I always had a yearning to spend more time in Italy having enjoyed 2 exchanges there in the early 80's as a teenager. I couldn't believe how wonderful the country was, the landscape, culture, food.
I saw Casa Lola in 2001 as a wreck in a relatively unknown but stunning part of Italy that is Le Marche while on holiday - and that was that, I bought Lola.
Many years later and after much transformation, love and attention the house is wonderful, enjoyed by my children, friends and guests - so lucky.
