It's so nice when people take the before and after photos from the exact same angle.

[@paulcappelli8455]

Thank you!

[@amysmith4424]

I held my breath each time the after photos were about to show and then just said "Wow". Every time!

[@colleeninprayer1498]

Yes I enjoyed viewing the restoration that way as well.

[@franzgrabe1]

The whole world needs people like you! Well done for all the patience, hard work, commitment and vision! I hope you are enjoying every second in the villa!

[@paulcappelli8455]

Thank you. We certainly are.

[@VillaCappelliItaly]

We enjoy sharing with people like you! That's the real reward!

[@freyallarganswald4746]

Absolutely beautiful restoration. You have stayed true to the character and age of the house. I would love to live in a place like this 🤗

So true! Congratulations! Such beautiful old architecture! It goes hand in hand with a quality of life.

[@raffaellavitiello1762]

Splendid job, well done in all details. Did not lose its caractere, love everything, thank you for sharing!

[@VillaCappelliItaly]

Thanks so much, Raffaella. We really appreciate that!

[@craig_ramjet990]

You are one remarkable lady to have survived that project. This is probably the best renovation/restoration I have seen. Excellent taste in furniture and decor. The geometry catches the eye and the colors and textures really score. I am very happy to see someone's dream build come true. We have looked in that area for a small house.

[@sylviaseri4235]

Gorgeous! I am of Italian descent and would love to have a home in Naples where my family was from. You did an amazing job and your labor of love shows!

[@paulcappelli8455]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@zeothorn]

You better start planning now as it will take least 13 years to have something like that!

[@michaelbennett9359]

Simply stunning ! This is surely a better experience restoring the past rather than knocking it down and building something new. You have given the villa a place in history again Thank you

[@paulcappelli8455]

Thank you so much. I hope we are just the caretakers for the next generation.

[@sidneyjohnson6895]

Bellissimo ... tastefully done from the Villas historical structure to its present essence of class and splendor. I really like the attention to detail and character infused in every section. A creative vision that comes to life.

When I see a project like this I have a lot of respect and admiration for the person who was willing to take it on. I mean its not easy and extremely costly, but the end result is so beautiful

[@andreamarr7213]

There should be an award for people like yourselves. I think this is a huge contribution in a throwaway World. I can see you inspiring so many. Truly a labour of love.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Just beautiful, it kills me when historical buildings are just left fall apart

[@dcforever3537]

i always wonder why no country rebuilt a city like rome and how it was.imagine how beautiful that would be instead of those large ugly buildings.theres always something beautiful and magical about old historical buildings.imagine if they build a city like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKikiGtmfqaGoq8

[@marynichols438]

I love what you've done with the place. A vision realized with lots of hard and time. I appreciate that you kept the character of the home in place. I believe that some of the previous owners would be astonished upon seeing their old home restored. I think that they would feel at home even though you have softened the rough edges of the old place. Well done!

[@paulcappelli8455]

Thank you so much. I hope that would be true.

13 years of reconstruction with Italians ???? You should have hired some Eastern European craftsmen, they would make it half of the years for half of the money! 😂😂

Yeah, but that would have pissed off the locals. Every area there has got its own construction racket.
