Gorgeous! I wonder how difficult it would be to make an Italian vacation destination! I am definitely going to use this for something. I can't wait to see the vineyard.

Wonderful place! Does it exist in RL Alisar? It looks realistic and nicely decorated, a typical Tuscany country resort. I particularly love how you managed the cars parking and that beautiful barbeque-pool area. Thank you for sharing and crossed fingers for the contest! Kiss and ciao

Echo's magic, the vineyard, just like the apple tree, the lettuce and the red cabbage! You can harvest and sell/store the fruits into your fridge! I have all EPS and stuff packs but for people who do not have seasons these are the best! :lovestruc
Go and download the full set! as per the Italian vacation destination difficulties, I think it depends on what you look for! tell me, may be I have what you need/I can help.

thank you, Mehrlicht! yes it took me about two months! I built the buildings twice before this and I also learnt things about building and recolors and this took me time and attention too! 'hope your sims will appreciate!

hi, lamamma! yes, the inspiration comes from a real XVIII Tuscan farm, on Chianti hills, restored for touristic purposes. the complete lot would be much bigger than this, as I could not place the farm where the grape harvest takes place (I am bulding it in another lot, but think I will upload it only if it will be, for any reason, a bit interesting - lots of beautiful farms on mts2!) Building is all in yellow Tuscan stone, stairs too; as per the interiors are typical terracotta floors and stucco walls.
the cars parking was difficult and amusing together: I had that parking idea, that awful typical Italian parking way in backyards where sometimes cars are almost stuck and in a mess! you know, I could imagine in my mind sims curse against one another for leaving difficulties! I must say the game almost disappointed me..: no crashing, no high voices, no quarrels, 'only' car going away and back without any problems
thank you for the crossed-fingers

Amazing!
Truly a winning entry to beat in my book. So many were so large as well as sorry Unplayable.
You put the effort into it to make it spectacular, but playable at the same time.

Good Luck Got my vote hands down.

WOW, I have just returned form an educational trip to Tuscany - as a gastronomy student I visited a similad bio farm near San Gimignano -which turned up the best holiday ever. So I thought my simmies should have the same experience. This is absolutely geogeous...
