I went to Casa Debbio today for a final visit before I leave for Australia. I have nothing much to show you that you haven’t seen already. A few small things have been done, the dishwasher is now working, there have been a few final things done in the kitchen, the terra cotta floor has been sealed, we have railings on the back terrace…..not very photogenic.
The view from the house is spectacular, so I will show you some of the photos I took on my various visits to Casa Debbio.
We had snow in the mountains around us last night, making everything look even more beautiful.
When I come back in January the landscape will be different again…..I can’t wait.
Goodbye Casa Debbio.
You are right Deb…Your views are awesome!!! Have a safe trip back to Australia!

It is gorgeous in the mountains….and so quiet. I have enjoyed my time at the house. Next year we will be staying there for a couple of months while we work on the garden.

Your photos are awesome Debra…. It would be nice to have another catch up next year, I’ll be back in Italy end of February. I have news. In the meantime, welcome back to Brisvegas, the weather has been spectacular lately.

Oh, you’re getting ready to leave. That has to be bitter-sweet. I know how it feels to have two homes. The view from the house is STUNNING, Deb! Simply stunning!
Hugs,

I will be home next week. I leave here tomorrow, go to Florence, then Rome, Helsinki, Hong Kong and home. It was great fun to meet all of you and I hope to do so again soon.

Thank you very much for all the interesting posts since (and before) you recently returned to BDL. I’m delighted to hear that you are returning early in the new year because your posts and photos keep those of us who can’t get back to BDL so soon, with ‘a toe in the water’ so to speak. Beautiful views from your lovely house, which I am sure will soon be everything you want it to be.

I have enough posts in reserve to keep the blog going until I return, when I will be back out there with my camera.

We have had some dramatic weather here is the last few weeks. I had to keep stopping the car on the way back from Vergemoli just to look at the mountains in the afternoon light. My camera is playing up, so the photos are not as good as they should be.

It must be lovely and soul-restoring to look at those views every day. Safe journey back to Australia.

The sun was shining over the mountains some of the time I was there and it was glorious…but I also love the misty days.

Wonderful views, I envy you but mine aren’t too bad in Umbria. Safe journey back to Oz.
On a boring but practical note… do you know what your cotto tiles were sealed with? I spent a week scouring & de-grotting mine last month, so I guess they now need re-sealing?

I’m not sure of the brand, but it was a varnish, not wax. I have yet to see how effective it is….time will tell.

I can’t believe there was snow there! Seems the weather is just acting a bit crazy everywhere this week. Must be a result of this crazy Hurricane Sandy that hit NY and the upper East coast last night…safe travels and love the photos.
