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.

Wow I can't believe how much the garden has grown, the height on those dahlias already. Great deep colour as well. Once the ginger gets going it's a really easy growers, I love it when they flower.👍
Die Blüte der Dahlie hat eine wunderschöne Farbe.
Respekt für die Hebung des langen Balkens ! Ich konnte es mir nicht vorstellen, dass man das alleine schafft.
I think a driveway up to the house would be so valuable! It seems there was one sometime before. Love your channel! ❤ you are a hard worker, and I think your house will be absolutely amazing when it is finished.
👍YESSS the driveway -- thank you valuable to the house 🏡 will be less stressful , saves lots of legwork 🇮🇹🇺🇸 cheers 👋
Saves on gym fees!
I would have fixed the driveway up to the house a long time age. You are making the work harder for yourself by not being able to drive to the front door.
It will be saves a lot of legwork, but he said he likes that. So then it is good right? 😊
He's stated his preference and that's fine. For me-It's a matter of efficiency. Time and effort saved that can be applied to projects in the Villa and the grounds. It's not like splurging on a tool for a one-time use; investing now into having a functioning driveway will facilitate everything into perpetuity. But I'm not restoring that house; Sam is.
Love the pictures of the flowers. Good job on the photography. Everything is growing beautifully.
Easy to put 2 nails or screws in the wood, 1 on either side, and tie from there, no fail lift. But you did it this time. you got lucky. 😊
I hope you get a fair sized, top door, freezer, to preserve al the great vegetables, so you can have them well into the winter!!!
I live in America and my ancestors mover here from Holland 4 generations ago. There is a saying I grew up with “ I’m a cheap Dutch man”.
Doing it the Amsterdam way?? No, you do it your way! As you recently wrote to someone: that's how I do it! Damn right!
The garden is growing fast, those zucchini will grow in one day, you have to keep your eye on them! :o) Lovely flowers too
My goodness, I watched it and I can't believe you managed to get that beam up through the window. That was amazing. Amazing. Your garden is wonderful, I love seeing it. You have worked so hard.
The “Amsterdam” way is quite clever...and strong!
Great job!
✨🌞✨
How about investing in an Amsterdam pully system and a strimmer!
I like the way you keep the work area clean and tidy!!
Congratulations, you did not buy any plants this time.
Those zucchini are going to get huge. Take out every other one. You’ll still have plenty of zucchinis.
Wow 😮the bathroom it’s going to look amazing, I’m sure your girlfriend is going to love it, because a girl always wants a gorgeous bathroom.
We all do things for a reason and I'm sure by the time you have finished this bathroom it will look amazing
Did it without breaking a window, congrats! 😁
You can grow Zucchini also by tying them to a stake and they don't take up anywhere near as much room.😊
Ánimo, es un proyecto interesante, vas avanzando , estoy deseando ver como queda el baño
You do it your way!
Lol. Hoisting a whole beam through a window alone is something I could see myself doing. When I want to get sh1t done, I GET SH1T DONE 😅 And I'm definitely not waiting around for anyone to help me. Even if it hurts.
Just heard about the flooding near you! I hope you are okay!
I`ve named your cart: Pinky Binkie. And you use it well and soooo many times. Always a pleasure to watch your vids.
Great job Sam. Whew...you had me worried about getting that beam up and through window...well done...keep at it..thanks for sharing😊 🇨🇦
Why aren't you able to drive or back up your main entrance driveway with lumber & supplies? ❤️🙏
He explained it a little in his last Q&A 😊
@@Myasa779 I recall them trying to use it during the winter when it was wet & overgrown... Unsure why it can't be mowed & used during dry weather. We had steep inclines on our ranches & gravel did the trick. ❤️🙏
@@LoireValleyChateaux he said he do not likes it when the car is next to the house. It's just not his preference to have a driveway and that is fine of course, it is his house and garden 😀
@@Myasa779 Drive or Back up to the Villa, unload your cargo, drive back down the hill & park.. Save time & effort. ❤️🙏
Sam, you are so lucky you're strong. Then again, you don't use any power tools for lifting ir digging. Only muscle power for you. Go for it while you can. From the plans it looks like you made the opening to the shower smaller and angled wider where the shower head will be at the other end. This will then angle the tub with a better veiw of the window. Nice adjustment. Now, what about that sun screen?😢❤❤❤
It is wonderfull to see right!😊 but one question; how you are so sure that he did not used sunscreen??
I trust that by speaking your thoughts to us viewers your reasoning becomes more evident and decisions more likely to be better. All very interesting whatever the case.
Why haven’t you made it so you can drive up your driveway to load/unload?
He explained it in his last Q&A 😊
Nice snag buddy. ❤🇨🇦
I'd suggest you start collecting zucchini recipes, because you are going to have a lot of them. Let a few of them get really big and stuff them with minced beef, cheese, mushrooms and diced onion. Yummy!
The Amsterdam way starts with one of those lovely pulleys attached to the top of the house! Lol! You're a brave man and a strong one! Hooray! You did it! Good luck!
❤❤ I can't wait to see it
Well done again
The path on the way up needs a touch with the mower.........wish I could think of a way to make it easier for you to get heavy things up that hill. Hurts to watch you struggle. A pulley system? Dan uses one to get heavy stuff like steel beams and joists to the top of his chateau why couldn't you do the same thing horizontally?🤔Looks like you could use a pulley in lots of ways. Move it around a bit and voila! l It lifts beams up to that bathroom window! And that pesky scaffolding could be pulled up to the bathroom window with the pulley instead of struggling up the stairs with it.
Because like Dan, he's stubborn!
Maybe he needs to wait until he has the same number of subscribers as Dan, then Sam can afford stuff too :o)
@@wendydee3007 Good point.
Магазины Леруа Мерлен отличные 👍👍👍!!!
je ne sais ^pas si ça se loue mais un petit treuil serait bien pratique pour monter les fournitures à venir, réflexion d'une flemmarde dans son fauteuil😂🤣
U can do it mate
Zucchini should be harvested when small! Big zucchini are tasteless marrows.
Hi Sam
Where are you going to send your black and grey waters from the new bathroom. Are you installing a septic system ? I don’t recall seeing any waste water pipework going in, just a ‘temporary’ clean water discharge into the stream. Cheers Ray (UK)
With such thick walls wouldn't it be more secure to set your wooden beam into the walls rather than rely on brackets screwed to the wall? Especially considering the weight of the boiler on the structure.
Well, that was tense.
😁🤙🤘😎🌞👍😊☺🌟✨💪🏼🌻🌼🌞☀🏆🍾🥂💯BRAVO!!! FANTASTIC!!!
Fix your driveway to make life easier for you
In his last Q&A he spoke about it. Mabye you can watch that one to know the answer 😀
💪🏼
Che peccato era un così’ spazioso e bel bagno. Mancava solo una super doccia. Ciao
Sam you work so hard; however, I’ve noticed for some time now that you are apt to begin a number of projects but move on to the next before you have completed the previous one. You spent quite a bit of time removing all of the pipes and radiators in the house with the intention of replacing them to conduct heat, electrical, etc. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe that you have done so before moving on to your garden. In the process of removing all of the pipes, you drilled some significant holes in the tile floors and the walls of your villa. Did I miss seeing you fix them? You worked so hard to plant all that you have, yet the land was never properly cleared and you appear to be struggling with maintaining the garden by weeding it regularly, cutting the grass and continuing to remove the volunteer trees, bramble, ivy that you had begun to remove piecemeal but never completed. The property remains overgrown. Have you given some thought as to what you will do with all of the produce your garden is producing? I don’t know what your plans are for removing the building debris that lies in piles in your backyard nor the pile of cut branches, weeds and the like. These are but a few examples. As I’ve said, you are such a hard worker but seem to be making more work for yourself with each project that you start but don’t complete properly and in it’s entirely. I’m cheering for you to make yourself a beautiful home but encourage you to do things well, to completion and with care. Ask for input and help when you don’t know how to proceed before investing in more materials without knowing if your plan is feasible. It is a lovely villa that can be transformed into something exceptionally beautiful. I continue to wish you the very best.
tell me you are Dutch without telling me you are Dutch. Man come on, you have plenty of space in that villa and are you really going to build a boiler room inside the bathroom which will make your bathroom like a dutch bathrooms small and claustrophobic.
Thought the same
Yeah????
He said in a previous video that he's only doing these 2 rooms, bedroom on-suite bathroom, ( for now) so it is livable for the winter.
Boiler in the bathroom is Spanish not dutch. Dutch houses have a central heating system with boiler combined usally in the attick
@@ramarkble101yes we do
Did you really make that rope-throw on the first try? 🤔
02.07.24, I heard about floorings in Italy.
Is everything OK for you?
VOCE PRECISA FAZER VIDEOS MAIS LONGOS!!❤
SEUS VOLGS, SAO MUINTO CURTINHOS, AI NAO AUMENTA INSCRITOS!!!!
E, TER LEGENDAS DE VARIAS LINGUAS!!
AFINAL, O PLANETA NAO E TODO BI LINGUE !!
Why are you screaming?
Have you been affected by the heavy rains in the last few days?
Je suis impressionnée de voir que tu n’as pas d’aide pour faire ces grosses installations pour la salle de bain.😮 ❤
It is never a good idea to use impregnated wood indoor, as it keep releases poisonous fumes. Instead, use untreated wood and paint it, so it can be used in a damp room.
Just an advise from a painter, as you obviously care about health. 😊
I passed through Amsterdam in 1970…… I never saw timber hauling through windows going on anywhere 🤔
No, people pick it up and walk up the stairs usually, but remember, this is a guy that doesn't want to fix the driveway because he likes the exercise of struggling up a hill with things, including putting on all others who come to help him.
@@user-nx5yg6vv3o ……. But he said on film that the timber was far too long to go around the corner on the stairs
Indeed he said that the beam was way too long for the stairs 😊
In Amsterdam the winches are at the top of the houses. They still use it when they are moving. Look at the pictures of Amsterdam houses.
EU TENHO A IMPRESSAO QUE: UMA ROÇADEIRA ELÉTRICA, MAIS POTENTE !! E, DEPOIS UM PRODUTO MATA_MATO, TONARIAM O SERVIÇO, DESTA RAMPA AI DE ENTRADA E GRANDE PARTE DO JARDIN E TERRENO DOS FUNDOS, MAIS FÁCEIS E DEFINITIVOS , PRA VOCE!!
ESTES ARBUSTOS INVADORES,
NUNCA TEEM FIM!!
E, DA UMA IDEIA, DE CASA ABANDONADA!!
ENFIM!!😮😮😮
Please tell me that you are NOT leaving the tiles and building on it. Don't do it.
Do you still have your girlfriend
Why have a shower and a bath...will be very cramped considering that you have soo much space in the house you could have nocked down a wall and made a "Grand Bathroom"...but who am to say
Some people are happy with a shower, like my husband; some, like me, prefer to soak in a tub but want a shower to rinse our hair. A big house like this, even if only two people live in it to begin with, should have facilities to offer all preferences!
Why don’t you clear the driveway with the amount of materials you need to deliver it’s about time!
Pick baby vegetables !
I think you are a hoarder. Beginning with the weeds on the property.
Yes....the weeds...you just have keep them in check. They grow faster than you are able to cut them...get a strimmer!!!. Save your horse-power for other jobs....
Hello, thank you for consistently posting videos of your hard work. Sadly you don’t seem to have achieved an enormous amount, though ai do understand the electrics and plumbing has been huge. You seem to want to vary the content and the end result is you start something but don’t complete. The garden is an example imo it’s a disaster and in today’s video you had to clear the drive way again to get the timber upto the house. You’ve left plastic bags with ginger just discarded it’s a fluke that it’s grown meantime the plastic is deteriorating and will cause yet another problem. Your reluctance to restore/improve the driveway is at best foolish and stubborn but really just plane nuts. You are clearly not afraid of hard physical work just focus on finishing something. The rooftop terrace could be a good start and a proper clearance of the garden. Sorry that I’ve been so negative as I really would like you to achieve a beautiful home.
