Welcome to this Villa Oliva renovation summary video. In this long-form version of the renovation videos, I try to summarise work over a longer period and show you more of the work aspects of the renovation and less background, explanations and backstory.
Therefore, it might be hard to understand the project fully by only watching these summary videos. Luckily I've added a list of all the full videos at the bottom of this video description, so you can watch an episode of your choosing in more detail. or watch more than one, I am not stopping you.

My name is Sam and together with my girlfriend Lyanne, I am on a quest to restore the beauty of this old Italian villa from 1895. Join us as we have to let go of our Dutch habits to fit in in our Italian surroundings, were the word 'plan' gets redefined and our tastebuds are awakened.
The goal of this project is to show that with limited financial means and a lot of optimism we can resurrect the beauty of this abandoned villa in a green and sustainable way. But most of all learn from everything that we encounter and enjoy it whilst we're at it.

You should buy a small long handled sythe for the garden as it would save you a lot of work. You push it into the brush and pull at the base of the weeds and it cuts them to the ground then use it to pull the weeds out. It's invaluable for brambles also. I also saw that some of your tall weeds are very toxic, roots leaves and fruit so you have to wash your hands well each time. Good luck what a beautiful villa xo

A year already? I hadn't realised when I began watching your vlogs a couple of months ago. Still - a case of jobs well done. And seeing that volume of water again, I keep thinking self reliance in electricity. Just watched an Englishman build a water wheel for that purpose for another person. Learnt from it that you barely need much water to get plenty of electricity, most of the water in that case had to be diverted around a little bit, otherwise the wheel span far too fast. And the system had to be set to go as slow as possible, even when the water amount was reduced. That tells me you could have a small wheel, so the cost could be manageable. I mention it again because the power bills here are just continually increasing, so much so that many are battling to pay. Crazy. Never mind, you may have much better ideas. Best wishes to you both. You are having a go and will have a wonderful home after a lot of work. Well worthwhile.

My brilliant late son traveled the world during his short, very busy life. In, I think it was 2007, he, his sister and friends backpacked through mostly Northern Italy. At the time, I was here in rural Pa renovating a large loft apt on the top, 3rd floor of a 200yr old building on our main St. when they came for the Holiday that year, I was told about abandoned homes and villas they came across in Italy, France and Spain-and how cheap people were trying to sell them. They ran into a couple in Greece, from the UK, who were renovating a large Villa which had housed an extended family for many years, (CJ said it reminded him of many of the courtyard homes in rural China), and had turned it into…I forgot the name, but it was like a Hostel where mostly young people would stay for free for weeks or several months, in return, they contributed their skills to the renovation. The kids wished they’d had the time to do it. In the 80’s, me and friends were helping each other build our own homes and we learned skills I never thought I would need..almost 40yrs later, those skills came in very handy. Anyways, subscribed and looking forward to seeing the progress. I just wish my health was better so I could do something like this again! I understand you wouldn’t give an exact figure..but what is the range a villa of this size is now going for, as is?

It's hard for me to believe that behind all this thicket there is a villa preserved in perfect condition! I am an Urbex fan and I have seen destroyed, stolen, devastated and inhabited by homeless villas, castles, palaces and historic houses and what was left in them after all these guests, I have seen huge oak gates to castles chopped up, destroyed in order to get there, and here, even the windows are intact?! Congratulations, this beautiful villa with wonderful woodwork, tiles on the floors, shutters, everything is simply beautiful. The garden does not even resemble a garden, it is worth going there with a metal detector, maybe you will find some beautiful or antique objects, once abandoned and forgotten. Good luck and I look forward to seeing what happens next.

My friend first of all congratulations on the renovation of your villa. My name is Rob Rob King from the UK. I love watching these programs. I’m a little bit shocked that you haven’t got the tools yet are you you don’t want string strimmer you want a metal blade strimmer you want to chainsaw And then inside I noticed that you’ve cleaned up absolutely fantastic give it a good jet washing down you’ll see the difference like you’ve done with the floor. Also you’ve made a kitchen is at temporary that temporary island that you put in the kitchen without painting or is that later, please reply to me thank you, Rob

Hi Rob, I can imagine you're a bit shocked, this isn't your ordinary arsenal of tools. However, I have a good reason for using these tools. I think I explained in the first Q&A. In short, this way I get a nice workout in and feel more connected to the place. Lastly, it gives me time to think about what and how to do things. I appreciate you thinking along and commenting to make my process quicker and easier, thanks for that! The kitchen is temporary yes, we will definitely come back to the kitchen later. I try to reply to all the comments, don't worry. Thanks again!
