About

We're Isis and Bertus, a Belgian-Dutch couple who are exchanging the concrete of the suburbs for the peace of nature. After fifteen years of dreaming and gradually working towards making this possible, we stand at the beginning of a new chapter. Our path has led us to a dilapidated farmstead nestled in the rolling hills of the breathtaking Langhe area in Piemonte, Italy. We invite you to join us on our journey of intentionally and lovingly restoring this beautiful 200-year old farmstead. We can't wait to breathe new life into this house and its surrounding land and to learn from the challenges ahead of us.

Video Description

This week, we cleared an old country road that had been overgrown for about a decade, finally making it accessible again. Along the way, we cut and stacked firewood to dry, visited a local winery, and ended the days with a good campfire. There was also some time for smaller projects—propagating horseradish, and enjoying a hearty Flemish beef stew, a family recipe cooked by mom. We're Isis & Bertus, a belgian-dutch couple. In the summer of 2023 we moved into a neglected farmhouse in a tiny village in the northwest of Italy. The last inhabitants left some 15 years ago, but large parts of the property have been empty for well over 20 years. Thank you for joining us on our adventure!
