007 || Overgrown abandoned ruin in Italy; my home

Optimistic Dutch me is still not used to the Italian meaning of the word 'appointment', cute. But he will learn quickly, I'm sure. Other than that, nature has enjoyed our garden for more than a decade, so we kindly request her to share it by paving a path.

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.
