OUR STORY

IT ALL BEGAN IN PUGLIA - WITH A DREAM!

Not the dream you’re thinking of. One night, Giulia dreamt of a stranger she’d only briefly seen at the gym — Francesco — who was… spinning wool in the middle of a square. Yes, you read that right. Please, no judgment.

A few days later, curiosity (and a touch of courage) led Giulia to send him a message, sharing her dream and hoping he wouldn’t think she was completely out of her mind.

To her surprise, he didn’t run away! Instead, he laughed — and then invited her over for tea. (See? Who says you need alcohol for a great love story!)

From that cup of tea, everything just clicked. Their connection was instant and deep. One month later, they moved in together; soon after came adventures in New Zealand and then the Netherlands, two furry companions, and a “yes” in Zanzibar. And after seven beautiful years, they finally settled into their first Dutch home.

There’s been a lot of moving in their story — but one thing has never changed: their love and care for each other. Now, they can’t wait to celebrate that love with you, back where it all began — in their beloved Puglia, Italy.
