Congrats to you on this new, beautiful 18th century Villa, and I wish you and your family and loved ones all the best in your new journey to ITALY. 🎉❤ that's Amore😅
Also a Canadian who just started watching your renno of Villa Olivia. Lots of hard work and your Dad is a super guy. Nice to see father and son working together on a project.
We are wishing you the very best on your new endeavour ! YOu'll see that on YT you will get many suggestions, and a lot of advice!! LOL!!! My husband and I (from Canada) are looking forward to following you on this amazing adventure! Auguri!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am happy to hear that you enjoy this adventure! I’ll try to filter out the advice that I can use ;). Happy to have you!
Ok, I’m late to the party, just came across your channel by accident. Allot to catch up on. I love it when good people like yourselves take on these stunning decaying properties , keeping , renovating it to its original authentic self while adding some well placed, tasteful modernisation. Alway impressed how Dutch people make the English language sound so beautiful too. Us brits could learn allot. Wishing you all success. 🎉
I just stumbled on you channel and I can’t wait to see how you turn this villa into a beautiful place to live,. Can you tell me if you’ve made a video on what the whole villa looks like from top to bottom ? Looking forward to more videos ,good luck from Canada 🇨🇦
You and me both, I also can’t wait to see how the villa will turn out. I have not yet made a video on the whole villa. I want to introduce you to the whole villa step by step, like chapters in a book. But I’ll make sure you get to see every bit of the villa Carmen!
If that Acacia tree is Robinia Pseudoacacia which is commonly found lining roads here in the Netherlands then it's called Black Locust in english. It sure looks like it to me but i'm no botanist.
Congratulations on your Villa purchase, I look forward to following you on the journey of renovating this handsome Villa which when complete will be much admired.
I’ve been watching French chateau renovation videos & the YT algorithm recommended your channel & so far I have only watched the intro video & half of this one. It was a lot of fun seeing you & your father hack your way to the front door, lol. Because the “yard” was so overgrown, I really expected the interior to be a total wreck as well. I was pleasantly surprised to see what good condition the kitchen, at least, is in (the vaulted ceilings are fabulous!). Looking forward to watching this place take shape to your specifications & visions. Good luck!
Hi Sam, just stumbled upon your video and your villa is absolutely gorgeous and specially the doors😍😍😍!!! Love your intentions for the villa👍🏼 Best wishes to you on a beautiful journey. I’m catching up on all your videos and will definitely follow your journey. Stay safe and stay healthy 👍🏼 Oh !!!! Forgot to mention the gorgeous ceilings 😍😍😍love it!!!
Congratulazioni! That man tall weeds have orange roots that go very deep and until you do not get them out they will come back. I am fighting them in my own garden in northern Italy for ages. Good luck for your project!
I do have them laying around, I was just so excited to start working that I forget to put them on, like every day. But I will start to use them, thanks for the heads up.
Just found your channel and now catching up on you videos! Can't wait to watch your progress 🙂We're renovating a 300 year old farmhouse in Scotland and trying to do everything ourselves. Your project looks amazing!
Hi. Did you view the inside of this magnificent home at all prior to buying it. Unless there is another entrance, I can't imagine you did. Boy, are you starting from scratch. Going by the kitchen alone, it is beautifully built and will be a joy to live in. Look forward to watching your progress. Best wishes from Australia
Hi Shirley, I did actually manage to sneak in for a quick peak. We surely are, but now we can build it just how we like it. Thank you, super glad to hear that you're enjoying it. Welcome to the adventure!
Fun new channel! I’m glad to find it. Another channel I also enjoy that is renovating in Piemonte is Stories from the Cascina. Good luck, I look forward to following.
I have just discovered your channel and am anticipating your journey. The house looks like it's in reasonably good condition, I look forward to discovering you villa with you. I'm also an avid follower of Martjin Doolaard and his homestead renovations.
I've just found your channel, and I'm looking forward to following your progress. The mystery tree with thorns is "acacia" in English too, just pronounced slightly differently.
Parabéns pelo vídeo, parabéns pela iniciativa e parabéns pelo projeto. Vocês ganharam um novo fã, onde ficarei ansioso por mais videos como este. Só não esqueça de habilitar a legenda pois não falo inglês e muito menos holandês. Abraços desde o Brasil.
Thank you so much! Glad to have you here! I think automatically generated subtitles are enabled. If not, let me know so I can look into it. Thanks again and welcome!
Enjoy enjoy take your time if it becomes too much take a break walk away and then go back and get it on! Everybody will ask how did you pay and the others thing will cost so please keep that in mind
I really should, it's just hard sometimes to take a step back when you're so excited to get things done. but it really does help to take a step back and I will, eventually. When those questions come, I might do a Q&A or something, we'll see. Thanks!
Thanks Wil! It will definitely take quite some time, but we will keep you updated every week. We’ve got so many ideas for this place, but we’ll show them one by one. Glad you enjoy the adventure, welcome!

Awesome work, Great Job. Look forward to see how it all comes out.
The ceilings are amazing! The previous owners did some very impressive work, or at least I'm assuming it was their work. What fun you will have!

did you the house without seeing the inside first? And the price would be interesting
I have seen the inside of the house before I bought it yes. I will make a video on the financial side in the future.
you will get very tired if you use the spade to do the clearing, ask for una zappa
I should get one of those yeah, you're right. noted
Hi Sam, this villa is going to rock! Its beautiful! One question, why did it take 18 months to get the keys? Cheers mate, all the best
Italian bureaucracy 😇
👍
👌🏽
How on earth did you get inside the villa to view it with estate agent? Will be eaycjing your progtess eith great interest from Valencia.
Yeah that was such a jungle, it’s a little less in winter though, so that helped :). That’s great, super glad you like it! Welcome!
Other guy looks familiar
Was that house for sale in a real estate agency ?? You bought it on photos without entering ?
min 0:23 that's where I grew up!
Beautiful area!
How much was this beauty?….😊
