[rainbowsparklelove12]

What was in the box/present on the bed?

[ParisAlwaysx]

Were you staying there with other tourists?

[mauricemattei]

Thanks so much for posting these. I love them!!! (Esp. that amazing villa and dinner party - fantastic!)

[mauricemattei]

I was born in Lucca. My family still lives in the region. Your videos are blowing my mind.

[robesondesign]

@mauricemattei Oh my goodness...how cool! It is beautiful in Italy!

[myvibratincranium]

<3 haha i loved the girl that couldn't say "poetry" :D

[sparklinmakeup]

I love it thank you for taking us with you on your trip. Love it inspired!!!

[TheFroooop]

omg.. i'm just having a heart attack right now !! :D That Tunnel you were driving through 00:24 i went there this summer ! :D We lived in a little town next to lucca and san guiliano terme, it was called santa maria del guidice .. i want to go back so baaad ;(

[annakarenina88]

la mia Italia <3

[robbie3035]

One word " filthy "

[GlamGirl15487]

Beautiful! :) wow

[thomasfoxie]

Sharrah looks like the chick from the movie Taken lol

[greenbutterfly101]

It's complete romantic "poetarrrrry" ;-)

[KTBSPA7287]

I was fortunate to visit Tuscany about 2 summers ago and this video made me realize how much I missed Italy! 

[tewkewl]

that italian girl is HOT!

[candiceolsin]

This is MAGNIFICENT! I have a great appreciation for the opulent design esthetic! Not for everyone but definitely perfect for a luxury stay in a place like Italy. Bravo to the DESIGNER. I can see why you were so excited! I would have been too... and we see a lot of great things do we not? Yes, but this was MAGNIFICENT!

[paris0aa]

i dont get it when you said it wasnt just a dream the email was true... anyhow the place is Amazing! my mouth was wide open through out the whole video!! Beautiful

[robesondesign]

@paris0aa .. lol.. Ok, I guess that wasn't clear.... I received an email from a total stranger 18 days before the trip inviting me as an American Designer to experience the luxury of Tuscany at Villa Michaela. We felt confident it was a legitimate invitation to an amazing place but we really had no Idea until we got there. Sharrah feared it could be a scam.. I figured either way, we'd have an adventure. Turns out, we did have one but in the most amazing way possible. RR

[PandyBean]

did you get partner status back?

[robesondesign]

No @PandyBean, I did not. You tube is still running ads on my videos without my permission. Apparently, they don't need it. RR

[GubblebumPink]

The Italian poetry lady is so beautiful!

[superqueenmelissa]

woooow, veryyy pretty!:)

[fishnmum]

I imagine you are on overload for new design ideas. I love that ornate wood "credenza"in entry foyer with mirror above it. My goodness what a dining table! Wait was that marble molding? Love all the wood pieces and tiled flooring. haha po-i-tree

[mtsc21]

love tha videos, are you going to other countries?

[indigolife]

I totally agree with you. I like being there but do not like getting there. Especially being on the air plane is the most dislike part of traveling. Anyway, thumbs up for this video from Tokyo:)

[dferrei5]

Your having to much fun. After the bumpy yr you needed this. Can't wait to hear the story's from both of you when your in my chair next time.

[TropicalJul]

your daughters pretty and your so nice & prettyyy too (:

[snaganoffcasey13]

Awesome that`s all i can say

[AMSIRAKDIVAN]

20 chairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KarinasPets]

my mom wants to go to Italy so badly, and so do I

[meZoRRoZa]

I'm going to luca in the summer!!! can't wait!

[russtex]

Great video!

[MrArturoTrejo]

Two words. Awe. Some.

[saki14duh]

lol who was the guy that was cursing lol :0

[TheLisey]

Lovely!! Thanks for taking us along! ;)

[stagespectre]

I been to Tuscany. Go to/stay at the Villa Rucellai, in Prato. Visit the converted Amphitheater in Lucca. Go to Firenze(Florence) and visit the DuomO and their is a vendor by a carousel that looks like Dustin Hoffman. If you're going south, visit San Galgano and Orvieto. Awesome part of the world.

[stargirlvictoria]

ahhhh 6:35 gorgeous room :)

[stargirlvictoria]

:O i am jealous. I would LOVE kitchen like that :)

[SwitchedOnBeauty]

Even the best interior designers can learn from the gorgeous styling, gorgeous! x

[w35t51d369]

Nice but surely a beautiful cottage would have been more suitable, that way you can explore the country side and the city. That house is very pretty bit too big.

[desertrozes]

Is this gonna be rude if i unsubscribe for this torture!!! i cant say how JEALOUS  I am now...:(

[Jessayyeee]

Omg they should have no right to still make money off your videos! There should be a way to complain about this>:/

[macmakeup11]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing

[cownamedlary]

I like how the entire Princess Tutu soundtrack is in this video XD classic ballet music~!

[DownsAngel]

Breathtaking....To say the least.

[portubambina88]

great video but the music is alittle annoying!



[gelliebellieful]

It's so beautiful there.

[akschauer]

Did you they give you back partner? I'm seeing ads. :)

[PLTbyCormie]

Wow its so beautiful there..my friend is moving to Italy this summer and I think Im more excited then her..I plan to visit once she is settled so thank you for sharing..its simply breathtaking.

[cgonzal77]

that would be my dream come true...Tour of Italy...

[hamudito9]

owsam



[empouse]

Simply stunning. A good portion of my heritage is Italian, and I'd LOVE to visit Italy one day. Better yet, I'd be so stoked if I could live there for a year or two. :D

[lovablemein3d]

This is so beautiful!

[laleelay]

i wish they had a "jealous" button

[danda350]

LOL. Don't forget to "favor" this video. Thumbs up if you saw this. :D

[LizywoOorld]

so lovely!

[MsLovin2010]

Gorgeous place.

[iamfabulous09]

i love that place its so beautiful!!!

[xodreaming]

[delcamp11]

absolutely gorgeous! thanks for sharing!

[blutsx]

You got your partnership back?

[gypsygirlcreations]

omg.. the backyard looks like the secret garden..... :D

[txjen100]

lol at when she said yugoslavia

[Nekuccia]

lol there are people swearing in italian during the poetry part!

[elihernandez89]

i don't think she rented out the entire house. bed and breakfasts villas are very common in Italy.

[elihernandez89]

"oh we have a muffin room" LOL loved it.

[emslifee]

How the heck did you rent a house that BIG for a week?!

[07jlock]

that place is soo beautiful!! i hope you two are having fun :)

[sakura101avalon]

I like your modern style better. This looked relatively cheap and old.

[beadlesrcool]

@sakura101avalon she didnt decorate it. shes just staying there.

[beadlesrcool]

@sakura101avalon she didnt design/ decorate it. shes just staying there I believe.

[THEimaginista]

P O E T R Y !!!!!! Hilarious!!

[EmilyTheGleek]

You are so lucky! I'm sure you are having a great time! :)

[aka0jelly0bean]

your getting me all excited for my trip this summer

[crazybeautifulmua]

I am so jealous! You girls look fabulous!

[minmags78]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing;)

[LilySewRandom]

The poetry part was hilarious... as was the singing into the flowers. I'm guessing that was after a few glasses of wine ?? ;)

[101juliak]

OMG! That is so awesome. I'm so thankful that you took the camera with you and shared this with us...it just seems like such a great atmosphere there. Can't wait to see more. How long did it take you to get there?

[TeenageAngstct]

The music is a bit too loud at the end...

[robesondesign]

@TeenageAngstct ... lol... agreed! I guess that just stands to confirm how much I need my Son Scott to edit my videos! For this trip, we have bitten off a lot, trying to film everything, edit late at night and upload by morning only to find it takes 10 hours to upload a single episode! I guess some of the fine details get overlooked... hope you enjoy the series in spite of the flaws! Thanks RR

[TeenageAngstct]

@robesondesign thank you so much for taking the time to reply! (I couldn't believe)... please, don't get me wrong, I'm not an hater... in fact I most rarely comment videos, just when I think my comment might help the video maker to improve this or that, I usually show my support only by "thumbing up"...

Anyway, I'm looking forward to see the rest of the "avventura italiana", thank you for bringing us along with you! *

[TeenageAngstct]

Amazing! it's funny how the streets look a lot like portugal :P

[lordfredfine]

Rebecca, who were those Italian people? Why were you all eating together?

[TheMsana1]

Wow! so beautiful! Makes me want to travel more and experience life more. Like they say THE WORLD IS A BOOK IF YOU DON'T TRAVEL YOU'VE ONLY READ ONE PAGE!! Thank you Rebbeca for sharing this wonderful experience your having next to your daughter!!

[BalladOfADream]

Oh my goodness, it's so beautiful. I had to stop everything I was doing and pay attention to the detail of this video. I'm going to Capri this summer with my boyfriend so this makes me even more excited for Italia!!!!

[Flexmeister]

sorry--I like your style better Becca

[Sassymarkrep]

Beautiful!

[tess2626]

OOOOOOOHHHHH my gosh that was amazing....makes me proud to be Italian!!!

[animalrescuegeek]

How wonderful. Bless you for sharing this with us. I just love it!

[ward148]

I see an Ad!!!! does that mean your partnered again?

[MahoRoulete]

@ward148 I wouldnt think so. The song is probably a 3rd party content.

[robesondesign]

@MahoRoulete The song is Royalty free music from Premium Beats called Touch the Sky by Yung Sir

[MahoRoulete]

@robesondesign Choosing Mendelssohn Italian Symphony was a great choice of music. For future videos in this series, you should think about something by Vivaldi or Briccialdi if you havent already. Both are Italian composers of the baroque and i believe romantic.

[robesondesign]

@ward148 ....... NO IT DOES NOT!!!

My Partnership has not been reinstated.

I am confused as well on the ads I now see running ON or IN my videos.

Apparently, Google will continue to make money on my channel, but no longer a partner, they have no obligation to share the profits with me... Truly a SLAP IN THE FACE if you ask me.

Its the height of OUTRAGEOUS unfair business practices. I did go through the appeal process but was denied again and the case is officially closed. Rebecca

[ansbach74]

Glad to see you and your daughter are having a nice time. Don’t you just love the Tuscan style of decorating? Thanks for sharing. Be safe.

[andreaemay3]

did you get your partnership back?

[telvo14]

awesome videos!!!!! I enjoy every sec of it.

[TheBritbomb]

The lady trying to say "poetry" reminded me of bambi trying to say "bird" so cute

[Redeemit09]

Fun Times!

[MichaelWarbux]

Looks like you're having an awesome time! PS: There's ads on your videos! Did you get your partnership back?!

[debbie38381]

That was so beautiful, I bet the pasta there is so good it'll make you want to slap someone, can you tell I love me some pasta

[woqpyeal]

That house is absolutely gorgeous!! I'm breathless =)

[cooldood42]

[smacktalking]

[lilluchka]

[someone12310]

I so agree: I hate travelling -.-

But a great thing about Europe is that no matter where you will end up it's always gonna be an interesting/beautiful place :)That's something I don't have to worry about while traveling through this continent...my continent. Btw: Hallelujah EU Shengen area!! ^^

[loriannlouise]

[luvs2shop661]

Thank you SOOOOO much for sharing.:) It is so exquisite! What a beautiful place.:0)...POETRY..;)

[creativeme100]

beautiful, it's like a museum. Gorgeous, I love Europe for this kind of places and architecture. Enjoy your trip!!!

[1Sunrose]

Wow! Wow! Wow! life is but a Dream. I love this video. Thank you both for taking the time to post this. I want to live in a home like that. Don't even answer back to this comment just relax and enjoy your time together with your daughter and all the beauty (people and place) around you.

[leahW21]

Wow this is beautiful!! Do you think you could give us an idea of how you planned this trip and finances? You don't need to mention the prices if that is uncomfortable for you, I just would love to know how to do a trip and stay at a beautiful place like that! I feel that in foreign countries having knowledge of how to get around and where to go is very important! Thanks! You are so lucky!

[starzhere]

I can't wait to see more. I'm trying to convince my husband that we need to go. He's more an adventure vacation type of guy.

[kandeesfan316]

Omg Rebecca! I'm in tears just looking at that place!! How friggin' amazing!!!!!!!! And you need to tell me where to find a bracelet like the one Sharrah is wearing, it's absolutely stunning! You look like you're having a lot of fun!! I'm so happy to see you happy, and singing! LOL xo!

[MsBinkies]

i'm emailing this to my mother. she would die at the sight of the yellow room with the yellow and blue. it's how she has her living room and dining room (well, not yellow walls. that's in her foyer and upstairs hall. and the bathroom off her foyer is blue). she very much loves both french country and old, old italian styles of decorating... which may be why she married an italian the second time around. haha.

but man, it is STUNNING!

[jesikasyks]

Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing :) iv always wanted to go!

[Bobesque]

thank you for bringing italy to me!!

[angelface14363703]

your daughter is gorgeous, but then having you as a mom it was expected, and the only words I can say for the place your staying at is OMG!!!!!!

[HouseOfHaute]

OMG Rebecca, I this video makes me REALLY REALLY miss Italy. It has to be one of the most BEAUTIFUL places in this WORLD. So Glad you guys went!!

[MsBinkies]

OMGGGG first thing... YOU HAVE ADS BACK! did they re-instate your partnership??

i know it's not about the money for you (which is part of the reason i love you so much) but you being able to get just a little something from it for maybe like a few nice bottles of wine or something is nice and something you DESERVE!

is it silly if i REALLY loved the muffin room? lol. my mom always says if she'd have another house built, there would be enough land for her to have a detached kitchen. lol.

[HouseOfHaute]

YAY!! YOU GUYS MADE IT!!! So thrilled for you love!!! Xo!!
