- Restoring an Italian Property? Want to restore an Italian Property? Need TIPS AND TRICKS on your ITALIAN RESTORATION PROJECT? Spend the day with me as we tour some great Italian Artisan companies and see an update to our Italian Restoration of our beautiful Palazzo in Tuscany.
You will need drinks and nibbles on this Italian Property video as it's the longest video I have ever made. Below you will find details to the Italian companies I visited. If you need help with anything please post a comment or send an email, address below.
This week I use a new camera (DJI Pocket 3) for some of the video. I apologise for the shaky footage at the bar. Also, in my opinion, it's too sharp. Let me know if you agree.
My name is Nick Ferrand and I love Italian Architecture, Italian design, Italian property and all things Italian.

Thank you SO much for your kind message. I look forward to meeting you. Best wishes, Nick. ❤️🙏
"Occasionally I cry when I come into this room..." That sentence pretty much explains why I love watching your videos. Well done for all your hard work, it looks stunning!
Yepp, correct, that's what I also thought
Yeap! Agreed! He's genuine in his 'awe' of these buildings/properties.
😀😀 thank you so much for watching and your kind comment. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was an incredible video. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home that you and Victoria are renovating. To be able to wake up everyday and walk this unbelievable home would be a dream come true. The Theater is to die for. You are such a sweet and caring person, your comment about occasionally crying when you come into the Theater is what makes your videos so special. You are so genuine in expressing your feelings for history, but also about the beauty nature has to offer. Every room is just amazing and I as well as all your followers cannot wait to see your finished home. I am so happy for you and Victoria, may you make glorious memories in this spectacular home. Thank you again for being so kind to share this wonderful journey with us.
The more I watch the more I love this guy. I'm going this summer for a month. Can't wait to see these things for myself.
"We are custodians of the property." What a respectful perspective. Fine custodians you will be.
❤️🙏😊
One of my favorite things in life is to witness someone living their passion.
❤️
the way you convey your respect for beauty and enthusiasm is touching. thank you ❤
🙏🙏🙏 thank you 🙏🤗🤗🤗
Nick, that room is a masterpiece. How fortunate I feel to have seen it; but you? How blessed you are to be it's custodian.
Thank you. 🤗🙏❤️
I am not ashamed to say your theater or ballroom brought me to tears of being overwhelmed by its regal beauty . My wife and talked about who did the planning, painting etc and on and on. Literally a magical place in time and God bless you for being who you are and allowing future generations to enjoy its marvel.
So kind. Thank you so much. 🤗❤️🙏
Thank you for highlighting small companies and giving them credit they deserve! You sir are truly a gentleman!
Thank you. 🙏🤗❤️
I LOVE a drive and chat! Woo-hoo!! OMG! I love that vintage store!! Thank you soooo much for sharing the work you're doing on your own home! Your kitchen is gorgeous!! Love it. 💖💖
Thank you 🙏 really appreciate your support! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
This extended video is absolutely stunning and impressive from start to finish, Nick! Well done, indeed! Ti ringrazio per la condivisione! 10/10
Thank you. So sorry for my delay. 🤗🙏❤️
love the walk-thru of the fabrication shops and the progress of your beautiful home! The frescoe room would absolutely make me cry too thank you
Thank you so much! ☺️ 🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Oh Nick, this home is a mixture of all the houses you have shown us. Angels drew you to this property. You and your partner are very deserving of this spectacular space. Can’t wait to see what treasures you accompany it with. Nick good job.🇨🇦🥰
Thank you. 🤗🙏❤️
Okay. We simply stepped into another realm when you took us into that great hall/theatre. That is nothing short of jaw dropping, sir. 😮🌎💕👀
Oh what a wonderful treat! Thank you Nick. Viewing this from a freezing day in Dunedin New Zealand . I lost myself for 50.39 minutes in
a world of beauty. Your villa/castle is simply amazing, and due to your knowledge and impeccable taste, the final result will be so, so
breathtakingly exquisite. The tour was unique, both the restoration firm and sadly I could view the delicious pastries and bread but not
sample anything. A roadside cafe (truck stop) !!! surely only in Italy. Your garden will be hard work, but worth every single blister. A lover
of trees, you will be in your element - a heavenly place.🥰 Take care, Victoria.
It’s going to be stunning! The room with the gallery and frescoes is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Sublime! Plus a wonderful garden! ❤
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate your support 🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗
Lovely. Please show us again when it is furnished.
Absolutely. 🤗🙏❤️
Thank you for the great day. I was hoping your were going to show us an update on your restoration. Ciao!
Thank you 🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗
You have worked your ass off. It is just beautiful. I am so happy for you and your wife. You are creating such a beautiful home. My compliments.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and support. So appreciate it 😃🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
No music needed, it’s a masterpiece! ❤
Thank you so much! 😀🤗🤗🙏🙏
Yes, agree. Don't add music. And this is a musician speaking here. Except one day, when the concert hall/opera house/ballroom is finished and ready for some event. 💅💄👠🎒💃
waiting for a Christmas concert
Well, the home is coming along beautifully! I noticed along the back wall of the woodworkers shop there is what appears to be a tall antique piece with drawers that have handles that match your kitchen. It’s right under all of the hanging hinges & collected bits. Anyway, thank you for the glimpses into the artisans work spaces. Their love of their work is evident. 🥰
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely look next time!! Thank you for watching! 🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗
Perfect Saturday afternoon infotainment - thanks, Nick!
My pleasure. Sorry for my delay. 🤗❤️
What a great way to keep us engaged🎉🎉
Thank you. 🙏
Dear Nick,
As always I enjoy you weekly updates..
I can see why you are so emotional about the property you are restoring for you own use. It is really stunning.
There is only 1 small comment I have,
After watching your program for quite some time there is one thing you can now stop saying and that is “ the camera will adjust”.
You have great equipment and there really is no need to that anymore.
Best regards from The Netherlands,
Ben
Thanks Ben. 🤗❤️🙏
I splurged on paint brushes 35 years ago, and they're still in my brush arsenal. Your restoration project is looking good, thanks in part to artists like the crafts people you're working with.
Thank you. 🙏
Nick I just started watching and when you walked into Luigi's place the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and shouted 'woo,woo,woo!' Can't wait to see the rest!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this great video Nick, it absolutely warmed my heart. ♥️ My father was a contractor and I’m ...a meddler of construction supplies. All the best to you. P.S. we see that heart, very sweet😊
Thank you. My father was a builder as well, and I worked with him on my summer holidays. He also helped building two of my houses. Both sold now. 🤗🙏❤️
Three words: Astounding, Astonishing, Amazing.
Thank you! 🙏
This is a home to be worthy of .
Huh, great progress with your palace since the last video. Congrats for achieving this milestone. And yes, that *is* truely hard work, Nick, coming that far! Ok, the garden need plenty of attention and care, but this is also work for summertime when the days are long and sun is shining.
However, I mostly enjoyed the tours through these artisan companies - true and unfiltered Italian way of working. And yes, all these guys are capable of so many things, true masters.
Thank yo so much for this specila video - liekd it a lot.
Regards from DE - stay safe

NB: The roofer contacts are missing in the description ;)
Hi Joachim! Thank you for your kind message and for your point about the roof details! 🤦 Will add now. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh that was fun - thank you Nick
So pleased! 😀 thank you 🤗🤗
Thank you SO much Nick. It's just amazing. Great job.
The theater took my breath away . I can imagine just sitting there and being mesmerized at the walls and that balcony. It must have taken literally years to do that. You two are doing a wonderful job and it will take time, but thats what its all about. Please keep us posted along the journey. And always thank you for your videos. Hopefully one day I will live there if only for part of the year. Xoxo
Thank you. Sorry for my late reply. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🤗
@@italianproperty don't worry. You do not have to reply. I know you are busy. Xo
Ok Nick, thank you very much for your wonderful company on this days journey. Your house is spectacular, the surroundings are like a classic painting and your secret garden will be a wonderland after bringing it back. Gracie from Louis
Thanks Louis and apologies for my late reply. 🙏❤️🤗
Your kitchen is beautiful. I love seeing this type of cabinet. The hardware is so much better than the knobs I see in the homes for sale.
Thanks so much! 😊 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hi Nick!
I’m new to your channel and since we’ve decided to buy something in the area I started binge watching your channel for inspo. You are love for the area and the artisans is infectious. I first thought you were showing us an apartment and the house opened up and revealed itself. 😮. What a gem of a dream home. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless
Very kind Tina. ❤️🙏🤗
Sublime you are doing an outstanding renovation thank you for sharing it is stunning!
Thank you so much ☺️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nick, I just started watching this special episode. I am excited because my fantasy of hanging with you for a day is going to come true. I'll get back to you after watching.
You work hard Nic, and deserve such a beautiful home. Good to see where you buy your stuff as well -a veritable cabinet of curiousities !
Thank you. ❤️🙏🤗
Thank You for sharing your home renovation project. I hope you will keep us updated. I believe your labor of love is going to yield a stunning result! Good luck with it.
I hope so! Thank you so much for watching 😀🤗🤗🤗
Absolutely wonderful video Nick grazie. Your palazzo is gorgeous and when it's finished it WILL look like a Magnificent Palazzo. How about putting a 2 tier fountain in the backyard. And a nice pergola on an angle, with either grapes or a wisteria plant growing on it. Yes you need the designer from the UK. Not forgetting a man's shed for tools and STUFF. How wonderful to start again somewhere new, somewhere beautiful like Italia. Ciao Nick 😊💜🙏Franca.
Thanks Franca. 🤗🙏❤️
Wow! Such a wonderful place to get lost in, and such an amazing resource! That carpenter's bench would make such a great kitchen island - add some 4 inch wheels, maybe red :) - and a knife block...fantastic.
Thank you Jennifer!!
Oh Nick...dear...that was a fantastic "aaah and ooooh and no way and yassss- video" you've taken us. It was super interesting what's possible and - I know I'm repeating - I love your pure passion and the deep connection for what you're doing. The new video felt like walking beside you. When you showed the new kitchen a smirk like a gingerbread horse when I saw the handles. The colors of Farrow & Ball are top notch and you couldn't choose no better to grace the walls of your breathtaking palazzo.
When it comes to your garden I almost escalated coz I love gardening and I was amazed how big it seemed. First of all I would clean up but with caution. For example: branches and clippings could be build up (rectangle shape) to a hedge. Birds and all sorts of bugs and maybe little lizards will love that shelter. Next benefit of this kind of hedge- you don't have to dispose branches...just put it on top. The material close to the ground will rotten and give space for new material.
Flowers...every garden needs various preferably native flowers to support wild- bees, birds, butterflies etc. Sorry for writing so much- it's an expression of my enthusiasm. 🙂
You’re so kind and I do appreciate your message, which I read in full. Thank you. 🙏🤗❤️
The balustrade is gorgeous.
Nick, thank you for the wonderful treat of seeing the historic home you and Victoria are renovating. I watched the original video you made of the house and am so very pleased to find this video showing the progress. 😊 of interest was including the workshops of the artisans who make restoration possible. Nick, many thanks to you and please send us updates on your further progress. At 85 I will never get to Italy, but watching your “One Take” videos brings me to an Italy I love to see.
Thanks Barbara. Just loved reading your comment. 😊🤗🙏❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole video. Your home is amazing. Right when I was thinking the property restoration is a wonderful legacy you commented about being a caretaker in history.
Thank you so much. 🤗🙏❤️
Amazing!!
Hi Nick we are renovating in France. We also use Farrow and Ball and their reputation clearly extends to beyond the UK as we took the used tins to our dechetterie and someone there wanted the tins just because it had farrow and ball on them. Re your garden plant the top of the garden with trees for an orchard leaving a vista view point via a mown path also plug plant yellow rattle which slows grass growth down and then have your hard landscaping nearer the house , imho 😊
Thank you SO MUCH for your comment!!! I really appreciate your advice too. Thank you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had a 40 degree fever when I started watching this video. By the end my body temperature had dropped back down to 36. Must be feelgood energy that Nick spreads! Might also just be the length of the video 😁
😂🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I really hope you get better soon!! Thank you so much for watching and your comment 🤗🤗
awesome! 👍
Thank you for sharing the various places that you get your supplies and special items from. It's very interesting and I can't be the only one on here that wonders if we could reach out to some of these people to purchase certain items and have them ship it overseas to the US. Lol As far as the property that you've been working on... that's really a great deal of work that you've managed to do, let alone how much more you still have left. But you're a perfect example of those who can see past the present state of things when they have a vision and can see the real 'heart' of the place. And that garden!! I wasn't expecting THAT!!! That's fantastic!! Plus the theatre room. Wow!!! I don't want to sound crass when I say 'to own' something with such beauty and historic significance, but at least I could say to be part of it's story is quite exhilarating* yet humbling, I would imagine. Congratulations! Well done You :) Thank you for taking us along on the journey. May God continue to put 'good people' in your life and path to help you fulfill your vision/dreams!! Love living vicariously through you! At least until we can do it ourselves. Haha
Carol! Thank you so much for watching and for your really kind comment!! I’m sure they’ll ship to you!! Thanks again. We’re so grateful 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Nick for your passion!
Wow, just wow!
Thank you for this exquisite treat! ❤
Just fantastic.
Just stunning
It is going to be stunning! Please keep us updated on the progress.
❤️
Nick! Congratulations on your restoration progress. It's really coming along from the first video we saw. Beautiful work. Thank you for the tours of the other businesses too. It's so nice to see that hese talented artisans are still working to bring new life into the old with restoration work and creating works of art with newer projects. We will definitely take note of the links you've included, for when we move to Italy. Thanks so much for allowing us into your home. All the best!
Very kind Susana. Thank you. 🙏❤️🤗
You’re amazing and so is your home. You guys have made beautiful progress and I loved seeing the craftsmanship at work by the various artisans. ❤
Thank you. 🙏❤️🤗
Nick, the cucina is amazing, I also love the drawing of the 2 horse heads in the theatre room and the lime paint finish on the walls is yummy, I just wanted to touch it. 💖 Michelle 🇦🇺
🤗🙏❤️
Italian marble is beautiful. Just remember to keep a good sealant on it as it can stain. As someone who works in the architectural coating industry, I can tell you that F & B has pigment heavy paint, but is low on resin. What this means is that the durability is low. It will chip and mar easily and will not be that scrub able should you need to clean stains. So, keep a few liters of each color so you can do touch ups as needed. That sloping part of the rear garden is ripe for terracing.
Thanks for the tips. 🙏
What a fantastic tour.
Nick, thank you for this video. Your home is beautiful. You will never regret spending the extra to get the quality and the look that you want. I agree that Farrow & Ball make the finest paints in the world. Something about the pigments!
Can hardly wait to see the next installment as you progress forward. Your videos are beautifully done and the information is always interesting. A pen paper and nibbles is absolutely required! I do make notes going through.
Hope you’re having a fabulous weekend. Very best!
So kind Linda. Also, so sorry for my late reply. 🤗🙏❤️
Love love love your house, hope you keep posting as you finish each part. So happy for you both that your dream is coming true.
Thank you. 🤗🙏❤️
I really enjoyed today's visit with you Nick ❤😊🇦🇺
🤗 Sorry for my delay. ❤️
Lots and lots done! Everything looks wonderful.
Fantastico
The color of the paint is lovely. Perfect.
Great call on the fireplace. Love it.
Thanks for taking us on a ride. I recall the upstairs of your new home being so dark. It looks lovely and bright! Looking forward to the next installment. Bravo!
All because of the skylight which we restored. 🤗🙏❤️
Nick, I absolutely love the lime paint. It is perfect in your gorgeous home.
Thanks so much ❤️🙏🤗
Congrats my friend! Very happy for you and your family!,
This hour went by way to fast, it's coming along beautifully! It warms my heart to see a bit of history being brought back to life, and that theatre room is something to behold for sure! How do you take care of something like that? Just dusting? Is there some kind of clear coat you can use to preserve it? I'd definitely keep that happy horse lol...thanks for bringing us along Nick 😀
That’s a good question. 😃 I’m sure we will find a way. 🤗🙏❤️
Beautiful!!!😍
Thank you! 😊 🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗
You have made some nice progress,,, looking lovely. We can't wait to see more! Thank you for a glimpse into the restoration.

My goodness Nic I saw the first video of your new home! Victoria and you have made so much progress! It is gorgeous!
Thank you so much 🤗🙏❤️
Awww :) Someone drew a heart on your car window 😊
Also on the car doors
Oh my God you are going to be living high.how absolutely beautiful..can’t wait till you are done and we see it..but love to see the updates…where is Victoria and the cute doggie gone?
They will be in the next home restoration video. Promise. 🤗🙏❤️
Looking great nick 👍
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful artisans and fabulous property.
Thank you so much for watching 🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely gorgeous! Can’t wait for the next update. I love that you are going to keep the back of the home as it is, minus the shutters refurbishing. And the back yard . . . Wow! I think you said the stone structure was a limonaia? I had to look that up. I would love to have that in my backyard to play with and turn it into a peaceful sitting area, or an outdoor BBQ and picnic setting . . . string lights and a little fire pit outside the doors, with an evening view over the city and national park.
Thank you. 🙏🤗❤️
Nick….thank you so very much! 🥰👏🏻
Pleasure 🤗🙏❤️
Lovely! It’s really coming along! I’m very jealous 🎉
Thank you! 😊 🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely stunning Nick! La tua scelta di acquistare i colori ed altre cose dal Inghilterra direi che è molto intelligente. Vivo in Irlanda del Nord. Il mio primo mobile, un bellissimo pezzo, l' ho trovato in mezzo alla strada. Da allora quasi tutti i miei mobili, sono tesori di seconda mano, i quali sono stati acquistati nei negozi di charity, per pochissimo soldi. Quasi tutti i miei amici mi prendevano in giro al inizio, ma il risultato finale gli ha lasciati in bocca aperta. So sin d adesso che il vostro palazzo non sarà altro che una meraviglia. Non vedo l'ora di vederlo finito. Grazie per il bellissimo video.
Very kind. 🤗🙏❤️❤️❤️
The place looks great,can’t wait to see the finish.
Thanks Nick
❤️
Such an amazing painted room, Loved the video. Well done all looks great!
Thanks so much! 😊 🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was fun. Congratulations on your excellent renovation! How joyful and rewarding!
Thank you so much! 🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
