Theme day - City Exchange
Bienvenue Chez Isabella, en Provence, mon coin préféré...
OK, it's a big, fat lie! This is actually an "estate home", in our community in Naples.
But admit it, for a while there I had you believing you were in the South of France, n'est-ce pas?
(Oh, yeah, I can see you nodding your head ;-)

Wherever it is, it is gorgeous.
I'll play the knowledgeable French girl who wasn't even tricked for a second. But how beautiful anyway!
Isabella many thanks for your recent visit to my blog. Sorry I wasn't able to reciprocate, I have been away in Noumea for almost a week and just catching up today.
In the process forgot to enrol for the theme day but am participating anyway. Cheers!
It is gorgeous!! The photo also resembles the spanish style homes in Hollywood.
oh u did...but then i have never been to France.....so i was an easy victim..:)
Yap, I'm the one nodding my head.
Yes, it could be for example les Issambres, near Saint Tropez, but something indefinable in your shot tells me it's far away from France...Bonne journée, Isabella! Et tiens-moi au courant si tu ouvres une maison d'hôtes dans le Sud!
sorry but I thought the driveway was far too even and clean to be really in France -- it lacks patina as the antigues experts would say.
can't deny it looks nice though!
It is nice, doesn't matter where:)
I am celebrating my 100'th post Isabella, stop by....
well..whatever it is in France or your city.
this is a wonderful beautiful place.

Oh this is so beautiful! Thanks for giving me a slice of Provence, I mean Florida (or is it?)
I see your point. I do think there is a tad more sun in Naples than in Provence, but what do I know? I've never been to either place. :|
Oh my...and you also lie?
My Theme Day is of a city unto itself, with its own zip code, and a portrait of the "Peashooter" at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Hope you like flying.
wow! that's beautiful! What a blue sky... not a French one but it's ok ;)
Too, tidy. Not nearly charmingly ramshackle enough for France. ;-)
woooaa I believed you! It does indeed look like the South of France. This is so beautiful, it makes me want to go there right now :) Very nice posting.
Hi,
I am new in DP. Actually I didn't know today was the theme day. How can I learn these things beforehand?
Nice picture!
I wouldn't mind living in it.
I know Provence (even if not French) and I love it me too. Your photo really remind to Provence :-)
It does look very Mediterranean!
Could be France, though I would think the driveway is too large for European standards... but then, it's not like I have experience visiting the über-rich! :-)
France, Italy, or San Diego...I could live there! ;)
South of France or not I'd like to live there! Can we rent it for the summer? (as if...)
I nodded my head like one of the little dogs on the dash board of a car.
Isn't it interesting how nearly right it is yet it's all wrong. Absolutely the driveway. And the windows with a horizontal bar. I've never seen a window like that down here. But - having said that, it's lovely and there I was - Nicoise olives on the table, wine opened, ricotta and spinach tortellini prepared for dinner. Lemoncello after, of course - so where are you, Isabella? You are late!
I want to live there!!!
Check out my theme day photo,

I got in late to the list.
Have a great day!!!
That would be an amazingly beautiful home no matter where it is!
How much do they charge? I'll pay in alligators!
I can't believe I tricked the famous Tricker herself! You must just be playing blond, right? :-) Happy Theme Day! I love this house btw!
hate to admit it, i did nod :p hahah ... Good photo,too!
Oh yes...I can smell the lavendar and herbs of Provence from the kitchen of this lovely home.
It could be Provence, anyhow. It looks so beautiful!
Looks like one of the ones that was being built when i visited my parents down there. I had never seen such large houses being built and wondered what would happen when a hurricane hits. My parents pointed out that being on the gulf helps lessen them, but i still worry.
I was so very nearly taken in but the windows are a giveaway and it is just a touch too tidy...
But it's certainly lovely.

thats a wonderful picture....looks like a fantasy land!
Such a beautiful place! I'd like to mosey by there with my camera, but they probably have someone there that would come out and break my knuckles.
ohh yes.nodding a lot:)
great theme day choice! Love it.
