Thankfully there's still a place for genuine hospitality and real warmth. I truly feel your stylish non pretentious way of pulling everything together on this channel beautifully represents the italian culture. I happily watch each episode eagerly awaiting the next. Your knowledge, the cuisine and architecture without gloss speaks volumes.
Marco you have outdone yourself in this episode. We absolutely love Nardo (we are heading there again in 2024) and also visited Cafe Parisi and loved it. Thanks for sharing the restaurant recommendation as well. We will be booking into it. The properties were stunning and our favourite was the second architecturally designed property with barrel vaults and cool interiors. So well planned.
My family visited Nardo from London a few years ago, for the 1st time in Pulgia. Nardo was recommended by one of my Italian friends from Lombardy. Nardo I can say without hesitation is the best town and I have ever visited in Italy, and I have travelled Italy extensively including Sicily from the South to the Dolomites! We would go to Cafe Parisi each morning and try something different before setting off, and that restaurant was right near our AirBnb, we ate here 3 times (yummy!), there are other restaurants just as good in Nardo with different varieties of dishes, you could say the gastronomic centre of Puglia?? In summer the place is absolutely heaving in the evening, with buzzy, packed streets, open concerts, and markets, but not crazy like other European towns packed with tourists, most are Italian in Nardo and from all over Italy! We travelled around extensively on our 3-week holiday and used Nardo as a base, the beaches are amazing in Salento and visited other historic towns. We would come back to Nardo most evenings and have dinner, speaking to locals, people out of town and tourists like us, a very friendly atmosphere. Likewise, we had a terrace as well much like the 2nd property, after dinner/drinks, late at night we would open a bottle of local wine, and stare into the stars of the crystal clear Puglian skies! Thanks for the video, these properties are so cheap compared to other places around Europe and have so much history............ Nardo has beautiful baroque architecture.........very nice presented video thanks!
Marco, you are truly a magician! And there's no better stage than Italy on which to perform. All of the hard work you put in behind the scenes has paid off once again. Thanks for yet another stellar video. I gained 5 lbs. just by watching you eat in Nardo.
The tour of the cafe, restaurant, and real estate was all very charming. Thank you for sharing it with us. I look forward to seeing much more...it is an intriguing journey.
I liked the first two buildings most! I don't like huge buildings as much unless it would be for B&B, hotel etc then it could work well. Only thing missing in these videos is 1) nr of rooms not stated explicitly 2) how to get there from the airport etc. But I really like your videos. Thanks!
wonderful video!! The 2nd apartment is quite "different", and the landmark-protected exterior walls provide quite a challenge when creating new living spaces within - the windows seem so haphazardly placed. I love the tall ceilings, and all those steps will keep everyone's thighs supple!!! Lots of potential here - I hope the tourism and residential money keeps flowing in, and the city will be very well rejuvenated in a few years' time.
Again amazing properties. Funny thing about the tiny kitchens. Meals are so important, you’d think they would have given Mamma more room to work. In Portugal, the kitchens are bigger… and from what I’ve experienced, more the heart of the home. Grazie.
Ciao Marco! I enjoy your videos very much. I noticed you have not posted lately. I am planning a move to Puglia in the next two years. somewhere near Lecce... keep up the great work!
Love your videos! We attained our Italian citizenship and will be looking to purchase in southern Italy. We hope to connect with you as we love your style and taste. Thank you for creating your channel and sharing. 10:30
Any recommendations on Italian language schools ? I was thinking studying Italian in difficult areas may give a better feel for a place then just traveling through.. also would give a base to work from, to explore areas around Italy ..
Please mention the number of sleeping areas or studies that can be used as sleeping areas. It was a bit hard to follow this time. Also, please mention the range of offered considered.
I put on weight every time I watch you eat. 😂😊😂😊 I know this is on the coast, but it is southern Italy after all, so the prices seem a bit disproportionate for the region. That being said, I absolutely loved the second one. It is the perfect size for a single person or a couple. Those vaulted ceilings are perfect. The owner did a good job of renovating it. It's gorgeous! Ciao and happy new year. 😊
Yeah, that rug at the entrance of house number two......... Love the second place other than that, though I have some questions about trying to keep the kitchen area looking that minimal all the time.
Did anyone else notice the swastika's on the rug when 1st entering the 2nd home? I love your videos and thought you should know. You can easily see it at 12:09 mark.
The symbol your concerned about has dots on each of its quarters. It's a Asian symbol used by Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It is used as a representation of divinity and spirituality. The appropriation of the swastika by the Nazi Party and neo Nazis has corrupted this meaning.
@@jannetho3342 the last part you said is my point. One evil person ruined using that symbol, especially in Italy, which was an ally of the Nazi Party and that symbol was actually introduced to the Nazi's by an Italian.
Oh, I’m sorry I commented before I watched the lunch video. OMG just amazing I’m telling you here in America just don’t get even it very very exclusive restaurants you just don’t get food that fresh that looks like that.
Sorry if this question is deemed inappropriate, but perhaps you could offer an opinion. My husband and I are an older gay couple, looking to retire from the U.S. and relocate, at least for part of the year, to Italy. Do you think we would encounter any problems living in Puglia? It’s not like we’re drag queens or anything, but we have encountered some issues on previous trips, mostly in Naples and Sorrento. Any thoughts? Thanks. We love your channel.
Good question. I am not an expert on much in life and I am not gay. I have been going in and out of Italy for 40 years and have meet gay couples who seem to do just fine. In general I have found Italians to be pretty open friendly loving people. The biggest mistake I have seen by American moving to Italy is simply not doing their homework and visiting a few times so they have realistic expectations. Videos are lovely but sometime portray Italy with an unrealistic romantic lens. Hope you go, eat well and make friends. Buon anno.
Hello, you should really set the first house between breakfast and lunch, so as not put all of the food emotions in front. Thank You! No. 1 but also 2 are beautiful even if the price for the latter is a tad steep. Thank You!
My family love your videos but you keep making a common mistake regarding space. You often refer to a space as being xyz meters square. What you actually mean is xyz square meters. Eg. 100 square meters is one hundred square meters BUT 100 meters square is a massive 100 x 100 meters = 10,000 square meters.
great homes! beautifully done videos, and the food was amazing looking. Maybe next time edit out the Nazi iconography. Even if we understand it intellectually as not being an aggressive act, it's just a bit jarring.
Well of course it's not a good selling point but Is even sillier Is you commenting that!! do you think he actually knew what kind of furnishings carpet these individuals have in their home? No he would not know because he's showing a home that he has not seen for the first time. I'm sure he had no clue of the owner's carpets carpeting whatever So yeah lol😅
Understand your concern but the symbol dates back long before it was misapplied in modern times for evil purposes. It is simply unrealistic to except cultures with ancient roots to erase historic designs. But not the carpet I would choose. Buon Natale.
totally understand! TBH even though i know what it is, i would've swapped it out for real estate advertising purposes.. a bold choice on the seller's part! @@abryant9166
Well he showed three properties one for every person's budget normal person lol. One under 100,000 one 300,000 and the last one $800,000. Yes, he tried to make everyone happy. I'm sure there are homes. Under 100 grand but you'd probably have to do maybe some renovations
Update: the asking price for the second home has been lowered to €290k 👍.
My favorite of the three. But that last one has boat loads of potential 👍
I love finding channels before they blow up and get huge. Clearly that’s coming, lets enjoy this little community while it lasts! ❤

Impressive production as always.......love these small Italian towns, full of characterful buildings & no doubt 'characters'.
Ah finally another episode! Keep up the good work/Eindelijk een nieuwe aflevering! Ga zo door svp!
The tour of the cafe, restaurant, and real estate was all very charming. Thank you for sharing it with us. I look forward to seeing much more...it is an intriguing journey.
I love house # 1 ❤. Thank you for sharing these houses.
Your videos are beautifully format, narrated, filmed and edited. You showcase thoroughbred architecture. House #2 made my heart skip with yearning.
Grazie da Texas come sempre ❤
Professional you are while fun and enchanting! Thank you so much for all that you do. Linda in Washington State USA (wish I was already in Italy!)
MARCO! Dude you’re killing me w/that food! I was drooling! Good to see you back at filming, missed ya! I’d take property#2. Cheers Kirk
Food in homes to me that is the essence of life
Another gem of a video!
Aspetto sempre con felicita i tuoi video
The wait is over, finally a new video. Thank you
I liked the first two buildings most! I don't like huge buildings as much unless it would be for B&B, hotel etc then it could work well. Only thing missing in these videos is 1) nr of rooms not stated explicitly 2) how to get there from the airport etc. But I really like your videos. Thanks!
That food! Wow!
Yay Marco! You're back. I hope you enjoyed a lovely Christmas break. My fave was No.2, but damn, that food 😋🤤 I can't wait to get back to Italy...
Beautiful video as always. Thank you.
I love the vaulted ceilings in Italian properties.
#3 I would make the room between the kitchen and terrace a huge eat in kitchen.
He's late for lunch because breakfast ran long.....
Wonderful video as usual, absolutely love your style!
Glad you’re back ! The toilet position in that second house is nightmarish 😂 but the property is amazing - all of them are beautiful.
wonderful video!! The 2nd apartment is quite "different", and the landmark-protected exterior walls provide quite a challenge when creating new living spaces within - the windows seem so haphazardly placed. I love the tall ceilings, and all those steps will keep everyone's thighs supple!!! Lots of potential here - I hope the tourism and residential money keeps flowing in, and the city will be very well rejuvenated in a few years' time.
Each place had such unique features. I couldn’t pick a favorite!
All lovely homes!! Thank you for showing those!! Love the restaurants too!!
Again amazing properties. Funny thing about the tiny kitchens. Meals are so important, you’d think they would have given Mamma more room to work. In Portugal, the kitchens are bigger… and from what I’ve experienced, more the heart of the home. Grazie.
Stunning No. 1 and 2 for me new subscriber fantastic finds
Love this channel. Took some french cheese and wine to enjoy it in my new veranda ❤🎉❤
Loves it all including the food
How do you stay so slim, with all that gorgeous food? I appreciate the floor plans you show onscreen. #1... ground level! And frescoes!!
I like this format of three properties and price ranges. Keep them coming as well as the wonderful food spots :)
I visited Nardo for a day in the summer and went to Caffé Parisi. It was so good I went back for a second time on the same day!
You find the homes and apartments that I would be interested in purchasing and living in. Now convincing the fiancé to relocate.
Great work
Great video and review. Wish I was was with you experiencing all thar AUsomeness!🥰❤️😋Definitely above m6 budget, but gorgeous.
Apartment #1: Not crazy about the bathroom being off the kitchen, but my goodness! That stone arch! The high ceilings and frescoes?!?!?!
Ciao Marco!
I enjoy your videos very much. I noticed you have not posted lately. I am planning a move to Puglia in the next two years. somewhere near Lecce...
keep up the great work!
Thanks! New video on the way this weekend 👍

Love the beautiful homes but I would love a sea view. Boun Anno
Stop it, you make me hungry and thrist 😄
Love this channel .. Have to say the prices in this episode do not really sound appealing at all despite the character of places covered
I love house 2. What are the property taxes? Is electricity and internet reliable? Thanks.
Excellent job, thanks !!!! Can't find espresso where I live...apartment # 01 definitely.... Happy New Year !!!!
Loved apartment nr 2 💚
Thank you 😊🎉
Wow no wonder Italians are so animated.... my Dad was...... with the daily expressi. 😂
Another cool vid Marco. Apt 2 all day. Similar to modern Mexican interiors. My wife was pissed that you didn’t have desert.😢😅
Haha my breakfast was basically dessert
house number two ...oh my.

The rug decorated with Swastikas (12:05) is an interesting design choice. Definitely don't see that much in the US.
Right, I did a double take 😮
i could move there just for that pasta!
Love the first apartment frescos and finally below 100k cost! Who maintains the common garden area such as in home 2?
Yeah, that rug at the entrance of house number two......... Love the second place other than that, though I have some questions about trying to keep the kitchen area looking that minimal all the time.
Swastikas are common in every culture throughout history.
@@marrlena947 but are they really?
@@marrlena947 I'm pretty sure a certain someone ruined the use of that symbol
it's Indian & very traditional👍
@@kc4699Exactly.

Grazie per i tuoi pensieri.
You still have to keep the thermostat at 86' Farenheit in the summer! So even being from Texas, Americans cannot live in that heat!
In the second apartment, are the furnishing included?
I bet the chef spent the entire day at this
What is the classical music score? ❤
Hello, you should really set the first house between breakfast and lunch, so as not put all of the food emotions in front. Thank You! No. 1 but also 2 are beautiful even if the price for the latter is a tad steep. Thank You!
Is the second apartment still available?
Yes it is. Send me an email if interested: marco@justdreamitaly.com
Apartment #2: What's up with the swastika rug at 14:17?
Marco oo I'm poor ahah
Are you left handed or do the Italians eat the fork on the right hand😅
Haha it’s just me…
My family love your videos but you keep making a common mistake regarding space. You often refer to a space as being xyz meters square. What you actually mean is xyz square meters. Eg. 100 square meters is one hundred square meters BUT 100 meters square is a massive 100 x 100 meters = 10,000 square meters.
Swastika on the rug? wow
Are there any homes in that same area under $100,000. that you can live in before renovations?
I would bet there are!!! I've been lookingbat Italian homes over a year & there are bargains everywhere!
Um the first property he showed was under $100,000. Did you not see that?😅 And by the way it was fully renovated so there's one
Must have missed that! Thanks
How in the world you are so skinny with all that food. Delicioso 😋 😋
great homes! beautifully done videos, and the food was amazing looking. Maybe next time edit out the Nazi iconography. Even if we understand it intellectually as not being an aggressive act, it's just a bit jarring.
Was that swastika on the carpet of the second home?
Unfortunate!
Think I preferred the food more than the accommodation.
My husband and I LOVE your videos, but we don't think a rug with Swastikas is a selling point!!
Well of course it's not a good selling point but Is even sillier Is you commenting that!! do you think he actually knew what kind of furnishings carpet these individuals have in their home? No he would not know because he's showing a home that he has not seen for the first time. I'm sure he had no clue of the owner's carpets carpeting whatever

it's Indian and ancient @@kathifailor4660
Did…did that carpet in house 2 have swastikas on it? Bruh…😆
it's Indian, don't freak out!
@@kc4699oh man, good 🤣 being in Italy, it was a little shocking to see at first
totally understand! TBH even though i know what it is, i would've swapped it out for real estate advertising purposes.. a bold choice on the seller's part! @@abryant9166
I like your videos but would more like properties that fit a normal persons wallet.
Well he showed three properties one for every person's budget normal person lol. One under 100,000 one 300,000 and the last one $800,000. Yes, he tried to make everyone happy. I'm sure there are homes. Under 100 grand but you'd probably have to do maybe some renovations
Renovations are a part of the journey for normal wallets )) thats the fun part of spending your retierment money at least for me.@@kathifailor4660
OMG what a horrible city and houses!
