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.
Omg ...please please please don't plant bamboo it will take over your whole yard and damage the drains, walls and house .
Goodness, I've just come to the comments to say exactly the same thing. Bamboo is great, in Big pots, Not in the ground.
Bamboo is the cockroach of plants, get into everything, and impossible to kill.
No Bambooo!! It took over our yard in 4 years! Can never get all roots out again either!
No bamboo!!!
This was my initial reaction too, but then I looked up what was known about giant bamboo and it is not the same invasive species as regular bamboo. It’s root system grows in a clump, not in runner’s so he’s not as bad off as he would be with the other kind. Just my 2¢. 😊
Bamboo in containers ONLY! It’s almost impossible to eradicate once it gets loose & will strangle everything & damage every pipe, drain, wall, conduit…PLEASE don’t let this get loose! 😱
Yess is a huge mistake bamboo is very hard to containe
Yeah - the poor Newbys had a dreadful time eradicating it!
Bamboo is invasive you'll never get rid of it.
If you're going to move the tub, put it in front of the windows for the view! Wouldn't it be cool to sit in the tub and watch it snow in winter?
Sam. Be careful with the Bamboo. That's one of the most invasive plants around. Once it takes hold there's no getting rid of it . Also, work on some weed control around your beds. I'm afraid if you leave for a few days, you will lose all your hard work.
As a lifelong Gardner you will regret planting bamboo or ivy among many other invasive plants
Sam please 🙏 don’t go w diagonal bath design. Design wise maybe do straight & longways Parallel to shower wall OR pull it away frm wall more centered into the room like an island bath you can walk around. Your room looks big enough. That blue bath installed like it was never meant to ever budge. Keen to see your progress 😊
It just seems really crowded to put everything on one wall. The tub might go on the opposite side. It would be more plumbing, but maybe better traffic flow and presentation.
so glad that everyone agrees with me! DO NOT PLANT BAMBOO.
Yes planting bamboo is a nonononono
Please heed all the comments regarding the bamboo. It is impossibly invasive and will take over everything that you have planted or plan to plant. Also does not look like you will have enough room for a sink and toilet with the tub diagonal? What about putting it in a large shower or wet room with only glass panels and no low wall? This will save space that you seem to need to fit everything on the one wall.
I strongly agree with the suggestion to avoid using the diagonal positioning of the tub. I suggest you discuss this with Lyanne and other women who are experienced with cleaning bathrooms. Easy access to all areas is key to keeping bathroom spaces clean and fresh. Moving fixtures obviously increases cost and lengthens the time to a completed, functional bathroom. If cost and time is not an issue, I quite agree with another suggesting positioningʻ the tub in front of the window (if sitting in tub would afford pleasant views) or making it perpendicular to its former wall location which would allow less crowded spacing of the sink and toilet! I'm guessing you may be keeping the opposite wall open for placement of a vanity and needed storage. Also that would provide balance of visual and actual "weight" to the room which is currently and aesthetically lacking. Of course, these are just observations and considerations based on video views. Good luck in weighing out your best options. Also, Sam, if you feel you must bring bamboo into your landscape, follow the advice to keep it in containers. Otherwise, it will overtake & destroy everything above and below ground level! Wishing you everything good and beautiful going forward! Your work ethic and commitment to your project is inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey!
yup careful with the bamboo. it will take over the garden
A bath with a 'view from my window' would be so much cooler.
I echo the caution about bamboo stated by so many. The roots grow horizontally and are impossible to eradicate. POT Containers ONLY for bamboo!
You may want to strim / weed whack down all the non garden areas so the weeds don’t seed in the air all over your beautiful new beds!
I think planting bamboo is a huge mistake, you will spend years trying to get rid of it and it will cause so much damage x
I had some and they are very invasive. It took me for ever to get them out
Cela dépend de la variété : cespiteux: non traçant ou pas ..sinon vous posez une barrière en plastique à 80cm enterrée et légèrement incliné vers l extérieur.j en ai depuis 20ans dans mon jardin et avec ces 2 méthodes,c est géré !
That would have to be the worst decision to plant bamboo.That stuff is invasive and once it gets a hold you won’t get rid of it.Get rid of it.
I'll jump on the band wagon and echo what has already been said...No to letting the bamboo out to play and also putting things diagonally is very difficult to make work. Usually there is wasted space as a result. Cheers.
Have you considered moving the bathtub to the other side of the room? That way, you could make the shower larger and put a lovely two-sink vanity between the toilet and shower. This would utilize all of the space in the room instead of jamming everything onto one wall...might make the room look less crowded. The down side to this idea is the extra plumbing work for the bath, though.
As so many people already said: don't put bamboo in the garden. It don't fit to Italy. Clear the yard and plan what fits to a Italian garden. Olivtrees come strait to my mind. Maybe some fruitbushes and some roses.
In the bathroom I would leave the tub out. Or do you often take bathes ? A nice big walk in shower will do it.
Take care 🍀
Another comment. Keep the tub parallel to the shower wall. The wasted space you describe would then be used for the sink and toilet. The flow would be so much better. I just got through designing a new bath and closet. Talk about planning.
There are many varieties of Bamboo, not all are invasive. I'm sure Sam is aware as to which varieties are non invasive.
Your garden has come along really well Sam. Loving it.
While I agree with you about different varieties of bamboo it still requires maintenance. I had a non-invasive type of bamboo in my yard when I lived in London and our gardener still hated it.
I just read the outcry in the comments about bamboo. I have to agree. The stuff spreads like mad and the leaves are everywhere. I had various types of bamboo in Thailand for a few years, and I was allergic to half of them. Now there is just one bad bamboo in a far corner and its trunks are cut down once a year to make perches and decorations for the giant parrot aviary.
‼️BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE BAMBOO‼️
Dig a plastic border of at least 30 cm deep in the ground around the bamboo, otherwise you will lose control over it and it WILL become an invasive species‼️
Years ago i had a lot of problems with the big bamboe, this one went up to 10 meters and you almost could see them grow, i'm not kidding, you saw the difference in just a couple of hours and this was at my previous house, but thanks to a neighbor three doors down who planted them, my cobblestone backyard was completely damaged and it's almost impossible to get rid of!
Je bent gewaarschuwd! 😉👍🏻✌🏼
I bought my house with some bamboo in the garden, I had to rent a digger to get it out, wasn't possible to get it out by hand. Not all sorts of bamboo are as invasive as mine, there all a pain in the .... to get rit off😅. If you plant them in your garden, make sure the roots can't get out of the places where you want them to grow by putting metal or plastic borders deep in the ground! Een gewaarschuwd mens telt voor 2😉. Keep up the good work.
That bamboo runs shoots and is VERY invasive … non native as well … 😢
I’m so glad you are repurposing the pretty blue tub for your garden. My grandmother had water lilies in hers and gold fish…miss her still for such reasons😊
No to bamboo my mother in law planted it and ive been at it for over 30 yrs to get rid of it. If you do put steel sheets at least two feet down so the roots dont take over. Your garden is coming in nicely. From😁👍💖💜❤ seattle, wa USA
No bamboo!
It will take over your yard.
If you plant Bamboo, please put it in a container so you can control the roots and growth. 🤓
Sam, Moso bamboo is invasive. You may want to research this before planting...
Oh my.....PLEASE don't put the bathtub in diagonally. It really is better where the blue one was or better yet, get a tub that is free standing that doesn't require building a base around it. How important is it to you to have a bathtub? Why not a larger walk-in shower with seating? You can put the bathtub in another bathroom.
darn I wish I thought of this earlier - RENT A ROTO-TILLER to turn the soil!!!!
You will regret planting bamboo it is extremely invasive and You cannot kill it once it starts! Bad JUJU IDEA. 😮
Hooray it’s out!! Now you can use your bath as a little pond in the garden.
This may be way off base, but have you considered building walls in the bathroom and ron all your plumbing and electrical behind the new walls. The room is very large and this can save you so much time. You are so hard working and I admire your dedication. Great job in your progress.
Sam, keep the bamboo in containers, if you don't bamboo will take over its is the most invasive plants. The bathroom fixtures are beautiful, the tub is very pretty.Those fiberglass / plastic tubs are hard to keep clean.
At some point, you're either going to have to buy more land for all your plants or you're going to end up building hydroponic green houses to plant everything in tiers. 😁 how do you feel about making the roof terrace into a roof garden instead? You'd definitely have to re-enforce the roof, but it would make a cool garden?!? Ok, maybe not! Lol!
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
Sam your turning into a real greenthumb your villa will be amazing. Never need water with that water course next to you.😊 Oh get a second opinion from your dad regarding your bathroom design.yes?
That bath surround was obviously installed using a strong cement mix !!!
What about a stand alone bathtub with little legs? That way, you don't have to build around it, and you will save space. That bathrub looks very big and placed diagonally as you did. It looks awkward.
Why don't you draw the dimensions in the computer and then take it to a shop that sells bathrooms, so you can get a professional opinion and that way everything will fit perfectly.
You can also buy a small steam machine and place it inside your shower. All sides, up to the ceiling, must be closed off, and it has a timer. The steam starts as you take a bath, which is the best experience. You will love it and it doesn't take any space.
That’s blue tub would be great outside sunk in the ground for outdoor cooling tub this summer.
😱 omg! Absolutely not. Bamboo is for ever. Do not plant bamboo😢
agree. 😱 ❗
If you don't use it as a hot tub, consider using it as a raised garden bed for flowers or herbs.
As a professional interior designer, please don’t place the bath at an angle. It might feel cool but it I think. The bath is much better suited by one of the windows. If you share some dimensions of the bathroom I (or any other followers) can give you some layout suggestions!
i cannot express how bad of an idea it is to plant bamboo. it is NOT a good plant to have around your house. do not plant bamboo
Não existe hj em dia jma banheira tão bem colocada e torneiras que se mantém Com este aspecto... hoje em dia é tudo dake!!
I'm retired living in Los Angeles... I just watched your videos of VO from start to present. I wish I was there to give you a hand. Love love love wht you're doing. such a handsome man too
This bathtub is so beautiful I’m glad you plan on up cycling it 🙂 me too with my first garden I couldn’t stop buying more and more seeds, I don’t know what is it about seeds they really are addictive!
A freestanding diagonal bath in a larger room would be fab but your bath needs to be built in a hob and will be quite clunky when built. I think put the bath along the opposite wall starting at the window and then have shower to left of where the bath was, with Vanity, then toilet along the old bath wall. I am a designer and I love that you are thinking outside the box but the practicality of cleaning a small triangular space will be a problem. Plus you want a serene, spacious bathroom I would imagine. P.S. We have friends in Tuscany with an out of control bamboo forest on their land and it takes most of their time to battle it!
I just saw all the comments about the bamboo, I have a new use for the bathtub for you.
Why have a separate shower at all? Put that nice long tub along the front wall and direct the shower into it, with one of those Midcentury metal loops to hang the shower curtain on. Lots of room then!
Daai blou bad is baie lekker! Baie mooi blou.
Yeah don't angle the tub in your bathroom.
I was going to say the same about bamboo but you are a keen garden it will be lovely when it all comes together but it's good to get things in and growing now 👍
Det går ju bra för Trädgårdsmästarna 🥳
The tub would be nice even by the window ...sun stars moon that sort of thing🌟✨🌞🌝
definitely! the reason I am not putting it there is because we don't have enough space to open the door to the room next to it.
@@Villa_Oliva oooh yay okay that makes perfect sense now....i forgot about the door UGH....gosh lol....☺☺☺☺☺you're right
Sounds like things are going to be tight in the bathroom. Hoping it will all work out :)
Get yourself informed about the bamboo ot can take over very fast it is called running bamboo look into clumping bamboo does not get huge bit still lovely 😊
I could almost smell the berries. One of the greatest smelling fruit trees is guava, you can smell them from the other side of your property when they have fruit.👍
BAMBOO YOU WILL REGRET THIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
Please, no diagonal bathtub and no bamboo! Please, avoid these mistakes!
I agree with everyone about the bamboo. On the bathroom layout I love the idea of the two person shower. but if you want the tub next to it use a straight line so the rest of the bathroom is crowded into the corner. It will make the room seem larger and then hopefully you could have a cabinet for storage under the sink. A two person sink area would be really nice for everyday use. Especially after that shower together. But there may not be room. Because I am guessing putting the toilet on the other side of the room would require a lot of work.
I meant not crowded
What about diagonal the other way and pulled more to the center of room. Also the shower would look nice larger, (right now it looks like it's cramped) and who said it has to have right angles. Figure out the bathtub and fill the corner space with large shower. And please do not plant bamboo in your garden. You would create a nightmare. It would look great in container in your bathroom :)
....or the bathtub under the window. And I should had listened to the whole episode before commenting, lol
Like your added 'that would be interesting' about the two person shower lol, I bet it would.😂
As always - wishing you success!
Oh, gelbe Himmbeere habe ich noch nicht gesehen.
Im übrigen staune ich, wieviel Pflanzen und Sträucher und Bäume Du gesetzt hast. Dabei kommt mir das dazu gehörige Land gar nicht so groß vor. Vielleicht kannst Du es gelegentlich mal zeigen aus der Vogelperspektive, wieviel Land dazugehört.
Oh Applaus! Hab ich nicht gedacht, dass es möglich war, die Wanne allein rauszuheben .
Good size room
Under the window
Whatever you decide, it will be spectacular. Are you opting out of the bidet? Soooo handy, just sayin 😊
Sam as many have said DO NOT plant bamboo EXCEPT in a contained space with deep sides or pots! Do you have a plan for the trees their growth/size and impact on sunlight for your plantings?
Also the way you were carrying those tubs around DUDE you must have muscles of steel!!!!!😮😮😮💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤙🤘🤙🤘🤙🤘😎🌟✨
Haha wouldn't say that, but it's definitely a good workout :)
i see you have Baobab seeds, are they ok to be grown in the mountains of Italy, and the tree grows to a huge size and is normally located in the warm savannah regions of Africa, plus its root systems could be problem for water canal and and stream, so you would have plant to not to close to your water systems. If you look into Permaculture that has great ideas for land management, there are RUclips videos on it.
I will add my voice to Annette's. Whatever you do NOT plant bamboo. It will take over your garden, uproot your paths, destroy your walls and invade your house. It will also cause all your neighbours to hate you, because it will not stop at your borders!! ANGER'!!!
Bonjour Sam,
J'adore le charme de cette villa et tout le travail colossal que vous effectuez dans ce bel endroit trop longtemps abandonné .
Pour la salle de bains, j'aurais éventuellement imaginé quelque chose de différent, bien qu'il me manque beaucoup d'éléments importants pour pouvoir juger de la faisabilité économique et pratique : Mon idée serait de mettre, comme certains l'ont suggéré, la baignoire parallèle devant la fenêtre, et placer un grand plan vasque/lavabo à la place des anciens bidet et WC , ce qui permettrait de faire un retour de plan de travail dans l'angle jusqu'à la baignoire, et positionner au dessus quelques étagères d'angles . Les évacuations et arrivées d'eau se cacheront facilement ainsi .
La douche tout de suite après la porte d'entrée est une bonne idée, tout en long et pour 2 personnes est un excellent choix 😏😉et peut-être camoufler le wc derrière , ce qui permet aussi de passer les canalisations tout le long du mur qui les accueillent en créant un coffrage discret à prolonger jusqu'au plan vasque/lavabo . J'aime beaucoup l'idée de la baignoire perpendiculaire ou en travers, mais ça demanderait + d'espace, sauf peut-être à déplacer le wc dans une autre pièce, ce qui au final serait pratique ....
Bon courage pour la suite des travaux .
I don't know what's more impressive ... the work you have done so far or your ability to squat low and lean your upper body against your thighs 😲
Put on the bamboo all in a row will quiet down on some of your automobile noise like a bamboo fence
Первый урожай желтой малины , начало положено.!!!😊😊
You look like a little boy playing with toys 😊😊
Bamboo is Beautiful and Magical BUT it needs a forest space all to itself it will shoot a runner root 5 miles away ....there is no way to control bamboo
Your bathroom will be Amazing!!!!!!
Are you able to extend the plumbing for the sink/s and tub? That way later you would have room to add a little sauana to the shower area if you wanted maybe.......
Oh boy, more pipes to trace, you'd think that it was the same pipe?😕😂
VOCE ESTA RETIRANDO UMA BANHEIRA DE AÇO, PRA COLOCAR UMA DE POLIURETANO, PLASTICO?

Even clumping bamboo will spread … it is its nature. Is it native to your area? If no, there must be native plants that will meet your needs. Also, is it wise to plant trees next to the canal? Their roots will seek out the water source, and having seen all the effort you’ve devoted so far to getting tree roots out of stone walls … and will be spending rebuilding stone walls …
aaannddd one more thing … as a gardener who plants plants because he loves plants, and being the poster boy for “How NOT to Plan a Garden,” I wish I’d planned my garden much better than I happened to do. More planning and would have saved me a lot of time, and a lot of plants, and a lot of space. I grew up with huge vegetable and fruit gardens, and that’s going to be a wonderful thing. Who’s going to be canning and freezing all those fruits and vegetables? (Just curious … maybe you live in a year-round part of Italy…)
please read up on how to manage bamboo. It's a plant that can very easily get away from you and your neighbors might be crabby if it gets on to their property.
Moso bamboo can be controlled by mowing or weed whacking new shoots in the spring but you do have to keep on top of it. It is a big and beautiful bamboo unlike the creeping invasive grassy type of bamboo. None of my business by I’m curious to know why your wife isn’t in the videos any more - did she go back to the Netherlands?
Hermoso bañó que lástima desarmarlo .
Ok you can
if the tub goes in front of the window, as some people suggest, don't you have to redo the plumbing?
I was just going to write you to not plant bamboo but I see you've already been warned 😂 It will take over. It's very difficult to contain.
Какое красивое место 😍
YES TO BAMBOO IF YOU NEVER WANT TO GET RID OF IT! 😂😂😂😂
An African Boab tree? How big is your block again? I can't imagine you have the room for it or many more trees. Obviously got that wrong You are doing well with the gardening and renovations so far. Best wishes.
QUANDO FOR RETIRAR REVESTIMENTO, AQUEÇA ,
COM AQUELES AQUECEDORES PROFISSIONAIS.( aqueles de fazer creme brulee😂 esqueci o nome!!😂😂, so que os profissional!😂).ELES SE SOLTAM TUDO
I have never seen a bathtub cement blocked before ,Is that the norm there ?
I have never seen a yellow raspberry!
Put the tub in front of windows
Your idea of planting bamboo needs serious reconsideration, love your perspective, usually, but I believe you would benefit from a landscape professional.
Please consider getting some design help with placement of that beautiful tub. Diagonal placement of a permanent fixture is not advisable.please look into Feng Shui-
(in Chinese thought) a system of laws considered to govern spatial arrangement and orientation in relation to the flow of energy (qi), and whose favorable or unfavorable effects are taken into account when siting and designing buildings, and spaces. Wishing for nothing but success for you Daniel, please take as constructive criticism or advice.❤️
A medium blue tub is rare in the USA!
Why are you trying to cram everything on one wall? Pipes need to move. Do you need a tub? How about just building out a really large shower?
I’m sorry that’s a stupid idea to have the bathtub diagonal in the bathroom and you leave a little short space for the shower aren’t you just have the bathtub come straight off the wall leaves more space for both sink toilet shower but your ideal not so smart
