A new pergola

/
 
We have a new pergola on our roof terrace. It does not only protect us from the sun but also from rain! Lovely to sit outside and listen to the rain drops falling on the sail fabric.

One more month of summer. And my little Cycas palm tree will grow.
 
And if you think the cycas palm was planted in a plastic pot - no way! It is an not easy to find real terra cotta pot. The weight? 30-40 kg! I got two of them, and a strong guest who carried them two floors up! Thank you! :-)


And if you wonder how we got such a nice pergola - just in case you wonder - yes, of course, it was Angelo, as always, who managed to fix all by himself, although the given measures of the ordered pergola (Unopiu) did not exactly suit our terrace. Here you see him at work:

 
He worked on the construction a couple of days. All we were able to do was to provide drinking water, clean up after him and worry about him climbing around on the balustrade. The longest work was the drilling with the wrong drill bit, but at the end it was all fixed and perfect! It even survived the first rain storms!
 


Beautiful! Thank you! Now the roof terrace comes to life, with shade and palm tree(s).

I was thinking it would be nice to have a ping pong table up here to play table tennis. But maybe the winds are too strong. Or a hammock... framed or not... let's see!

Sunny garden corner at Palazzo Pizzo Residence

Good morning, buongiorno from Pizzo!

We are still here on vacation. Lovely sunshine every day. Even last week, when some days started with grey clouds, the sun made its way through - every day. Today we have a nice breeze at the sea. 

And since it's Sunday today, many boats cruise below our balcony. Not only the usual little fisher boats - I can spot some sailing boats - and many more leisure boats, small, sporty and luxury... busy sea, today.

We decided, after a week of visitors and plenty different beaches (see our facebook page), to take it easy today and stay at home.

I got my Unopiu delivery yesterday (new seats and a table by Minerva)! Very happy :-) So, this morning, I  carried my other chairs and table downstairs for our guest residence.  - Doesn't it look inviting (photo) ??

Breakfast in the morning sun with spectacular sea views? Doesn't this photo makes you want to book?

You can book the apartment via tripadvisor / holiday lettings or email me at palazzopizzo-info@yahoo.com or writing.suzie(at)yahoo.com - still until August 21, 2013.

The residence sleeps 2 pax (extra bed possible for 1 kid) - Sorry, we do not accept pets, and no smoking please.

If you are our friend on facebook, send us an email, we will make sure you get a little welcome surprise.

Grazie!
Wishing you all a nice summer!

Pizzo - Bella d'Estate con RAGGIO DI SOLE

To see the full video go to start or to youtube

At minute 15:30 they go towards the quarter Carmine, the oldest part of Pizzo, you will see the street works in progress and Palazzo Pizzo appears at minute 16:08, and "un balconcino stupendo" at minute 16:48. Luckily it was not my laundry day...

The video was shot around July 13/14, 2013. And I love it!

If I would not be here already, I would jump on a plane immediately! :-)
