Welcome to Life at Bella Terra. I’m Mary and I am delighted you are here. Life at Bella Terra is about embracing what the present can bring by valuing what the past built. Here, from our historic property, I will share decorating, entertaining, gardening tips as well as my adventures in the kitchen.
