Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 бер 2022
- In this video, we show the before and after of our Villa in Calabria Italy. We show photos of the villa before work started, when it was first purchased. Then, we show photos of the work, as it done on our villa, in beautiful Calabria, Italy, in the town of Scalea. We then take you through the villa, on a walking tour, showing the finished interiors, and the improvements made.
We are Michael and Justin. We are American expats, living now, full time, in beautiful Italy, in the region of Calabria, in wonderful Scalea.Michael is physically disabled, with mobility issues. And, we like to show in our videos, that anyone can dare to dream of life in Italy, regardless of mobility issues. Calabria is in Southern Italy, and is the place that we now happily call home.
We would like to thank you for taking the time to watch our channel. And, as always, we dare you to dream. Baci Baci!

A beautiful renovation for two beautiful people.. A true inspiration....
Hello darling Carole. You are adorable 🥰
I see a rolling island cart in the center of kitchen for extra work space. Bravo! Looks like a wonderful place to live!
Thank you for your input. It means the world. And thank you for watching.
Congratulations on the outstanding renovation. What awesome choices and the craftsmanship is so great. And of course the sharing of your stories and dining. SALUTÉ TUTTI 🇮🇹🥂🤝👏
Thanks so much Peter. We always look forward to hearing from you. We appreciate your continued viewership. 🤗
My mother in law cleans before the housekeepers come too!! I love it!🤣🤣🤣
Not just clean...Monica clean. Lol.
Wow. Just wow. The entire home is beautiful, inside and out. I loved each space, but for the sake of brevity I’ll only mention one small detail. I really love the blue color of the front door paired with the yellow walls and brown trim of the exterior. It seems to pull that beautiful sea and sky up onto your porch and into your home. Thank you for sharing about your families. Congratulations on hitting your 50th video so quickly. The war has distracted me from watching all your videos recently, but I’m so glad to have caught this one. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your kindness. We are glad that we can offer some sort of escape from the horrors going on in the world. Thank you for your words on the house. We, too, love the door. I (Michael) love blue. Thank you so much for watching. Baci Baci.
Justine and Michael this is beautiful and yes you definitely achieved that Italian seaside villa home! You both are such an inspiration to me! Really guys, congratulations!
Thanks Michelle. We appreciate your kindness and your taking time to kindly watch our channel. 💋
What a cute interior with the beautiful orange sofa with blue cushions, I like the armchairs too it gives a mediterranean ambiance to the room with the yellow walls...it is very cosy. I ve noticed that you both looks like your fathers and yess you have right Michael I think also our true family is the one who takes care of us with all her heart. It is a good thing that your father is a nice person and hope he will be able to come to see you soon. I am waiting for the next videos to discover Italy and the cooking videos for I like cooking too. Thank you for your funny and touching video, so humanly living. Keep on enjoying yourselves and Mille baci !
Marie, thank you so much for this very kind comment. We are thankful to have you as a viewer. We were so thrilled to see that you all wanted to know of our families. That made us smile. I (Michael) feel very fortunate to have come into contact with my father. I enjoy the relationship we have created. He is very kind. Thank you so much for watching!
Wow you guys have created a really beautiful place both inside and out … what a huge difference from where you started from! Congrats!!
Thanks, Pete. We are very happy here. We are also very pleased with how everything has turned out.
Amazing and beautiful transformation! Love your interior design, love the outdoor space too. Thank you for sharing some of your history and Michael’s about finding his Dad. Your Villa is absolutely perfect! The location is almost too good to be true! But the design of it is also just so, just right. I was wondering about your landscaping. The hedges are also just perfect and I know you are thinking about putting in a pool 👍, will you be hiring landscapers, and if so is this easy to find and common in Italy? As always love your beautiful videos and fun talks!! ❤️👏🎊
Kathy, thanks for watching. Actually, we have kept the landscapers that took care of the yard with the previous owner. The rate is about 600 euro per year. Thank you for all of your kind words on the villa. We consider ourselves very lucky to live here.
WOW! You guys are just AMAZING! I love the colors and the style! You definitely have to help me shop for Casa Cristina!!!!LOVELOVELOVE!
Thanks, Chris. We are so happy that you like the design choices. We would be happy to help. Thanks for watching, darling.
Wow! So proud of you guys, it looks amazing, congratulations on the villa renovation and 50 episodes!!! - Steve & Jayme Torres 🎊 🎉🎊🎉

Huge kisses Julie. Thanks so much for watching our channel and your adorable comments. 💋💋
I'm belatedly catching up on everything I missed. It all looks beautiful! Which one of you is the Bananarama fan? I must know.
Hi Caitlin. So glad you found our channel. Thanks for watching. Welcome to our UA-cam family. Justin (me) longtime Bananarama fan for 40 years now. 👍
HI Michael & Justin, Thank you for sharing with us your lovely villa’s before and after photos and video. I enjoyed seeing the transformation. You did a great job. We hope to meet you when we are next in SDT in May.
Jennifer, hello. And, thank you so much for your compliments on the renovation of our villa. IT truly was a labor of love. We put our heart and soul into each part of this place. Thanks for watching. It means the world to us. And, let us know when you are in Santa Domenica Talao. Ciao!
What a beautiful job you both did! Complimenti
Awww thanks Joann. You’re very sweet. Thanks for watching our channel dear. 🤗
the house is beautiful! congrats and enjoy it!
Thank you so very much.🥰 Thanks for watching. Baci Baci.
I love tipsy Michael and Justin!!
Lol. Then, stay tuned. Lol. Oops. Thanks for the comment, and for watching.
The house looks beautiful! Congratulations again!
Thanks so much Herminio. Very kind of you . Hugs 🤗
OMG! Just stunning! I hope to have a villa in Italy someday. Enjoy your kingdom!
Thanks so much fir watching our channel Elizabeth. We appreciate you and your time. We certainly hope one day you too get your dream Italian Villa. Huge hugs 🤗
Gorgeous… you guys did a great job with the renovation! Love it… so beautifully done! 💖👍💖
Thank you so much, Theresa. You are very sweet. And, we would like to thank you for watching our channel.
Congratulations on a job well done. Now just enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.
That is the plan, Patrick. And we are happy to share all of the upcoming advedntures with all of you, here. Thanks for watching.
It's a beautiful transformation and I'm still amazed at how quickly you guys accomplish this and the quality of the work! I would love to see you how you deal with things on a daily basis with the language barrier and the local requirements. Just how you deal with everyday things is really helpful!
We will definitely be showing this in upcoming videos, as we now have the freedom to live our Italian dream, apart from the renovation. We have come to find that, with the little Italian Michael knows, and the fact that we both try, the Italians we come across are more than willing to help, and are very happy with our desire to learn. Many that we know are also learning English, or already are fluent. But, learning a language does take time.
Thank you so much for watching. It means the world. Baci Baci!
Guys.. Congratulations on your slice of La Dolce Vita!!! Heres wishing you and your familia years of happiness and good times!!! Well done!!
Tommy, we thank you for you well wishes. And thank you for watching our channel. We appreciate you. Ciao.
Beautiful renovation guys!!!! I love all the tile work, gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing your other projects come to fruition as well as your daily adventures in your corner of the world. Also, Michael, glad you got the gift of meeting your Father and having a relationship with him and God Bless your Mama for loving you! Ciao!
Kelly, what kind words your brought in this comment. They made us both smile. We are very pleased with how the work came out. And we are happy to share our lives with all of you.
Grazie for your kind words, and Baci Baci!
wow what a great place!
Thank you very much, Randall. We are very happy to be here. Thank you so much for watching. We appreciate your time.
@@MichaelandJustin Greetings from Naples Florida ! My wife and I started watching Super Savvy Chris and progressed to you Guys... We are seriously thinking selling our little lake cottage in the Poconos and make the move for some months in the summer to Italy. We are planning for retirement in 4 years 4 months !! Scalea seams really cool and affordable! I guess we need to come visit the area when We are in Positano for the 1st couple weeks in October. I am sure there is a train... Your House seems very comfortable and what a view!!
@@CavityCreep1 We love Scalea. It is just perfect for our wants and nees. We hope that, when you come to Italy, you are able to find your dream spot too. It is such a beautiful place. We are glad that you found our channel. And, Chris is very nice. We like her very much. Wishing you the best. Baci Baci.
Ciao, Guys! I just had a thought about your pergola . . . Until the grapevines make it to the top, you know you can 'weave' canvas/tarp/outdoor material through the top for shade. It may take a while to source exactly the right thing, but good luck. I'm sure you're going to want to be outside and it's such a beautiful space! AND, congratulations on finishing up the house!!! Everything looks so beautiful and so comfortable! I would really love to meet you two when I come over!!! Mille grazie for the guided tour! Oh yeah, and thank you for the family info, too! It was kind of nice to know - not sure why, but still very nice. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
Jon, thanks for the idea. We are very happy to have your suggestions, and we are thankful to have you as a viewer. Thanks so much. Ciao.
What a stunning reveal. Congratulations it looks fabulous. Warwick
Thanks Warwick…it’s been a ton of fun over the months! 🤗
Hahaha…”pepperoncini for everyone”. Love you two! Congrats on the gorgeous villa renovation. So inspirational for all of us. I’m so excited to watch your travels in Italy (the less know, small towns the better :)) I hope I get to meet you both when we get back to Scalea (hopefully this year).
Kylie, thanks for your kindness and support. We are very pleased with how the villa came out. And, yes, when you are in Scalea, it would be wonderful to meet. Baci Baci.
Molto bella!!!😊complimenti!
Grazie. And thank you so much for watching, Marina.
I'm just catching up on this vlog - fabulous renovation . Great job. Thanks for telling us a little about your families. xx
Thanks for the kind words Leigh. We are happy to have you watching. And thanks for the interest in our families.😁
Amazing!!!...the spooky before music... halarious 😂...but justified.. great job guy's!!!!
We are glad you enjoyed this video. I (MIchael) was laughing when I added that music. Thanks for watching.
Oooh... my... gosh!!! It's incredibile! Tanti auguri, ragazzi!!!
Thanks sweetheart. Hope you guys are doing great. Miss you 🥰
Turned out gorgeous- congratulations guys!
Thank you, David. We are very happy with how it looks now. We are so thankful that you watch us. Thanks.
@@MichaelandJustin My husband and I are also expats , we are currently living in Mexico (Puerto Vallarta) , but love Italy and who knows , could be our next chapter one day in the next few years. Appreciate all the work that goes into your videos , and enjoy watching . Take care.
Congratulations, amazing villa,
Love love your bathrooms, choice of tiles is beautiful!
May you enjoy many years together in your wonderful home!
Helen, thank you so much for the kind words. We love the bathrooms as well. We are glad that you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching. Baci Baci.
I love your teal bathroom tiles!!! I picked the same ones for our bathroom renovation in Tropea. It's gorgeous. It reminds me of the sea in Calabria. Great job guys!!
Thank you very much, Cheryl. The tiles are so pretty. We are glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Love you after some wine. So fun! Hey I want Marcelo! Oh I need the white dress. Your villa is wonderful! I’m in love with kitchen and baths! All outside is peaceful and relaxing. Great job! Congratulations and many happy years! ANd congratulations on your 50!
Oh Carol…you’re too fun…love it! You made us smile. Thanks so much for watching our channel darling. Much love 💕
Exactly Michael, I make a mess cooking or baking but I clean it all up. Please visit Belmonte Calabro - but look up the history beforehand as its a bit OMG. Your renovated villa is incredible! The workmen you used have done a fantastic job and Justin you have a great interior design ideas.
We will definitely do this for a future video. Thank you so much for the suggestion. And, as always, thanks for watching.
@@MichaelandJustin Oooh thank you. Please go to Mausoleo Michele Bianchi - though Im unsure if Mikey can get to that bit? It's the OMG part of the area. One thing I'm wondering, is the lovely doggy patio area with cute fence and gate, is if the floor tiles will be burning hot in the summer and burn the dogs paws? Perhaps you might need to unroll some mats or artifical grass in the hot weather? Hope you don't mind me mentioning it.
Ok, I am only 8 min.in the video, but I am laughing so hard right now….I have not laughed this much in a very long time. You guys are on a roll! I love it and thank you! Cheers and baci baci! 😂🤣😂🤣🍷🍷🍷🍷
Thanks, Barbara. We are just us...being us. Lol. We are glad we entertained you. That is our goal. Thanks for watching. Baci Baci!
Wowza the villa looks amazing both inside and out, you must be delighted with it all!! You really are selling that Italian lifestyle ❤️❤️
Hi Melanie. You know how easy it is to fall into the Italian lifestyle. We both look forward to meeting you when you are here next, and we are so thankful that you watch us, and that you like the villa.
Happy 50th episode guys!!! You two are hilarious and it brings me so much joy to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing some of your family history, very interesting. I absolutely LOVE your villa! Your choice in tiles in the bathrooms and kitchen is GORGEOUS! I hope you enjoyed your day of celebration and I wish you both many years of happiness in your new home. Much love from Cali!
Thank you for the kindness, Neda. We are happy to share our lives with you, and are so honored that you share your time with us. Baci Baci!
Hey guys! Me and my husband are currently looking for an appartment in Scalea and I'm so happy I found your channel! It's like I already have someone that I know in Scalea :) Great job with the house.
Hi there. We are happy you found out channel, too. Scalea is a beautiful place. We love it here. Thank you so much for watching. Baci Baci

I absolutely LOVE the reveal--your bathroom tiles are gorgeous and the chandeliers...I'm smitten! You have such talent for both interior and exterior. You guys, this was the funniest video yet. I was laughing so hard, I'm going to call you the Spiceboys. I loved this one! (though I love all of them) I am really looking forward to seeing your parents, you both had heartwarming stories, its clear how much you guys love your families. ( PS, that white dress!!! OMGLOL!!!) ~love Rochelle (calilibrarian)

Absolutely beautiful!!! You two did an amazing job. I just booked our tickets to Italy to look for property. We’re looking from Scalea to Puglia. I cant say enough how your home is my Italian dream home with those views 😍 thank you for making these videos, they are so inspirational… hopefully we can meet you both when we’re in town, that would be amazing. ❤️ -Marissa
I am looking at Puglia and Scalea too.
Marissa, thank you for the kind words. We are sure that you are going to have a blast when in Italy. It is PERFECT here. We are very happy, and feel very blessed, to live here, And yes, when you are in the area, it would be great to meet. Keep us posted.
All I can say, is Scalea is BEAUTIFUL!
My compliments Justine and Michael...you can really feel the love that you have for each other and the love that you both put into renovating the house. Good luck to both of you.

Thanks for writing, Lisa. We do plan on, one day, getting there. We hope to visit all of Italy, in time. Thank you so much for watching our channel. We appreciate your time.
@@MichaelandJustin I was born and spent most of my life in SoCal. I've lived on Maui, in Bozeman Montana and currently I own a little farm in Kentucky. I'm a horsewomen. Anyway, you have inspired me to look into getting my dual citizenship through decent. Thank you.. This old Surfer Girl would love to live as close as possible to the Sea, again. Scalea is calling.. 😘
Congratulations! Your patience and vision have paid off...best wishes.
Thank you so much, Giuseppe. You're kindness is appreciated. We are very happy here. Thank you for watching.
Btw...we are friends. We last had dinner at Wilma's Palazzo. This is my Italian name.
@@Giuseppe_G oh yes. That was such a great night. Lol.
Lovely!! Michael, thank god your 'real' mother found you!! Giving birth does not make a mother.
Thanks, Judi. I (Michael) do feel very lucky
love love the blue. your bed covering in the J&M bedroom 😍 i was on a train from Milan to Bologna and it was carrying on to Reggia Calabria... saw the stop Scalea. debated about taking one helluva detour. LOL
Thanks so much for taking time to comment, much appreciated. We truly appreciate you watching our channel. You must stop then in Scalea someday! Huge hugs 🤗
@@MichaelandJustin I will.
Beautiful! Love it! (They make a wind filter so that the wind isn’t so loud. )
Thanks Les. We will look into that device. Thanks for the tip 👍and thanks for watching our channel
Sure thing, it looks like a small furry animal on the mike 😜
Extra-extra-fun and enjoyable video, guys! Happy for you that you reached these two milestones, and took the time to celebrate with each other and with us! Love the before and after sequences - we watched them all as you posted during the process , but it’s GREAT to have a final overall review! You asked for suggestions / requests, so here are a couple: 1. As you were showing the outdoor front view from inside the living room and Justin’s parents’ bedroom, I noticed the plain concrete edging of the patio and a thought struck me that that might look really nice painted the same blue as your doors. Just an idea! I’m most definitely NOT an designer, so you will know better than me!! 2. Have you been to Belvedere Marittimo yet? For some reason I thought I remembered you mentioning in one of your videos that you liked it, but I don’t recall for sure. I’d personally love to see a video of that town and the surrounding hills / views if that might be of interest to you for another video. Apologies if you’ve already posted one and I’ve either missed it (highly unlikely) or forgotten it (very possibly-memory more like a sieve than a trap, lol!). Abbracci da lontano!!!
Hi, Deb. We are happy to hear from you, and are very happy that you enjoyed this video. To answer your questions. What you were looking at is travertine. It showed as concrete. But, it s natural stone. The camera just played tricks. As for Belvedere, we do know the area...Justin's hospital stay was in Belvedere. We have not filmed it, as of yet. But, thanks to your input here, we will have it as a future video. We are very thankful that you have taken the time to write this message. And, we appreciate you taking the time to watch our channel. Baci Baci, dear!
@@MichaelandJustin Thank you for the reply, and travertine is beautiful - just couldn’t tell from a distance I guess. Thanks much for considering my request for a Belvedere Marittimo video! Glad you are enjoying life so much, and we are lucky to be fortunate to remotely enjoy along with you!
@@debsmith7120 you are very sweet!🤗
Oops , forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS on 50 episodes !!!!!!
Thank you. 😍 And thanks for watching.
Omg 😱 gorgeous gorgeous beautiful villa.
I hope you guys a very happy life and god bless you and your family
I wish you health, happiness, love and prosperity for ever and ever
Mickie looks for Alessandra Amoroso I believe that she have some songs that you can use in the background as Buongiorno
Thank you, Yamirka. We are very happy in the villa. We are also very thankful for your continued viewership. We look forward to your comments.
Amazing job (as usual) gentlemen - - your attention to detail and color choices are absolutely beautiful! I chuckled when you began the "before" photo montage, as the soundtrack overlay made me think I was watching a dramatic fight scene straight out of a John Wick movie... 🤪 What will become of your cute condo nearby? Looking forward to all the forthcoming developments with the driveway and pool area, and am eager to see the evolution of your UA-cam channel as the villa restoration wraps up. Ciao from Los Angeles! Benito
Hi Benito. You take care of LA for us with us no longer there ok. We appreciate your kindness and you taking time to watch our channel. So happy to entertain you . Huge hugs 🤗
Buona Sera, as always it’s a pleasure to see your video. This time with touch of very private story of yours life sharing with us. The difference between before and after of the villa its a lot and you mast be proud of it sure. Now I was just wondering and forgive me if I allow a suggestion when you talk in front of a camera phone, way don’t you put the mobile phone on a tripod so that the image stay steel and your arm don’t get tired? 😉
See you on next episode and thank you. Ciao.
Good suggestion on tripod…we did not intend to blab so long for that part lol. We appreciate your time, your kindness to comment and your watching our channel. Thanks Michele 🤗
those views are amazing. how much would a villa like that cost today. we are here a looking but i haven’t seen anything with those views. amazing 🤩
no bidets!!! yay 😀
Hi there. We are not sure the rate that it would go for in the position it is now in, after renovations. But, when we got it, we paid 170K Euro. (Which was good). If you wanted to see prices, you can visit idealista . it and type in scalea (or wherever in Italy you wanted to look). It will show you a list of properties for sale. This is how we found our place. And yes...we did remove the bidet from the bathroom, to make it roomier, and easier to access. Thank you so much for watching. Baci Baci.
Thank you very much for this info, I appreciate your reply. We have been using idealista but our budget is way less. Beautiful place you have.
😂 A wee little tipsy!!!!
Lol heehee 😉 xoxo
@@MichaelandJustin 😘
No bidets. Disgusting.
Being that both bathrooms are smaller, and with Michael having a disability, we decided to not go with traditional bidets. However, we do have a bidet sprayer installed in both bathrooms. These both are great, in that they do not take up[ space. Thanks for watching.
