hey ciao, I’m Lisa

We’ve been exactly where you are: you are dreaming of creating a life in Italy. I graduated with an art degree, and later became a full time renovator because it was a mutual passion I shared with my husband, I think renovating is in my  blood.

We started buying, renovating & selling homes in Australia. Then: LIGHTBULB MOMENT: We realized that we could take these skills with us to Italy, restore a hamlet at the foot of the Alps, live a simple life, create a movement for others wanting to do the same thing, start our own website, and create a growing Club for other renovators. The possibilities seemed endless!

Now over 10 years later we host guests from all over the world, & inspire others to make the move sooner rather than later, inspire thousands of keen renovators to share their own stories and follow their dreams, & lead a growing group of amazing people renovating homes in Italy. I feel like we have found a little slice of paradise, and we want to share it all with you!
