01:10 Our BIGGEST mistake
06:06 How we solved it
10:05 What is a BIDET?
📖 Our Story:
We bought this stone house in Italy during the pandemic in 2020. The house was a ruin and we saved everything we could, unfortunately that meant only four stone and clay walls! The back wall, against the terrain, was close to collapse; the roof beams were eaten and basically reduced to dust; the inside separation walls were easily taken down and the whole project turned into a heavy renovation/rebuild.
Follow our journey as we turn this old stone house into a beautiful home 😊.

Bidet instructional video.
Fantastic! So many people have not understood or realise the practicality of this device. I suspect this will go viral….hopefully so🙏
You have not made any mistakes!
You have a breathtaking abode that has been designed, constructed and finished with love and thought. Be very proud❤️
Thank you so much! The video hasn't gone viral yet unfortunately 😄
Very instructional. Americans dont talk like that. Italians do. Thank you mavi for yelling it like it is.
Been living in Italy for the last 20 years (sono un Australiano) and all I can say is Bidet all the way! For anyone who doesn’t have one or don’t understand then I am truly sorry for you..
I am American and bought a kit off Amazon to add bidet to our toilet
Yes, I think many people like thoes.
I always wonder why a bidet is without a seat like a toilet 😅. So cold to sit on it. Or maybe I used it in the wrong way when I am in a hotel? 😂
Thank you for so gently teaching the rest of us about the bidet. As for the color of the bathroom, it's beautiful. Very soft and soothing. Bravo!
thank you 😉
You are welcome.
Am also 100% in favour of the bidet return ! Hygienic, ecologically sound vs using half a roll of paper in worse case… you just need to have the space for it. So glad the waterproofing issue got solved without impacting the fabulous look of the bathroom. Just a small eco-friendly advice regarding your beautiful fireplace / stove : try to light it upside down : bigger logs at the bottom, then thinner ones, and kindling on top. No paper but just a small wood ships on top to ignite the whole. You will see it works wonder : it smokes less, keeps your front door cleaner. And finally when it’s all over and the window is cold, use a paper cloth, wet it gently, pick some white ashes and rub the whole against the glass…. It dissolves any brownish deposit in seconds.😊 congratulations on your beautiful and cosy home ! Best regards, Pierre
Thank you for the tip!!! 🤍
I am originally from Spain and I actually continue seeing bidets everywhere
I first saw and used a bidet in Paris when I was there as a young woman. I thought it was ingenious. However, as I lived in the US for most of my life (I am now 76 and was born in the UK), I learned how to maintain intimate hygiene in other ways. Needless to say, I had an entire drawer full of washcloths that could only be used one time before laundry haha. I moved to Italy over a decade ago and I don't know how people can live without a bidet. I use it in many ways. Also, my younger friends, mothers of small children, use the bidet to teach their children to wash their hands after using the toilet, or to wash their hands before eating. For those who are interested in getting a bidet (and yes you can buy them in the US) make sure it's installed next to the toilet and not across the room. Thank you for bringing this topic up as the Americans I know get very embarrassed if the topic is mentioned and say things like "it was used only for prostitutes, I'm not a prostitute" or my favorite "you mean they don't use toilet paper?" OMG! haha.
🩷right!! So useful also with small children 🩷 thank you for your story and thank you for watching us!
The Bidet is a superb add on to any bathroom. The discussion was superb
My favorite video of MAVI. No bidets here in the U.S. but I almost installed one after my stay in Salerno last year. Maddi, you should have been paid by a bidet company for your demonstration and explanation. The BEST I have ever seen, actually the only one I have ever seen. But it was so funny and you were blushing which made it so cute, entertaining, and educational. Thank you for teaching the rest of us. Loved the music as always.
Yes you should have been paid Maddy. The demonstration was excellent. No need to blush.
Grazie Maddi! That explanation was very sensibile and sweet at the same time. Being an Italian you didn't have to convince me of course!! A bidet is one of the few really essential objects/equipments in life.
One thing I would like to ask. What is the name of the product you applied to the walls and floor to make them waterproof? Thank you!
@@rossellaruggeri9575 it is listed at the beginning of the video. Maybe you can read it in the transcript
@@nerther7625 Bidets are easy to add.They take up very little room and you can jump off from your sink lines so you can have hot water (not too hot). My boyfriend is a journeyman so he can do plumbing, electrical and all sorts of things! Bidets make you feel clean without always having the time to get in the shower. I see more people are installing bidets in new builds but it's not rocket science either.
Yes there are bidets here in U.S.
I wish I had a bidet. Having to clean over the toilet is much more difficult. Lucky you.
Congratulations you both have done an outstanding job, looks beautiful. However, Caillou deserves recognition for keeping a rigorous quality control.
Will do!! Although she’s receiving plenty of price/biscuit every day 🙈
As an American, with no history of bidets but having become interested in them, I totally appreciate the explanation! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!! 🩷
After my first holiday in Italy I wanted a bidet in my further house. As my husband and I renovated our bathroom after 30 years the guy from the sanitary shop tried to suggest not to have a new bidet again!
Unthinkable! We have only one sink in our bathroom, because we use the bathroom separately, but a bidet is a must!
😂🩷
Can't belive it's necessary to teach people what is and how to use a bidet. But thank you for doing that!
You won't believe how many comments we receive about it!
Not everyone might be aware of them. Depending on where they live in the world. There are no wrong questions in these vlog communities when learning.
Assolutamente pro bidet! Oggetto indispensabile in bagno!
🥰
Bidet tutta la vita !🥰
Our house in Germany has been fitted with another bidet. The interior designer recommended a comfort wc with an integrated water jet and dryer, but we find the bidet more practical and hygienic. I fully agree with your comments about a bidet.
👏💕
I am a Norwegian living in Spain, I have no tradition with the bidet from Norway. Here in Spain there are bidets in both bathrooms, the house is around 20. I like their style, nice surfaces.
The bidet needs to make a comeback. We have one of the Japanese style bidet seats and it’s essential in our American home. We were introduced to it through my Korean sister in law. Excellent explanation of its use and benefits! I won’t be without one in my home again.
🩷🩷🙏🏼
I live in Canada, have never used a bidet, but am investigating toilet seats that have them integrated. I think such an awesome invention.
It is! 💫
En todas las casas en que he vivido en España, siempre ha habido un bidé en cada baño. Ducharse está muy bien, pero, a lo sumo, lo haces una o dos veces al día (dependiendo del calor o de lo que sudes), pero, para mí, el uso del bidé es indispensable (o muy conveniente) hacerlo varias veces al día, siempre que uses el inodoro o tengas necesidad de una limpieza específica de tus zonas íntimas sin necesidad de desnudarte por entero para darte una ducha.
In all the houses I have lived in in Spain, there has always been a bidet in each bathroom. Showering is very good, but, at most, you do it once or twice a day (depending on the heat or how much you sweat), but, for me, using the bidet is essential (or very convenient) to do it several times a day whenever you use the toilet or need specific cleaning of your intimate areas without having to undress completely to take a shower.
🙏🏼💫
I am Italian, i live in Germany and i miss a BIDET too!
Da Italiano e vivendo in Germania da quasi 30 anni una delle cose piu´ piacevoli del rientro per le vacanze e´ sapere di avere il Bidet! Si puo´ essere felici anche con poco! E voi 2 siete in gambissima!
🙈ci credo!!
Grazie mille 🥰
Dalla vostra parte … w il bidè e 👎le salviettine che intasano pattumiere e scarichi …. Acqua , acqua e… acqua 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I live in USA and have a heated bidet seat on my toilet. I absolutely love it. Thank you for telling everyone about it!
🌸🥰✨
I was born in England and moved to Italy when I was 20. I love my bidet and miss it so much when I go on holiday to England.
Would love to have a video tour of the plants you have on the slope in front of the house .
You have a beautiful home. ❤
I live in the USA. I love the earthy pink color in your bathroom and have watched many techniques in your building restoration and products with great interest. The hemp blocks were new to me.
The bidet is an everyday thing in my house and has been for 25 years. It wasn’t common at all when we built our home and I have had to explain how and why we have it. You did a very good job explaining both the plaster and sealant as well as the bidet. Thank you so much.😂
Thank you so much for watching it! We’re happy to know that you love our videos and natural building materials 🩷
Sul bidet parole sante!!! Condividiamo in pieno.
Ciao complimenti per il lavoro realizzato e buon proseguimento. Ciao
Grazie mille 🩷🙏🏼💫
We have watched you learn SO MANY restoring procedures as the project developed. It is clear that you have not chosen ceramic tiles for the shower area. In the future you will encounter the problem of mold. Removing it will also remove some of the waterproof coating. Both of you should be justifiably proud of your accomplishments. The Black Wolfe is proud of you and loves your home.
Bravissima. 10 e lode per la tua dotta e esaustiva spiegazione sul bidet che per me e' un segno distintivo di civilta'!!! Ho visto una ristrutturazione nel sud Italia: 5 bagni e un solo bidet...in ITALIA!!!😂😂😂
I was raised in Brazil and a bidet was always present. I wish they had them everywhere. I love the bathroom color! You guys did an awesome job.
Muito obrigada 🩷 thank you very much
I recently installed a bidet that fits on my regular toilet. I love it! So clean!
🩷✨
Fantastica spiegazione! Noi sicuramente tifiamo per il bidet, espressione di civiltà.
Grazie 🥹💕
Hallo, wir haben ein Bidet, das war schon installiert als wir 2003 das Haus gekauft haben. Wir sind sehr glücklich damit und benutzen es täglich mehrmals. Viele wundern sich darüber wenn wir erklären wie praktisch das ist. Tolles Statement für das Bidet. Allerdings haben wir in den vielen Urlauben in Italien auch in den Hotels nicht gesehen, Schade.Und tolle Arbeit die ihr in bei Renovierung geleistet habt. Viel Glück im neuen Zuhause. Liebe Grüße aus Heidelberg.
Thank you very much ✨and happy to know your story about the bidet!! 💕
Aquí en Uruguay usamos Bidet por nuestra herencia italiano. Cuando la guerra hemos tenido mucha inmigración italiana y ha quedado el bidet como tantas otras costumbres. Cada casa aquí, lo tiene y lo utiliza. Les ha quedado hermosa su casa. Saludos desde Montevideo Uruguay 🇺🇾
Muy interesante! Creo que sea igual en Argentina! 😊
Thank you, what an excellent and informative video. We always had a bidet where we lived in hot and humid South Africa. Essential for intimate hygiene. My mother first encountered bidets on a ship at the end of WW2 when she returned to SA from England. All the English women used the bidet to wash their babies toweling diapers!!
I wish we had these in American homes, especially as I have gotten older. Thank you for explaining this mystery facility in an easily understandable and frank manner!
Thank YOU for watching it! 💫
We live in the USA/NY and wouldn't live in a house without a bidet! We loved your tutorial on how to use a bidet. Siete molto carino.
🩷thank you🩷
Brava!!
Hai dato un'ottima spiegazione sull'uso del bidet!!!
Speriamo che altri popoli europei e non solo prendano l'abitudine di lavarsi più spesso!!😊
🙏🏼
Well done for explaining the way a bidet is used. You did it very well. 😊. Personally I think they are fantastic! Wish they were more common in Europe.
Thank you 🧡🧡
I'd love a bidet like that. I got an attachment for the toilet several years ago and can't believe I ever lived without it.
US here. I would LOVE to have a bidet. They don't even know what they are here. So sad. They make such a difference. Thank you for sharing.
I've heard in the news, and I'm Italian that's how important it is to us lol, that the sales of bidets in the United States are rising, so hopefully you will not have to wait too much
@XMarkxyz I'm looking at kits that attach to an existing toilet. Not the same, but it's a start.
I HIGHLY recommend a Toto washlet seat attachment. We got one about ten years ago. It was a revelation. The most tricky bit is making sure you have a power outlet close enough to the toilet.
US too here. We put kits (from the brand Tushy) on all our toilets. It’s indeed not the same, but it’s still life changing. I now hate staying at hotels etcetera.
We’ve known since Crocodile Dundee part 1!
I second the tushee
In these days, I would lways prefer something like the AquaClean from Geberit over an old style bidet as it combines the function of Toilette and Bidet in one housing. Yes its more expensive, but it is great to have.
Admire your work…Beautiful ❤regards from Tokyo 😊
I Poland,for over 30 years,every newly built house has had a bidet.Living with a bidet is comfortable 😀.I love Italians and your beautiful country.
👏👏
I knew this materials in the bathroom will cause you trouble. Wait till next winter. I bet you'll get cracks between floor and walls due to the different materials and their reactions to temperatur changes.
That bidet lesson was helpful. I knew it from several holidays in Italy and I know it's mostly for the intimacy use. But I always used it for the feet too thinking it's not really made for that. My wife almost got mad on me doing that. And now a big mystery is solved 🤣
🤣🤍
I vote for having a bidet. The bathroom looks lovely and I love your desire for ecological sustainability. Live and learn your solution to the problem is admirable. Looking forward to seeing how you finish out and utilize the spaces inside and out. You have property with much potential!
Thank you so much 🧡
Amazing. Good talk. Spot on
I find that the small shower next to the toilet is more practical for use as you can direct the water upwards and it is also space saving. Your bathroom is just gorgeous!
Thank you!! 🌸
I LOVE IT that you normalized mistakes as a learning tool and the bidet as a typical accompaniment to a bathroom! Brava!!! 🙌🙏💃🏻💞
🩷thank you
I wouldn't say you made the mistake, you were wrongly instructed on how to set the bathroom walls. The turned out so nice. I even like the color. But to come from what it was in the beginning to this is super amazing. I think you and Vince has worked so hard to get it to this stage. Its beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you very much for your support 🩷🩷🩷
Love your no nonsense approach!
Thank you for the instructions 👍🐕🦺
As an Austrian, I became familiar with the use of a bidet in my parents' home more than 50 years ago, and also have one in each bathroom of my own house.
It's so practical, and there are now modern alternatives : toilets with built - in showers, as someone mentioned before in a posting .
🤍❤️🧡🩷
I anxiously await the decoration of the nursery😊
A loyal Texan here! I love my Bidet.
Great video! Thanks for posting this 😊
Thank YOU for watching it!
Thank you to show us also the difficult things in building and a solution for the problem.
Thank you for watching and for the support!!
Nicely explained!
Thanks!
Sono personalmente grato alla Francia e all'Italia per aver saputo cos'è un bidet. Perché questo è un enorme sollievo per le donne. Proprio le donne! L’uso del bidet da parte di un uomo migliora inoltre la salute della donna senza esporla ad infezioni batteriche. Saluti dalla Bielorussia, Minsk.
👏👏💕🩷
Thanks for sharing! I’m glad you found a solution. ❤ I love the colour of your bathroom.
Thank you for watching us 🩷
Oh dear, I am sorry about your problems with the bathroom coating. It is good that you have persevered and found a solution.
Thank you 😊
Sempre sia lodato il bidè!!
😂❤️
Buon pomeriggio!
Qui in Brasile, i bidet erano molto comuni nelle case e negli appartamenti costruiti fino agli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta. Io ho vissuto in una casa completata nel 1964, dove la mia famiglia lo usava (e avevamo una gatta che decise di usarlo come "lettiera", senza che noi la addestrassimo a farlo...), e da lì sono andata a vivere in un'altra completata nel 1970, che lo aveva anch'essa. Tuttavia, poiché le proprietà urbane sono diventate molto piccole, i bidet sono caduti in disuso e sono stati sostituiti da docce igieniche installate accanto ai servizi igienici. È un peccato, credo che siano molto meglio delle docce.
Bravo!
È un peccato, sì!!☹️ ma l’importante è che ognuno trovi una soluzione alternativa sufficientemente igienica ✨
Non ci posso credere! 😮Hai dovuto spiegare a che cosa serve il bidet, sono basita, ma come fanno gli altri in giro x il mondo a non usarlo e soprattutto a non sapere cos'è ! Comunque complimenti x la vostra tenacia lavorativa😅
Lo raccontavo alla mia nonna e anche lei era molto sorpresa del fatto che non si conoscesse… ma ogni paese ha le sue abitudini ed è bello confrontarsi a riguardo!! 🩷
As an American, we discovered bidets when we traveled throughout Italy, and now have on in our home in the US.
A nice souvenir to bring back home 😄
Love the little Dutch cabinet on the kitchen counter! When I visited Italy for the first time I really didn’t understand the use of the bidet, until I used it myself.. When I’m renovating my bathroom I’ll definitely install a bidet. Greetings from the Netherlands
Until this year the bidet was mandatory in every house in Portugal, it was written in the building rules/code. One bathroom with a bidet and a bathtub, every (new build?) had to have one.
👏👏
Cieszy mnie, że tak otwarcie i kulturalnie poruszyłaś ten temat. U mnie w Polsce również w nie każdym domu jest bidet. Trochę zdumiewa ludzi, gdy im mówię, że papierem toaletowym nie wycierasz się, tylko wcierasz resztki w skórę.
Pozdrowienia Karol
Maddi ciao....Vi seguo praticamente dall'inizio o quasi, da quando avete fatto a pezzi la casa sventrandola completamente ed ho gioito per ogni successo e patito per ogni intoppo/ incidente di percorso ma.....ma appunto gli incidenti di percorso accadono solo se si intraprende appunto un percorso e Voi, miei cari, lo avete fatto eccome, un grandissimo e bellissimo percorso! Quindi proprio come solo chi non fa niente non sbaglia mai Voi avete fatto tantissimo e molto molto bene ed un piccolo inciampo ci sta'!
Quindi animo ragazzi ed avanti così!
Per quanto riguarda il bidet beh, non posso che essere pienamente e completamente d'accordo con Te! Inoltre anche sul piano delle esperienze disastrose all'estero siamo in linea, sia in Spagna che in Francia che in Austria infatti è stato un vero e proprio delirio, per non parlare dell'Inghilterra, tutte Nazioni che 'dovrebbero' essere uno dei fiori all'occhiello dell'Occidente civilizzato ma con la storia del bidet di fatto perdono parecchi punti!
Ciao cari ragazzi, un abbraccio ed un in bocca al lupo per il proseguio!!!
Grazie mille per averci seguito fino a qui, partecipando a gioie e dolori della nostra ristrutturazione 🩷 Il supporto che riceviamo ci ha permesso di proseguire, un passetto alla volta!
Viva il bidet!! (E crepi!) ✨
Todo ha sido una maravilla! Me encanta
Muchas gracias 🩷
Nice reminder about the “bidet’. Younger, it was an essential part in your life. To wash our feet, clothes and like you said for women personal hygiene use. Thanks to help others to know about the importance of it. Buona domenica sera a entrambi 🫶🏽
And men’s personal hygiene as well 🙃🩷
Thank you for graciously explaining to us Americans what a bidet is for and how you use it. Well done as always!
I think many f us Americans already knew.
Im from Spain and Bidet!! Yes 100% full support 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
🩷✨🩷✨🩷
Awesome video. I am in Florida and i love my Bidet! 👍🏾
🩷🩷🩷
FINALMENTE!!! Descrizione impeccabile sull'uso del bidet. Grazie e ciao!
🤣🤍
Here in Brazil the bidet was widely used until the 80s (mainly in São Paulo where the largest immigration of Italians in the country occurred), then it simply disappeared and are very rare to find, probably only in old houses. From the 2000s that came the individual showers connected next to the toilet, but still many houses do not have it. Once again congratulations on the video and a kiss for the beautiful couple and a special for my dear "Lobinho" (Caiù)
Thanks for the Brazilian story!!
Muito obrigada também da parte da lobinha🩷🐺

Good morning from Vermont USA
where springtime has finally arrived and YES, there is green grass and the snow is mostly all melting away.
I loved this episode about the shower wall plaster finish for waterproofing.
The bidet tutorial was educational yet was unexpected before my morning coffee...LOL.
Thanks for adjusting the color settings on the plaster... love the color!
😂sorry for the tutorial during your coffee!! Thank you for your support 🩷
Ciao Mavi & Vince, come dite voi è un WC molto utile Vivo a Madrid - Spagna, in quasi tutte le case c'è il bidet, ho notato che negli edifici più moderni già escludono questo WC molto pratico. Ti auguro il meglio
❤love the colour of the bathroom. So glad you found a waterproofing solution. Thank you also for your presentation on your or the Bidet’s uses. In the “old days” back in the 1980’s, I worked in a hospital that installed bidets in the bathrooms of our post natal wards for new Mums convenience. They were well received once explained🙏🙂
Thank you 🩷
Yes, hospitals have been always one step ahead ✨
LOVE your bathroom, and thank you for showing us how to use the bidet.
Such a beautiful home and stunning setting, a slice of heaven 🙏🕊
Thank you very much 💙
W il bidet! 😂 Assurdo dover spiegare a cosa serva…
Completamente de acuerdo, el bidé es necesario en cada baño❤❤
🩷🙏🏼
Ho vissuto all’estero diverse volte per lavoro…. C’è poco da scherzare! Vivere senza bidet è stato scomodissimo…. Tuttavia nel mio periodo più lungo sono stata super fortunata perché l’appartamento che avevo preso in affitto era stato ristrutturato e la proprietaria essendo italiana ha fatto mettere il bidet nel bagno….mai senza!😊
Che fortuna!!! 🩷
I'm glad you were able to find a solution without totally replastering.
🙏🏼
🤔 The bathroom color looks beautiful! 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!!!
Bardzo ładnie.😊
I discovered bidet in Europe 2014 and I think they are a wonderful idea.
❤️
When in Italy, I always had to explain to people from the U.S. what a bidet was used for, the women were extremely embarrassed when I explained the necessities. We always referred to it as the Roman sock washer, it was extremely useful for washing socks and underwear in small quantities.
Why not? It can be useful also for that!! 🙃🤣🩷
Bidet is a perfect item that people gave up. Great mistake. My parents house had one. Our doesn't unfortunately. I really envy it. It is amazing that you have one. Bravi
💕thank you
Excelente explicação.
Muito obrigada 🩷🙏🏼
10:13 Viva il bidet 😍 Brava, fai bene a spiegare i gesti minimi di igiene
😂😅 magari torna utile!
@@ateliermavi Se fate uno short lo uso come attività didattica 😝
En Argentina se usa en todas las casas el bidet, excelente explicación de su uso. Saludos desde argentina.
I miss my videt, when I moved from Uruguay to Canada , I found out , there is no such thing as a videt, until now very few Italian houses will introduce it , but nobody else.
In spite of the years , I still miss it. !!!! It's a great invention!!!
It depends on which part of Canada you are speaking about. In Quebec and the eastern provinces they seem to be common. Out here on the West Coast, I have one and many of my friends who have built new homes now have them.
Super invention 💪🏼💕
Quando i dettagli sono veramente importanti.
My new(old) house did not have room in the bathroom for a bidet and a toilet, or a shower. It was used as a shower room. But we are adding a full bathroom in the house that will have a bidet and a toilet a shower and a bath. I am truly excited about this. Very interesting information regarding the water proofing in your bathroom. I am really sorry you were disappointed about the error. Could have happened to anyone. The tiny bath in my house is on suite to my Bedroom, so it will only have a sink and a toilet. I am looking forward to using some of the methods you have used in your home. I am really pleased with the look and charm of your beautiful home. Bravo Brava Love from Abruzzo, Italy
Great explanation - in Canada it is finally beginning to finding its place in the bathroom Thanks for making it real!
👏👏👏
I wish we had one, so practical and handy. Saves using the shower multiple times, should one need to.
You can find really easy to install toilet seat with a shower integrated, some of our friends in France already adopted it ☺️
Our house in Germany has also a Bidet. Its very good! We rejected the new comfort wc with water jet and hair dryer and build our new bathroom again with a bidet. I full agree with you.
👏🩷
Felicitaciones Colegas!!! Muy interesante intervención.
Muchas gracias!!
very good for the bidet
