Description
Hi all,
My I am from Scotland and my husband is from New York. We recently purchased a beautiful country home in the Venetian countryside in Vicenza which is halfway between Venice and Lake Garda.
We are currently doing some light renovations to the property which is set among vineyards nestled in the Colli Berici.
The 3rd member of our family is a German Shepherd named Bear.
