Wow. In truth i had forgotten how it first used to look like with the original doorways & walls. I'd forgotten how much work went into the floors & walls too. So much work has gone into the stables & it looks really amazing. Your living quarters look clean, functional and comfortable & it must be a relief to have moved out of the apartment/ building site & onto your own land. Speaking of land, I'd also forgotten how much work you both put into clearing it: its phenomenal how quickly nature reclaims it again isn't it? I thoroughly enjoyed the recap. Thank you for posting 😊
Happy for you guys finally moving in. It's easy to forget how the building looked before you started. Massive change, great work, and beautiful outcome. Congrats guys.
Amazing! The amount of work and stamina and determination! When you need a rest come south to Puglia and visit my town, Alberobello, to study the houses, called trulli.
It's only when i saw from the beginning i realised how much you've achieved in a year. It's easy to forget how it looked . Well done, the stables look amazing now after all the hard work ❤ I can't wait for phase 2, watching with my feet up of course !! 😂 xx
Il time lapse è stato fantastico! Quando guardiamo i diversi episodi perdiamo l'enorme portata del lavoro che hai compiuto! Voi, Anna e vostro Padre avete realizzato tanto da soli. È una testimonianza di ciò che si può realizzare se si decide di farlo. Felicitazioni.
You guys have come a long ways, I am so happy that you guys will start with the villa now. I bet it's nice that you don't have to drive to work daily now that you moved in, congratulations. I will be following the process with you guys, it's beautiful that you are giving this property a second change. I know it will be beautiful.
It's good to remind us - and yourselves - how much progress you made! There were so many steps between cleanup/demolition and moving in the furniture for your temporary quarters. And except for work that needed to be done by skilled tradesmen you did so much of it yourselves!
Wow! How much you've accomplished already! It's easy to forget as time passes what the space looked like initially. I hope you're feeling a good deal of satisfaction from all you've got done.
Fantastic job you have done on the stable. Your villa has so many fabolous features and I can imagine how stunning it will look one day. Hälsningar från Anita i Sverige.
How exciting to finally have a habitable space of your own! It looks quite comfortable and modern, like a loft apartment. It was nice to look back at your progress. I had forgotten how much work you needed to do to get it where it is! Nicely done!
I had forgotten about all the heavy demolition work that had to be done! As well as all the vines, brambles and general overgrowth-but it looks like the soil is very rich, so if you have gardening plans, you should do well! I do love the intricate design of the Villa, the decorative patterns inside and out. It seems like someone may have been inspired by ancient Crete when I look at the exterior. You have done a great job so far, and I look forward to the rest! Keep going, good luck!
Thank you! Yes, the garden grows like nothing else, there is something in the soil in this area haha. I guess there is a reason why they grow so much of the italian vegetables here.
My first time here. It's so helpful to include a thumbnail of the floorplan or the site plan to indicate where you are working! Other vloggers, take note.
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you see it all in timelapse you can really appreciate the progress even more than from episode to episode. You have done a tremendous amount of work in this year's time! Amazing to see it coming together, as this was a vision at one point that is now a reality. Congratulations!! May the upcoming year be as or more productive for you and bring more swift success. Before you know it, you will be having that pool party you invited me to!😅🤣😂
I am in awe of your accomplishments. Your vision your dedication your work ethic your determination. You are definitely a trio on important and very impressive mission. Gods speed and blessings be with you always
Good grief, the sheer amount of hard work is admirable, well done! Just found your channel today, the villa looks amazing, I shall be following your progress eagerly from Kent in the UK. Thank you. Best wishes Christine x
Wow! What an accomplishment in one year! Dedication, hard graft and determination are certainly obvious with the end result. Thank you for sharing your journey, and I look forward to seeing what comes next for you both!
You've done so much work! Well done! I forgot how beautiful the villa is, all the stunning ceilings and floors. Will you keep, all or some? Thank you for the lovely vlog! Ciao!
You guys must be professional builders. I can’t believe all the major work you have done by yourself. Well done! Lots of work but you guys are going to enjoy a beautiful home all made with your bare hands. Congratulations! I enjoyed all your videos. They are just very inspirational and exited
Wow ! It’s so impressive to see how much work you have achieved! The dust and dirt ! Oh my gosh ! Great job guys ! Looking forward to the future transformations ! Cheers from Australia!
Wohnen 4 Hunde bei Euch ? Ja solch eine Villa Aroldi könnte mir auch gefallen. Die Stuckdecken sind auf den ersten, kurzen Blick ebenso schön wie die gegenwärtig vorhandenen Möbel. Ich wünsche Euch viele gute Ideen für die Sanierung bzw. Restaurierung dieser Villa und dass Ihr dort eine schöne Heimat findet.
Thank you! Well, for a short while we had 4 dogs, 2 were with us for a short moment while looking for a new home. We help stray dogs from the south of Italy and both our dogs are from there as well!
An incredible journey with precious memories made and a massive learning curve overcome. You both must have so much more confidence when it comes to the restoration of the villa itself, especially the major achievement of the roof and wall works. Of course the question that everybody is unwilling to ask is will it be year 2 or year 3 that you will get the delivery of the remaining parts of the glass wall to finally make the stables wind and water tight. You must both feel so much an improvement in quality of life having the ability to reside on site and not need to organise rentals and the associated travelling. We are all so honoured to be able to enjoy the journey with you.
I found your video on the youtube home page and fascinated by your restoration work and seeing a familiar landscape I investigated the location of the villa and was amazed to discover that you are in Gussola which is a handful of kilometres from where I live and grew up. Congratulations on the work! Maybe there will be a chance to meet up!
Hi, amazing work. Seeing it all the work put together really shows the changes - I thought the windows seemed low at the start - before you dug out the floor, Completely forgot about that. Looking forward to what comes next.
Congrats you two - so much hard work in such a short time. I've seen it before but your summary was perfect. Your Villa already looks so beautiful...can't wait to see it progress - love your dogs (esp the road lineup shot) and your amazing Father...PS the bird circling your drone shot at the end was pretty cool....
Great job, guys. looking great so far! Just an observation tho the under stairs bathroom had no ventilation from what i could see surely this would be a problem for you.
Thank you! It does have ventilation with an automated extractor fan which we havent yet fitted, but the opening etc for it is already there, it will be installed in the coming month or so.
Thank you! Not in the stables, it's just temporary and we will keep it white as long as it's living spaces, when we turn it into a gym that might change.
Bravi.... things are moving ahead! You'll finally have a livable space for the future cold, damp often foggy winter soon coming your way. The prosciuttos love it... but you might not, make sure you've got good heating! 😉
Very nice timelapse. I do have one question though. You placed a bathroom below the stairs, which is neat in my opinion. How do you get the moisture out of this space after a shower? Maybe i missed the part of you installting ventilation. Furthermore i would like to comment on my fellow german comments. They seam to be very rude. One possible reason might be, that building codes are strict in Germany and that we tend to believe that our codes are binding everywhere.
Haha don't worry about it, I think most rude comments are because people misunderstand or base whatever they think based upon having seen just that one video. Building codes are different everywhere and in Italy it's even different depending on regions. The bathroom underneat the staircase has an automatic ventilation fan, it's not yet installed though so it's just a hole in the wall at the moment so we are ventilating the bathroom manually by keeping the door open at the moment, but eventually we will install the fan. Thank you for watching!
In the stable no, we want to do a more industrial feel from the outside so wooden windows wouldn't have been the same. For the villa we have ordered wooden windows.
Thank you! It's basically just going to be a spare toilet in the future and we do not want to alter the externals of the stables changed just for a bathroom window. It just would not make sense to have a window there so that people in the garden can see whoever is in the toilet.
@@VillaAroldi i got the point. for my own taste i would build one in if it's possible. you need something for the air exchanging to prevent mod anyway. so why not bringing light inside as well? make it more comfortable. A windows don't have to be big or in the middle of the wall, if you care about for beeing seen from outside.
No it's really not a big deal for us, I guess it's also what you are used to I guess. I really don't have a problem with a bathroom without any natural light, as for the humidity in there we have an extractor fan so that should'nt be an issue. @@NebucadLaVey
Forget about the endeavour you are so lucky to have a father like that.
I truly am!

Thank you!
😂 Yes, it's a constant battle against the "garden"
Cool very cool classic
Thank you!
Can't wait to see what you do with the beautiful Villa, so many gorgeous details.
Thank you so much 😊 we cant wait either!
Unbelievable amount of work to get to be able to live in this building!!!
Haha, yes you are right!
Wow, you can both look back and see how much you have done. But now is the piece de resistance, and I for one can not wait 😊
Neither can we!
We are really looking forward to the next step.
Looking back, it has been an extraordinary accomplishment!
✨🌞✨
Thank you!
GOOD JOB .
Thank you Robert!
dedicated, talented, patient, inspiring....BRAVISSIMO/A!!....you guys!🙏🙏
Thank you, very far from talented though 😂 but we'll take it 😂
Happy for you guys finally moving in. It's easy to forget how the building looked before you started. Massive change, great work, and beautiful outcome. Congrats guys.
Yes! Thank you!
Amazing! The amount of work and stamina and determination! When you need a rest come south to Puglia and visit my town, Alberobello, to study the houses, called trulli.
Thank you!
Yes, we have been wanted to go for quite a while now but it's hard to find time to go there.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
The villa is beautiful before you've begun. I'm excited to see what unfolds as you rescue it! And put it back together.
Thank you!
It's only when i saw from the beginning i realised how much you've achieved in a year. It's easy to forget how it looked . Well done, the stables look amazing now after all the hard work ❤ I can't wait for phase 2, watching with my feet up of course !! 😂 xx
Thank you so much 😂
The Villa looks wonderful
Thank you!
Wow the stables look fantastic. Have watched from the beginning!! Well done. I am from South Africa,
Thank you Sharon!

I will be following the process with you guys, it's beautiful that you are giving this property a second change. I know it will be beautiful.
Thank you!
Yes, it's SO much better living on site than having to drive back n forth.
Wow I had forgotten how much stuff you cut, ripped out, and dug out, along with all the junk. It is amazing what you have done in a year.
Thank you Gordon!
That wheelbarrow is a back saver. Yall are amazing. Can do anything
Thank you!
Yes, it helped a lot! Anna still prefers going back and forth by hand though. 😂

Finally! Congrats!
Thank you, it's taken us some time 😂
Even though I’ve watched all videos to date it’s brilliant to see them all put together in a time lapse 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
Yes, the loyal followers have most likely seen it all already so for you guys its more of a re-cap.
@@VillaAroldi and a brilliant catch up it is Henrik amazing what you guys have done so far and can’t wait for phase 2 “The Villa Aroldi” 😎
Neither can we! We are eager to get going there. @@paulcavanagh3324

So glad you did this recap video. Helped me find your channel. Now I’m invested in what comes next.
Im glad to hear!
Welcome aboard!
Congratulations! I can't wait to see the Villa transformation. I hope you are able to preserve the painted walls somehow. The artwork is beautiful!
Thank you!
We will most likely have to paint them again, but we will preserve the colours as much as possible.
This is simply amazing!
Thank you for watching!
How exciting.. I fell in love with your villa the first day. I can't wait to see her restored❤.
Thank you! Neither can we!!
Well done, such a huge achievement. Looking forward to the next stage. 🌷

Looks great so far, a lot of work done. Love the attic space in the villa potential man-cave up there
Thank you!
Yes that would be an ideal space for a man-cave but I guess it's gonna have to be in the old stables 😂
I just found your channel. You all have done a wonderful job on renovating the barn. I can't wait to see the Villa restoration!

It does have ventilation with an automated extractor fan which we havent yet fitted, but the opening etc for it is already there, it will be installed in the coming month or so.
Bravo !
Grazie!
Have you considered sandblasting the paint off the iron gates? (They’re beautiful by the way )
Thank you!
Yes, that might be what we will do as it's very time consuming removing the paint otherwise.
Impressive 👍
Thank you!
Great progress! I can’t remember if you explained what happened to the large section of glass. Is there a shortage?
Thank you!
It has been delayed and delayed and now we have had it with him but all will be told soon. 😤
Your stables look very comfortable
I am hoping you will add some colour to the walls?
Would make your white furniture and tiles stand out better ❤
Thank you!
Not in the stables, it's just temporary and we will keep it white as long as it's living spaces, when we turn it into a gym that might change.
Wont be long till you can just spend the night..make a list of what needs to be done before and just work on that! The floor is gorgeous!
Thank you, it's just for now until we turn it into a gym.

what was the black thing you use in your wall
It's a membrane so that I get an air channel between the bricks and the insulation in case there would be any damp issues.
