The Rocca dei Trinci is a 13th Century tower near Foligno in Umbria with 5 bedrooms that can be rented either individually or as a whole for events, weddings etc.
Chef Celine is a cordon bleu trained private chef, available for private bookings, weddings and events. She is based in Tuscany.

We visited the Cascate Menotre near the village of Pale
Orecchiette con funghi porcini e pomodori secchi:
Spring onions
sundried tomtoes
cherry tomatoes
porcini mushrooms
parsley, chilli flakes (optional)
orecchiette pasta 100g pp
Soak the mushrooms in a bowl of water to rehydrate
Sautè the spring onions
Add the mushrooms and part of the water they were soaking in.
After a few minutes add the tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Add chilli if using. Keep adding the mushroom water to keep it moist. Leave to cook, keeping an eye on it.
Cook the pasta separately.
Mix all together when the pasta is cooked and add the parsley as a garnish

Seen all perfect. I have sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms sounds like my dinner tonight. The water fall areas are like the ones found in South America and have to hike to visit them.
Refreshing and wonderful as usual. Lovely response to any negativity. That castle is a dream and so reasonable. Thanks to you all for the joy. 🦋🌷🌹🕊️🙂🌻

To anyone complaining about the video being “blurry”, if you don’t like it you have the option of not watching or fly to Italy and go see for yourself it will be very clear. Nicki and Carlo, thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos. I see things I may never see in person!
I had a good laugh when I heard Carlos version of “stop busting our balls”😂😂😂😂😂😂 “don’t break the ball” LMAO. Such a magical vlog with quality time spent with good friends in a castle! Doesn’t get much better than that!

He was like...Y'ALL BETTER NOT SAY ANOTHER WORD ABOUT THESE MASKS...EVERRR! I'm right there with you Carlo!😂 😂 And Nicki, please have Celine on again. I love her.

Nicki received a comment from a FORMER PATRON stating that what Carlo said was RUDE and she felt "disquieted" when she saw they weren't wearing masks! Like the world revolved around a certain Potato Chip brand...if you knew the woman's name you would understand. She was so disturbed by his uncaring comments that she pulled her money support! Please God save us. Cyber Hugs.

Wow..! What a beautiful place❤️ Thank you Nicki and Carlo for taking us through such a beautiful paradise 😍
If you live in Positano, you're fit enough to walk up the tower! Holly looks like she fits in well.
Re. Carlo's admonition. You all have shown that you follow the ever changing rules and surely after more than a year you know the best ways to keep yourselves and others safe. I think the comments are just part and parcel of the challenges we are all facing easing into life after being guarded so long. What a gem of a place to hike! Thank you for sharing this glorious holiday accommodation. It is such a joy to see you enjoying your time together and delighting in what you discover, even if it wasn't want you expected.
Magical! Thank you so much! I can’t imagine the climb for many of us. If you, who are used to hundreds steps every day, complain about it, what is there left for us !. Congratulations and lovely that you are so generous and share all this with people around the globe!❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Oh, Nickie!!! What a perfect way to spend a rainy Sunday morning! This video had everything: beautiful scenery, yummy food, and laugh out loud funny parts. How blessed were you to spend a few days in that amazing spot! Thank you for inviting us along.

I'm sitting here as my 16 year old muppet of a puppy, a silky terrier, is dying of cancer. Its in the middle of the night, I have the window open so he can breathe and smell his last smells. He has been by my side for 16 years because I could take him to work. We're lying on the bed together, he's not really moving anymore, just sleeping, and I just needed to have a mental break for 20 minutes and go to Italy in my mind, as he's lying next to me. Thank you Nicki and Carlo. It looks like a slice of heaven, especially the fields of poppies. Whenever I traveled to Europe or Italy, the joke was that 'my dog would love it here' as all I could think of was how much my dog would love the places I'd seen. So that field and the waterfall, yes definitely my dog would have loved it there. Thank you for the escape. xxxxx

Hello Nicki, Thank you so much! For sharing with us all the beauty and splendor of Umbria, i felt in love with Umbria after watching the movie “Enchanted April” long time ago. Every detail in the cattle, the views from it, the cooking, reuniting with your dear friend, The water cascades, just breathtaking. I really enjoy your videos.Thank you!❤️
One of your best video’s yet, IMHO. So much talent - at snatching drones even. Much thanks to you, Carlo and your friends for sharing your adventure.
