Information

Welcome to Villa Oliva, a renovation project of an abandoned historic villa in Piedmont, Italy. By the time I am uploading this, I am well into my third year. However, I always really wanted to make these summaries but never found the time to do it. Finally though, I have the first three seasons, summer, fall and winter of 2023 in a timelapse. Go to all the individual episodes to see more details. Leave any questions and remarks in the comments below where I will be able to read them.
Thank you to everyone who helped out in any way, shape or form during this period, you are making a dream come true.

My name is Sam and I am on a quest to restore the beauty of this old Italian villa from 1895. Join me as I have to let go of our Dutch habits to fit in in my Italian surroundings, where the word 'plan' gets redefined and my tastebuds are awakened.
The goal of this project is to show that with limited financial means and a lot of optimism I can resurrect the beauty of this abandoned villa in a green and sustainable way. But most of all learn from everything that I encounter and enjoy it whilst I'm at it.
