Kevin Onsite: Puglia: The Villa

David and Leonie have worked tirelessly for the last four years to create this sanctuary. With the business up and running they can finally return to their own work as artists and sit back and enjoy the Puglian lifestyle.

They've worked a miracle here and they have done it on a budget on just £25,000. That's for everything. So how have they done it?

Well they've embedded themselves in the local culture here, they've got to know people, they've bought local materials - they've also had loads of help from friends and family.

But the success of this place, I think, is really down to their own effort, their own inconsiderable artistic talents - those are the two most important things.

Human energy and human talent have the most transformative effect.

  1. The Grand Design Villa in Puglia is my inspiration as I tackle my own project converting some Pig stys and chicken Houses into a home. However I cant find it on DVD. Does anyone know which DVD it is on and where can I get it? All the best with your projects or dreams. Malc

  8. As someone who has been building in stone for a fair few years I just wanted to say what a fantastic job you made of your project, its nice to see a housebuilder who actually builds rather than pretending to be a "foreman" Makes to want build in Italy next for the stone and the sun! Nige
