Just 3 weeks left till our property retreat in Tuscany and a few people asked about the rooms and how they look. So here's a quick tour of one of the apartments where our guests will be staying. We are down to the last few spots by the way. It's not all property, lawyers and tax talk either, there's plenty of good food, wine and time just to enjoy Tuscany with an interesting group of people. If you're considering Italy at some stage and would like to join, lmk!

Took my wife on a spa date today, thoughts: - there's a room with water beds where you just go and sleep. we did an hour - then a guided sleep class with a small group, they give you herbal oils to calm you down. it worked - saw a deer on the drive in - if you have young kids this is the date

I was told Japanese pastry is incredible so I went and tried it this morning. Sorry but it's not in the same league as an Italian cornetto or a French croissant.

Some really good reccs here for when you are in Rome 🇮🇹
Ok, since @TimurNegru prompted me, @TiffanyFong I saw you are in Rome. I just came back and it's my home city. Let me help you with some recommendations. To all Italians, feel free to add yours so that Tiffany has a great experience. If you are into ice cream, the place you must visit is "Come il Latte", near Via Veneto. Probably the best ice cream ever. It's not necessarily well known, but if you had to pick only one recommendation from this list, pick this one: maps.google.com/?q=Come+il+L…. I guarantee this is going to be a 10/10. For aperitivo, even though touristic (nowadays), Hotel de Russie near Piazza del Popolo is the right place. Please email them to book beforehand. Lovely internal garden and excellent cocktails, including their own interpretation of the Spritz: maps.google.com/?q=Hotel+de+… In terms of restaurants, there's literally infinite variety and it really depends on the mood and vibe. For an interesting experience, I'd recommend it especially for lunch, Roscioli. Overall, it's always a must: maps.google.com/?q=Roscioli+… An evergreen, in a good location, I due Ladroni: maps.google.com/?q=Due+Ladro… On the "serious side": best for fish, large portions, excellent service (sit outside) and book before. Ai Piani, in a residential area, no party vibe, "old-school" quality: maps.google.com/?q=Ai+Piani,… Easy going options (among many): - Giulio Passami l'Olio: maps.google.com/?q=Giulio+Pa… - For fresh pasta, the winner is Osteria da Fortunata: maps.google.com/?q=Osteria+d… - Lastly, if you want to push yourself towards the Testaccio area, Felice a Testaccio, excellent cacio e pepe and their famous tiramisù reinterpretation: maps.google.com/?q=Felice+a+… For sushi and a more vibey international environment, Zuma. Among the serious ones, for fish, Tempio di Iside too: maps.google.com/?q=Tempio+di… There's literally so much on offer, but I think if you choose something above you'll do well and have a great experience. Enjoy!

I’ve been on max. 2 cups of coffee per day for years, but now it seems I should drink more? More coffee = less body fat, less belly fat and more muscle, even at the same BMI. Also, for men total testosterone went up about 8 ng/dL per daily cup too.

Spain - you actually live outside most of the year - rich culture, traditions, history and architecture - beautiful beaches - food is still good and not super expensive, even at the random place on the corner - kids are everywhere, in restaurants, in plazas late at night, and everyone's chill about it - people live long here - the biggest high speed rail network in Europe and second biggest in the world after China - most motorways are toll free - quality medical system The downside ofc, salaries are low and rents in the big cities have gone crazy. But if you bring your income with you, it's very hard to beat.
What is the best country to live in Europe at the moment?

This beachfront villa in Spain is ~50% off - 3 beds/2 baths, 210m² (2,260 sqft) built - sits on a 654m² (7,040 sqft) plot - garden gate opens onto the beach path - summer kitchen, fireplace, solar panels+fibre Price: €693k ($788k) Location: Almadrava beach in Els Poblets, right next to Dénia on the Costa Blanca. ~1h to both Valencia and Alicante airports Spain redrew the coastal boundary here last year and the listing says this house is affected, which is why it's priced at roughly half its value. Homes that end up inside that line become a time-limited concession from the state, so you can usually keep using them but you don't own them outright anymore. Something to check if you're looking at beachfront in Spain.

Last week our site's DR was 5, this week it's 19. How do I keep growing it and is it worth spending time on it?

I once ate a 1.3kg steak on my own. Didn't eat all day and went to a highly recommended steakhouse in Florence. Ordered a steak, some veggies as a side and a glass of Barolo. Didn't have room for dessert, but ate everything else. Then walked 6km to my hotel and slept like a baby.
Greek waiter, hilltop restaurant, and the moment I ordered the tomahawk. Waiter: "The tomahawk. It is quite a lot, sir." Me: "Good." Waiter: "It is for two people, usually." Me: "I'm one person, usually. I'll have it." [He goes. He comes back with no bread and a wooden board, and on the board is the steak, raw, bone and all, held out at chest height like something I'm being asked to sign for.] Waiter: "This is it. So you can see." Me: "That's a steak." Waiter: "750 grams. Of meat. And the bone." Me: "And a dish of butter, please." Waiter: "Butter. For the..." Me: "For the steak." [Long pause. He looks at the steak. He looks at me. He takes it away like a man returning a dog to its owner.] [Ten minutes later. Bone on the plate, picked clean. Butter dish empty. The knife has been licked and put down.] Waiter: "You were hungry." Me: "Not really." Waiter: "Dessert?" Me: "No. I'm saving room for the second restaurant on the walk back to the hotel." [He does not write this down. He does not need to. He will be telling it at the pass for a year.] The grandmother at the next table never looked up. She had the head of something.

Who's in Marbella at the end of October? I'll be speaking at the Borderless Wealth Summit 🌊
Announcing Keynote Speaker for the Borderless Wealth Summit 🇪🇸 Marbella Oct 21-25 @TimurNegru 🏡 Presenting on: The Essentials to Success in European Real Estate This keynote is for high income founders & investors who have been shown a listing, but never shown the market behind it. Tim is the co-founder and CEO of AffordiHome, a buy-side advisory that helps international buyers source and acquire property across Spain, Italy, Portugal and France, from second homes to hospitality assets, wineries and historic estates. And unlike most people putting European property in front of foreign capital, Tim sits on the buyer's side of the table by design. He lives between Dublin and the Costa Brava and works on the ground across Mediterranean Europe, because that is where the deals he writes about actually get found. Through his X account (@TimurNegru, 100K+ followers) and a newsletter read by close to 30,000 people, he covers opportunities most buyers never hear about. His thesis is simple: the best properties in Europe are not easy to find. At the Borderless Wealth Summit, Tim will break down how a cross-border acquisition actually happens: who the agent in front of you is really working for, what sits between a viewing and a signed deed across four different legal systems, what financing options are available, where the money gets lost between asking price and true cost, and what separates a real off-market deal from a public listing. What to buy. What to walk away from. And how to interrogate a property before you commit capital to it. Most buyers spend their time searching for the asset. Tim spends his on getting to it before the search starts. This session is about making sure no sell-side brochure gets to decide where your capital lands We still have a few tickets left (100 max). Please comment below "Borderless" if you want an invite.

Italy doesn’t really have a tipping culture in the American sense, but if you want to feel a little bit special and put a smile on your waiter's face and yours too - here's a good way of doing it.
No better way to close the Italian trip. Also, pro tip for when in Italy: give the tip (5-10€) after your first order, not at the end. Do it and let me know how it goes
