It was 1988. We were on holiday. We had never thought of looking for a house in the countryside. But love cannot be controlled: we passed by Tartuchino by pure chance, and again by chance we learned that it was for sale, and we fell madly in love with it.
Dreams are the touchstones of our characters
Una settimana sui fiumi Concord e Merrimack, H.D. Thoreau
We fell in love with the stone farmhouse, its staggered roofs, the view from the olive grove, the outline of the hills and the Argentario peninsula in the distance, the clear air, the peace, the colours…
And we are still in love with it.
The cottage was subsequently purchased and restored for your holidays.
