At the rate the two of you are exploring the wonders of the world, I will be poetically drained by the third episode. 😄 I had the pleasure of going to the island myself and found it to be a hidden paradise amidst my favourite lake in all of Europe. Having said that, this is my very small contribution to your enchanting travel vlog: Within the waters blue and green, a distant island can be seen. It is afar in dreamlike pose and teases you to venture close. When stepping from a rocking boat ashore to magic come afloat. A paradise of scents and trees filled with the humming of the bees. From every angle you inspect, a scenic view you will detect. Venetian arches, frescos grand, the enchantment of a fairyland. But once you leave the dream persists and holds you captive for all time. It lingers like the distant song of a church bells chime.
I have to say that I am totally enjoying this new series. I told my husband we have to go back to Barcelona. Now Venice too. Thank you for introducing us to new views from cities we love!
@Travels With My Friend I just wanted to say that taking a couple years to collect episodes and edit them carefully and deliberately was the right move;editing like that takes time, but the beauty we've been seeing on all three vlogs so far deserved the time needed to curate these vlogs. Beauty can't be rushed. I, for one, am so relieved that you stood firm on taking as long as needed to bring us soul-lifting inspiration. I felt like I could breathe today for the first time in a long time, as I immersed myself in this beauty you brought us. Oliver: Emotionally intelligent editing👍🏻. And I never fail to notice and be impressed by what a gentleman you are in the little things you do. This time you were carrying Stephanie's sweater and bag, and with such panache and un-selfconscience poise. I was impressed:). I also found it sweet how much the camera strayed towards your love during the bits you filmed, like it had a mind of its own sometimes😂. You and Camilla are lovely together. I always enjoy seeing your family.
It's nice how they don't rush through these fantastic places, which with everything they have going on in their lives now, they would probably have to do.
It’s impossible to imagine such a stunning place actually exists, this is such a great channel you both have , very different to anything I’ve seen before. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🐨
That place is unimaginable in every respect. Italy is my favorite European country that never ceases to amaze me. Thank you both for bringing such beautiful content to your channel for our enjoyment. These are videos reserved for special people like you. Not everyone has access to such unusual and beautiful places. Exceptional!!!!!!
What a wonderful hostess. She is very hospitable & so knowledgeable! And to have grown up in such a beautiful place! Yet she is very thankful. Loved this!
I think we can all agree that through your eyes we do live in a magical world . Thank you both for the vision and love of all facets of discovery in this serie so far. With gratitude.❤DD.
💖👑👑💖🎬🎥📽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Am loveing this Channel so much .Especially because you both have stayed friends for most of your lives it just makes it that extra special. Thank you for putting the time in makeing this Channel 😊
You have taken us along on many amazing tours of fantastical places but this one really has me floored. I can't imagine how much fun it would be to be a child on that island growing up but the beauty is just stunning. I had to send this to my brother and sister to watch just so I could discuss it with them. Wow!
Beautiful Lady Alberta is mere distinction and speaks English perfectly. Thank You Stephanie and Ollie for this wonderful visit. Your new channel is a gem
Oh my word, this is so beautiful, so nice to see that Camilla and the girls have come along. Alberta is such a lovely lady and to think that she grew up and still lives on this beautiful island and with this stunning villa. Thank so so much for sharing ❤❤
I cannot cope with the beauty of these videos, talented Stephanie and Ollie!!! It is the mix of the stunning places you see and your wonderful personalities that make them such a pleasurable experience!!! Thank you so much!!! 🥰❤🤗
Oh goodness : to date I have not been able to travel , but I don't feel cheated when you keep bringing these beautiful places to my "" lap rectangle "" ( that's what my 103 year old grandma called my laptop ). Retirement is looming on the horizon , then the world is my oyster , so until then I am quite content to start my day with a coffee , a bagel and travels with you two . God keep you all safe ! Cherryl from Canada
I grew up in a town on Lake Garda but I've never been to Isola del Garda so it's wonderful to be able to explore it virtually from London. I actually preferred the previous version of the villa, looked more authentic than the current Venetian style. Thank you for a brilliant new channel Stephanie and Ollie, Camilla and the girls looked lovely, I enjoy all your channels x
Ciao Stephanie and Ollie, "wow" just when you think it can't get any better it does. This villa is absolutely stunning and unimaginable, to think we may have never known it existed if you hadn't been kind enough to bring us along, I know I have said this before but, thank you both for your kindness, friendship and this channel. "Amici per sempre rimarremo"
Can I borrow your eyes? Because I CAN'T BELIEVE MY OWN! Such amazing beauty you found for us at this stunning island! You two are so fun together, and you NAILED IT ON THIS VLOG! Steph's look of joy coupled with your look of satisfaction on the boat ride back with that music actually gave me chills! Bravo, and CHEERS!!!!
Such beauty needs to be gazed on in stillness, so that it has the chance to sink into the gazee's being, creating an echo to the beauty from within. The light in many of the angles was perfect, defused with a haze which softened objects into a oneness that created divine pictures. I think we are very lucky to see these places through the eye of an artist, who understands how to take the scenes to gain the best effect, artistically and spiritually. Thank you, Oliver, for these talented beauties.
Stephanie, I have been watching your videos(and Oliver and Camilla’s) since the beginning of your channel(s). This collaboration with Oliver is worthy of the highest mark of perfection. Your gentleness with each other is very heartwarming. The choice of music and expert filming will be a place I will land often. Thank you.
What a heavenly place and as Stephanie said ‘It is a paradise!’ Imagine growing up surrounded by all that magnificent beauty? Loving this series, Oliver and Stephanie. 👏🥰
I am speechless … un bijou extraordinaire dans son écrin de végétation charmante qui le met en valeur … quelle belle composition ❤ merci beaucoup Stéphanie, muchas gracias, Oliver …
Ollie and Steph thank you for another amazing video. What a beautiful villa. One day if I ever win the lottery I would love a beautiful villa with beautiful gardens where I could hold parties, events for the charities I keep close to my heart. if I don't end up with a beautiful villa in stunning Italy I will have a beautiful Chateau in France to do the same. X
It was truly as if being in a dream! The beautiful island and the Villa!!! The sun sparkling and reflecting on the water from the second level view was absolutely breathtaking! Your gorgeous dress, Stephanie, reminds me of a Piet Mondrian painting! Thank you Ollie and Stephanie!
I feel very privileged that you have taken us along to this unbelievable place. I’ve never seen it or heard of it. Yet you two seemed to have found another place, besides what I saw in episode 1, that no travel show has covered that I am aware of. I will watch them both again. Thanks, friends! Bravo!!!
I love watching you, Stephanie and Olie, both so much as individuals. You’re both such wonderful personalities to watch but together as friends and then traveling to these beautiful places. It’s absolute magic! So glad this channel has finally arrived. 😊
It definitely has nature, history, and soul. More over than that, it is like paradise on our planet. How very fortunate you sll are to have a personal tour. ❤
I love this new channel you two are doing. We have friends visiting Italy right now from California, U.S.A. My husband and myself are planning a trip in a few years to Italy. We are also from California on the coast of the Monterey Bay.
I have been waiting for this video since watching your vlog with Oliver on Château diaries and you mentioned visiting this villa and that you were going to start a channel with Oliver ! Can't believe it's finally here 😃😃😃😃 and can't tell you how excited I was to watch this. ❤
What a feast for the eyes, happiness for the heart and glorious beauty for the soul - THANK YOU Oliver and Stephanie - another show-stopping vlog - blessings to you and your families. So happy to be a devoted fan of this vlog and your individual vlogs as well. As I will never get to see these spectacular sights for myself - thank you again. Love, love love you guys
Incredible that a family can call this fantastic place, home. Such history and beauty and grounds. A magical, wonderful place. Thank you for this channel and the journey of your friendship and such wonders that you share with us. 🥰
A great selection of hotel on Lago di Garda. The Lido Palace is the very best on the lake and one of our favourites. Five star and expensive but you only live once...such a dignified and charming host.
Beautiful! Italy is such a gorgeous place and I love the old homes and chateau's. Thank you for sharing this amazing place. Can't wait for the next video.
“Nature, history and soul”. So beautiful.
Beautiful
I'm not moving from my chair until this episode airs! 😁
Does that mean more on this island.?
I’m really enjoying this series, beautiful photography and insightful narrative.
At the rate the two of you are exploring the wonders of the world, I will be poetically drained by the third episode. 😄

Beautiful island!! What a history. So lovely to see that it is still lived in too.
Thank you for sharing!💚🌿🌸
Loved it! But Stephanie has changed so much in the past couple of years her energy is so light and bright here..
Stephanie's always full of good energy, the kind of person you'd like to have as a friend. Ollie too is a lovely human.
I have to say that I am totally enjoying this new series. I told my husband we have to go back to Barcelona. Now Venice too. Thank you for introducing us to new views from cities we love!
Come to Lagos, Nigeria.

You have taken us along on many amazing tours of fantastical places but this one really has me floored.

I had to send this to my brother and sister to watch just so I could discuss it with them. Wow!
So true, I want to show my mom when she visits.
My first thought also, to make sure that I discuss with my sister asap😁

A paradise island, the house is amazing & the island is a gorgeous setting. What a wonderful place to live !

It would be wonderful if this was returned to the Franciscans, owners for 600 years, praying for our world.

Waited a long time to see this. Thanks Stephanie and Oliver. Such beauty for a residence must feed the soul.
Stephanie, I have been watching your videos(and Oliver and Camilla’s) since the beginning of your channel(s).
This collaboration with Oliver is worthy of the highest mark of perfection. Your gentleness with each other is very heartwarming. The choice of music and expert filming will be a place I will land often.
Thank you.
“ The beauty of man’s imagination,” how splendidly put Stephanie. ❤
What a heavenly place and as Stephanie said ‘It is a paradise!’ Imagine growing up surrounded by all that magnificent beauty? Loving this series, Oliver and Stephanie. 👏🥰
Oh oh oh, how perfect. Not sure why we need subtitles for the proprietress, who speaks perfect English.
Another home run.
Looking forward to the next one.....fast becoming one of my favorite channels.
Oh my goodness, truely a dream place. The architecture, setting, gardens, and views are marvellous.
Such a beautiful and historic property.
Thank you both for sharing this journey with the world.
Thank you for taking us with you on this trip. It was heavenly.

I am speechless … un bijou extraordinaire dans son écrin de végétation charmante qui le met en valeur … quelle belle composition ❤ merci beaucoup Stéphanie, muchas gracias, Oliver …
How beautiful the boat house entrance, we automatically go back in time to the Romans era.
Ollie and Steph thank you for another amazing video. What a beautiful villa. One day if I ever win the lottery I would love a beautiful villa with beautiful gardens where I could hold parties, events for the charities I keep close to my heart. if I don't end up with a beautiful villa in stunning Italy I will have a beautiful Chateau in France to do the same.

This is outstanding. Husband, granddaughter and I will be at lake Garda this summer! Thank you.
It was truly as if being in a dream!
The beautiful island and the Villa!!! The sun sparkling and reflecting on the water from the second level view was absolutely breathtaking! Your gorgeous dress, Stephanie, reminds me of a Piet Mondrian painting! Thank you Ollie and Stephanie!

I will be in Lake Garda in late June and will have to see this! Thank you for introducing us to it!
Finally! As someone from Lake Garda I have been waiting for so long for this video!!
Beautiful house and garden, and Alberta was lovely too.
Beautiful place!
The beauty of the location coupled with the exquisite buildings is what I imagine heaven to be. It brought tears to my eyes.
A great selection of hotel on Lago di Garda. The Lido Palace is the very best on the lake and one of our favourites. Five star and expensive but you only live once...such a dignified and charming host.
This channel is a vacation for my soul! Thank you!
The dog is a Great Pyrenean Mountain dog and he is beautiful as well as the whole island what a place to live.
It's a Maremma sheepdog, they are closely related like many other dogs in Europe they are really effective defending sheep from wolves
Magnificent!
