I must say that the scenery is the essence of the Mediterranean, sundrenched and lush. As far as the story goes, it can be difficult to follow at times as it meanders to and from different story lines. Because of this I find it hard to get to know who the characters are and what they are all about. I still will continue to watch this series because it is peaceful albeit boring at times. Also, it takes me back to my time visiting Italy and falling in love.
