Ohh... This place is heartbreakingly beautiful. The ivy on the steps, the jumble of plants and creepers is absolutely my kind of house. I can only imagine what it would be like living there. "Go back to your garden plot sweetheart, Go back til the evening falls. Tie up your lilies and train your vines, til you for the Master calls." I would always and only have old and worn, and conveying the necessary up by whatever means, would be infinitesimal compared to the joy and blessing of actually living there. I can dream can I not? Thank you so much Nick.
what a grand perch this lovely lovely place is! it's placement is idyllic! honestly it is well deserving of fresh updating and making the space even grander than it is already--because the bones of it are superb. that walkway and garden space is beyond epic, that view is stunning in beauty, and that house is a tucked away getaway to ease body and mind. with some tender loving care brought to her again she will shine even more! this property is a fantastic find nick!
I’m so glad you’ve shown one on Capri. This summer will be my 1st visit. To hear you talk about it is fabulous and this house is stunning. Great price and endless possibilities!
It really is paradise!! And considering it's on Capri, the price wasn't too shocking😅 Thank you Nick, you do an amazing job each week!! You keep us wanting more...
What I appreciate about your chosen gems to share with us, Nick, is your unique, blended perspective of gorgeous old (that can't be replicated) features and opportunities for gorgeous new updates that can make living in a property and/or time sharing it as a private b & B is always spot on. Right planning, right budget, right builders, and in a year? Prego! An upgrade to last another hundred years and passing the ownership baton again with good taste and elegance crossing an indoor/outdoor threshold of a beautiful, natural personal sanctuary. Every property you highlight? I imagine the feeling of choosing the right fit space for a day's writing done followed by an amazing meal with good friends. Thank you!
@@italianproperty Thank you, Nick! I appreciate you and how you manage to save my sanity whenever I take a break dial into your latest find. Actually, healing and restful and truly appreciated. I miss traveling focused on writing and speaking, and I do so love Italy!
What a charming home. Yes it does need some personal touches, but the bones are glorious. Love the gardens. Those windows leading to the outside space are wonderful. Thank you Nick for showcasing this beauty.
Gorgeous , The bones are beautiful ! Love to see what someone does with this property ,before and after. Thank you Nick ,Always a lovely start to Saturday ❤🇨🇦
The courtyard provides a million dollar view ! The arched windows ! The curved bathroom ! The secret garden ! I will daydream about this one till next Saturday !
I see a potentially beautiful and unique home. Adore the three large windows, the domed and curved bathroom and the terraces. Be interesting to see the ground floor apartment too. Must visit Capri soon - it was a favourite haunt of my family in the fifties and sixties, but I have never been. Thanks again Nick for another delightful exploration into Italian property.
Quite a place of dreams to disappear into the green and blue ~ Love the light and windows- and wide landscape views...oh, wait... I did scream a bit 😂...updating needed! Such a Fantastic Adventure to Dream upon...you are so right Nick, Paradise awaits! Well done Nick! 🌺 and Very Truly Sorry to hear of your dear family/close friend Peter passing. 🙏😔😪 Sending you warm comforting thoughts and Prayers. My Deepest Sympathies to you Nick💖. Very sad. Dealing with Stage 4 metastasized Cancer myself and hanging on with everything I have to stay here in this Life....so I know how hard life can be. Holdfast to those you Love and Kiss them and hold them tight; never let them go 🌺🙏💖!
Dear Yasmin, I am so sorry for my late reply to your beautiful comment. Yes, Peter was a true friend for 25+ years. I miss him. Bless you. Thanks you so much. Best wishes, Nick. I'm also so sorry to hear your news. Can you email me please. info@abodeitaly.com. Address your email to me and someone will make sure I see it. Thank you.
That’s a beautiful home. Yes the kitchen is tiny, but I very much like how it’s set up. I might not change anything except the countertops. If $ were not an object, changing the layout a smidge and removing the kitchen to the great room with the windows would be my choice. It’s just lovely.
I totally agree. I used to make ceramics on Capri in the summers so I know what I'd do to the bathroom walls! Like Nick says, most people are too heavy handed on these old houses, bc they can afford it, and don't think twice. But there's a certain charm to the original Island style of keeping things simple, not to be underestimated, imo. The true Capri lifestyle isn't like a huge luxury suite at the Hotel Quisisanna, although the US Jetset seem to think so. This place needs some TLC not total remake at all. Simple cabinets and marble counters and proper equipment, bathrooms need a facelift and garden some tending but really, it shouldn't be too altered or decked out to forreign tastes. This place has all the quintessential historic Caprese qualities that stand alone and don't need messing with.
Like many of your viewers, I always try and guess the price of featured properties. Even with the visible needed repairs and updates, I thought this would easily list for quite a bit more, being Capri, of course. A decent value for a piece of paradise.
Oh, that's a raw gem which needs caerful and thoughtful carving with plenty of love. And that garden area - oh my! Not to speak about the view over the sea and island. With that the price is reasonable, although the above-mentioned carving will alsocost a bit... ;) Thanks agian for this tour, Nick. Take care. Greetings from DE Joachim
Love, love, love Caprie and this property ❤️ Beautiful ❣️ You're awesome. Also, I want to congratulate you on your award.🎉 I hope to buy property in Italy soon. Thanks for all you, Debi Chow ❤
Oh I would love to have a home on Capri ... that garden, the view, oh so beautiful. A lot of TLC and that house will be off the charts stunning! Dang, the price is amazing. Put another 300-500,000 euro into it and for 1.3M euro, you have an amazing property on CAPRI!!!! Dang, that's a dream.
Charmy property. Certainly it need a lot of care, and a good restauration. Anyway it have a lot of potential. Lovely terraces and garden. And whata view !!! Thank you Nick for show this property, nice Job.
The layout needs serious rethinking. Lot of wasted space and tiny bedrooms. But, those tiles! They are pristine and so beautiful. Thanks for showing this one. The location is stunning.
It would be great if you can do a video of what your life was like before moving to Italy and getting into the real-estate business in Italy! Love these videos even though I can't afford to buy one of these homes lol😅
Wow! I moved from London to Capri in 2004. Prior to that I founded a company called Domus Nova. Not sure if I'm ready for a retrospective, but I appreciate your idea. I like your YT name. Best wishes and so sorry for the delay. Nick
Capri is wonderful. You were very fortunate to have lived there. This property has a ton of potential. I agree about moving the kitchen. I also would combine the first two bedrooms. I would really like to see once the property (both inside and outside) has been renovated. The views will be even better. I thought the price would be higher, but it's still too rich for me. Nick, grazie mille!
This was really a great video Nick! That walkway was just beautiful. I love that front room with those arched windows. Capri is a really beautiful island. Thank you for the tour!❤
Great visit! I can understand the small kitchen… you don’t carry a lot walking up hill. So a few provisions for small meals and snacks, the rest is dining out every night. But that leads to the question… If I employ a builder and/or decorator… how do they get everything up there that they need to do a decent renovation job? And gardening…where and how does one deal with the cuttings, clippings and trimmings?
Hi Edward, Most of the building works happen in the fall and winter months. There are electric carts to bring materials to the house. Hope this helps and thanks for your comment. Best wishes, Nick.
Ahh, Capri! So beautiful to look out over the sea. The Italian coast always makes me think of the Giuseppe Verdi quote, “You may have the universe if I may have Italy.” Amen. I love those magnificent windows! A fixer-upper with great potential, and what a beautifully updated home it could turn into. I agree with enlarging the kitchen (sink under the window to make washing up delightful with that view! 🙂). You took us by flight to Portugal and by train to the coast. We are lucky to have you as our “one-take” host! Thank you, Nick. ☺
Thank You Nick for bringing me back to my old stomping grounds. There are some of the most amazing villas on Capri. I lived in Monte di Procida 2003-2005 & then I lived in Chiaia Naples 2006-2013… I’ve spent a good deal of time with my Italian friends here, as well as, my ex BF & I spent summers in Ischia. Procida & Vivara are also lesser Know gems too. 🥰 I was back in Naples the first week of October for a couple days & boy has it changed. I always look forward to your videos. I’m hoping one day I’ll be coming back for my own new home. ✨💛✨
Hi Lana, So sorry for my late reply. Wow, what an amazing experience. I also lived on Capri for a year and I also LOVE Napoli. Yes, you're right, it has changed, although driving without a crash helmet and not stopping for traffic lights still thankfully keeps the city alive and gives it that wild, untamed feeling. Best wishes, Nick.
Oh, by the way Nick I wanted you to know that I have watched the Lake Como video like a thousand times. I really lost count. You totally messed me up with that one. Hahahahahahahahah Jersey Lou
I was expecting a much bigger price tag Nick. I love the whole home and secret garden. Not spooky quirky but a good fixer upper. Thanks for the excellent one take. Have a great week. 🌦❤️🇦🇺🦘
You have lost a lot of weight. You look fabulous! I hope you are as well as you look. PS. Still ADORE watching your videos. We'll never buy in Italy. But you make it so much fun to dream! Thank you❤
Nick, that was a truly wonderful tour. I was expecting a price north of 1 million. Once refurbished, this property will be utterly gorgeous. Sunset washed down with Campari 😁.
Hello Nick , In the beginning of your video while looking at Positano you said hello Nikki . Did you mean Nikki Positano and her husband Carlos On you tube? If you did that’s so great I’ve been watching their videos for a couple of years and they’ve been looking to buy a house in Tuscany and I referred them to you. That would be something to watch the three of you looking at houses together. Anyway I love this property and the details especially that tiled floor so beautiful. I think in the bigger bedroom looking at the garden I’d take out the window and put a French door instead. There’s so much you could do with this property. Let’s hope the right person will love it back to the gorgeous home it should be. I love it! Thankyou once again have a beautiful blessed day 😃🙏🦋🐝🌹🚤🐟
I'm pretty sure he did mean Nikki and Carlo of Positano Diaries! I enjoy watching both channels so much. I have commented about the two blogs collaborating as well and both winked and smiled. At this point just a meet up and lunch between them would be fun for viewers. ...another great video Mr. Nick at Italian properties. Always a wonderful vlog!
@@shellysmith8150 Well Shelly it seems we have great taste in choosing who to spend some of our time with hahaha. Wouldn’t it be great to see them all together looking for a house? Such wonderful people they make my day. I hope you have a blessed day . 😁💐
Hi Lois, So sorry for my delay. Been away and lots going on. Yes, I spoke to Nikki about her search for property in Tuscany. Hopefully one day I will meet Carlos and Nikki. Love Positano. Have a great week. Best wishes, Nick.
If I were twenty or thirty years younger! A twenty-minute uphill walk to and from my abode is no longer a viable situation...alas!...I can see this as a magnificent home and vacation place for family and friends...just lovely!
Nick, congratulations on another superb video and bringing much deserved attention to this beautiful property. It needs some attention and I would make the 1/2 bedroom into an ensuite and use the separate bathroom as a walk-in wardrobe. The wall in the kitchen can be removed to the second reception room, making an excellent space for an entertainers kitchen with dining area. All this attention would deliver a beautiful home. Mark & Michelle 😎🤓🥂
Great video, Nick! Yes Capri is fantastic! Loved the reception area, specially the flooring! It would have been interesting and fantastic to have been able to see this property from above also, getting more understanding for proportions and surroundings. The history in Capri is so great, for example the Villa Jovis you mentioned. Thanks, Nick!
Holy Cow Nick!!! 800,000 euros!!! I didn't think I heard you correct so I had to rewind and listen again. Like you said this house needs work but it REALLY is beautiful. I can see this being turned into an absolute beauty of a house and gardens as well. Oh yeah I almost forgot that beautiful entrance or walk way at the beginning. I also agree with you about the kitchen (and you know how important that is to me) hahahaha!!! I have 2 questions 1. How far is the street from the house? 2. What about the apartment that you mentioned at the beginning? Is it available? # of bedrooms? Okay sorry more than 2 questions hahahah!! (I skipped school that day they taught us math). Great video and thanks a bunch!!!!! And take care. Your friend from across the pond Jersey Lou
That’s the stuff of my gardening dreams! I’ve wondered if folks use golf carts or similar to navigate. A twenty minute walk each way with groceries, supplies etc.. Evidently it’s doable in some fashion though.
You'd buy a place like this for 50.000 in Sipicciano (comune di Graffignano, provinvia Viterbo) Not Capri, but 1 hour and 20 minutes from Rome, close to Tuscany and still authentic. Only every so often a celebrity will pass by, so not like Capri, but at least affordable :-D and no walking like in Capri. That being said, If I was younger and loved being around tourists all day, I'd love to buy this place. It 's nice.
No! You are not making a kitchen in that cozy sitting room with fireplace. 😂😅😂😅 Good thing neither of us is in a position to buy this property, although the price is not as high as I expected. You could make a kitchen family area out of that first reception room, especially since it is so bright. Can the separate apartment be incorporated into the main house? To bad you couldn't show it. How many square meters is it? Thanks Nick! 😊
I did have a look inside but unfortunately there wasn’t enough time to shoot. Yes, I expect one could incorporate the two. I was told it was about 650k. Lovely courtyard. I did prefer the house above. Many thanks, Nick.
What a find Nick! Isn't it tough getting work done in such a place? There are no cars? It would be interesting to see what Capri has to offer apart from strange slacks and a fruit drink :) Another great one Nick, thank you!
In my mind's eye...I am in a white linen dress that is fluttering in a soft breeze while drinking a cold glass of my own lemonade and feeling the cool stones of the patio under my bare feet...sigh...Wow...thank you for that and for sharing such a beautiful property!!! ❤xo
Ciao Nick, what a beautiful place, a little bit of trimming in the garden, would be perfect. I would renovate all the areas that need it all in 1905 motif, I agree to enlarge the kitchen, again all in 1905, I really have to learn my conversations better, I fell over when you said 800.000 eros, I was expecting two million. Capri is my sister's favorite place in Italy. I sent her this video. Thanks for showing us this little GEM, hidden away on Capri. Love from N.Y.
That is an amazing property. Yes it could use some work (haha) but it is lovely. I'd like to get a hold of the garden with some shears and give it a haircut. Such a pretty location. So how do the owners of the other units get to their cars? By bike? Just wondering about getting groceries or deliveries there. Thanks again Nick this is a special place. Xo
800, 000? That's it?? For a 3 bedroom on an island paradise with west facing views, and a massive terraced garden??? Where do I sign? Ok, so that's the good bits out of the way, but yes, it's clear to see, the place needs a lot of work. The kitchen needs to be moved, as you said, from the bedroom closet to a bigger space. You mentioned this was all one villa at one point, so I'm guessing those bedrooms would have been the servant's quarters once, given the size of them. I would be curious to see the other apartments also, to see how the layouts differ (ground floor next week?). This place would really benefit from a professional architect's work to get full value for money.
Love this property!! I'll be in Capri in October, I wish I was going there to purchase this or another property, just going for small vacation. Hello to Nicki Positano, I subscribe to her channel, too. (PS: you have nice legs :) ) .
Ohh... This place is heartbreakingly beautiful. The ivy on the steps, the jumble of plants and creepers is absolutely my kind of house. I can only imagine what it would be like living there. "Go back to your garden plot sweetheart, Go back til the evening falls. Tie up your lilies and train your vines, til you for the Master calls." I would always and only have old and worn, and conveying the necessary up by whatever means, would be infinitesimal compared to the joy and blessing of actually living there. I can dream can I not? Thank you so much Nick.
Fantastic Nick! This is the type of property you bring to the searching public that we love: a diamond in need of polishing!
You are the Leonardo of property tours. Thank you.
Thank you Tony. 🙏😊N.

Lovely property in gorgeous surroundings.

Wow. Have fun. I would recommend Lo Sfizio. Great restaurant, great food, not too expensive. 🙏❤️😊Nick.
Still it's quite reasonable compared to any ocean views in California and it's Capri!!! A wonderful opportunity for someone ❤️
It really is paradise!! And considering it's on Capri, the price wasn't too shocking😅 Thank you Nick, you do an amazing job each week!! You keep us wanting more...
Thanks! 😃Best wishes, Nick.

Hi Lois, So sorry for my delay. Been away and lots going on. Yes, I spoke to Nikki about her search for property in Tuscany. Hopefully one day I will meet Carlos and Nikki. Love Positano. Have a great week. Best wishes, Nick.
Beautiful ❤️
If I were twenty or thirty years younger! A twenty-minute uphill walk to and from my abode is no longer a viable situation...alas!...I can see this as a magnificent home and vacation place for family and friends...just lovely!
Love it Nick. Oh why aren’t I rich? 💜
Thank you for my 21-minute Capri vacation. I hope whomever purchases this renovates it beautifully. Aloha!
Pleasure. 🙏❤️😊N.
Oh my gosh it’s so charming..would be a delight to own and fix up…Nick can you drive to the door?
No, you can only walk. Thanks for your comment. Best wishes, Nick.
Nick, congratulations on another superb video and bringing much deserved attention to this beautiful property.
It needs some attention and I would make the 1/2 bedroom into an ensuite and use the separate bathroom as a walk-in wardrobe. The wall in the kitchen can be removed to the second reception room, making an excellent space for an entertainers kitchen with dining area. All this attention would deliver a beautiful home. Mark & Michelle 😎🤓🥂
Thanks Mark. 🙏 Great ideas. ❤️ Best wishes to you both. N.
I adore this. I can see it done up properly. It would be precious.
Great video, Nick! Yes Capri is fantastic! Loved the reception area, specially the flooring!
It would have been interesting and fantastic to have been able to see this property from above also, getting more understanding for proportions and surroundings. The history in Capri is so great, for example the Villa Jovis you mentioned. Thanks, Nick!
Thanks Martin. 🙏❤️😊N.
Holy Cow Nick!!! 800,000 euros!!! I didn't think I heard you correct so I had to rewind and listen again. Like you said this house needs work but it REALLY is beautiful. I can see this being turned into an absolute beauty of a house and gardens as well. Oh yeah I almost forgot that beautiful entrance or walk way at the beginning. I also agree with you about the kitchen (and you know how important that is to me) hahahaha!!! I have 2 questions 1. How far is the street from the house? 2. What about the apartment that you mentioned at the beginning? Is it available? # of bedrooms? Okay sorry more than 2 questions hahahah!! (I skipped school that day they taught us math). Great video and thanks a bunch!!!!! And take care.

That’s the stuff of my gardening dreams! I’ve wondered if folks use golf carts or similar to navigate. A twenty minute walk each way with groceries, supplies etc.. Evidently it’s doable in some fashion though.
There’s a electric cart system. The nearest shop is only 5 minutes away. 🙏😊❤️N.
No road so can you use a motorized chair to get up to the house?
amazing love!price!
You'd buy a place like this for 50.000 in Sipicciano (comune di Graffignano, provinvia Viterbo) Not Capri, but 1 hour and 20 minutes from Rome, close to Tuscany and still authentic.
Only every so often a celebrity will pass by, so not like Capri, but at least affordable
:-D and no walking like in Capri.
That being said, If I was younger and loved being around tourists all day, I'd love to buy this place. It 's nice.
Thank you Barbara for your comment and so sorry for my delay. Best wishes, Nick.
800k euros….put another 500k into it and you have a 2 million Capri beauty.
No! You are not making a kitchen in that cozy sitting room with fireplace. 😂😅😂😅
Good thing neither of us is in a position to buy this property, although the price is not as high as I expected.
You could make a kitchen family area out of that first reception room, especially since it is so bright.
Can the separate apartment be incorporated into the main house? To bad you couldn't show it.
How many square meters is it?
Thanks Nick! 😊
I did have a look inside but unfortunately there wasn’t enough time to shoot. Yes, I expect one could incorporate the two. I was told it was about 650k. Lovely courtyard. I did prefer the house above. Many thanks, Nick.
What a find Nick! Isn't it tough getting work done in such a place? There are no cars? It would be interesting to see what Capri has to offer apart from strange slacks and a fruit drink :) Another great one Nick, thank you!
Thanks Mike 🙏 They have a good system. Electric carts. Don’t forget the limoncello 😊N.
In my mind's eye...I am in a white linen dress that is fluttering in a soft breeze while drinking a cold glass of my own lemonade and feeling the cool stones of the patio under my bare feet...sigh...Wow...thank you for that and for sharing such a beautiful property!!! ❤xo
Could I have a little Gin in my lemonade🙏❤️😊N.

Ciao Nick, what a beautiful place, a little bit of trimming in the garden, would be perfect. I would renovate all the areas that need it all in 1905 motif, I agree to enlarge the kitchen, again all in 1905, I really have to learn my conversations better, I fell over when you said 800.000 eros, I was expecting two million. Capri is my sister's favorite place in Italy. I sent her this video. Thanks for showing us this little GEM, hidden away on Capri. Love from N.Y.
Thank you Joni ❤️🙏😊 Nick.
That is an amazing property. Yes it could use some work (haha) but it is lovely. I'd like to get a hold of the garden with some shears and give it a haircut. Such a pretty location. So how do the owners of the other units get to their cars? By bike? Just wondering about getting groceries or deliveries there. Thanks again Nick this is a special place. Xo
You don't need a car on Capri. Nearest supermarket is a 10 minutes walk 😊 Best wishes, Nick.
wow
How do you do construction on the house with no road?
They have electric vehicles.
@@italianproperty electric vehicles? What sort?
Ahhh...a place I've actually BEEN to! And I've seen that home, too (from the outside)!
800, 000? That's it?? For a 3 bedroom on an island paradise with west facing views, and a massive terraced garden??? Where do I sign? Ok, so that's the good bits out of the way, but yes, it's clear to see, the place needs a lot of work. The kitchen needs to be moved, as you said, from the bedroom closet to a bigger space. You mentioned this was all one villa at one point, so I'm guessing those bedrooms would have been the servant's quarters once, given the size of them. I would be curious to see the other apartments also, to see how the layouts differ (ground floor next week?). This place would really benefit from a professional architect's work to get full value for money.
😊 Really enjoyed your comment. I will be going back, so let’s see what I can do. 🙏 Nick.
Wow a bargain, what a wonderful property in a sublime location. Jonathan N. Wales 🏴 ( currently holidaying in Montecchio. Ps Cortona is sublime)
Have a great holiday. 🙏😊Nick.
We can dream 😁
And I wish it is your debray
Love this property!! I'll be in Capri in October, I wish I was going there to purchase this or another property, just going for small vacation. Hello to Nicki Positano, I subscribe to her channel, too. (PS: you have nice legs :) ) .
Thank you. 🙏❤️😊N.

electric bike for access?
No, not allowed. 🙏❤️N.
I had a girlfriend from Capri... holidays were the best!

It is a lovely property in an idyllic island. But…….you need to be a millionaire to purchase and repair.
You seem cheap
