If May was a good month, then June can only be described as great. We had tons of visitors at The Fortress in June, including our very first workshop attendees. My son, Levi, and his girlfriend spent some time with us, too, along with other friends. I've loved every second of being here.The Fortress has proven to be a wonderful place for workshops. The energy is rhythmic, the lighting spectacular, and the views awesome. Of course, June has been a busy month too.There were lots of things that had to be done to prepare for guests, but we found time to tackle it all. We even managed to squeeze in a few area adventures, too.If this month is any indication of what the rest of the summer will be like, I can't wait. As always, follow along on Instagram to see first-hand what our day-to-day looks like here. From lots of antiquing to aperitivo on the terrace, there's always something to see.

Coffee bars are something we like to have everywhere. This one is in our bedroom what a way to wake up in our 12th century fortress. Loving my new side table (and sofa). Morning conversations. It's here it's here the workshop is about to begin, and we are off to the local markets to collect goodies for our photoshoots this session! Our welcome dinner was truly dreamy last night. Tour day in Parma Our farewell gathering was lovely the perfect send off. xx Annette
