Ollolai is one of those beautiful villages in Italy overwhelmed by depopulation, but recently something has changed and now you can find some unusual inhabitants: they are young Dutch people who participated in a reality show<\/a>. Thanks to the village’s initiative to sell some houses for a symbolic value of 1\u20ac, in exchange for the commitment to renovate them within three years, a national network in Holland has decided to choose 5 couples and to follow their new life in the Sardinian village.

He has transformed an old building in the heart of Istria into a truly unique and special house and accommodation, all without having particular skills. He purchased a plant for solar energy and water collection and recovered everything possible: wooden beams, used furniture, old tiles. And there’s also a bio-pool!

The dream of a stone house<\/h2>\n

Straw is an inexpensive building material with a high thermal and acoustic insulation power. Above all, it is ecological. In Italy, from Emilia to Sardinia, there are those who have chosen it to build their own home and ecobnb<\/a>.
