We lost €15,000 trying to build our dream life in Spain… and for a moment, it felt like everything was over. This is the story of how it all fell apart — and how it unexpectedly led us here… to a small village in Italy, starting over from zero. We are Nicolas and Bieke, a Belgian couple with two small dogs — Miguel & Mirabel. In 2025, we sold everything and moved from Belgium to Italy to buy and restore two old stone houses in the mountains of Umbria. This channel documents the real journey of buying property in Italy as foreigners — from the house search and paperwork to renovating a ruin step by step and building a new life abroad. 🌿 On this channel you’ll find: – buying a house in Italy – the real cost of moving to Italy – renovating old stone houses in Umbria – navigating Italian laws and bureaucracy – learning Italian as beginners – expat life in rural Italy with two dogs No romantic filters. No “Instagram Italy.” Just the honest process of starting over in another country. Our long-term goal is to transform these stone houses into a small boutique B&B and retreat space in the Italian countryside. 🎬 New documentary-style episodes every 2 weeks.
