Marco, as usual you managed to elevate a sense of adventure and longing for visiting this beautiful region of Italy, if not acquiring a small piece to call my own. Much appreciation and respect for your understated manner of presenting these wonderful properties as well as enlightening us on yet more Italian history. Grazie mille!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! My goal with these videos is not only show the stupendous beauty these places offer but also to transmit the passion that I have for this territory. I know the dedication is worth it all when I hear that that enthusiasm is felt by my viewers. 🙏
Love your videos! I already bought my 1st Puglian home and I can't wait to get there!! Also, thank you for telling us the prices of things again, like food. It's really helpful for people to get a real picture of some of the costs of living there. That $3.50 breakfast would be double where I'm currently at.
@@olgasampis9745 he mentioned it in the video. $3.5 for cappuccino and pastichoto. Lunch was $18 for the fresh catch fish and beer...which was a little pricey for lunch.
Always a pleasure seeing the properties you show as well as the towns, food, architecture. You have an excellent sense of composition visually and you do an outstanding job Very special properties
I always have to comment love that you are reviewing beautiful places in Italy and I love that you walk around the town but mostly I love watching you eat all the delicious food it’s great thanks for sharing
Castro is a beautiful town but gets extremely busy in the summer so having private parking makes this property quite rare and manageable to live in and/or achieve a very high rental price for the area. Love your wonderful presentations around Salento thank you for sharing.
Grazie! Both properties are pretty darned special. The ceilings in that first one were magnificent. As you walked through I imagined what I would do with it. The second, with that rather large outdoor space and spectacular views of the Ionian and beyond... the colours... absolutely perfecto!
Had not seen any videos from you in a while. Had to look you up to see how I missed your excellent videos. Love your editing and content. Thanx. Gina in Upstate New York spanning the glove and landing in portugal but theres nothing like Italy. I spent 2 months in southern Italy Calabria and Puglia this winter. Nothing like it having everything to yourself. LOVE LOVE LOVE can't wait to get back
The outdoor area of the 2nd house is great. Beautiful views! What disappointed me a bit was the predominant baby blue accents inside the villa. This gives it the appearance of a daycare center and that detracts from this beautiful villa...
Beautiful Beach Villa. Loved it. You also taught me something about my maiden name that is Castro That would be the perfect town for me. Thank you once again for the great showing and explanations Ciao
Check this out, Marco 12:18: "... stairs are in GRANITE..." not sure if you can treat this granite with radon to find out if radiation is present. They still use it in construction business in the USA for kitchen and bathroom flooring and countertops. 🤔 BTW, I love watching your video topic about homes, ristorante, and baked goods. So elegant😍🥰
Hi I live in Salento (Galatina) and if I might give you a suggestion you should look for less tourists areas. There's way too many confusion and noise on Summer in Castro so go better for the area around Santa Maria di Leuca or all the area south of Ugento. It's quite empty in the Winter, but in Summer you will enjoy better without people caos hehe.
You have become so Dutch! 4:32 you see a small space and immediately think bicycle parking haha but yes I agree it could be good for bicycle parking (and storing some boxes). Great video once again. I like it that you show the prices. 18 euros for a lunch and 4 euros for a small coffee and snack is not that extremely cheap but affordable compared to the Netherlands. Thanks for sharing!
Are there renovation codes in Castro which limit the extent modifications can be made to these historic buildings? Might be practical to make the bathroom and kitchen into an en suite/walk-in clothes closet, and the other room into an open concept living/dining/kitchen (although I didn’t see piping handy). Love your brilliant content!
I am not an architect but i am local to this area and i believe that "what happens inside stays inside" - always safe to speak to a local architect but my parents have made several changes to layout to their properties without ever needing to ask for permission. As long as you're not changing the overall sq. footage you should be ok and not break any laws.
Love your channel, hoping one day, we will be able to make the move to Italia. One thing that I have enjoyed is the background music you put on the videos. Is it possible to post the name of the songs and artists for the music you use. Keep up the good work we are really enjoying them.
If I may make a suggestion marco......post something on the community about when is the next video coming out......im sure your super busy.......but we would like to know if possible.....cheers
@@Justdreamitaly would love to take you around when you come.......instagram would be so good for you ......especially the way you make the videos......looking forward to the next one......have a nice day
I absolutely love you videos! It’s been a. Dream of mine since high school to move to Italy someday! Of all the places in southern Italy, where would you recommend to escape the both American winters? I’d love to be seaside, with lots of history and outdoor activities to do. I lol forward to every video that you make!!
Hey...I found you through the Think Media and Video Ranking Academy and Sean is having you on his Challenge Show right now. Can you please tell me what type of camera you are using and what editing system? Oh, and I have one more question (if I may) about the background music....what soundtrack company are you using and how are you finding these classical pieces are available to licensing? I looked on Epidemic Sound and can't find classical music like this. I love your videos :)
Def not the second one, even it's renovated. It's not Italian, it could be in any country. Worst of all is the kitchen in the living room! That's a big no no. The castle is beautiful and the Adriatic sea is beautiful, but....
Wow. That second property is what Italian dream homes are made of. Just the right scale for me.

@@salinabelieves ohh yes, I meant the properties?
Your video editing gets better with each video. Some truly spectacular location shots. Love it.
Always a pleasure seeing the properties you show as well as the towns, food, architecture. You have an excellent sense of composition visually and you do an outstanding job Very special properties
You are doing a superb job for the tourism and real estate industry of your region. Keep it up. And yes, properties with sea views...

Buenos días ☀️
from Calabasas. Every property you show us is exquisite and charming. Gracias ✨
That second one is gorgeous, and I dream of having a sea view, but the price is jaw-dropping. I should hope all the furnishings come with.
Ciao!
Two lovely properties, but that second one takes the cake. Well done again thank you for showcasing these properties.
I love the videos. The food, beautiful cities and lovely houses.
I love your passion for architecture and the homes you show are always wonderful ! Thank you !
Marco , I’m a retired real estate investor…….
I just wanted to comment on your videos.
They are fantastic !!!!!
Very high quality …..👍🏼
What a stellar location in both cases, but that last one...wow!
Grazie! Both properties are pretty darned special. The ceilings in that first one were magnificent. As you walked through I imagined what I would do with it. The second, with that rather large outdoor space and spectacular views of the Ionian and beyond... the colours... absolutely perfecto!
Your videos are so beautifully written, shot edited and produced, makes me want to sell everything, pack my bags and head to Puglia.
Grazie 🙏
Another good video. I am surprised you don’t have more subscribers, but keep with it and they will come

Yes, we are all wondering what happened to you Marco? Tutto apposto?
The outdoor area of the 2nd house is great. Beautiful views! What disappointed me a bit was the predominant baby blue accents inside the villa. This gives it the appearance of a daycare center and that detracts from this beautiful villa...
So re-paint it.
That second house is wonderful
The 2nd home is Absolutely Perfect, I love it ❤!!
I'm in love with the first property and location.
Wanted to say you were great on Think Media today
Always just love love LOVE these videos! Seeing your perspective on the area as well as the properties is just so valuable.
Beautiful area! Both nice properties, the second one is spectacular!
Wow that second home is soo beautiful 😍 🌞❤️
I really love the content you create.....love from goa again......looking forward to the next video as always
Always look forward to your videos. Keep working hard!

🤣 It’s definitely a sign! In every home I see I’m always looking for where I would keep my bikes!
@@Justdreamitaly If I will buy a house in Southern Europe then I will definitely also look at cycling possibilities! Not everybody does that :)

those are both super!!

House #2 stunning
Love your channel, hoping one day, we will be able to make the move to Italia.
One thing that I have enjoyed is the background music you put on the videos.
Is it possible to post the name of the songs and artists for the music you use.
Keep up the good work we are really enjoying them.
Lovely, but soooooo beyond my budget.💜☮✝☮💜
Perfect.
I'm sold!!!
Hey there, just checking to make sure you’re OK. Haven’t seen a new video in a month or so now just checking on you hoping everything’s OK.
Thanks for checking in. Been busy working on a few projects and with clients. Some special episodes and homes are on their way 🙂👌.
If I may make a suggestion marco......post something on the community about when is the next video coming out......im sure your super busy.......but we would like to know if possible.....cheers
You beat me to it :-).
@@Justdreamitaly cheers from goa india.......also do you have a Twitter or something?

Nice property, that second one. But zero Italian character.
€18 for lunch? Where I live it would’ve been $18 for breakfast 😂
$$$but ideal. Don't suppose there are any within budget on the sea, non renovated with indoor plumbing.
Was price of second home 590k? Does it have washer/dryer? So lovely! ❤
Fantastic places Marco!! Do you live in Pulia? Cheers Kirk
How much were these? I can't find details
It is quite ironic that tomorrow we plan to visit Castro. Where did you eat the frittura?
It’s called Portu Vecchiu. Enjoy the visit!
Grazie Mille. I wonder where you will take us next week 😂
Beautiful video are you using for top view?
So sorry I misspelled Ciao
€340k for a one bedroom reno in puglia ! Somebody needs a reality check
The second one not my taste, but, oh, the first one (without the mezzanine)... I can only dream!
Posso chiederti dove hai imparato l'inglese?
Prices lease?
Saya melihat vidio kamu bagus ❤
