Farms Villa
From City Slickers to Off-Grid Dreamers 🌱
Welcome to Farms Villa — your digital gateway to the charm, chaos, and creativity of off-grid living in Southern Italy. What started as a fantasy of self-sufficiency has become our real-life adventure, and we're bringing you along for every win, fail, and facepalm moment.
We live in two fully equipped homes on 2.5 acres, completely off-grid yet enjoying all the modern comforts:
💧 Flushing toilets
🔥 Underfloor heating
🍳 Full electric kitchens
🌬️ Air conditioning
📱 Home automation
…all powered by sun and ingenuity.
Our mission? To prove that living off-grid doesn’t mean giving up comfort — and to share everything we learn (and unlearn) along the way.
Through our videos, you’ll explore DIY projects, rural tech setups, self-sufficiency experiments, and a few epic fails—all served with a good laugh and total honesty.
👉 Join us as we build, grow, fix, and fumble our way toward total self-reliance. It’s off-grid life, Farms Villa style.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you all know we are still alive. Just taking a short break from posting videos. Mandy has her hands full with all the harvesting and canning and I have started a new role which is taking up a lot of my time. Normal video releases will commence once we clear our backlog! 😊

It would appear that the counter offensive in the great Algae war is yielding results! Casualties on our side have been high. Countless litres of liquid Chlorine and Algae killer later and the enemy is in full retreat. The leaky pump has been repaired and we are all systems go for the first splash next week! 😁
