I love how you value the historical richness of your beautiful country and its culture. You are not crazy, but imaginative and deeply thoughtful in using your talents to build a great future for your family as well as add back to the life of this village. Imagine living in a house that was built a 1000 years ago! I wish you so much success, happiness and satisfaction in your new projects. And thanks so much for taking us along on your journey!❤❤❤💚
Luce feeding and 'talking' to the cats was precious. She's adorable. Congrats on the house purchase. I am sure you will make it into a cozy home and now you have 2 places with sea views :)
Love that you two don't take life for granted. I can see your bedroom doors to the balcony with long sheer curtains blowing in the wind while you let in the morning light and breeze. Can't wait to see the progress on the house.
Congratulations! It is a beautiful house and you are not crazy, it is better to spend money to renovate this house than spending money on renting to have nothing at the end. Luce is such a delight, especially when she looks at the camera and starts a little conversation! Can’t wait to see the renovation videos.
"nothing at the end" .....“Understand that you own nothing. Everything that surrounds you is temporary. Only the love in your heart will last forever.”
@@leaw first of all let me start by saying thank you so much for this informative video. Also Luce is so cute and so bright. It wouldn't surpirse me if she turns out to be a genius. There were few things I didn't understand in this video. You said that usually the 1 euro houses needs to be renovated within a time period. But you don't have any time limit in this house. You also said that in this village you don't get houses for 1 euro, but then you said that you did buy this for 1 euro. So I'm a bit confused whether you bought this for 1 euro or not. And could you probably share how you found house like this and where to take part in the auction? that would be great
What an amazing find. The barrel vaulting, the thick walls, the balconies with the sea view - most attractive. For me, the most heartwarming sound in the village are the church bells. So soothing, so traditional.
The house looks like it’s in way better shape than a lot of the 1 euro houses. Just hope that the townspeople realize the potential of their town and turn it into a destination.
best of luck for your family with this project , great to see these abandoned houses are restored ...the little one is adorable , she really stole the show at the end
What an amazing surprise. Luke and Sara are doing everything right. The tiles and the floring is a plus but the view out their windows/ deck are what dreams are made of. Living by the sea is something both Luke and Sara have talked about for a long awhile and now look at them. It will be interesting to tune in every week to watch their accomplishments. So happy for them and their little girl. To see Lucia walking down the cornerstone street was adorable.
You are both such hard workers and really give things a go. You should be really proud of yourselves. I have to say....your daughter is such a beautiful little girl. She is always so happy and has such a gorgeous personality. Take care! Love from Australia

Congratulations on your new home. I can’t wait to see the finished renovation. Your daughter is adorable. Her giggles are so contagious that she makes me smile and laugh. I’m off to watch the next episodes!!❤❤❤
Hello, you are not crazy…your house has so much potential. You also have brought new life to the village. So many villages in Sicily have abandoned houses…young people what the big city. You appreciate the land, history and beauty of village life. All my best wishes for much success and happiness!!!!!
Time for Italian people from all over the world to buy and rebuild theirs treasures and we are the rest of the earth population will promise to visit your unforgettable amazing country. Viva Italia!
Luce feeding and meowing with the cats at the end, just melted my heart! Good luck with the renovation. How special it must be to be keeping the history of a 1000 year old house going! I can see why you are so excited. Here’s to 2nd chances!! ❤
I don’t think you are crazy, I think your choice is beautiful!!! The upper rooms are magnificent and the sea view and church bells make it so romantic. In my opinion, you have made two incredible choices in properties. God bless your beautiful family💕
I wish you both lots of happiness in the restoration of this ancient house in Italy. Please keep us informed on how you are getting on. It will be hard work but try to enjoy the process as it will end one day.
What a cool house, and 1000 years of history! We will really have fun watching your ideas come to life on this project! Luce is already taking over the village, such a wonderful character. Lucky town!
Amazing Village > Motta d'Affermo is a small and charming village which was founded in the ~ Middle Ages ~ 😃 Wow. During the reign of King Martin I > this ancient village was ruled by several local feudal lords.
Congratulations for your new home. You can use your imagination and see how beautiful it will become. How exciting. I look forward to watch your renovation. Have a wonderful day.

Congratulations, your home has unbelievable potential to become a beautiful home. You have a million dollar view. Great investment and I am so happy for the three of you❤
I love the house and the tile. Im happy to see your planning to keep the doors and tile. The last Home i renovated was a 1945 WW2 Veterans home that was condemned and scheduled for demolition. Partly because Im a Military Brat & I love to fix things. I was able to convince the city to allow me to renovate it and it turned out beautiful. I also had to replace all the electrical and plumbing to modern standards but I was able to find all new real wood flooring the same as the original and I saved most of the original fir doors and found the last 2 1945 fir doors at a salvage store. I was also able to find all the Crystal knobs and hardware on the internet. Yall are my kinda crazy. I have a couple of videos of the Gentry house (the last house I renovated) on my channel if you want to see it.
Luce is a delight to watch and love her kindness in feeding the cats. She’s a beautiful child. You both are incredible parents. Love the new home. Awaiting to see the transformation.
What a beautiful house! It is so elegant! And so appropriate for the climate! AND it’s in such good shape! Aside from updating the utilities, everything else seems to be cosmetic and superficial. What an amazing find! And you have another sea view!
Luce is so precious with the kitties! Another fascinating turn in the lives of Sara, Luca and Luce. I remember hearing about the 1Euro initiative, so cool and interesting that you decided to explore this option. Looking forward to seeing the restoration and as with your property, beautiful views of the sea. Have a beautiful week beautiful Sara, (love your outfit), Luca and Luce. ♥
Yay a place to stretch. I love that Luce is showing her own sense of agency, realizing that she can make her own things happen. And she is so part of your trio, she is starting to engage with the camera just like Mommy and Daddy. I wonder what she's trying to tell us... maybe about part of her experience at the 2 ft tall level. The cutest part was definitely watching her toddle down the alley. I am so glad that you guys got a place in town that has the amenities that you will need.
Fantastic news!!!! It's sooo good to see you taking the oportunity of buying a 1 euro house in your own country. It looks like a very sturdy structure. So sensible to have a house to live in whilst you get the farm to how you want it. GOOD LUCK- can't wait to see the house being brought back to life in it's traditional and original decorations and furniture.
We are SO excited for you and cannot wait to watch your journey as you make this charming home your own! The positivity and love you have for one another and Luce, shines through in all of your videos. Everything you do, you do together and without the help of friends or hiring someone. It amazes us that with all you’ve been through, you come out on top! We’re happy to hear you’ve hired someone to repair and plaster the walls so you can get in your new home quickly. Thank you for always being positive, never whining and complaining and sharing sweet Luce with all of us. You are wonderful parents!!
I've never seen you guys before but as soon as you said, "We'll keep the tiles," I knew I like you. I'm so happy you said you'll keep all the old features of the house - thank goodness! So many people rip out all the best parts and replace it with neutral rubbish. I'm glad you'll honour and respect this stunning property. When I saw the lounge and the view I filled up - just as I imagine you did when you first saw it. I wish your family the best with renovations of your beautiful new home. xx
This house is absolutely beautiful. I am seeing the potential. Love the original tile, the vaulted ceilings, the balconies and the stunning views. I am looking forward to the restoration.
Congratulations on the house….It’s a great idea to renovate this place and have a comfortable home base while you work on the olive grove. The big sea view property is definitely a long term and very ambitious project and you’ll be happy to have this house, rather than living in a temporary dwelling or the van. Good decision!
I am so excited for you and your ‘new’ house! I know they would like young families like your to bring renewed life to these villages. I can’t wait to see the process. (And I see a lot of cats in Luce’s future). 😽
Can you feel the envy of those of us living around the world who would love to take on what you have chosen? Bravo! A house AND your beautiful property. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for your lovely little family.
We are your followers and watching your weekly videos since about three years and we are very excited to see the results of your new 1 euro house after your renovation as we had watched your renovation for your old house . Take care for your sweet angle child and Good luck ❤
That is such a quaint village close to your property, so finding this really great big home is really wonderful and good that you will get help getting the walls done! There is some renovation work, but the structure and much of the floors and tile work are beautiful and will get new life! Congratulations sweet Sara, Luca and adorable Luce!🌟❤️💖💗
The house has so many beautiful features. A lot of work needs to be done for sure but the house has so much potential. I am excited to see what you are going to do with it. A great place to stay on hot days when you aren't in the olive grove. Luce has a very special way with cats-I loved watching her interact with the kittens at the end of the video❤
That archway (between the “children’s” bedroom and big “bedroom”) is beautiful shape, the tiles everywhere and those views. What a find! It’s beautiful
What an absolutely charming house, I love everything about it! Reusing the old tiles, windows and doors will keep the costs down and retain some of its history. The views from the windows are breathtaking, the sounds of the church bells, and sweet Luce’s laughter makes it perfect. May all who enter your house be blessed. 🙏🏻
I love every Sunday morning with your family ❤ so excited for your ventures with your new properties that are both so beautiful in their own ways. The video of Luce and the kitties is precious! She is so gentle and loving with them. Enjoy your week and see you all next Sunday 😘
You guys are amazing and so hardworking and I adore your beautiful daughter Luce she’s always smiling and so happy, good luck🍀 with your Olive harvest. Sheila Rafferty, Essex in the UK 🇬🇧
This is amazing! I hope the repairs aren't too difficult. It will be wonderful to have a town place and a country place. And you still get your sea view and historic feel! Congratulations.
Congratulations! It is indeed a wise idea to have a home close to your olive tree property. We are so happy to watch your videos . Sicily is such a beautiful and full of history island. We can’t wait to see what you are doing to do next . Luce is so adorable playing and feeding the cats. ❤❤❤
What a wonderful and exciting addition this will make to your lives in Sicily! Lots of work ahead but you will be making it your own as you also enjoy working your olive grove! You are inspiring me on so many levels! All the best with everything!!
This house has all the bones of a beautiful home. I can't wait to see the renovation. I love this vlog so much more now. You should ask Carlo and Nicki to be hosts at your house in Lucky land as a bed and breakfast so you can bring in income to fund these renovations. There would be so many people wanting to board at Luckyland and it would generate so much interest in both your projects and vlogs that it would pay them and you. Carlo and Nicki have been looking for land in Tuscany to open a bed and breakfast. Well?
Congrats! The house has such character and it is in the best hands with the two of you. Also, Luce feeding and talking with the kitties is so precious. Ciao.
WOW! this place is beautiful! The tiles, the ceilings, the view!! And it great that you want to keep the "old vibe" of the apartment. Bravissimi ragazzi!
Yes! When I learned about these homes few years ago, I was like, it would be interesting to see how average folks buy it and bring it up to code. How much would it cost, how do you haul materials up there, etc.
If they're eating bread that means they are either starving or undernourished and stray cats ...I hope there is a spaying and neutering program for stray cats there. It was so heartbreaking for me even as a child growing up in Indonesia to see all the stray and nearly-starving cats. I brought one home and begged my mother to keep it, but we didn't know she was already pregnant even though still a kitten herself. It was hard to find them homes because many of the Javanese people were struggling themselves and the westerners were often prejudiced against Indonesian cats because many of them have a strange genetic disposition that makes them look like they have broken tails. The world can be cruel sometimes.
@@kindlydude Yes, bread is the worst thing for them. Hope they at least put out dry food and water and let their daughter understand how to respect and live around animals like this.
Wow. I am beyond excited for you! It's so lovely. I was sold with the gorgeous tiles throughout, then you showed the sea view from your bedroom!!!! A real treasure. Well deserved and so right for you! I'm very excited to see more and enjoy this through your blogs! I'm too old to travel, but you fill me with joy! Thank you.
I love Luce at the beginning waiting patiently to be introduced. She's turning into a movie star. 🌟 I don't think you guys are crazy at all. You've given quite alot of consideration for what will work for your family! You should be commended! Congrats on the newest new project! ❤️🍁
At a glance I would open the walls of the living room to the kitchen where you plan to have your daughter's room. Then I would build all the bedrooms downstairs to take advantage of the cooler air in the hot summer. I'd also put the laundry downstairs with the bedrooms and take that wall away next to the main entrance to open that space up so it's more inviting upon entering the home. Beautiful view from the balconies! Such a wonderfully quiet little village.
7:06 - 7:16 I, have seen penthouse apartment's in New York (on here) for between $56,000.000 - $63,000.000 that offer views of the whole city. Including Central Park, Statue of Liberty. Hudson river etc. I prefer your view from the balcony for 1 Euro. Your child looks to have a very happy disposition bless her. All the best to you. If there was a choice between rural and urban, for me, there is no choice. Rural wins every time. I keep expecting to see Inspector Montalbano in the streets.
Guys, i'm shocked! You just done a stunning decision, to buy such wonderful property for just one euro. It's been a super smart idea, and will afford you to have the right place to grow the entire family. Standing ovation for you... (greetings from Zagarolo, Italy)
Absolutely stunning very sensible! And why not? That view my mouth hit the floor I had to pause it !!!! 😭 can’t wait to see it when it’s cleaned and furnished etc
@leaw Congratulations, wishes for splendid life together💐. Please make a video to show us the fixing work processes of the house 🎉 I want you to discuss with followers whether you better to (1) demolish to ground and build a NEW house from scratch OR (2) fixing the old house?
Congratulations! I love everything about it! The architecture of the home...the walls, the tiles, the ceiling heights, the doors, the view...amazing! I can't wait to follow your progress!
Oh my, I’m so excited that you purchased this home. What a dream, so roomy and lots of potential. Luce and the kittens really warms my heart. It reminds me of Maui where there are many feral cats. I’m sure many were lost in the ravaging fires, so seeing Luce sharing her bread brings tears to my eyes. My family lived on Maui for over 30 years, so have been having a hard time with the loss.
Will you ever sleep for the next year?! So excited for you!!! I love the tile the floor the view, everything! I can see that basement with the jars full of what Sarah will be canning from the property. And what a wonderful place for Luce. That footage at the end of her walking alone brought tears to my eyes. Her future is destined to be magical. Pace yourself during this wonderful time and get your rest. This is so very wonderful. Love Luce’s curls! And her ☝️ Sending hugs and wishes for nothing but smooth sailing on all your hard work. ⚒️🪚🍇❤
OMGOSH what a beautiful house! I can’t tell you how happy I am for you! The stars are in alignment! Luce’s infection of love with animals and especially cats is amazing. Sending lots of love! ❤
I love all of your energy. When my husband and I inherited a little house with beautiful land going down to a river people thought we were crazy…it has one closet but the beautiful land makes up for ant flaws. I was holding my breath with the kitties but Luce was gentle. ❤❤❤
OMG! I am sooo very happy that you found this beautiful house in Sicily! You two have persevered and now you have found a treasure! You could not do any better! I have followed you for two years and gone through your hard times, I rejoice in your good health and wise decisions for you all! You have great courage and will do a beautiful job to connect with your community and we will all be there for you with likes and conversations! I am 81 and love watching your videos which teach people to go on in life and step by step , day by day your adventure will happen! You are raising a beautiful little girl in a beautiful area of tge wirld! 👏❤️👍😁👏❤️❤️❤️
I wish you guys all the very very best. An exciting renovation project and hopefully successful. Love to see these little villages revived by young families moving in. Help preserve the wonderful regional culture of Italy.
Hello lovely people! Your daughter is absolutely adorable. Congratulations on your new home, btw the views from your balcony and the quiet little ancient village are stunning! Best wishes for the reconstruction there will be hurdles for sure but once overcome will be the more reason for pride joy and happiness! 💗
Luce is going to have a wonderful life growing up near the ocean and surrounded by incredible ancient history. She has so much personality and her love of animals is adorable. You can see she is trying to communicate with the camera when you guys are talking to the camera too.😂 The best part is she is healthy and happy with two parents who love her so much. What more could she ever need. 🥰 Good luck with the home renovations. I can't wait to see what you do with the place.
Oh my god guys. So excited for you. This is another brilliant idea and exciting venture. Your house has so much character and those two front rooms are sooooo gorgeous. Luce is a right little cat whisperer now isn't she! 😅 So great that you gave both the pros and cons of the 1 euro thing. Can't wait to follow your progress. Congratulations 🎉
First video I’m watching from you guys & I can honestly say I’m very impressed with the projects you’ve taken on even with a young child. Your daughter is absolutely adorable btw. The ending with her feeding the stray cats 🥹🥹 Too cutee
What a lovely house! The little room without windows could have the door to the room, with 3 panels, take the top panel out and put frosted glass instead to let light in. Look at Luce walking, how sweet ❤
I was surprised that you bought another house, but I can totally see why. Makes good sense. Are you allowed to add extra windows to these old structures, if they look and confirm with the rest of the windows? It’s nice to have the children’s room next to your bedroom. You guys are such an adorable family, you put a big smile on my face. Your little girl is very precious, so happy and well loved. 🥰
What a precious little girl Luce is! I just love the way she smiles and laughs in the camera! What a beautiful legacy you are building for her. Kudos to you. I would have bought that house in an instant!! I'm already imagining it full of houseplants.
I remember about two or three years ago, right before/during COVID, I saw these listings for the 1 Euro homes, and you need to dedicate a certain amount of time or money to rebuild the home to rebuild the area and thought it was too good to be true. Awesome to randomly come across this years later!!
Quite impressive indeed. Two foot thick walls minimum! It actually is very beautiful. I love it. You will make it just perfect. Welcome to Sicily!!! Cannot wait to see it’s progress. Life is beautiful…and all your hard work and consistent restorations are truly paying off! 👏👏👏
The house you bought for 1 Euro will look amazing when you restore it!!! And the sea view is amazing!!! Adorable Luce, laughing and playing with the cats!!! See you next tiem!!! Big hug!!!!
Wow! Congrats! My opinion I would breakdown the wall between the kitchen, kids play room, bedroom and make it a big living room and kitchen all together and use the other room where you said it was the living room now make that a bedroom. But either way it’s going to be beautiful. How exciting! Can’t wait to see your renovation. 😇
This is so awesome for you!!! I love the way Luce was helping you tell us about the new property! She is ADORABLE. Thank you for bringing Sicily (where my Mom's family is from) to UA-cam where I can see all the history and beauty of the land my family is from! Graci!!!
Just wondering if you all were effected by all the bad weather! I have been praying for your safety and for all the others affected. I watched the old video from Mexico. But that alarmed me that maybe things weren’t well with you ! I will continue to lift you up in prayer!🙏💕🙏
I’m so excited to see your new house transformation. What a great idea to buy the house in the village so you will have some where to live while you are fixing up your olive grove and building a home on your land. I love watching your beautiful daughter as she grows and develops. She is so smart how she interacts with the camera. I’m new to your channel so I don’t usually comment but I wanted you to know how much I enjoy seeing Luce each week. From grandma Cheryl in Australia. 😊
I love how you value the historical richness of your beautiful country and its culture. You are not crazy, but imaginative and deeply thoughtful in using your talents to build a great future for your family as well as add back to the life of this village. Imagine living in a house that was built a 1000 years ago! I wish you so much success, happiness and satisfaction in your new projects. And thanks so much for taking us along on your journey!❤❤❤💚
Just thought that your house may have been there when some of your olive trees were planted by other ancient farmers?
Wow. Love it. Looking forward to the Reno.
Any chance you can do a video of one that’s already renovated?
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️🤗👍🏻
Well said
Luce feeding and 'talking' to the cats was precious. She's adorable. Congrats on the house purchase. I am sure you will make it into a cozy home and now you have 2 places with sea views :)

Its amazing how the Italians have all migrated to Anglo countries
The house looks like it’s in way better shape than a lot of the 1 euro houses. Just hope that the townspeople realize the potential of their town and turn it into a destination.
Better to keep it quiet. Don't need the city moving in
Makes sense; they had time to carefully look and they speak the language!
Hope the town doesn’t turn into a destination! Tourism is becoming a detriment to the ordinary citizens.

I love the house and the tile. Im happy to see your planning to keep the doors and tile. The last Home i renovated was a 1945 WW2 Veterans home that was condemned and scheduled for demolition. Partly because Im a Military Brat & I love to fix things. I was able to convince the city to allow me to renovate it and it turned out beautiful. I also had to replace all the electrical and plumbing to modern standards but I was able to find all new real wood flooring the same as the original and I saved most of the original fir doors and found the last 2 1945 fir doors at a salvage store. I was also able to find all the Crystal knobs and hardware on the internet. Yall are my kinda crazy. I have a couple of videos of the Gentry house (the last house I renovated) on my channel if you want to see it.
Luce is a delight to watch and love her kindness in feeding the cats. She’s a beautiful child. You both are incredible parents. Love the new home. Awaiting to see the transformation.
I hope they have a program for spaying and neutering the stray cats and dogs so they don't overpopulate & starve & have such a hard life!
What a beautiful house! It is so elegant! And so appropriate for the climate! AND it’s in such good shape! Aside from updating the utilities, everything else seems to be cosmetic and superficial. What an amazing find! And you have another sea view!
Can you share links or websites to other 1 Euro homes ….and how do we approach the village or county
Luce is so precious with the kitties! Another fascinating turn in the lives of Sara, Luca and Luce. I remember hearing about the 1Euro initiative, so cool and interesting that you decided to explore this option. Looking forward to seeing the restoration and as with your property, beautiful views of the sea. Have a beautiful week beautiful Sara, (love your outfit), Luca and Luce. ♥
Yay a place to stretch.
I love that Luce is showing her own sense of agency, realizing that she can make her own things happen. And she is so part of your trio, she is starting to engage with the camera just like Mommy and Daddy. I wonder what she's trying to tell us... maybe about part of her experience at the 2 ft tall level.
The cutest part was definitely watching her toddle down the alley.
I am so glad that you guys got a place in town that has the amenities that you will need.
Fantastic news!!!! It's sooo good to see you taking the oportunity of buying a 1 euro house in your own country. It looks like a very sturdy structure. So sensible to have a house to live in whilst you get the farm to how you want it. GOOD LUCK- can't wait to see the house being brought back to life in it's traditional and original decorations and furniture.
We are SO excited for you and cannot wait to watch your journey as you make this charming home your own! The positivity and love you have for one another and Luce, shines through in all of your videos. Everything you do, you do together and without the help of friends or hiring someone. It amazes us that with all you’ve been through, you come out on top! We’re happy to hear you’ve hired someone to repair and plaster the walls so you can get in your new home quickly. Thank you for always being positive, never whining and complaining and sharing sweet Luce with all of us. You are wonderful parents!!
Yes!! Congratulations, truly well done and your daughter is beyond cute!! Best wishes
I've never seen you guys before but as soon as you said, "We'll keep the tiles," I knew I like you. I'm so happy you said you'll keep all the old features of the house - thank goodness! So many people rip out all the best parts and replace it with neutral rubbish. I'm glad you'll honour and respect this stunning property. When I saw the lounge and the view I filled up - just as I imagine you did when you first saw it. I wish your family the best with renovations of your beautiful new home. xx
This house is absolutely beautiful. I am seeing the potential. Love the original tile, the vaulted ceilings, the balconies and the stunning views. I am looking forward to the restoration.
Congratulations on the house….It’s a great idea to renovate this place and have a comfortable home base while you work on the olive grove. The big sea view property is definitely a long term and very ambitious project and you’ll be happy to have this house, rather than living in a temporary dwelling or the van. Good decision!
I am so excited for you and your ‘new’ house! I know they would like young families like your to bring renewed life to these villages. I can’t wait to see the process. (And I see a lot of cats in Luce’s future). 😽
If you feed cats, then it is your responsibility to get each one spayed & neutered!
Can you feel the envy of those of us living around the world who would love to take on what you have chosen? Bravo! A house AND your beautiful property. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for your lovely little family.
We are your followers and watching your weekly videos since about three years and we are very excited to see the results of your new 1 euro house after your renovation as we had watched your renovation for your old house . Take care for your sweet angle child and Good luck ❤
That is such a quaint village close to your property, so finding this really great big home is really wonderful and good that you will get help getting the walls done! There is some renovation work, but the structure and much of the floors and tile work are beautiful and will get new life! Congratulations sweet Sara, Luca and adorable Luce!🌟❤️💖💗
The house has so many beautiful features. A lot of work needs to be done for sure but the house has so much potential. I am excited to see what you are going to do with it. A great place to stay on hot days when you aren't in the olive grove. Luce has a very special way with cats-I loved watching her interact with the kittens at the end of the video❤
That archway (between the “children’s” bedroom and big “bedroom”) is beautiful shape, the tiles everywhere and those views. What a find! It’s beautiful
What an absolutely charming house, I love everything about it! Reusing the old tiles, windows and doors will keep the costs down and retain some of its history. The views from the windows are breathtaking, the sounds of the church bells, and sweet Luce’s laughter makes it perfect.
May all who enter your house be blessed. 🙏🏻
I love every Sunday morning with your family ❤ so excited for your ventures with your new properties that are both so beautiful in their own ways. The video of Luce and the kitties is precious! She is so gentle and loving with them. Enjoy your week and see you all next Sunday 😘
Thank you so much! ❤️
You guys are amazing and so hardworking and I adore your beautiful daughter Luce she’s always smiling and so happy, good luck🍀 with your Olive harvest. Sheila Rafferty, Essex in the UK 🇬🇧
This is amazing! I hope the repairs aren't too difficult. It will be wonderful to have a town place and a country place. And you still get your sea view and historic feel! Congratulations.
Congratulations! It is indeed a wise idea to have a home close to your olive tree property. We are so happy to watch your videos . Sicily is such a beautiful and full of history island. We can’t wait to see what you are doing to do next . Luce is so adorable playing and feeding the cats. ❤❤❤
Wish you all the best with your property. It is fantastic! Looking forward to see the renovation.
What a wonderful and exciting addition this will make to your lives in Sicily! Lots of work ahead but you will be making it your own as you also enjoy working your olive grove! You are inspiring me on so many levels! All the best with everything!!
This house has all the bones of a beautiful home. I can't wait to see the renovation. I love this vlog so much more now. You should ask Carlo and Nicki to be hosts at your house in Lucky land as a bed and breakfast so you can bring in income to fund these renovations. There would be so many people wanting to board at Luckyland and it would generate so much interest in both your projects and vlogs that it would pay them and you. Carlo and Nicki have been looking for land in Tuscany to open a bed and breakfast. Well?
Wow……. That view out of the two rooms!!!! I’m loving the flow of your new home, can’t wait to see as y’all progress.
Congrats! The house has such character and it is in the best hands with the two of you. Also, Luce feeding and talking with the kitties is so precious. Ciao.
WOW! this place is beautiful! The tiles, the ceilings, the view!! And it great that you want to keep the "old vibe" of the apartment. Bravissimi ragazzi!
Yes! When I learned about these homes few years ago, I was like, it would be interesting to see how average folks buy it and bring it up to code. How much would it cost, how do you haul materials up there, etc.
I think you hit the jackpot! I’m sure it’ll be as beautiful as Luckyland when you’re finished! I’m watching from Asheville, North Carolina.
Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Just love Luce's interaction with the cats, sharing her bread with them. What a sweetheart!
Us too! 🥰
If they're eating bread that means they are either starving or undernourished and stray cats ...I hope there is a spaying and neutering program for stray cats there. It was so heartbreaking for me even as a child growing up in Indonesia to see all the stray and nearly-starving cats. I brought one home and begged my mother to keep it, but we didn't know she was already pregnant even though still a kitten herself. It was hard to find them homes because many of the Javanese people were struggling themselves and the westerners were often prejudiced against Indonesian cats because many of them have a strange genetic disposition that makes them look like they have broken tails. The world can be cruel sometimes.
@@kindlydude Yes, bread is the worst thing for them. Hope they at least put out dry food and water and let their daughter understand how to respect and live around animals like this.
I can't wait to see the result after renovation. I wish you all luck and happiness in your new home.😘
Wow. I am beyond excited for you! It's so lovely. I was sold with the gorgeous tiles throughout, then you showed the sea view from your bedroom!!!! A real treasure. Well deserved and so right for you! I'm very excited to see more and enjoy this through your blogs! I'm too old to travel, but you fill me with joy! Thank you.
I can’t ever imagine Luce having a tantrum. She is always smiling. Big hug from Germany 🇩🇪 🇮🇹
🥰❤️🥰
Luce has two loving attentive parents. Hello from Austin, Texas
If she DID have a tantrum, they wouldn't bother to film it, right? (Although even that would probably be cute) 🥴 she is so precious.
Children are children, they all melt down at some point😅
@@christobar yes and nothing wrong with it..That is how they learn about big feelings and momma n dada will help her with it ❤ she a lovely family!!
Great view!! Love the tiles! Yes, you have repairs to do.
I love Luce at the beginning waiting patiently to be introduced. She's turning into a movie star. 🌟 I don't think you guys are crazy at all. You've given quite alot of consideration for what will work for your family! You should be commended! Congrats on the newest new project! ❤️🍁
Thank you 🙏🏻🤗👍🏻
At a glance I would open the walls of the living room to the kitchen where you plan to have your daughter's room. Then I would build all the bedrooms downstairs to take advantage of the cooler air in the hot summer. I'd also put the laundry downstairs with the bedrooms and take that wall away next to the main entrance to open that space up so it's more inviting upon entering the home. Beautiful view from the balconies! Such a wonderfully quiet little village.
Great ideas I hope they will see your post.
7:06 - 7:16 I, have seen penthouse apartment's in New York (on here) for between $56,000.000 - $63,000.000 that offer views of the whole city. Including Central Park, Statue of Liberty. Hudson river etc. I prefer your view from the balcony for 1 Euro. Your child looks to have a very happy disposition bless her. All the best to you. If there was a choice between rural and urban, for me, there is no choice. Rural wins every time. I keep expecting to see Inspector Montalbano in the streets.
The tile and floor is magnificent!!!! I can’t wait to see it transform back into a home.
Guys, i'm shocked! You just done a stunning decision, to buy such wonderful property for just one euro. It's been a super smart idea, and will afford you to have the right place to grow the entire family. Standing ovation for you... (greetings from Zagarolo, Italy)
Thanks so much!
Absolutely stunning very sensible! And why not? That view my mouth hit the floor I had to pause it !!!! 😭 can’t wait to see it when it’s cleaned and furnished etc
@leaw
Congratulations, wishes for splendid life together💐. Please make a video to show us the fixing work processes of the house 🎉 I want you to discuss with followers whether you better to (1) demolish to ground and build a NEW house from scratch OR (2) fixing the old house?
Congratulations! I love everything about it! The architecture of the home...the walls, the tiles, the ceiling heights, the doors, the view...amazing! I can't wait to follow your progress!
Oh my, I’m so excited that you purchased this home. What a dream, so roomy and lots of potential.
Luce and the kittens really warms my heart. It reminds me of Maui where there are many feral cats. I’m sure many were lost in the ravaging fires, so seeing Luce sharing her bread brings tears to my eyes. My family lived on Maui for over 30 years, so have been having a hard time with the loss.
I am so sorry for your familie's loss. I have been to Maui and am sad for the destruction and more importantly the loss of lives. ❤
💔 for all of Maui, much love & good wishes❣️
PS-Thanks for thinking of the forgotten like the wonderful cats & all life❕️❕️❕️
Will you ever sleep for the next year?! So excited for you!!! I love the tile the floor the view, everything! I can see that basement with the jars full of what Sarah will be canning from the property. And what a wonderful place for Luce. That footage at the end of her walking alone brought tears to my eyes. Her future is destined to be magical. Pace yourself during this wonderful time and get your rest. This is so very wonderful. Love Luce’s curls! And her ☝️
Sending hugs and wishes for nothing but smooth sailing on all your hard work. ⚒️🪚🍇❤
OMGOSH what a beautiful house! I can’t tell you how happy I am for you! The stars are in alignment! Luce’s infection of love with animals and especially cats is amazing. Sending lots of love! ❤
Absolutely breathtaking..The potential this beautiful home has…..and the views !!!! Best of luck!!!💛
I love all of your energy. When my husband and I inherited a little house with beautiful land going down to a river people thought we were crazy…it has one closet but the beautiful land makes up for ant flaws. I was holding my breath with the kitties but Luce was gentle. ❤❤❤
What a gorgeous property! Can't wait to see your improvements. :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful little girl & you two are a beautiful couple. You will all do well with the renovation. So happy for you all ❤
Beautiful family best of luck with your new adventures! 🤗
OMG! I am sooo very happy that you found this beautiful house in Sicily! You two have persevered and now you have found a treasure! You could not do any better! I have followed you for two years and gone through your hard times, I rejoice in your good health and wise decisions for you all!
You have great courage and will do a beautiful job to connect with your community and we will all be there for you with likes and conversations! I am 81 and love watching your videos which teach people to go on in life and step by step , day by day your adventure will happen!
You are raising a beautiful little girl in a beautiful area of tge wirld!
👏❤️👍😁👏❤️❤️❤️
I wish you guys all the very very best. An exciting renovation project and hopefully successful. Love to see these little villages revived by young families moving in. Help preserve the wonderful regional culture of Italy.
Thanks so much! Here you can see the beginning of the renovation ua-cam.com/video/GGNe71H_xdo/v-deo.htmlsi=UCrMqz99KAuHPISf
But why is she not wearing bra and showing nipple in thumbnail ?@@leaw
Hello lovely people! Your daughter is absolutely adorable. Congratulations on your new home, btw the views from your balcony and the quiet little ancient village are stunning! Best wishes for the reconstruction there will be hurdles for sure but once overcome will be the more reason for pride joy and happiness! 💗
Luce is going to have a wonderful life growing up near the ocean and surrounded by incredible ancient history. She has so much personality and her love of animals is adorable. You can see she is trying to communicate with the camera when you guys are talking to the camera too.😂 The best part is she is healthy and happy with two parents who love her so much. What more could she ever need. 🥰 Good luck with the home renovations. I can't wait to see what you do with the place.
Yah nothing beats that time rome killed Jesus 😂😂😂
Oh my god guys. So excited for you. This is another brilliant idea and exciting venture. Your house has so much character and those two front rooms are sooooo gorgeous. Luce is a right little cat whisperer now isn't she! 😅 So great that you gave both the pros and cons of the 1 euro thing. Can't wait to follow your progress. Congratulations 🎉
Thanks so much!! ❤ Here you can see the beginning of the renovation ua-cam.com/video/GGNe71H_xdo/v-deo.htmlsi=UCrMqz99KAuHPISf
First video I’m watching from you guys & I can honestly say I’m very impressed with the projects you’ve taken on even with a young child. Your daughter is absolutely adorable btw. The ending with her feeding the stray cats 🥹🥹 Too cutee
What a lovely house! The little room without windows could have the door to the room, with 3 panels, take the top panel out and put frosted glass instead to let light in. Look at Luce walking, how sweet ❤
I was surprised that you bought another house, but I can totally see why. Makes good sense. Are you allowed to add extra windows to these old structures, if they look and confirm with the rest of the windows? It’s nice to have the children’s room next to your bedroom. You guys are such an adorable family, you put a big smile on my face. Your little girl is very precious, so happy and well loved. 🥰
The baby girl is so adorable 😍 her smile is so cute
@EvaFluer...
😱🤢🙈
Congrats! A house with "good bones." It's good to see you both so happy!
Thank you!! 😊
What a precious little girl Luce is! I just love the way she smiles and laughs in the camera! What a beautiful legacy you are building for her. Kudos to you. I would have bought that house in an instant!! I'm already imagining it full of houseplants.
I remember about two or three years ago, right before/during COVID, I saw these listings for the 1 Euro homes, and you need to dedicate a certain amount of time or money to rebuild the home to rebuild the area and thought it was too good to be true. Awesome to randomly come across this years later!!
Quite impressive indeed. Two foot thick walls minimum! It actually is very beautiful. I love it. You will make it just perfect. Welcome to Sicily!!! Cannot wait to see it’s progress. Life is beautiful…and all your hard work and consistent restorations are truly paying off! 👏👏👏
The house you bought for 1 Euro will look amazing when you restore it!!! And the sea view is amazing!!! Adorable Luce, laughing and playing with the cats!!! See you next tiem!!! Big hug!!!!
Wow! Congrats! My opinion I would breakdown the wall between the kitchen, kids play room, bedroom and make it a big living room and kitchen all together and use the other room where you said it was the living room now make that a bedroom. But either way it’s going to be beautiful. How exciting! Can’t wait to see your renovation. 😇
The house is going to be beautiful once your done. What a fantastic opportunity for your family! Luca is such a happy little girl, and so cute!
Land and a home with a view of the sea. Very blessed family! Now get to work! Congratulations!
I'm new to your channel. Wishing you and your family the best of luck with your renovation. Beautiful home. Your baby is so adorable and a happy baby.
Such exciting news of the new home! I love being able to see another part of the world. Love Luce's affection towards kitties! Just precious!!
This is so awesome for you!!! I love the way Luce was helping you tell us about the new property! She is ADORABLE. Thank you for bringing Sicily (where my Mom's family is from) to UA-cam where I can see all the history and beauty of the land my family is from! Graci!!!
Just wondering if you all were effected by all the bad weather! I have been praying for your safety and for all the others affected. I watched the old video from Mexico. But that alarmed me that maybe things weren’t well with you ! I will continue to lift you up in prayer!🙏💕🙏
Incredibly charming! You guys will make it beautiful…..congratulations on your new home and olive grove 🍃🫒🍃
Thank you so much!
I’m so excited to see your new house transformation. What a great idea to buy the house in the village so you will have some where to live while you are fixing up your olive grove and building a home on your land. I love watching your beautiful daughter as she grows and develops. She is so smart how she interacts with the camera. I’m new to your channel so I don’t usually comment but I wanted you to know how much I enjoy seeing Luce each week. From grandma Cheryl in Australia. 😊
