Our stone house is a 10 minute walk from the pretty mountain village of Vergemoli. About 100 people live in the village and it is beautifully maintained. The houses are all painted in great colours and surrounded by lovely gardens. The setting is magnificent. Vergemoli is circled by rugged mountains and the views are spectacular wherever you look. Here are some photos I have collected on my wanderings while visiting to watch the progress on our stone house.

Spring means everything start to grow. In April and May the gardens in Vergemoli are full of fruit trees and pretty flowers.

I met Bella, a very busy Vergemoli mother.
Bella has 11 pups
how does she do it?
one tries to take off
These puppies have probably moved on to their new homes by now. I hope Bella is enjoying a well earned rest.
Take a look in the New house in Vergemoli category to see our pile of rocks grow into a beautiful 3 level stone house. I will be back there soon to work on the inside. Click here to see our handsome builders.
