaining or making comparisons too much.. some of those are based only on that. You are been in Italy for a long time: you have the knowledge and experience to talk about Italy in a proper way. It's also good to talk about other parts of Italy not only the very famous ones.. Positano should thank you to put so much efforts to make the world know how beautiful is this small town.

[@Rick-hf5yi]

Your Vlogs are absolutely fantastic and fascinating (They are, in no way, flat or boring.). I have been to Italy (on business) several times. However, my trips always took me to Northern Italy (Milano), so I have never had the opportunity to visit Southern Italy. My fondest wish is to visit the Amalfi Coast. Because I am retired from the U.S. Navy, I have the benefit of being able to fly anywhere in the world, at no cost, aboard U.S. military aircraft. The nearest military base to the Amalfi Coast is in Naples. However, because I would be at the mercy of military flight schedules, the trip would not be without delays and possible changes. I love the way you are so conversational and real. Watching your Vlogs is like a friend (you) giving me a personal tour and insight into your life and the beautiful sights in and around your home. Carlo(s)? is always working in and around your home and property and seems quite content in doing so. He has a wonderfully warm and friendly personality and smile, which makes me want to meet him and be one of his friends. I love the way you make little quips about him, especially when he is not being cooperative with you. Your videos are beautifully shot and beautifully edited, including your choices of bed music. I have viewed several different Vlogs of Positano and the Amalfi Coast, but yours are far and away the most beautifully done, entertaining, and informative! Thank you so very much for sharing your life and the magnificent land in which you live. Hopefully, someday, I will have the privilege and pleasure of meeting you and your family in Positano. Meanwhile, God Bless always and take care.

[@carole-f8x]

Rick Sykes I have watched a lot of vlogs and I find Nicki to be the most authentic. Besides seeing beautiful Positano Nicki is a pleasure to listen to and so real. Hope you get there someday!

[@pamyh.37]

I love Chateau Diaries and Doing it Ourselves, Stephanie's friend Michael Petherick! My other addiction are Van Lifers. People travelling in their tiny homes on wheels. And, finally, I never miss one of your blogs. You live in the most magnificent but high maintenance place. All those steps!!!! However it is so beautiful. Completely different to the chateaus and the van lifers but still completely fascinating and compelling. Happy Sunday, stay well 😀

[@judithcroft7887]

me too! Stephanie's mum is hilarious!

[@NickiPositano]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@grahammanley2086]

Some great vans roaming about isn’t there

[@alomafoggo3239]

Nicki - you are never boring! 💝

[@justineinnoosa5316]

I’m addicted to Van fitout clips too - and tiny homes

[@ShannonMoody]

I watch all those channels!! Kristen and Jorge is one of my favorite channels. German couple that live and love England. They take you through amazing trips around the English countryside!!!

[@marycahill546]

Never again will we see Positano like this, so peaceful, no boats, no tourists. Lovely. Thank you for sharing.

[@angeladundon7271]

I have been binge watching your videos so all my other favs are on the back burner for now😂😂😂, but I find Rachel Aust really relaxing, she is an Aussie lady in Melbourne and she tends to her plants, cooking and animals and is just really relaxing. Another I like is Farmhouse on Boone, she is in the US with six kids and cooks, feeds her animals and does lots of handmade things, I find her voice really lovely and relaxing as well

[@karentozer1871]

Nicki, please don’t say your videos are boring, they are ‘real’ and I love seeing your day to day routines and your lovely Carlo, Skye and Holly and the chicks and not forgetting Luca. I also love the chateau diaries but here are a couple of others I follow- Jay Swanson ( an American who lives in Paris) Emma Lefebvre ( A Canadian artist) Castle ten Berghe ( A Belgian family who live in a beautiful chateau) I have LOTS more but I won’t bore you with them all.... I have to say at the moment, you are my favourite and I try to fit in an Amalie coast catch up whenever I can. Only another 8 months of your videos to go before I am upto date 😂😂

[@sandicarpenter2658]

Your blogs are super to watch and on par with Stephanie's. It was through hers I found YOU! You would all definitely be on my dinner party list. Both beautiful, articulate and NATURAL women xxxxx

[@tootsieb11]

Chateau de Lelande...Stephanie also does live chats with her 'mummy' Isabelle who lives half the year in South Africa and the other half at the Chatea. Sadly she has been separated from her second husband Percy who was stuck in S Africa during lockdown. There are quite a few work a ways also helping out and as her subscribers have increased so have her patrons which means that the long list of jobs at the chateau are starting to be done. She's hoping to get the lake back too as the local water authorities told her totally wrong info and she had to empty the lake. She's also joined forces with her best friend Michael Petherick ,, his channel is Doing it ourselves..In comparison yours are different yes, but by no means boring, your country is beautiful and the views from your garden are magnifico. Never ever compare yourself to any one else. You are unique and are loved for it. Thank you for sharing. I love the skirt by the way... where's it from?

[@puricaro6738]

Guau thats empty...Positano..but is so BEAUTIFUL..that you take us back to all these..streets that we walk is 2019...thank you love you all..

[@madeleinedm859]

I absolutely love your channel. It is the every day life of a normal, ordinary person. People can relate! I also enjoy "Kirsten and joerg" a German couple living in the UK.

[@AmyFMcCready]

I notice someone has already mentioned her but I've been really enjoying Kylie Flavell's content. She's a filmmaker and produces the most stunning videos - true escapism I think. She has lived in Positano, Rome, Florence, all over the world actually, so if you don't know her already you might find it interesting to see someone else's take on your hometown & beyond! Thank you for the consistent content, have loved your channel for quite a while now and your videos never fail to soothe me when I'm stressed out.

[@camifromri2129]

Amy McCready , yes . I second watching Kylie. She’s lovely, speaks Italian anD is multi talented...cooking, filming and now sewing some amazing outfits out of old linens.

[@markelliott6112]

Kylie is Superb. Love her

[@reginapolo3357]

I love Kylie too.

[@alicekasey8516]

I've been following Kylie as well...love both of these ladies' insight into living in Italy...such a welcoming escape and way to make future plans to travel there.

[@sueannhoffart2348]

Many of my KZbin interests seem to be agrarian in nature. 🐐🐑🌿 Weed Em and Reap is a family homesteading with goats and chickens and a pond in urban Arizona. Sandi Brock is a sheep farmer in rural Ontario sharing her lambing and haying successes and failures in a very genuine way. Garden Answer is my go to channel for everything gardening! Laura and family are the real deal! I also watch Hercules Candy in Syracuse New York make sweets as 4th generation candy makers. Their KZbin channel increased sales so much that they were able to move out of the basement and into a retail space!

[@mariamjehn7071]

Two of my favorites!!! Jonna Jinton and Chateau Diaries!!! Now I’ve added yours to my list!!! Amalfi coast is dream like!!

[@58southwinds]

I follow "the Bald Explorer"... Richard Vobes...his walks around Sussex and other parts of the UK when not in lockdown...he also reads to viewers ...and has a daily live show... not all in the same broadcast so you can choose if you want to follow the daily reading ...or just the walks or just the daily live chat show..or it all .. I prefer his walks... Your content is a delight...it's genuine and delightful....do your own thing...tread your own path..or in your case ...walk your own steps.. Keep doing what your doing...don't be influenced...some do over produce their content...

[@belindawalker3120]

Niki, the you tube algorithm led me to your videos. I must say You are the first that I have binge watched, I cant get enough. Thank you for the time and effort you put into all of this, I am enjoying and learning so much!

[@Lesley4634]

Your videos are far from boring. I love how calm and active you all are at the same time. Sadly, I'm back to work, we have restaurants. My peace of home is now a bit disturbed, but happy to be working. I have been watching Chateau Diaries, as well. Love this channel. Diane in Denmark, she is so happy, inspiration for cleaning. I prefer to cook vs clean. She gets me going every morning, fire under my hiney. The Bucket List Family! Wonderful way of viewing the world. Some Good News, All good news in this trying time with lots of Hollywood to make you laugh and cry. I love that you hike up and clean pools in pretty skirts! I'm completely envious of that gorgeous bed in the garden. Much love sent from Atlanta. A view from my window is a page on Facebook, you might like this, to end. Stay safe 💕

[@arimax888]

Nicki you're absolutely perfect. I found your channel late so I've been binging on all your posts everyday since! To be honest I prefer your channel over chateau diaries because you offer more realistic content+ideas and advice for your viewers whereas stephanie's channel is more for escapism and lately has more about her guests/volunteers than the chateau. I also love being part of your everyday life joining your friends, family..etc and that makes us feel like we're part of your family❤thank you for offering so much to us😊

[@denisecarter5117]

No your vlogs are not boring. It’s like having a friend who just happens to live in a beautiful place, has a handsome husband who is cheerful and kind and a sweet daughter, a wonderful dog, sweet cats and noisy chickens. In short a great life. I just watched my first, “The Chateau.” Not to be mean to her but your videos are more relaxed and beautiful and I love watching.

[@NickiPositano]

Hi, I'm Carlo, here, this is a typical comment that we like very much, you don't know how much, so many thanks!

[@bloonaddictx]

How funny, I also watch Sailing la Vagabond and Jonna Jinton! I took your advice and followed Stephanie! I would like to share my favorites: Ellen Fisher, she lives in Hawaii with her husband and children on their own land, they also grow their own food but lead a plant-based lifestyle. Kylie Flavell is the reason I found your channel, she produces beautiful videos about her adventures in Italy. Also, Molly Burke, she is a Canadian young lady that is living in LA now and documents her life as a blind woman. She has a beautiful soul. Also, your vlogs are not boring! They are my favorite of them all. Hope you're doing well. xo

[@thetaniaproject]

I just discovered your channel yesterday and I must say it's refreshing and new (for me!) I love it. I have been really interested in seeing what living in an amalfi coast town is like, and I wish I had found your channel ages ago. I'll be binge watching all of it!

[@debtheguest3109]

I watch The Chateau Diaries, it's really interesting the restoration of a Chateau and Stephanie's travels to difference places.

[@claudialopez6757]

I don't usually watch vlogs. I got hooked on your channel from the first video I watched. I was curious about Positano. I had a look at the channels you suggested. I understand that everyone has an experience to share ... I much prefer yours, though. It's difficult for us to see ourselves clearly sometimes but I enjoy your perspective, your personality, your humor and the breathtaking shots of Positano. I'm going through a difficult period in my life and watching you, Skye and Carlo really makes my days easier to get through. Thank you so much for that!

[@NickiPositano]

Wow! Hello Claudia, I'm Carlo Thank you so much for the compliment!

[@ruthcr8839]

There is absolutely nothing boring about your videos. They are amazing, relaxing and entertaining. 😘 Lots of blessings to you and your family.

[@rachelwyatt9635]

Your vlogs are not boring or flat, they are amazing and so are you. I love you and your family and where you live is just stunning and completely fascinating!! I love your garden, food you cook and just the daily life of staying busy.. even through quarantine. I’m so glad I found you!! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re amazing!! Look at how many subscribers you have now, imagine by next year you’ll have tripled or quadrupled it!! Some that I like to watch are Kara and Nate, Sean and Stef, Cruise with Ben and David, Griff and Alyssa to just name a few. 💕💫🌟

[@janelangdale6022]

I too love your videos, a good mix of all the things I like. A vlog I enjoy is Itchy Boots, a Dutch woman travelling from Patagonia to Alaska. Her journey is on hold just now but there are loads of back videos if you haven't seen them. Thanks for the sunshine and light you give.

[@Zarih67]

If you crush the eggshells and dry them in the oven, make it into a powder, it's excellent fertilizer! Your vlogs are not flat and boring. You show something different and nothing can beat the view you show us every day. Keep being yourself. I enjoy your vlogs very much. And I found you via Chateau Diaries via one of the followers. You and Stephanie show different things, have different lifestyles and you both bring us joy. SV Delos and Sailing yacht Ruby Rose if you enjoy sailing.

[@NickiPositano]

thank you!

[@sk25974]

Your videos are not boring at all, they are real, natural and informative with beautifulshots of your home and Positano😍. I would prefer to watch you popping to neighbours and walking with your partner and Holly, I find it relaxing to see you in your elegant than talking over the top, and being over happy. Real goes a long way Nikki! You helped me with my anxiety too! 💯 🙏 wishing you all well

[@angelakilroe8784]

I watch Stephanie all the time and agree it’s one not to miss BUT Nicki I enjoy yours just as much, so different but equally as enjoyable.

[@NickiPositano]

Thank you!

[@lisawilson2912]

Nicki, don't ever doubt what you do. Your diaries are wonderful and help me keep those everyday connections with life in Italy. I love you both and Carlo is very funny!

[@serendipitylife15]

I been sticking to your channel, Kylie Flavell's, The Chateau Diaries and a few fashion vlogs. I always watch yours first so I don't thing they are boring or flat at all. Glad you are able to go on longer walks and see more family. We have always been able to take walks and hikes but not visit parents or other family. My parents are in assisted living and I miss them terribly. Hopefully soon. Thank you your videos lift my spirits and give me motivation.

[@NickiPositano]

I sent you a lovely reply privately!😂

[@janmarsh5643]

Nicki, I have just so enjoyed your videos and they are not boring! The biggest thing i get from your videos which are about everyday people being happy! That’s priceless and inspiring. Don’t think you need a chateau or “fabulous people”. Your kindness , your love of life, your loving care to your animals and your family including hard working Carlo. He is a treasure and you both work well together including your beautiful Skye. I went on holiday in Amalfi in 1994 and never forgot how happy I was at that time. Your stories bring back that pleasure of that time. Thank you soooo much.

[@NickiPositano]

Thank you! Fabulous friends are always a bonus though!

[@christophemeathrel508]

Hi Nicki & Carlo, Just enjoy seeing the wonderful coastal area you have as a home etc., your list of favourite blogs match my own bar one. The difference is a man thing which means my second choice is “YBS aka Young Bloods” from Australia. 1 and 3 are Stephannie with friends, plus La Vagabond. Recently a new stream of linked sites from Michael and Family/friends have developed the KZbin cash cow for their projects to some degree of success. This does not seem to be your driver, thus making your series so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Best wishes from Chris, Cleguerec, Brittany.

[@melizawoolner4824]

Your vlogs are so much more real, down to earth, and interestingly fun surrounded by natural beauty! the Chateaux Diaries, I think aren't real true to heart, pretentious and self absorbed. I very much enjoy your lovely vlogs, thank you.

[@NickiPositano]

Hi, I'm Carlo, thanks, with all due respect to the people involved, I really like your comment, thanks again.

[@rainbowlovechildyoga]

Thank you 🙏 for sharing your beautiful life, your beautiful family and friends, your beautiful self ❤️ and beautiful Positano and Amalfi Coast. Your down to earth videos are wonderful! You are so beautiful and inspiring, as you are. Please don’t question yourself if you need to be more or less of anything. ❤️ My favorite you tube channels are the same as yours, but your channel is my absolute favorite! You may also like Sailing Vessel Delos, Tim and Fin, and Project Atticus. Thank you 🙏 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@anneduigan4933]

Thanks for the vid! I find them gentle, such a pleasure to watch. Not at all boring. Your walks around your nature spots alone and with your family, and your town are lovely. One doesn't always want the hype'or high energy chatter.

[@NickiPositano]

So nice of you

[@takenup827]

Not boring or flat and in fact, Nicki Positano is my fav. I'm so happy you are posting more as I check every day and look forward to viewing, especially right now during quarantine. My fav is when you record your daily happenings there at your home. BTW thanks for showing how to make the spaghetti cake. Would you also post ingredients for that fennel salad you love.

[@francest-pierre1370]

[@melissaelliott5846]

Nicki - yourself and Stephanie from Chateau Diaries are my two absolute favourite channels! You two are the ONLY channels that I let the ads play in full as I know this contributes to your channels!! Replace “flat and boring” with “peaceful and relaxing”! I love you showing anything around your garden and DIY, cooking and just how day to day life is with living in a hilly town. Carlos is fantastic - you two compliment each other beautifully!! From New Zealand we are counting the days til we can travel again to Italy xxx

[@joyaepace]

I was not looking for vlogs to watch and never thought I would, but your vlog “found” me and I love it! Not sure why...of course, I would love to go back to Positano and Capri, and that is a part of it, but your style of blogging is very sincere, authentic and unpretentious and your videos are just cosy and homely, if one can say so about videos!

[@lizzyrae19]

This is an older one but I just watched it today. Your blogs are anything but boring, you do a wonderful job of filming and talking. I watch you at breakfast, lunch, dinner and after dinner sometimes too! In this Covid time of isolation your family has become my new friends! My adult children love Italy and have been there five times so we compare their travel notes with your lifestyle notes. Be safe...from Florida.

[@Muffy.from-Oz]

Nicki, I watched a little of The Chateau Diaries and enjoyed it a lot. I enjoy your Channel much more. It seems to me that every nook and cranny of your Amalfi coast is fascinating and your family is warm and real. The Chateau smacks a little of faulty towers in comparison. Keep up the good work in keeping it always fresh and relatable. Muffy from Oz

Hi Pamela, I'm Carlo, thank you for your wonderful comment, you really can't imagine how much I personally appreciate it, (I can't explain it here,) So, I wish you the best in life, and Grazie again!

It's amazing to see your beautiful everyday life with Carrrr-lo (no S!), Skye, Holly, the cats and the chickens, as well as all the other characters that make appearances. I LOVE your recipes, I love your music on the vlogs, I love learning about all the gardening and veggies you're planting, and I'm fascinated by the fact that there is nothing Carlo cannot do! Nor you! You're cheery, sweet, thoughtful, hardworking and committed. We love you. Thank you for sharing all of this with us!

[@poppymonster1000]

First! you are my favorite vlog! and have been a lifesaver living through the lockdown!! I love living vicariously ;) although I don't know how you do that climb ;) I am not worthy as I would die trying :)))) I have watched and loved Stephanie DIY Chateau on tv but did not know she had a vlog...so thanks for this discovery! Like you, I live in a foreign country, from Canada to Switzerland...for love...but my story does not have a happy ending...I do not have a husband now... kids, parents...even work and a group of good friends have not been part of my story...I still struggle with French!? bravo for learning Italian so quickly! Your genuine perky honesty... has inspired me to try!! I have realized through lockdown I can't stay this isolated...I have been for years...before the virus...and I have to make a change!! absolutely petrified but have to try!! So...thank you for inspiring me to share and hopefully help others through a vlog :)

@@poppymonster1000 You've taken the words right out of my mouth! Also, it is all well and good enjoying your own company and not need others to make you happy (and that took me a good few years to master) but its when we take it to far in the wrong direction that we make it hard for ourselves!

Nicki I really enjoy your Positano Diaries! It's the first video I watch on Sundays and I always look forward to it. I enjoy travel vlogging, so I highly recommend Kara and Nate - they've been traveling the world for 4 years and have vlogged in 100 countries. Usually quite interesting - their Italy videos in Le Marche were outstanding. I also enjoy Prowalk Tours, but they can be long so I wish he'd do a condensed version more often. Lastly, another young couple doing interesting travel videos is The Endless Adventure. Cheers and Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you!

Enjoying your videos and looking forward to a trip to Tuscany. Had it all set for mid October...who knows. A favorite vlog of mine is Kylie Flavell. She is from Australia and is a photographer and film maker living in Florence. I think she is delightful. And if you miss England, Kirsten Wick is a German living in England and she and her husband visit lots of lovely places in England.

I watch Mossy Bottom - living on a small holding in Ireland , and enjoy the ex pawers - British couple who travel in their small van and live in Spain. But your vlogs are the ones that bring the warm Italian sun into my living room! 😊

[@NickiPositano]

I watch Mossy Bottom too!

[@jennifersnook8486]

Thank you for continuing to post videos. I absolutely love your channel... it's my favorite. I especially love the videos about your garden and cooking. I also like The happy ever crafter and angela bright. I cannot wait to check out your suggestions. They sound dreamy. Blessings to all of you in phase 2! Ours starts on the 18th.

[@andrzejkorytkowski8151]

Nicki, I absolutely love your vlogs as well as your insta. In my top 3. Always waiting for new pictures and films, Sunday morning with my coffee is every week watching you here. Stay safe, safe positive, with lots of peace, harmony and love. Andrzej

[@janetmartin2481]

Our family loves your videos - We love Positano so much - One of our favorite places. We are going to make the spaghetti frittata this afternoon - We have never heard of this before and our grandparents were born and raised in Caserta. We also watch Kylie Flavell too. Keep up the great videos and love all the questions and answer sessions with Carlo. Stay healthy and Stay Safe!

[@marias8007]

[@carolineluke2989]

Another enjoyable video,glad you are getting back to your lovely walks around Positano with Holly.Looking forward to all the new adventures in the coming months.Your videos are amazing ,when I found your channel I think I watched a about 30 the first day and I am still watching all the old ones, so you are definitely doing something right.Thank you and please continue if you can.

[@NickiPositano]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

[@june4033]

I love your vlogs! They are not flat and boring. I have watched the Château vlog and do not care for it all. Much rather watch your vlogs. Loved all the wild flowers you gathered on your walk. Love and hugs from Texas! 💜

[@sadiejosiemom]

So sweet of Carlo to build a swing bed for the neighbor! I know yours is under a cover but it just occurred to me that it rains there - a lot - and so I wondered if it gets soaked. I think it's so romantic - I live in California where the summers are brutally hot and the air quality is the worst - so I doubt I will have one. Love to see you enjoying yours!

[@pomme800]

I've come here from "The Chateau Diaries" where someone mentioned in the comments that you enjoyed watching Stephanie's blog . As a freelance stylist all my life,now retired , I really enjoy watching your vlogs and your life in Positano with Carlos and your daughter Sky. Don't worry about comparing yourself to Stephanie's vlog...you have the same soul. Please introduce us to Carlos' family when you can. Meanwhile, the 500 steps are worth it for that unbelievable view and garden...ciao bella! would love to see pictures of you and Carlos when you met,..New Year..2000. bisous from Montreal xxx momo

[@marcogentile7143]

Don't worry you are doing a fantastic job Nikki. Since you mentioned Sailing La Vagabonde, I watch Sailing SV Delos and Sailing Yacht Florence a British couple and we aren't sailers! Otherwise, I watch space tech like Everyday Astronaut and Scott Manley since there is engineering in our family with one in the space industry. Can't forget Formula 1! Go Ferrari! We had planned a September trip to Sorrento to see family I haven't seen since the early 70's! I hope we can still go. The memories as a youngster spending many summers there in my fathers home town are fond ones and calling me. I can't forget the Vagabrothers channel, they are family friends from here in San Diego

[@NickiPositano]

Thanks Marco!

[@mariaa.9952]

My husband and I cannot get enough of your beautiful vlogs! You are so uplifting!! Carlo lucked out!! Although u r lucky too. 😃 G-d bless u and thank you!! 🙏

[@mayradell3953]

I also watch the Chateau Dairies, Talasbuan, a young couple who lives off grid in Northern Sweeden, Doing it Ourselves, a group of people living in another Chateau.

[@davilianobostonma7669]

I adore Chateau La Londe With Stephanie Jarvis, You are as good and we love both of you! Fantastic Vlog! Thank You so much, you and stephanie have made it easier with Quarantine in Boston! If you like Stephanie, you will love her Friend Michael Petrick. his Vlog is called, Doing it ourselves!

[@NickiPositano]

Of course I already know that though!

[@davilianobostonma7669]

@@NickiPositano Maybe after quarantine we will see you on Vacation there!!

[@kimberleymhoneybee2529]

I love the green and orange bowls. They are so pretty and bright.

[@gmagain]

Mine are totally different from each other. One is yours obviously! , another is Bros of Decay (they go all around the world exploring abandoned homes), another is Life in Jars? (He grows tiny ecosystems in jars), and another is Craiglist Hunter (he runs a pawn shop and records its day to day activities), another is Nicola White (she goes mudlarking in the river Thames and creates art with her finds), last but not least Special Books by Special Kids (he interviews people living with disabilities and I’ve learned so much).

[@MadMorti]

Watching back through your old videos and it’s funny and heartwarming to hear you talk about Stephanie Jarvis’ chateau vlogs in your video and compare your own to hers, and what you think of your own. Like many other subscribers, I feel the same way about your blogs in comparison to my own - not that I have many videos yet and a whole 17 (!) subscribers - but your world is fascinating and interesting and peaceful, and inspiring/uplifting, and like you with Stephanie, one day I’d love to come down to Positano and visit you. I can dream. I’ll definitely be in your neck of the woods at some point - and the invitation is extended to you for a visit when you’re next in Cornwall.... 😉😘 a good reminder though not to compare our lives to others and find ourselves wanting - we’re all amazing and we all have something unique and special. You do you... and it’s fab!

[@MadMorti]

And I’m off to check out Stephanie Jarvis, as having lived three years in France in a past life, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it and find a connection with her life

[@THardy.]

I LOVE your videos. In the mid 80's I lived in Positano. It was much quieter then than it is now. I have been following Sailing La Vagabonde and also Jonna Jinton since their inception. Hauser is always wonderful as is Kara and Nate; My Self Reliance; The Holler Homestead and Justin Rhodes. Thank you for your always interesting content. It brings back such wonderful memories!

[@shelwyatt7203]

I also recommend Doing it Ourselves with Michael Petherick, I am already a big fan of Stephanie’s. Pick up Limes is another good one, a young Canadian woman living a simple, healthy life in Amsterdam. She has a great perspective and wise beyond her years. Love Jonna too. Please don’t ever think you are boring, absolutely look forward to your uploads ☺️💕

[@NickiPositano]

I watch all of them too, thanks!

[@tootsieb11]

Who's Jonna please?

[@KerryBlue72]

I love Stephanie's channel too! 💗 yours is calm and different- don't compare- be you! 💚

[@EnhanceTheSeasonswithKaren]

Hi Nicki! Of course you don’t have to ask me what my new favorite channel is and it’s yours! I absolutely love your vlogs.. they are by far the absolute best! Love all your recipes too! I Hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day! Hugs! Karen 🥰

[@jaynebrandon7184]

Oh yes what time you mentioned videos will be like to watchand ever since then I've been watching her to Nikki I love her family place where she it's not boring that's for sure!!

[@tracynunez3736]

I just love your videos!!!! I love your family and your home is beautiful!!! Italy is just so gorgeous!!!!!

[@debbiefusco901]

Hello from New Jersey USA 10 miles from New York city. I enjoy your videos and was just in florence, Milan and lake como in September 2019. I will be coming to sorrento as soon as I can

[@jeanneamato8278]

I love your videos because they are so real and I like living vicariously through you. Your family is fun and your neighbors are considerate and there for you as you all are there for them. There is nothing boring about you or your videos. I enjoy watching all gardening and cooking vids. Stay safe and healthy.

[@lindawentink2725]

Yes! Also love Chateau Diaries🤗

[@bellmom23]

I am really enjoying watching all of your videos! Keep up the great work and since you asked about channels your subscribers watch...these are the channels I watch; Matt D'Avella ; Kara & Nate ; Dominique Sachse ; Thomas Frank & Abroad in Japan, Cheers from Tampa, FL

[@neilhorner9197]

I have watched the Chateau Diaries and they are good. But - your vlogs are just as entertaining. I find it so relaxing to watch the day-to-day life and your animals are so wonderful.

[@amandademirok7892]

I love the little pretty gems we could see on your walk down to the beach 💗 thank you

[@amandademirok7892]

And I love and look forward to every vlog you present. I know you’ve been doing this for quite awhile and I’ve been following you for over a year now I think. Not one has been boring and I’m just as excited to see one drop in for viewing as I was back then. Everyday life while perhaps a little tedious for you at times is what makes your vlogs so addictive I think. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s wonderful. Having said that I’d hate for you to grow bored and stop so change up whatever you choose but please keep the daily stuff coming also 💗💗

[@joannsalas7015]

I love your vlogs and honestly, this keeps me going right now! Thank you for your recommendations, they all sound great. I enjoyed this video as I always do. Okay Carlo - this is for you when you read the comments - ) I love to listen to you speak Italian! My grandfather is from Sicily and it just reminds me of him so much! I took a few years of Italian in High School - I wish I had someone to talk to now and learn more.

[@leafygreens5249]

We have been watching a blogger from Miami “Traveling Robert” he’s an RVr, not glamorous, he has a live chat on Fridays 6pm EST, also does a live concert on Saturdays, just a regular guy, traveling the states. Also, “The More we Explore”, Utah RVr couple, into trail cycling, just regular Americans, spend a lot of time in the beautiful national parks. When I need a Nonna fix, I watch a NJ Italian grandma cook “Buon-a-Petitti”, she’s adorable.

[@barbaraprue6719]

I love watching your videos. The walking. The scenery and all the cooking. The chickens and the gardens. The whole lifestyle is so romantic and refreshing. You do a great job. Bless your youth and enthusiasm. Brave woman to make the move from England at such a young age. Your daughter is beautiful. And Carlo is a dream

[@NickiPositano]

Thanks so much
