A perfect MIX

The country home of Emilia Amodio and Tom Schroeder is the ideal blend of the bold, the beautiful and the calm and peaceful

Nestled within eight acres of leafy woodland gardens in the heart of the New Forest sits the stunning converted cottage of Emilia Amodio and Tom Schroeder. The couple, who have three young children, bought the home as a retreat from the bustle of London life. ‘Everyone is so busy these days and spending quality time with each other at weekends was a big motivation for finding this home,’ says Emilia. ‘We wanted a place to run away to at weekends – where our children could play freely outdoors.’
