It’s not quite (Vermut Hour) here in Spain (usually around 1pm before lunch) but I like starting my night of tapas or pinchos with a vermouth to get my palate and tummy ready for the night ahead. A perfect aperitivo!

When you’re at for pinchos on Fridays, you can feel like you’re sipping with me - ask the staff which vermouth I’m loving lately!

We charge by the ounce so you can try a few!

Salud!

It’s time to sell… please share!

We LOVE this cute downtown house, but as we continue travelling the globe, we realized that we need to now let it go as we focus our time and investment elsewhere.

Located on Morris Street, it is a short walk to Bell Park and it will also be just down the street from the new Event Centre coming soon to the Downtown.

Set on the edge of a quiet neighbourhood, it is an ideal location for those that want to be close to the action but not IN it.

👉 For someone wanting to use it as an AirBnB/short-term rental, we can show you how to do it yourselves and have you renting it out in no time.

👉 For those FIRST TIME home buyers, this is an perfect starter home since almost EVERYTHING in it was replaced or upgraded within the last 5 years and since we furnished it for guests, all of the furnishings and decor are a negotiable option… which means it can be MOVE-IN READY with very little additional expense!

Feel free to share this with those who may be interested in a property like this and interested parties can send us a direct message for more information - or email us at stay@legacysuites.ca .

Looking to rent a home or apartment?

There is a big scam happening out there so please beware!

As many of you know, I have a small rental house here in Sudbury that we rent on AirBnB, VRBO and our own website.

It turns out that scammers have been taking the photos from AirBnB along with a handful of details (much of what they use is incorrect) and they are posting on various websites that it’s for long term rent.

Eager renters go through the application process and then are pressured to put a deposit down to hold the place - before they even have seen it in person.

By that time, the ad has been pulled down and the scammers disappear. The ad gets posted elsewhere and they start all over again.

A couple of notes to keep in mind…

1. The description that they are using do not match the property itself. (usually embellished.) They also changed our actual address to the more obscure “regional road” one so it would be less likely to turn up in a search.

2. They have supporting documents ready to go. One smart lady, asked to see proof that they were the owners of the place, and the scammers provided forged mortgage documents showing that they indeed owned the property.

3. It’s working as a scam because people
don’t always report it - usually out of embarrassment.

4. Here are some websites where the listing has appeared over the last few months (NOT saying the websites are to blame though!) :
- rew.ca
- padmapper.ca
- real estate.mitula.ca
-zumprentals.com
- QDB.ca

We are now in contact with local police about this so if you hear of anyone else in the Greater Sudbury who is going through the same thing and needs the contact info to report, send me a DM.

Hoping that the more everyone knows about the scam, the less people get taken by it - or even better, the scammers get caught and shut down for good.

Those that KNOW us understand our drive.

Work hard. Play hard.

Second last night of our holiday and we are finally telling each we are relaxing. (It takes is at least one week in before we unwind.)

… but then… we start talking about business.

Our bill was closed and bellies full.

We called our server back.

Another bottle! We have work to do! 😆

It was a number of years of planning and dreaming, and then a few strange years 😷 to muddle and pivot through … but today I can sit back and proudly watch my “dream-come-true in four walls” turn 5 years young. 🎂

While my Team and I have thanked our friends, families and clientele for their support recently , I wanted to stop and take a minute to personally thank every one of my staff who worked for us for ANY bit of time over the past five years.

You ALL have played such an important role in what we have become.

Your talents, grace and love of service has made me one proud Mama 😘

I am honoured that I have been able to work alongside you.

… and two more special mentions are in order…

Alex - our fearless Wine Director - not too many men can work alongside their workaholic Moms like you do every day and still laugh with her through it all. 😉

Your true passion for wine and this business sometimes takes my breath away.

I can only imagine where your wine-loving future will take you!

Thank you for being a true partner every day. ❤️

… and speaking of partner…

He’s rarely on socials - except beside me in photos - but I still want to publicly thank the love of my life, my favourite travel partner, my sounding board and the only one who can calm me by just a smile at the door each night.

There isn’t enough space on any social media post to shower Norm with all of the thank you’s needed for all of his support on this journey of mine.

I just hope one day I can return the favour and help make a dream come true for you as well.

Exhale. 😮‍💨

Now… onto the celebration!
Tonight I get to let my hair down and party with Norm and the team.

Wishing YOU an amazing weekend celebrating whatever dream YOU have accomplished or have underway.

Enjoy every step along your journey!

Finally had

Switching out my usual pre-dinner Negroni to a more local flavour - A Boulevardier.

Simply swap out the usual gin in the mix with bourbon!

A slightly sweeter but deeper flavour.

Now… onto dinner…
