We are a well travelled family, born and bred in the Far East and have extensively visited most continents. Italy has always had a special place in our hearts since the 1980’s and discovering our house in it’s amazing valley in 1999. Our children have loved the property since they were 8 years old and Millie was married nearby a few years ago. Freddie has planted our cypress drive way and many of the newer olive trees.

Our late neighbour poet, James Berry MBE wrote a poem about Gugliano in 1998.

Like a mate, a place draws you to it.

We touched these undulating valleys:

they embraced and entranced us. Unlike

Shelley – who drowned in the waters of

Cinque Terre – we sank into the arms of these hills.

As an award winning International photographer, I have worked all over the world and extensively in Italy; I am currently shooting a food book ‘Trattoria’ based on the family owned Antica Locanda di Sesto and farm Maolina.

Hopefully our knowledge may help you enjoy your Tuscan holiday.

Best wishes, Hazel & Hugh Johnson
