[Gala Placidia]

We are so excited! Our agents have called us to inform that the old "Mulino" at Bagni di Lucca that we wanted so much is finally ours. We were worried because we had given a power of attorney and we were not going to be present at the notary's office... but everything went just fine, the water mill is also insured, just the way we wanted it to be.... We are in heaven!!!
It has taken us 3 trips before we were able to found this particular property and we were quite pesimistic about whether we were going to find something that we would really love. We visited during these trips several properties, but we were not terribly happy with them ... and suddenly, as if it was waiting for us, it appeared. Exactly what we wanted and a beautiful location on the banks of the Lima River.
The mulino needs some work but it can be habitable very soon if our geometra can manage to get the electrician, the plumber and the builder on site to do some repairs and new connections.
Fortunately, I have the "built-in" architect, my husband, who will be having fun with all the works.
We shall be going to Bagni di Lucca at the end of November for a couple of weeks to oversee what is going on, buy some basic furniture, order the new kitchen... It is a pity that it cannot be ready by Christmas... well, it will have to be next year then. I wanted to have my "Italian Christmas" there.
I will try to attach some photos to a different message as I am having some problems with this one
