- Welcome to this Villa Oliva renovation summary video. In this long-form version of the renovation videos, I try to summarise work over a longer period and show you more of the work aspects of the renovation and less background, explanations and backstory.
Therefore, it might be hard to understand the project fully by only watching these summary videos. Luckily I've added a list of all the full videos at the bottom of this video description, so you can watch an episode of your choosing in more detail. or watch more than one, I am not stopping you.
For the people that are new to the channel, welcome, super glad to have you here! A quick introduction of the channel can be found here:

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.

What a great Dad you have!
Definitely keep the dumbwaiter chute for dirty laundry from the upper floor! You will soon be sick of carting stuff up and down stairs.😀
Same thoughts I had, use it as a laundry shoot
Grazie, grazie, grazie for restoring one of our old homes. Personally I would have found out where the local dump is and went directly there. Moving that stuff into the "shed" means doing a job twice and I don't think it's hygienic for you either. Your dad is so good!! Best of luck.
Yes, a trash dumpster
You’re most welcome. We couldn’t because we had some trouble organising the arrival of that dumpster. That’s why we had to do double the work. Thanks a lot!!
I love that your dad is lending a hand! What a sweet man!
Wow, the basement ceiling is absolutely gorgeous.
Yes The ceiling is nice . The house is in too bad condition considering it been abandoned
@@annbarns652 You mean 'not too bad'?
Right?!
What an amazing elevator you broke! (((( I would leave it there as a piece of art!
Watching back again I seemed to notice a lot more. I really think turning up with everything, including the kitchen sink, was a great idea to create a convenient base to get started. I doubt any videos could really show just how much debris and work it took to clear. 👍❤
Your dad is SO HANDY!
Love this part of a renovation- all the garbage is removed and you can start to sense what it will eventually feel like. Great job !
Could you use the kitchen elevator as a laundry shute? We have one and it’s handy not to take all our washing down the stairs. Liked seeing the extra footage in this collage.
I agree a laundry shute will be a great asset if the laundry is downstairs.
Wow. What a fantastic project. Congratulations. We look forward to watching your progress. Please consider wearing masks when dealing with these old places as well as animal droppings. It is very important for your health ❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Congratulations on achieving so much after all your hard work. I must say both you and Dan on “Escape to rural France” are my favourite channels. 🥂🍾👏👏👏
You and your Dad make a great team and are such hard, dedicated workers. You have performed an amazing transformation and the tantalising glimpses of the villa and garden are delicious. Can't wait to see more. Excellent video.😊
That's a wonderful old house. I can't wait to see it take shape. Just a suggestion, but it would be a lot easier for you if you had one of those industrial type vacuum cleaners for all that dust and spider webs.
Usually, when there are two Kitchens, the lower is for heavy cooking (roasting, baking and boiling) then the food goes to the upper kitchen where it is finished and put
into serving service before going into the dining room.
This is the fun part to watch. Mess cleared away, cobwebs gone and the fittings go in. Once you get it painted and windows all cleaned it will be a fabulous place. Wish I had as much energy as you do.
It's great watching all of your hard work. The villa is gradually being transformed from a dump to a potentially beautiful home. Well done you and your dad.
Your Dad is one awesome dude!!!
Wow i have found another "DAN"😁 A Cupla guys with their shirts off just Getting it Done! I look Forward to the End Result in a Year or Two! .... Very Nice Find☑☑
Every time you open a window the house is amazing.
The basement is greatly improved!
Just found this channel. Wow, what a beautiful home you have found. Yes, much to do, but it's so well worth it. You and your Dad are not scared of work and are going to finish off with a beautiful home. Well done. ❤❤
You two work so well together!! What a team! Thanks for sharing. If no one has told you today, you are officially awesome!!
Thank you so much for you kind words!
Awesome kitchen island, love the drawer system for any cabinets below counter height. Its the most efficient way of being able to use the storage space and having access to everything.👍
That dusty centipede carefully navigating its way among small heaps of debris is like a symbol of all your clearing efforts.
You could put a Fireman`s pole in the Dumb waiter.
(just for giggles) You have a beautiful dad and the
both of you have done a wonderful job.
hahaha yeah that'd be super cool. Thanks!!
Next summer, you are going to have that outdoor area looking amazing!
How exciting for you and your Dad to have this adventure together!!!!!
It really is!
your video channel is growing very quickly - great. No wonder, because you do good and hard work in this old and beautiful building and garden.
I have done several house clean outs - remodles. It was painful to watch you move the trash by hand to the wheelbarrow, haul it to a diff spot, dump on floor, thus make another pile of garbage...🤔 I use a 30 gal. plastic garbage can, put a large black heavy duty construction trash bag in the can, pick up the trash, put it in the can, fill bag, pull out bag, tie it shut, haul bag to the curb or a dumpster. repeat.. i only handle that crap once, where it is, then it goes out! Anyway, cool looking house, good luck to you & ur Dad! 😎
Thanks, good tip!
If you got rid of the tall vegetation around the grounds it would help heaps with a rodent problem
Both you and your Dad work hard to rid the villa of all the rubbish!
I’m new here & can’t believe how great the interior is, that garden is a recipe for continuous workouts, looking forward to watching your progress ! You’re lucky Dad is onboard.
In the US it's called a dumb waiter. To deliver food or other things from floor to floor. Used when they had servants
Another wonderful video. Would love to no the history of the place. It's just amazing what yall have done. Can't wait for more
Love the basement ceilings
What great work bench
Great job,guys..beautiful villa, congratulations Great sale
Noticed loads of tantalizing glimpses of the villa's many features.👍
When do we get a full tour inside the villa. I'd love to see the full layout
A lot of work, but very impressive.
I'm looking forward to seeing all that ivy outside the Villa façade, to see what it really looks like. Ivy tends to be very invasive with stone, it gets into the cracks and crevices and takes over, do you think you will have much to fix on the building, or on the contrary, will you leave the ivy on the walls?
I can't wait to see what your Villa will finally look like.😍👏👏👏👏
Your dad is awesome❤
Great job!
Awesome dad
You're living out a wonderful dream shared by many of us all over the world! God bless, protect & guide you! ALWAYS wear resperatory protection when working with mice or rat droppings. The dust from droppings carry HPS, Leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, plague, and typhus... some symptoms which you may not notice until later in life.❤️🙏
With all that dust and dirt flying around, you really should be wearing a mask and goggles. Is the older gentleman your father ?
My thoughts exactly
I agree. We should’ve. And yes he is :)
Yes! And also should be wearing tshirts,
@@Villa_Oliva in the US are areas where mice poop that causes Hanta virus that attacks the lungs and causes a huge percentage of death in those that get it. Use those masks and use their mitigation suggestions. www.idahopublichealth.com/testing/environmental/vectorbornediseases/Hantavirus-Brochure-CDC.pdf
I actually like the no t shirt look 😮🥰😉
Magnifique les voutes des caves en brique !!
The upper kitchen is also used during the day for Breakfast, lunch and Tea.
Interesting!
You're definitely getting your exercise in
love it
congrats , done with care and love
an amazing job you made it this house. so much fun to watch the duo. amazingand hard working man you both. keep up the good work!
Did you hold onto those bed frames? They could be really great for a guest room. Very vintage chic.
Great video 🎉
You are so positive all the time. 😊
trying to keep that up ;)
I loved all your work and your dad it was the best u tube I've soon yet😊😊😊😊
ahhw thanks!!
That wheel is a cool antique!
A. You guys really should be wearing at least SOME PPE’s, masks at the least! I believe Hanta virus spread by rodents has been found in Italy, to say nothing of the mold.
When I renovated the loft, we discovered asbestos and Black mold. Rather than drag the old carpet and junk through clean areas, we threw everything, including a very old recliner (1948 was on the tag), out the windows-3rd floor. It was quite a show here in my tiny town, but we didn’t have many other options. We were finally able to convince our next door neighbors to allow us to put a large garbage bin in their parking lot for just a few days. We didn’t get much sleep, and it wasn’t cheap-but it was worth EVERY penny!
you are right, we should! that sound like an adventure wow haha!
Thank you for letting us see inside.
Our pleasure!
Ciao Sam, un travail de titan avec ton papa, on découvre encore et encore des pièces, il y en a combien ? Vous êtes très courageux.pour ce nettoyage énorme.
Mes parents hôteliers restaurateurs avaient aussi un monte charge pour monter les plats, la cuisine était au sous-sol.
Hello from Arizona. New subscriber here, it's a pleasure to watch you and your father work together. The building is wonderful, I think the first look at the window doors, and I fell down the rabbit hole that is Villa Oliva. Wishing you both a Happy New Year, may it bring you both success in every project you undertake, good health and sturdy bones and muscles, happiness and prosperity.
May I have one request, a neighbor planted a container in their drive. It's unsightly, I'm over looking at the signs, numbers, rust etc. Could you please refinish & paint your container for your neighborhood? Maybe a young artist might want to use it for a garden green mural. Thank You Ha, I don't know my neighbor well enough to ask them myself.
Thanks that's amazing to hear! hope you like the journey.
yeah i agree, just have decided to prioritise the preservation of the villa first. But you're right, it's not such a beautiful asset to the property at this point.
Good luck for your ambitious project 🤞👍
I just subscribed I’m excited to see your progress in the months to come. I know. It will be beautiful.
great to have you here! welcome! I hope so :)
Siete tutti veramente bravissimi e laboriosi, alla fine avrete una bellissima villa di gran valore monetario ed emozionale. 👍😃✌️🥰💐
Thank you so much!
Good job.
Houd aub de tegels. Ben nog maar met 2e video bezig maar dir tegels. ❤❤❤❤❤
You have done a lot of clearing. Like the idea of wine cellar there.
I think you should restore the elevator, seems easier to fix up the metal mechanism you have and install them back than hooking up a new (and probably less awesome) elevator in its place
Well done... Greetings from Poland, from the same makeover...
Thanks, that's quite the project you've got there as well. Looks cool! best of luck to you both!
Awesome vids! You guys do great work; it's going to be lovely! BTW, we need these vids so PLEASE wear masks! 🤩
Thanks a lot! You’re so right, we should wear them more often, thanks!
Cool with the dumb waiter! That's something to restore! It's for food.
Maravilla de villa me encantaría conservar tal como fue en su epoca
Sim, muito linda será uma pena se eles destruírem as coisas antigas que ainda estão bem conservadas, o chão por exemplo .
That,to me, seemed to be a happy busy home.
Love your property, will be exciting to watch your progress. I do have one request. My twelve year old granddaughter loves to watch these restoration shows with me, I wish that you could edit out the swear words🥰.
You could use the dumb waiter as a laundry chute. No carrying clothes up and down the steps.
haha fun idea. I will think about it!
woooow gracia!!!!!!!!
My wife and I, this is our dream!
that's great to hear, I think it is amazing opportunity and experience as well! glad you like it
Might be a good idea to test the water before drinking.
Did that, but good thinking!
Happy to hear that you won’t be getting sick😀
Your vines on the house are causing deterioration of the walls and bricks !
Food hatch would come in hardly here as a lift to bedroom (disabled) or heavy stuff going upstairs like your materials for decorating etc.
The small steel door looks like a way of cleaning the chimneys.
definitely! good one
Great job Sam , but I think in the previous comment about some decent tools as the comment suggests. Best of luck .
Thanks!
Sink or work space in front of window. Don’t forget about the kitchen triangle for efficiency.
sorry didn't quite get that, what do you mean with triangle of efficiency.
I would put in a new dumb waiter to take luggage and smaller things up and down
Please wear masks when dealing with rodent dirt - you can get some nasty diseases. You are doing an amazing job.
you're right, we should wear them more often. Thanks!
Look forward to watching the progress. Probably should have worn mask on some of that cleaning! A cat will take care of mice problem 😮
that's great to hear! yeah we should've, i agree.
Restore the basement flooring to the original- much more character than the new modern tiles!
agree! only downside is that they've probably destroyed a good part of it while putting in the radiators
You could use whatever original tile you have left as a decorative border for the floor or , depending on how much you have, use it as the main and use a more recent, complimentary tile as the border, or vice versa!
Also, you can send things to the upper floors that are too heavy to carry.
Leuk te horen dat jullie ook op’zn brabant vloeken kunnen als its tegen zit
Give the walls a coat watered down PVA and then a coat of cheap emulsion it will keep the dust down.
Good idea, I’ve been thinking about that as well, thanks!
You should adopt a cat or two, that will save you a lot of trouble and give you smiles ❤
A dumbwaiter can be a wonderful part of a multi-story home.
definitely, it adds so much charm. we are definitely are going to keep it
An air compressor would be good for blowing out dust/dirt.
I've just subscribed. Love your home.
I'm Italian . Good luck with all your hard work.I'm finding the music very annoying though.😢
welcome! glad to have you here! sorry to hear that, it will get better towards the newer videos though :)
your doing a fantastic ,but it seem your making the job of doing the garden look so much hard work, try getting a petrol strimmer ,you will whizz threw it in no time ,good luck ,i'll keep watching your progress
Thanks! and you're right, I would be easier, but this way I don't have to go to the gym or work out any more ;). Thanks again!
❤
Did you keep the old kitchen sink? Some people really like those.
I am enjoying watching your hard work and the progress on your awesome renovation. House has some really cool architectural features- like the arched ceilings!! One issue I am experiencing- some of the music- example @ 45:04 that flip flop flip flop? /Sponge Bob Sponge Bob?..or whatever that "voice" is saying- or not saying is so irritating and distracting (to me at least). Just some better music would go a long way- and there are loads of free music sources to pick from that I think would benefit. Just my 2 cents- no big deal overall A+. Thanks! Great work!
Thanks, it's so hard to pick music everyone likes. However, I switched genre and think I've found something, implemented in the latest videos. Let me know if you like it
@@Villa_Oliva Sorry I'm such a cranky old thing, lol!! Honestly, everything else is wonderful!
No worries, thank you!
Gosh, I have no idea!
Be careful with ticks so much vegetation is probably full of it. Use protective clothing mask etc God bless you guys!
Good one, thanks for your concern!
I have to agree, looks like everything is going to the creek and I don’t think in any world that is acceptable. Please tell us what your plan for toilet sewage is. Cheryl from MN.
Hi Cheryl, for now we have a chemical toilet. The design for a septic system will follow later
