It´s the best time to travel with kids, when they are under 12, because they usually cannot refuse to go! They enjoy being with mum and dad. They can walk, they sleep in car, train or bus. As a family we did it with our son and daughter (now in their thirties). We went to my family in Guadeloupe, to Paris, Denmark, India, Egypt. A lot of memories and photos. Thanks for showing your special journey with your lovely girls. And dog.
Oh how lovely you're from Guadeloupe! Everyone I know who grew up there had a very special childhood, such a wonderful place! ❤️ I couldn't agree more with you, travelling with kids is not at all as difficult as people tend to think. And it helps you see the world with the eyes of a child. 😊
We loved traveling with my girls, even as teens, they did very well but as littles it was like becoming a child yourself again 🥰 what a wonderful trip. Thanks for sharing with us 😘
So lovely! The signs above the house actually mean „christus mansionem benedicat“ which is Latin for „May Christ bless this house“. It is a blessing that is renewed every year around the sixth January, Epiphany, or in the vernacular, day of the three holy kings, which brings us back to Caspar Melchior Balthasar - CMB.
I think that choosing to dedicate your time to your videos was a perfect decision. I felt like I was watching a documentary. This was a perfect combination of breathtaking scenery, humor and learning. Thank you!
Very smart choice indeed!
What a wonderful episode! I love how Europeans love to hike and there are so many accessible trails and paths. You and the girls walking thru the villages, meeting cows, daddy needing ice cream and having a temper tantrum, lots of fun. Ziggy did really well on this trip, muzzle and all. Rome is magnificent of course. Thanks for sharing.
Your journey is very inspiring, I enjoy watching every step of your way.. keep up the amazing work!
Enjoyed my vicarious visit! Kudos to Anna for carrying Ella while hiking uphill!
I love how the girls are playing on the one piece of furniture in the museum while mom and dad are admiring the art. Something my four year old daughter would do too.
Phillip, I have owned a yacht too and cruised the New Zealand coast. Loved it but I was 10 minutes drive from N Z largest marina and sometimes go for an afternoon sail on my own for my pleasure. My advice ...charter and get 90% of your passion catered for in 3 weeks . No stress, no marina fees, no maintenance and no hassle.
Completely agree, I keep my smaller boat in a shed when not using it, minimal maintenance. Children learn much more developing sailing skills on suitable dinghies, they learn to take responsibility for their own actions, and co-operate with crew and other sailors, you can't argue with the wind!
Totally agree. Scratch the itch and get a real feel about how much time a boat takes up.
Loved Philip's impersonation of...every kid in the world. The whole video was beautiful but I can never get enough of Rome. Enjoyed seeing so many familiar places.
Beautiful scenery in the video! The marking above the door is not a good luck sign for the house. It's called an "Epiphany blessing" which is a Christian tradition. It's written with blessed chalk each year on January 6th to bless your home 😊
Thank you for this precision 😊
And January 6 is Three Kings Day!
Our holy priest comes to our home every year and does the blessing.
And C+M+B means Christus mensionem benedicat - God bless this home
I am surprised you did not invite the orange pipe guy to work at the chateau! 🤣
Anna, your love of art history is infectious. If you ever want to do a sit down video about your favourite artists/paintings please do!
This is a fantastic idea 👏
I’d love to hear Anna tell about her favorite art inspirations, as well!!!
My husband and I were in Ritten two weeks ago staying in a hotel at the Rimmer train stop. The trip down the mountain at night is magical - a hush through the trees.
Cant begin to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Your adventures, the beauty, the family, the comedy. You make it fit together all so perfectly!
Stunning scenery but the most glorious choices of music! Sooooo lovely and so evocative ❤️
cause that's where the roads lead to.
Great blog. What a spectacular trip! The scenery of the TyrolIan countryside is stunning. Safe travels home.
Loved the video! Although CMB also are the initials of Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar it originally meant „Christus mansionem benedicat“ which means „Christ bless this house“. Didn‘t know that until a few years ago!
Thank you for taking us all on a fabulous informative scenic, artistic and fun holiday. I was particularly excited to see the fresco artwork that inspired Anna’s own beautiful version in your chateau’s powder room. Can’t wait to see more holidays which will include the boat Philipp has his eye on. Love your girls and Ziggy. Safe travels home and all the best from sunny Central Coast Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺🥰
The girls are adorable! So well behaved. A credit to their parents!
Philip I hope you get your dream boat someday. Glad to see you all got away and have a nice vacation. Italy is the best.
The happiest days for someone who owns a boat is the day they buy it and the day they sell it!
What a lovely holiday you have had, I really enjoyed the Rome trip and that trip to the mountain was special. I am envious of the fact that everything in Europe is so close and easy to access.
first I was too ill and now I’m too broke to travel to the sorts of places. Thank you so much for sharing a bit of your holiday with us. It’s really nice to see what’s out there and people enjoying themselves together.
I don’t think I would ever want to leave. How beautiful everything was. Thank you for sharing with us 🙏🏼❤️
Well, I've binged watched all of the Chateau Diaries, Doing It Ourselves, and now all of How To Renovate A Chateau. I may never get to France, but these videos make me feel like I'm there all the time.
Philip… I sailed for 7 years… such an amazing time
52 ft sloop
No question it is a life changer… mentally physically emotionally
But…
The same can be said for what the adventure you currently are on
Renovating your dream…
We all have many dreams
If we have the time, the financial ability, the trust in our loved ones… anything is a possible dream or reality
BUT… everyone needs to be on board in sailing ⛵️ not just physically but mentally emotionally and willingly to learn so many things charting, tides, mechanical, each person on the journey needs to know how to handle the ship, the galley, the medical including minor surgery mending etc and so much more
Take it at a slow pace if this is a serious thought for the future
I’ve seen many couples, drift apart because 1 has the passion and the other has the interest and or curiosity or both, but Not the passion
You both, I’m sure can and will find the best answers for your family …
Keep the faith and within the love patience and more information
The answers will become obvious
Thanks for including us on your holiday. I enjoyed revisiting some of my travels. Lovely family trip, making memories with your girls.
Beautiful places. Glad you got to enjoy it together.
Absolutely love your channel. Your humor is so refreshing, such a lovely family living their best life! ❤
wonderful to see you all so happy , with sparkling eyes and relaxed
As soon as I saw the mural i could see it was your inspiration for the downstairs bath. You did an amazing job!
Beautiful journey and family holiday. Ziggy is the cutest and well behaved even with the muzzle.
Such a beautiful history shared by you if Rome. I’ll never see it in person but have studied about all the wonders there. Thank you very much for sharing so much with us.
Anna you are a Rock Star for carrying your youngest hiking up that hill.
Funny how hubby skid the boat sighting in too
I’m so glad you all had a proper break after all your hard work. Happy hols xx
Wie schön, den Ritten einmal wiederzusehen. Im Alter eurer Töchter habe ich dort mit meiner Familie viele Sommerurlaube verbracht. Und selbst als Kind - sonst für die meisten Schönheiten in dieser Welt noch ziemlich blind - habe ich das Panorama vom Ritten aus schon als etwas Außergewöhnliches wahrgenommen.
Wow Phillip and Anna, such a beautiful place, I appreciate you all allowing everyone on your trip. I am so thankful.
I love this episode. Happy for your guys that you spent an amazing time in Rome and in South Tirol. Well deserved.😊
So beautiful! Thank you so much for taking us with you and sharing your holiday
Thanks for the journey. It was totally amazing and informative. Stunning
Wonderful trip. I’m So glad to see you taking time for yourselves. You work so hard.
Beautiful filming! Hilarious-- my children whine whenever we go hiking as well. Glad to see we're not alone 🤣
Every beautiful episode is sublime. 💜💜💜
Wow, what a wonderful treat that was! You came from a gorgeous part of Italy Phillip. You are such a tease, yet your girls lap it up with a smile. Thank you for taking us along on your holiday.
Anna and Phillip, I love your videos! As someone who lived in Oberbozen and Paris for several years, your videos kick up the Nostalgia. All four of my kids have fond memories of adventuring across Europe but Oberbozen holds special memories for us. I’m glad your trip was so memorable. And thanks for putting out interesting, funny and enjoyable content. Best of luck to you and your family!
lovely video.I was so happy you chose my Country to take the girls to,introduce them to its stunning beauty and,why not, having a look at a potential boat you may buy! But you both are people of culture and excellent artistic taste...and great parents.All the best and go on travelling with your kids.When we did the same they were the best times of our life. A hug from us
A wonderful video! I enjoyed every moment, and found special pleasure and interest in the section devoted to your visit to Rome. The children are delightful! Thank you so much for sharing all this with us! Please keep these videos coming!
After all the hard work and sress, a more than well deserved holiday. Enjoy it!!!
"...it's orange and pipes..." LOL priceless, thanks for sharing
Looks like a very fun vacation. I love Italy, and we (Hubby & I) celebrated our 5th anniversary in 2018 in Italy. We spent 16 days in Italy and at the time I had to use a wheeled walker because of my back. I still enjoyed all of the sights. We even saw the Pope on the day of the Immaculate Mother on December 8th. We want to visit it again. To stand in the City Center is a moving experience. To have your feet standing in the same space that has been in existence for thousands of years. Your girls will always remember their experiences there.
How much I love this region, one of my dearest friends lives near Bolzano (Eppan), I spent some time there. Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of the world. (My son‘s great great grandfather came from Trentino, we went to see his village too)
The scenery was so lovely and it looks like you had a wonderful time away from renos to relax. I love architecture, so seeing the buildings and details you showed was a delight. Thanks so very much for sharing your family trip.
Ziggy is such a good boy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Spectacular views and vistas
Thank you so much for letting us see part of your wonderful trip.
Such an adventure. Vistas at every turn. A year or so ago I asked if we would see the areas where each of you grew up. Thank you Phillipp for showing us the South Tyrol and its beauty. Rome is a treasure. I do hope Phillipp gets his boat one day. Possibly sailing it back to Normandy . What a video that would be.
Now Anna ,a return to England some day soon for a trip down memory lane.
Thanks for this interlude with your family every Sunday,,
After 50 years in college I could read most of the comment.
nathan think in love I am 😘🥰💜💜🥰💜💜❤💜 💜🥰💜 🥰❤
Fun! When I lived in Rome as an architecture student, my classmates and I referred to not as "organized chaos". Glad you guys had fun-
I so enjoy the classical music you match to your "story". I'd guess that is your input, Phillip. Good taste!
I love watching your adventures through Europe! I support purchasing a boat...but I suggest getting a smaller one first. See how often you use it and how it fits into your life. Then spring for the big one.
Oh this makes me want to go back! The Alps in Italy and Rome are gorgeous! Best memories I have from traveling with my family
Absolutely spectacular vlog. Beautiful scenery, museums, history, music and boats! What else is there?😁🇨🇦
Outstanding videography! The views and scenery were beautiful and I really loved the reveal of the city lights on your way back down on the funicular! Fantastic! Thanks for bringing us along on vacation with you! I really enjoy you both and your family! :)
My father came from this district, Welschnofen (Nova Levante), not too far from Bozen (Bolzano). The scenery really takes your breath away!
I absolutely loved my time in Roma, so many years ago. I lived there for just a few months. I really have to make sure I return one day. Thank you for sharing your holiday.
Gelato and pizza are so important when in Roma.
The Pantheon was being cleaned when I was there!
Thank you for the beautiful journey and to a beautiful family!!!!👍👍👍👍👍🎆 have a safe and good November month of a Thanksgiving day!!!
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but sweet Ziggy is quite calm (he travels so well) for a Visla breed, let alone as a young pup. And, he is so handsome!! Thanks for sharing your family's beautiful adventure in a gorgeous countryside.
You are correct, we are very happy with him!
Great weather, beautiful scenery and architecture. Who could ask for more. Thank you so much for sharing.♥
Poor Ziggy! Sutton says he'd try to remove that muzzle, too!
Thank you for taking us along.
Loved this episode. Makes me want to travel to Europe again .Italy is so beautiful! I loved your choice of music for this episode as well. So fitting for the classic architecture and the stunning awe-inspiring landscapes!
Thanks for taking us along. Hope you can purchase the 🛥. Lovely family.
I was looking forward to this video , as you are travelling I am doing it as well. You are a wonderful couple and wonderful parents, wishing you a happy reunion.
It was lovely to see more of your girls….looked like a great holiday!
Loved Tirol!! Rome was stunning too! 🥰❤️
Loved seeing bits of Rome today. I lived there for a very little while, and it holds such a special place in my heart. ❤
Love the boat. We owned a 46ft sailing yacht. It was.so much fun, hard work and expensive to berth. ❤
I was honestly wondering how your family was doing. Glad you are taking some time away from tubing to enjoy life & traveling. Good for you. Thx for including everyone!
Beautiful trip. Thanks for sharing..
How fun for your family to visit Roma. Each time I was there I had to pinch myself to believe it was real. Plenty of gelato helped convince me! 🍨
Gorgeous images. Thanks so much for taking us along on the family vacation.
Thank you for taking us on this awesome trip! Loved watching how excited the girls got. And what was that amazing-looking amber colored drink in Rome at the end??!
What a beautiful video! I must admit that in the beginning, I thought you were on your way to show us your newly purchased home to be renovated in the alps! Instead, it was a sailboat! Of course! It makes perfect sense! I really hope you got it. I am imagining the videos and the incredible family memories you will make while sailing. A great addition to your lives I think! Congratulations guys!!
Wow this married couple are the best narrators ever! Loved listening to both of them with their different accents while overlapping the beautiful video of Rome!
That was fantastic, enjoyed the whole journey. Thanks for taking me on a virtual holiday .
Oh nice, visited Rome 3 weeks ago, I recognized a lot! What an amazing city 😍
Just loved everything about this video, you are my favourite family to watch, just gorgeous 🥰
I fell in love with Süd Tyrol this past summer. I’m so excited to go back and that there is so much more to discover!
Thanks for taking us with you on your Italian/Roman holiday. Your trek in the fall foliage high above the town was spectacular. I hope you were able to decompress and rest too.
WOW! What a fabulous vlog! Loved your trip up the funicular - the scenery was breathtaking and those views! We were also in Rome in June and it was great to revisit this beautiful city through your eyes. Thanks for taking us along!
I enjoyed this vlog so much. We returned from a cruise of the Mediterranean last week and took only one day to drive thru Rome. I thoroughly enjoyed your shots. Thank you!
Great video!! Really enjoyed seeing all the sights with you! Thank you for including us. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favourite chateau family❤
What a lovely holiday you had, thanks for taking us along with you xx
Stunning. thank you for sharing your journey. I loved Rome hubby and I had a week there a few years ago. Xx
How marvelous to be in Europe in the Fall..... no oven heat of Rome or the gigantic crowds... although, they did seem to still be there. The doors and hinges on the Pantheon were the thing that impressed me the most. My god, Philip grew up in such a beautiful place! Süd Tirol is just magnificent. Good luck with the whole boat thing. haha.
Thank you for sharing the magnificent beauty of Italy. And, your girls are very lovely.
Thank you for taking us along on your family vacation. Such incredible scenery.
What a wonderful holiday with so many fantastic sites! Thank you for sharing it with your followers 😊. The aerial tram was incredible! Owning a sailboat is fun but also a lot of work. Congratulations if you are now the new owner of a lovely 43’ sailboat. We have a catalina22 which is perfect for playing around on the lake we live on in BC. Omg your girls are adorable ❤.
The blessing on the lintel was such a huge smile. 🤗
Definitely recognize the Villa of Livia fresco as the washroom inspiration! Anna, the charm your talent can add to a chateau hallway of a reproduction of it or something is exciting to think! ...but I also think trying for a human boy is a great idea too. So..., there's that.
How beautiful. Thanks for sharing
What a breathtaking view in Countryside
Love the beautiful scenery and so happy you got to have a holiday after working so hard on the Château. I think Ziggy’s muzzle was upside down for future reference 😅
Sooooo beautiful where you were!!!
A great post. However, I would be a tad disappointed if a boat was purchased before the Outbuilding were completed. I started watching for the wonderful renovations. To see the Chateau come back to life in such a loving and caring way has been extremely enjoyable. For me a boat is indulgent and unnecessary.
What an amazing trip! Thanks for sharing!
BEAUTIFUL1 Thank you for taking me with you to Rome. So much to see, so much to do, so much of everything!
