Question...is there ANYTHING that Alla does not love, except bugs? I love your enthusiasm for life Alla!
Wonderful! Thank you so much for taking us along on your visit to Villa Carlotta. The ceilings and gardens were amazing to see - and I imagine even more beautiful IRL! Excited to see your frogs grow and enjoy the water plants!
Alla and Sergei thank you for sharing such an amazingly beautiful place and gardens. The rose spilling over the wall was stunning. What beautiful views and inspiration. You both had such a grand outing. Your little frogs will have a good home at Del Oro… but your garden is perfect for you both . You baby frogs will be happy in your pond. I am growing squash , tomatoes, lettuce in pots along with some herbs, and bought an English burp-less cucumber today to plant. Mine are all in pots. That I can move in the courtyard to the son. Love to you both.❤❤❤
The Villa Carlotta Gardeners need their own KZread channel! The Rhododendron’s are a great topic for a vlog for starters! Wow!
What a wonderful day at Villa Carlotta thank you for taking us along! So much inspiration inside the villa and in the gardens. The baby frogs will love your villa pond ❤
Wow! The ceiling in that first room is stunning!!😍 the whole building is beautiful
I loved that place. I hope you go back and do a photo shoot of the head gardener. Something to so him how much you appreciate him doing that for you. You alway show beautiful views. Something to think about. Maybe him in his favorite spot. A photo for him and 1 for you. Good people are hard to find. Please keep good family and friends close.
Neznám usmjevavější a pozitivnější ženu než jste vy.Zahrada je úžasná.Zdravím z ČR
Thanks for taking me along on your wonderful tour of the Villa Carlotta. Also thank you to the head gardener who was kind enough to give you and us a tour to show off all of his hard work. I can't believe that only 10 gardeners tend such a huge, lush and beautiful garden. I'm glad you now have some little froggies to live in your pond.
I love how you love life.....
You have outdone yourself with this video. The tour of Villa Carlotta was so very well done - very professional. I love the ceilings, too. When I set about reinventing my studio building last year, at the very same time I found your inspiring channel, I decided to cover the old and uneven ceiling with delightfully molded foam tiles. I’ll send you a photo soon. The tiles changed my studio for the better. It’s an idea you might choose for some of your painfully damaged ceilings.
Yes you could . Your such a talented young woman . Thank you 🎉❤
You and Sergei make my day, I love you both, lovely video Alla, good luck with your new babies! Much love xxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How beautiful, my goodness! Thank you for sharing your visit to Villa Carlotta . So much inspiration for your villa! What I love so much about your channel is how you see beauty in everything. The plants in baskets on the trees are Staghorn ferns. I’m sure your guide told you but just in case. Thank you again and Sergi too for sharing this lovely day.
Hi Alla & Sergei, If you have the patience Alla ,your ceilings would look stunning painted & would make the downstairs rooms lighter,as there quite dark ! Nowadays you can buy amazing stencils that you can use over & over again, or inexpensive moulding to stick on !that would certainly help ! 🥰
We went To See villa Carlotta when We went On Holiday Eight Years ago Amazing 👌💕
Loved those painted ceilings on the timber. That would look perfect in your place. I thought the bedroom in the villa with the bright pink walls would not have been the original colour, as it didn't go with the painted ceiling at all. Thank you for another terrific video.
I love those painted ceilings. Very delicate and colorful and light.💕
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed looking at the Villa. The ceilings were my favorite part. So beautiful. Can't wait to see what you will do with yours. You have beautiful talent. You have a beautiful garden too. It's just on a small scale. Take care.
Looking forward to seeing the tadpoles to grow into frogs, when I was a little girl my mother always brought some to the garden & put them in an old tin bath in the garden so we could watch them turn into little frogs ❤️
Absolutely beautiful ceilings & gardens Alla. Thanks for taking us along. Great inspiration for you indeed .🐸🌲🌴🌾🌿🏞⚜️
I was so looking forward to this video of your visit to Villa Carlotta. I imagine you're both bursting with ideas. I do wonder about planting bamboo - it is so easy to become an invasive weed in the garden. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Alla give you ideas for your house 🏠
I knew you would love Villa Carlotta as much as I did when visiting in May 😂

Alla you are an amazing artist. I can see you replicating some of those ceilings in your Villa 😊 I painted a mural in my toilet. It’s not that great but I love it. Going to be hard when it needs repainting 😊😊 I would love to see Sergei making risotto ❤
BEAUTIFUL VILLA💖
I am thinking I would not like trying to keep that villa clean! Would take an army! But beautiful!

What a beautiful place Alla. I can see you have Inspiration for your painting of ceilings. This I cannot wait to see. Thank you for the trip ❤
Really liked the horsetail ferns, and the bromeliads they had. The other varieties of ferns near the waterways and fountains were lovely. I don't think I've seen so many varieties on one place.
This is all sort we need for our garden, Котик;))) милота!
What a lovely tour of the garden and grounds. Such wonderful inspiration and to now have a friend who is a head gardener in the same climate as you! Such a treasure of information. I also love the frogs :).
Thank you for the wonderful tour of the house and gardens!😊
What a wonderful visit. Glad you got little Allie and Sergei frogs❣️🐸🐸
How amazing. It’s on my list to visit in the summer. Hope the frogs like their new home
Aw congrats on your frog babies🎉🐸 thanks for showing us Villa Carlotta❤
Gosh you have wonderful places to explore over there including Villa Carlotta. So Beautiful 🤩 ❤
Wouldn't it be lovely if travel was free to be able to visit some of these beautiful places luckily we have utube and you to show us thank you for sharing 💜I am in love 💜
Bamboo is very invasive always put in pots always
Breathtaking!
That was simply wonderful!
The Villa is beautiful, I watching now but wanted to let you know in USA we had a house from the 70's that had lighting around the ceiling with vaulted ceilings and it was called indirect lighting. Not sure if same terms used there. I love your video's thank you for sharing your creativity and hard work with us. Patty
Ciao Alla and Sergi, what a beautiful day to spend at Villa Carlotta, the gardens were amazing. Do have to feed your baby frogs? or do they forage for themselves? Your garden look so beautiful as well. Enjoy the rest of your day. Love from N.Y.
I love ALL of your videos but this one is at another level! I agree... it's hard looking at my little garden now. Love, love, love!!! Thank you for the tour!!! :)
Thank you for sharing this inspirational place
Thank you for including us on your tour of the villa. It is beautiful! Maybe use stencils or transfers for your own ceilings. The villa gardens are amazing!
Nice👏🏻❣️
