We are Rebecca & Pierre Gouttenoire.
We have a strong focus on local food and wine, and through our tour operator Grape Tours, we offer day tours from Florence but also multiple-day tours in other regions (www.tuscan-wine-tours.com).
In 2021 we opened a cheese and wine shop called Formaggioteca Terroir which you can visit in downtown Florence, Italy (www.formaggiotecaterroir.it) - it was awarded Cheese Bar of the Year in 2023 by the italian Cheese Awards.
As of 2022, we acquired an old Tuscan farmhouse in Chianti Classico called Campo Sasso, and in 2024 it is featuring on HGTV/MAX "Fixer to Fabulous - Italiano" (www.camposasso.com).

Campo Sasso house tour - renovated farmhouse in Tuscany
📰 It's about time that we show you what Campo Sasso looks like now, 8 months after the reveal on the TV show Fixer to Fabulous Italiano in late January 2024.
We’ve spent the spring finishing all the loose ends and getting (mostly custom-made) furniture in by great local artisans. Every home is in continuous evolution and Campo Sasso will be just that. We need it to match our goals: to age cheese, to host tastings, to rent to guests who can stay for 5-6 days and enjoy a retreat in the tranquil Tuscan countryside.
We’ve had the first renters who’ve been incredibly gracious. We couldn’t have asked for better guests!
Now we are ready to show Campo Sasso in its current state, but bear in mind we are not done decorating yet, and there are still details we need to complete when the time is right and the funds are there.

👩🏼 Hi, let me introduce myself to those of you who are new to this channel. I'm Rebecca - my origins are a bit mixed, hence my often muddled-up words in English. Born in Denmark to a Canadian mum and a Danish dad. At the tender age of 21, I decided on a whim to move to Florence and see what Italy might have in store for me. I never left, and now I juggle 4 languages and feel like I can't speak ...

We saw the renovation works on the famous TV program of Discovery Channel yesterday: Renovation was done by one of our most favorite American Couple...they are very famous and always appears on that TV Program with their works. Complimenti for your Campo Sasso Chianti House .wWe really liked it. Thanks and Enjoy your beautiful Country House.. TOSCANA FELIX 1 😀😀😀
You've thought of everything in this beautiful home. It is breathtaking. All the different products you make - impressive!
What a beautiful house you made! Amazing job!
thank you for sharing your beautiful home! Your and Pierre's dedication to all things delicious is inspiring! Make sure you too get to relax in that fabulous bath! <3
What does "a little detached " mean
OMG!!! I am just now connecting the dots. We recently watched Fixer to Fabulous in Italy. Enjoyed that so much. Months later, I stumbled across your channel showing your neighbors house from sale, and I enjoyed those two episodes so I started watching your other videos. The name Campo Sasso sounded so familiar but I didn’t realize it was your farmhouse that the Marrs family renovated. lol 😂 Now it’s come full circle. My dream would be to go on one of your wine tours! Great videos!
Omg so glad to hear that! Yes, do come join us on a wine tour one day!
❤
Very expensive for such a tiny home. Beautiful view though.
It is, but a solid investment in a region that is very requested.
Thank you Rebecca has been a really pleasant experience!
I LOVE that house, and it is so lovely and a great price, but NOT for me, at my age and some health issues. The sound of that waterfall is just so soothing. Drinking a glass of wine as the sun was going down, relaxing at the end of the day, and listening to that waterfall would be heavenly.
I want to come back for another tour!
Looking forward to part 2
Absolutely magnificent!!!!!!
It made me tear at the beauty of the landscape. Wonderful location!
Lovely!
I love ❤your welcoming wine window🍷 And the Foodie people❤🧀🫒🥖
Thanks so much 💙
Another fabulous story Rebecca. Your property is so beautiful and oh the wine window ❤❤❤❤
This is so serene. Absolutely heaven ! I just found your YT channel and will be binging all day on the videos ✨
Beautiful lady
I know editing videos is a drag but the music is a bit too loud and overrides your audio ❤but a lovely video no e the less
Thanks for the tip - I’m learning as I go along 😅
Great video, Rebecca and Laura! Can’t wait to get the book!
It’s lovely - I’m sure you’ll like it George
maaaaa, the cheese!!! I could live in that cheese room! I've never met a French or Italian cheese I didn't love! Gnocchi con formaggio with tartufo sounds like heaven. Currently drooling
How much is it?
Read the previous comments ;)
Love This Home!!!❤❤❤
I can almost taste it!! My grandmother made gnocchi...but always looked like a 'hat' so to speak:) Thanks for sharing!!
This region is so charming and green. I just saw a similar home for sale in Abruzzo, though larger, newly renovated and nicely modernized, with also a large amount of acreage and amazing hilltop views, for $299 eu. Plus it is in a 7% flat tax region. The price differences in these regions is STARK.
You couldn’t be more spot on. Chianti comes with a certain price tag, but when you’re here you understand why…
That's absolutely beautiful I ❤️it. ❤❤
Imagine that Piazza empty... because the Italians are not birthing any children anymore.... And the Piazza is taken over by elderly people from foreign Western countries... BECAUSE they have something to spend during their pensiontime. Other than that.. There are no children. THAT my friends is caused by a progressive liberal mindset that thinks children are a waste to environmental issues and a predicament to feeling guilty about ("My child uses CO2") .... Get my point?! These lovely countries (Portugal, Spain, ITaly, Greece) are running empty because of poverty, young people are not getting any children because they can't afford it. And you are buying their houses. Full circle... Get it????!!!!!
Interesting point of view!
Wow! Beautiful property! The house, the pool, and the surroundings. Thank you for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
This house is amazing
Definitely want to visit Montalcino even more so now. Thank you both
Wow another rich, in-depth, beautifully lit episode of your life in Tuscany. Grazie mille. I sat in that bar in Montalcino in what was possibly the windiest day of the year in January. In a shop nearby I found the most beautiful linen tea towels with painted figs and pomegranates, wish I’d bought more as presents. I caught the bus as a way to get out of the weather that day. It’s a good bus ride on a rainy day, usually surrounded by school children. I also visited the fabulous Bagno Vignoni which has a gorgeous restaurant cafe hotel.
You were lucky to find some open shops in January 😉
Comes with a tin of fava beans.
Indeed 😜
E adesso devo ritornare a Montalcino! 💗 Grazie mille per un bel film.
Lovely house and so nicely landscaped. The trees do it for me.
Thank you so much!
fun! Thanks girls!
Thank you very much Rebecca for another fantastic, interesting, informative, and fun video! Laura, you are a wonderful guide, and really know your 'stuff'! Thank you Laura for sharing your knowledge with us! I'm new to your channel Rebecca, and have only come across you recently. Thank goodness! lol I'm really enjoying your relaxed and informative style of interview and discussion. 🙂
Thank you so much! 😊
Also many thanks from me!!
Molto interessante complimenti
So excited to see your notification this morning. Another great story thank you so much. ❤
Really good video and I enjoyed how naturally you spoke about the property.
Thank you!
Greve is beautiful but a bit pricy. This home is move-in ready for the right buyer, but it just needs a bit of freshening up.
Yes exactly - it had a really cozy feel to it and very private.
Fascinating
Excellent video! Love ths house! A fantastic Italian property with so much outdoor space! Beautfiul property! Would love to move back to my homeland, Italy! Thanks for sharing this priceless gem!
Wouldn’t blame you for wanting to go back
Thank you both for this sweet tour...what a magical, beautiful place! I can imagine my family here...children, Godchildren, grandchildren....and creating a garden of trees and flowers...and veggies! I love to garden, and so does the rest of the family......I saw that there is plenty of lavender and rosemary, two of my very favorite plants...Please, where can I find the price?
Our pleasure! You can contact Stefania or the realtor from the contacts in the description of this video.
I also wanted to say I am sorry people are rude to you...Staying positive is an easier route in life isn't it? xo
WOW, what a beautiful place shown by 2 beautiful women with such fluidity with lusciousness and grace popping right out of your camera! You are so charming Rebecca! I loved seeing the home with you and Marinella! I will rush right to see her website and inquire. While I might not be able to afford this one, we look and we see what is also for sale! This is so sweet. My dogs would love it. PLEASE do more real estate videos. You have an incredible eye and your steady cam work is super! I will look at your other videos and grazie! A presto!
Grazie 🥰
More properties please. Looking to buy!
would love to know if i can purchase

You can see all the details in the description ;)
What a beautiful home! Love it!
Wow, dreamy surroundings to me.
