Grapevine Stories
Restoring a Tuscan dream
I met up with Nicholas Hopton to talk about his beautifully evocative book, Maremma Mia, which follows the story of restoring a house in Tuscany. We discuss the realities — and romance — of renovating in rural Italy, from unexpected challenges to the charm of Tuscan life and community. It’s a warm and fascinating conversation about taking risks, starting again, and creating a home in one of the world’s most idyllic settings.
