At the rate the two of you are exploring the wonders of the world, I will be poetically drained by the third episode. 😄 I had the pleasure of going to the island myself and found it to be a hidden paradise amidst my favourite lake in all of Europe. Having said that, this is my very small contribution to your enchanting travel vlog: Within the waters blue and green, a distant island can be seen. It is afar in dreamlike pose and teases you to venture close. When stepping from a rocking boat ashore to magic come afloat. A paradise of scents and trees filled with the humming of the bees. From every angle you inspect, a scenic view you will detect. Venetian arches, frescos grand, the enchantment of a fairyland. But once you leave the dream persists and holds you captive for all time. It lingers like the distant song of a church bells chime.

“Nature, history and soul”. So beautiful.

Does that mean more on this island.?

I’m really enjoying this series, beautiful photography and insightful narrative.

It’s impossible to imagine such a stunning place actually exists, this is such a great channel you both have , very different to anything I’ve seen before. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🐨

@Travels With My Friend I just wanted to say that taking a couple years to collect episodes and edit them carefully and deliberately was the right move;editing like that takes time, but the beauty we've been seeing on all three vlogs so far deserved the time needed to curate these vlogs. Beauty can't be rushed. I, for one, am so relieved that you stood firm on taking as long as needed to bring us soul-lifting inspiration. I felt like I could breathe today for the first time in a long time, as I immersed myself in this beauty you brought us. Oliver: Emotionally intelligent editing👍🏻. And I never fail to notice and be impressed by what a gentleman you are in the little things you do. This time you were carrying Stephanie's sweater and bag, and with such panache and un-selfconscience poise. I was impressed:). I also found it sweet how much the camera strayed towards your love during the bits you filmed, like it had a mind of its own sometimes😂. You and Camilla are lovely together. I always enjoy seeing your family.

It's nice how they don't rush through these fantastic places, which with everything they have going on in their lives now, they would probably have to do.

That place is unimaginable in every respect. Italy is my favorite European country that never ceases to amaze me. Thank you both for bringing such beautiful content to your channel for our enjoyment. These are videos reserved for special people like you. Not everyone has access to such unusual and beautiful places. Exceptional!!!!!!

Come to Lagos, Nigeria.

What a beautiful home or should I say palace. 🤩

You have taken us along on many amazing tours of fantastical places but this one really has me floored. I can't imagine how much fun it would be to be a child on that island growing up but the beauty is just stunning. I had to send this to my brother and sister to watch just so I could discuss it with them. Wow!

Stephanie's always full of good energy, the kind of person you'd like to have as a friend. Ollie too is a lovely human.

Oh my word, this is so beautiful, so nice to see that Camilla and the girls have come along. Alberta is such a lovely lady and to think that she grew up and still lives on this beautiful island and with this stunning villa. Thank so so much for sharing ❤❤

Omg, I can’t wait!!

Beautiful Lady Alberta is mere distinction and speaks English perfectly. Thank You Stephanie and Ollie for this wonderful visit. Your new channel is a gem

Oh goodness : to date I have not been able to travel , but I don't feel cheated when you keep bringing these beautiful places to my "" lap rectangle "" ( that's what my 103 year old grandma called my laptop ). Retirement is looming on the horizon , then the world is my oyster , so until then I am quite content to start my day with a coffee , a bagel and travels with you two . God keep you all safe ! Cherryl from Canada

I grew up in a town on Lake Garda but I've never been to Isola del Garda so it's wonderful to be able to explore it virtually from London. I actually preferred the previous version of the villa, looked more authentic than the current Venetian style. Thank you for a brilliant new channel Stephanie and Ollie, Camilla and the girls looked lovely, I enjoy all your channels x

Oh my goodness This was the most stunning many vacation I could ever have Imagined!!!! Thank you so much. Big hugs from Washington state USA!!!

Ciao Stephanie and Ollie, "wow" just when you think it can't get any better it does. This villa is absolutely stunning and unimaginable, to think we may have never known it existed if you hadn't been kind enough to bring us along, I know I have said this before but, thank you both for your kindness, friendship and this channel. "Amici per sempre rimarremo"

I cannot cope with the beauty of these videos, talented Stephanie and Ollie!!! It is the mix of the stunning places you see and your wonderful personalities that make them such a pleasurable experience!!! Thank you so much!!! 🥰❤🤗

I can think of only one word to describe what I just saw: WOW!

Great series Keep up the great work ! learning from you guys for my travel business fantastic !

Another home run. Looking forward to the next one.....fast becoming one of my favorite channels.

YOU GUYS …! Wow, wow, wow! THANK YOU - this is exquisite! 👌👌

One can imagine the lovely words of Mr Potts describing this most romantic atmosphere.

Oh oh oh, how perfect. Not sure why we need subtitles for the proprietress, who speaks perfect English.

What a beautiful place and lovely vlog! Just feeds the soul ❤ thank you!

So beautiful! I can't imagine the work needed to maintain the gardens!

“ The beauty of man’s imagination,” how splendidly put Stephanie. ❤

Dreams do come true. Phenomenal treat to see!

This is outstanding. Husband, granddaughter and I will be at lake Garda this summer! Thank you.

Ollie and Steph thank you for another amazing video. What a beautiful villa. One day if I ever win the lottery I would love a beautiful villa with beautiful gardens where I could hold parties, events for the charities I keep close to my heart. if I don't end up with a beautiful villa in stunning Italy I will have a beautiful Chateau in France to do the same. X

Oh my goodness, truely a dream place. The architecture, setting, gardens, and views are marvellous.

Such beauty needs to be gazed on in stillness, so that it has the chance to sink into the gazee's being, creating an echo to the beauty from within. The light in many of the angles was perfect, defused with a haze which softened objects into a oneness that created divine pictures. I think we are very lucky to see these places through the eye of an artist, who understands how to take the scenes to gain the best effect, artistically and spiritually. Thank you, Oliver, for these talented beauties.

Beautiful place!

What a heavenly place and as Stephanie said ‘It is a paradise!’ Imagine growing up surrounded by all that magnificent beauty? Loving this series, Oliver and Stephanie. 👏🥰

I feel very privileged that you have taken us along to this unbelievable place. I’ve never seen it or heard of it. Yet you two seemed to have found another place, besides what I saw in episode 1, that no travel show has covered that I am aware of. I will watch them both again. Thanks, friends! Bravo!!!

I was there with my father some 25 years ago. I still remember the place. 😊

I love this new channel you two are doing. We have friends visiting Italy right now from California, U.S.A. My husband and myself are planning a trip in a few years to Italy. We are also from California on the coast of the Monterey Bay.

What a beautiful place!

WOW STUNNING. ❤

Travels With My Friend is another favorite… so happy Stephanie and Ollie are sooo talented bringing such beauty and joy to their favorite spots ❤️❤️❤️

I love these beautiful vlogs with just natures sounds to accompany….. no human chatter for a change. V peaceful✨

This home was just filled with history and beauty. Any bride would have the most extraordinary wedding there.❤

Just loving these journeys. I wonder where to next?

I love the way you two engage in beautiful, magical places with such awe, wonder and joy! Thank you for taking us along. ❤

I have been waiting for this video since watching your vlog with Oliver on Château diaries and you mentioned visiting this villa and that you were going to start a channel with Oliver ! Can't believe it's finally here 😃😃😃😃 and can't tell you how excited I was to watch this. ❤

Ooooooh! I’ve been waiting for this since you went to Lake Garda! ❤️🇨🇦

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks Stephanie and Oliver. The lake and surrounding areas look heavenly.

Magnificent!

We did this tour in mid-May. It was a rainy day, and a very bouncy boat journey from Sirmione, but completely worth it, a stunning location, exquisite house and gardens with a fascinating history, and an engaging guide, Massimiliano. I'd recommend the tour to anyone, it was the highlight of our Lake Garda visit.

This was wonderful! A magical place that I now want to visit. Thank you Stephanie and Ollie.

This channel is a vacation for my soul! Thank you!

What a beautiful place and the history of the island was very interesting 🤔 loved the video stunning villa . thanks for sharing your trip with us.💕🌼🤗

I will be in Lake Garda in late June and will have to see this! Thank you for introducing us to it!

I keep watching this over and over. So much beauty! I'm getting the travel bug.

I am totally mesmerized. Olie and Steph, many thanks. You made me dream for a moment. ❤ from 🇨🇦

What a feast for the eyes, happiness for the heart and glorious beauty for the soul - THANK YOU Oliver and Stephanie - another show-stopping vlog - blessings to you and your families. So happy to be a devoted fan of this vlog and your individual vlogs as well. As I will never get to see these spectacular sights for myself - thank you again. Love, love love you guys

It was truly as if being in a dream! The beautiful island and the Villa!!! The sun sparkling and reflecting on the water from the second level view was absolutely breathtaking! Your gorgeous dress, Stephanie, reminds me of a Piet Mondrian painting! Thank you Ollie and Stephanie!

WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VILLA.!!!!!! 😮

It definitely has nature, history, and soul. More over than that, it is like paradise on our planet. How very fortunate you sll are to have a personal tour. ❤

Hello Stephanie and Oliver! This Island is absolutely amazingly beautiful! I am so in awe of this place!😊❤

Omg...that property and the views, left me quite emotional !!!! How lucky is she to live there!

Thank you for showing us this idyllic place. It's absolutely one of the most beautiful places i I've even seen! ♥️♥️♥️♥️😘

Lovely new vlogs. Takes me to beautifull new places, that give me joy!

Wow spectacular...thank you for that

Beautiful! Italy is such a gorgeous place and I love the old homes and chateau's. Thank you for sharing this amazing place. Can't wait for the next video.

The kitchen ceiling is the most sensible design for an industrial kitchen. A brilliantly decorated home. ‘Goes to show what keeping the mansions and castles and have people living in them. The spirit of the building lives and the appeal is enhanced. The necessary repairs occur as needed. Not one lump sum that has to be borrowed. The pride in living at such an address would garner appropriate rates,levy’s rental. Saving history and building respect for such dignified buildings.

Please don't stop showing us the beauty of this world.💚

With all the terrible events taking place in Ukraine and Israel and elsewhere at the moment, I felt myself transported - if only for a short time, to a place of peace and beauty. Thank you.

Just WOW

Incredible that a family can call this fantastic place, home. Such history and beauty and grounds. A magical, wonderful place. Thank you for this channel and the journey of your friendship and such wonders that you share with us. 🥰

You certainly live a very charmed life. Thanks for taking us along for the ride to the places we may never have a chance to visit.

Beautiful house and garden, and Alberta was lovely too.

Finally! As someone from Lake Garda I have been waiting for so long for this video!!

Love this channel!❤

Just stunning! Thank you so much. Sandi x

Wow, just wow❤❤❤❤
