Final Words:

Paul Cappelli: We aren't living our dream. We are really living YOUR dream. Anybody can do this, you can enhance your lifestyle. I'm not a big user of the word change, I prefer the term "making things better". I think anyone can enhance their lifestyle, simplify it while living better both mentally and physically!

"One important thing... being successful at it: It doesn't hurt to live this lifestyle and share this lifestyle with other people and still do it as a business."

Steven Crutchfield: Paul had a great quote in reference to when he saw the vision to restore the villa and bring it back to life. Paul had a great quote when he first saw the villa... he wanted to "restore its soul, but in the process, it restored his". It's what we do with our renters, guests, and definitely with our products. Just take a step back and enjoy life, enjoy your food, that's what Italians do so well. We love spreading that message!
