If you can't hear the audio, try putting in some headphones. I edited it with headphones and it seemed ok. Sorry for the inconvenience! Thanks for watching! You guys are the best!
55K is too much I think! What I would do would be to try and relocate the stairs and not have a slanted ceiling in the Kitchen! Its great fun rearranging what you can do and with non-supportive walls!
@@apekillssnake this is the issue with older buildings, especially when they are so big. Unless you can do all the works by yourself, it will cost at least 100K on top of the purchase price to renovate this place. People also think that they can do a cheap reno job and rent it as a holiday house. FORGET IT!!! Nowadays, the owner needs to provide all the documentation to show that the property satisfies all sorts of codes and regulations before they can even apply for the authorization. First, you need to check the minimum height of the ceilings and the minimum size of the rooms for a rental property. This place would need to have everything redone from the heating to the electrical systems, the kitchen and bathrooms. These laws change often in Italy and I'm sure they will get even more strict in the future.
@@UndertheTuscanSun hey Aphex Twin thumbnail cool! I have experience of this in other countries and do most the work myself. You will always be overcharged as Westerners. Yes it is a minefield, but you can get lucky! I am looking to relocate to Italy! I don't have an interest to rent out, so less problems! You can live old systems if you intend to refit over time! I want to experience Italy to live before I am dead!
@@apekillssnake if you are not interested in renting and you can do the reno, then you are in a better position than most people. I would wait and see what's going to happen after this Covid drama before buying, I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of distressed properties in the months ahead.
This is my favorite property you have toured so far, the wine vats, fireplaces, garden, stainglass etc. Thank you, for the time you spend touring these properties!
I absolutely adore this property. I wouldn't want to change much other than bringing it up to code and adding another bathroom, and making a self contained guest house. (I love the tiled floors!) If anyone who is following is interested, this property is @30km from Vercelli where the Via Francigena passes through and onward to Rome. This could be a really good location for accommodation, holiday let, air bnb, etc. I cook, and I teach cooking, mainly Italian pastas, etc. If anyone has some ideas, let me know. Dauvo, thank you for another fabulous chapter filled with possibility!
I really loved this home the most. I would put a half bath downstairs. Sitting area in the first bedroom, and make the artist studio a guest apartment. But I’m just day dreaming. Keep up the good work.
I went there in 1996 stayed at a friend's House inside a Duke's property in Perugia with a vineyard and pool...so my concept of Italy back then was more of high end Villas and palatial homes...was so impossible to afford even a pot of soil...haha... so now that they're openning up to the world and offering affordable retirement areas... well why not coconut! salutti a tutti! Viva Italia!
I'm really enjoying the direction your channel is taking. I can see what you're covering raising interest in quite a few markets. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks! Glad to know it! I'm just trying to share some options that people might be able to take advantage of as I search for a few options of my own. 1 Euro homes are cool in theory, but there are so many directions one could choose
Thanks for sharing this property - it's beautiful! As audience members, my husband and I appreciate being included in your searches. Can't wait to see what you discover next, and even more so, can't wait for Italy to open back up to Americans so we can see properties in person! Until then..... you are our eyes and ears in Italy :)
Haha good to hear it Stacey! I hope you guys find what you are hoping for! I am down in Puglia right now and hope I can find some more treasures like this while I'm here!
We are still a relatively small (but growing fast) community of DauvO fans, so I think we could ask him to start a Patreon page so we can help him out with gas, (very expensive in Italy). I believe this will give him a little more leeway to look around for us. I hope I didn't offend anybody with this request, but as one of the viewers said, he is our eyes in this time of restricted travel. Thanks
Hi Regina! So, I've been going over this comment in my mind for a few days and decided to reach out and say thank you! I am the type who only likes to be rewarded when others have had success and so I've actually avoided the idea of setting up extra monetization for the channel. Well that feeling also extends into the consultation I do and so have basically offered free advice to everyone up until this point. Last night I had a conversation that opened my eyes a bit to what I should be doing for you the subscribers as well as for my family and so I am happy to share this patreon page with you and anyone else that feels they've benefited from the information I've shared. www.patreon.com/dauvo I'm truly reluctant to share this since you never know if it will be considered a negative thing to the majority, but I've decided in order to help create more opportunities like this video, I should take your advice and start one since my personal budget limits the channels possibilities. I also see it as a way of reaching my goal of helping others at a faster rate as you'll see inside the goals I've set for the Patreon page. I have incorporated both low and high tiers for those who'd like to offer some help as well as those who'd like mentoring or a hands on experience. Thanks again Regina and all those who supported her thoughts!
@@DauvO Hey Dave. I am not a youtuber but know one and follow several; and I know how time consuming it is, not to mentioned expenses. I am so appreciative of your output. It has helped a lot, I mean, a lot! I am retiring in Italy and not only, I'm I getting good information and advise, but has nurtured a friendship that is already in country. That's as good as it gets. Hope to meet you and your family soon. I'll be going to the South, but intent to travel a bit once there. Thank you.
Thanks for another great video, really love this one, so much potential with the garden and outbuilding as well as the house. I particularly like the veranda but love those interior doors too. 😍
It was definitely a special property. When I saw it, I really started weighing my options. In the end, I doubt I will pick it up since my wife still works in Milan.
DauvO True, commuting to Milan would be impossible from here. Given the location and condition, would expect the price to be somewhat negotiable and with the new government concessions on renovations it could be a bargain for someone. Such a lovely place, hope someone snaps it up soon.
It still is bellisimo I would just decorate it and of course get the roof done winds in Italy are force full is the furnature with it I love the furnature
Thanks for another Piemonte video. I always wonder about these towns as we drive thru/by. I think this one is close enough to Vercelli and the wine country to make it quite interesting for the right person.
I made my husband take a look at this one. I like it more than he does for our needs, but Wow! what a great find. A bit too much work for us, considering how sleepy the area seems. It might not make its comeback in value while we're still kickin'. ;)
Haha. Thanks for your thoughts. It was a really quiet area. I do know the house adjacent in the distant side was being used since they came out to see what was going on. Hope you find something that fits your lifestyle!
@@DauvO The renovation might discourage some but the homes has great bones. How would someone go about doing the renovations and what would it cost. It will need a lot of work but are there any skilled electricians, plumbers, etc that are close by since it's so isolation. Like others this is my favorite the space the layout. They would get it back doing AirBnB's since it shows great and one you do the pictures I think you would get enough to cover the reno over time.
@@JamConcerned if the walls and roof are ok, I'd say between 300 and 500€ for square meter. If you are very lucky. Doing demolition and the tracks for the plumbing and electrical by yourself help a lot to contain the costs. I'd say to budget 100.000. Great home though. Beautiful. But also sad thing about Italy. Thousands of beautiful villages that are slowly dyeing.
Thank you DauvO for going around and showing all the different houses in different areas. I share the same passion for Italy even though i don't live in Italy but in Canada. I enjoy your videos There is a lot of comments about reno costs and, i want to share my experience of just purchasing a house in the Veneto Region (used for vacation) and recently completing a full reno on it. My house is 120sq m. 3 bdrm, 2 bath. I have redone it all inside, from new floors to to new kitchen, bathrooms, new windows and doors, heating system and new septic. Yes, a lot of these houses have septic tanks and most need to be upgraded. I am into it ( from the choices i have made) so far 130k euro just in reno costs. Costs can add up quick if you want them to. Labour costs for tradesmen average about 20 to 30 euro per hour.
Thanks Paul! It sounds like you really gutted the place and replaced everyting. Is that the case? Sounds like you'll have a beautiful home when you are done!
Yes, pretty much gutted it except for walls, though we did rebuild two interior walls to reconfigure the kitchen and a bathroom. I am very happy with how it turned out. I just have the exterior to do next. I will look into the government subsidiy for the front facade as mentioned in one of your other videos. Thanks for that.👍
The dogs were driving me crazy. :( I am looking for a property in that style and extra space for a guests, but more in the quite area . La campagna. Courtyard coud be very nice on this one. Love it.
Lots of potential in this property, 55K Euro seems like a very fair price considering what you are getting. Very interesting video, thanks for do this! Also my complements to Alberto, his English is excellent!
Hi Dauvo Just as a matter of intetest, this was posted 6 months ago, so my question is, was this property sold ?? What was it sold for?? Has the renovations started? Also, could please revisit these properties when the renovations are completed. Thank you so much for showing these properties, I love them...Cheers Melbourne Australia 😁👍🏽
What an amazing home and beautiful courtyard/garden. Thanks for sharing. In Italy, can you have inspectors/contractors inspect it before closing? In order to have an idea what it will cost to upgrade plumbing, electric or structural before becoming the owner.
When I bought a property in the Veneto, I looked over a few all located in or around a small town. My one you could see it was rough holes in the roof etc. So I knew what I was getting into, but I took a builder on a viewing to confirm my thoughts. Structure was ok, not falling down, and was well built. But needed complete new roof including beams a new floor upstairs, you could see through from downstairs to the sky! New electric, not on mains gas. Water was at the house and septic tank ok. I guess looking at this house bank on rewire and some sort of heating system if your living in it. New kitchen bathroom re decoration.. there are the usual small cracks.. if I were looking for a holiday home ide seriously look at this place. It's got good bones and a tranquil setting, but not too far from a town..
What a wonderful property. Too bad the winters in that area are cold and snowy. I would have like to see the view from the back property and more of the outer buildings. Find me this one in more clement winter climates and I will reconsider my decision to give up my dream of owning a house in Italy.
I have enjoyed this property very much and the last one. This has tremendous potential. I can't help but wonder why there are still things in the house left over from the families that live there. Did they leave in hurry? This property must have been dramatic in it's day. Love it.
The property was most likely used as a vacation home most recently, so any furniture would have been extra and left until it was necessary to move. But there are many possibilities of why furniture is left behind.
I recently subscribed to your channel watching Chris's video. I really like what you do and very much interested in buying a property. Ill be contacting you soon. Thank you for such informative videos.
Wow!! Can you let us know in these towns you go to if theres a small market, a bakery or if you have to drive 20 mins to shops, helps me decide thanks!
In the audio that was hard to hear at the beginning I described the area as well into the country. Normally these communities don't have markets since it is just a cluster of houses in the countryside. But the shops would be just a few minutes by car.
Super nice property......the first bedroom can just be a sitting area...so you don't awkwardly walk through someones bedroom.....the huge living dinning room....looks like it could be a separate studio apartment.....good investment..... Why does the neighborhood look like there is no one around....is that due to the virus?
No the part of the video in the car, I explain that it is an area with very few people. Like living in the county area outside of the city. Those that do live there are in their homes or at work
Hi there! Love your channel. I’m headed to the Piedmont region in a few days. I loved this villa shown by you and Alberto. Is there anyway we could get in contact to see if it’s still available. We are looking to buy. Kind regards jenn xxx
Dauvo can you explain whats going on with the property market of Piedmonte. There are tons of huge and ridiculously cheap homes and farms. Is the region being abandoned due to increasing storms floods and erosion? Or did it start with the slide of Torino after the Fiat closure?? What is going on there? The region is gorgeous, so there's obviously some unfortunate situation causing this almost complete abandonment of the towns in the area where you are in the video. What info can you find out for us?
£55k is very very affordable considering it has a garden and a larger area... I want to buy this if it will still be available ...but I"m sure there are still many more properties available...prettier and larger...but so far so good!♥️♥️♥️
@@bee5841 €55k or £50k is still relatively cheap from my 3rd world country and ironically, it'll just be equivalent to a tiny 50 sqm townhouse here... so this comes as a huge bargain considering this is ITaLY, an EU member country.
@@bee5841 yes I agree..part of the risks are the renovations required which must be complied within 3-5 yrs...but I guess it all depends on the owner..if he spends all his retirement money on renovations or just filling up the holes with grout or cement ...?? haha...sometimes it's about the journey...✌️💸
@@bee5841 yeah I exaggerated there haha but what I' m really trying to say is .. ..about them both being EU member countrries so they both have higher land value potential...✌️💰
Like many I have started my search for my retirement home during COVID. I'm torn between the beautiful coastal areas of the south and the beautiful rural areas of the north. I like the proximity to the major towns in the north and would like to live in a small town or village but I don't want to be completely without an outside garden area or yard. It seems properties that have both property / garden while being in a village are rare.
I've not experienced their winters, but my area shouldn't be much different. Floor heating is the best solution in these tile floor concrete structures. Good windows and doors are a must as well. Without floor heating, you'll either have a bit of a high gas bill in the winter, or be wearing a sweater and thick socks. ❄🌨
I agree! There area is not much different from where I group up in regards to it's distance from a larger city. I lived the garden even overgrown as it is haha
I assume you mean property taxes? It would highly depend on whether it is your residency or a second home. I unfortunately can't answer since I didn't see what the 'rendita catastale' was for this home. Renovations, I'd expect 300-500 per sm unless an inspection determined a structural issue.
@@DauvO yes, but the only solution would be providing jobs in the sorrounding area. I myself inherited a house in a very sought after touristic area, sold it and bought a medioval house nobody wanted anymore and renovated it, but I could not possibly live there all year round for lack of opportunities. Still it is perfect for our holidays and we've become "honorary" members of the community after 16 years.
Caio DaivO I have been living in Italy for 3 1/2 years now; I am itching to acquire another property for potential rental or Air-B-n-B. I would like to talk with you about some properties near my area; no 1 euro though. Let me know if you are available. Thanks.
Dauvo i just saw the video with the lady real estate agent and you on a property fro 385,000 euros, can you send me more info on that property and this property please.
We're collecting intrest through this form in order to help out Alberto in managing the requests. Thanks for your support! www.thedauvo.com/fabiano-monferrato/
Dauvo, very gently, sometimes it might be better for you to interrupt and ramble a little bit less and let the person showing you a property show you the property rather than frequently interrupting them.
Trying to see the property, but you move the camera around too much. I would need to see more details of the whole property, including the garage, to even consider buying it.
Appreciate the feedback. Still, the video serves as a first look, I strongly urge you to contact some agent requesting additional video clips from anyone selling property from a distance. One video is not sufficient.
@@DauvO We liked the gardens and general feel of the home and outbuilding. Are you still posting videos of homes? We loved your stuff and we have starting looking seriously in Italy.
The problem with this house is that northern Europeans want a place to go in winter. This house would be freezing because it's up the mountains. Otherwise its a really great property
Ela Paszczynski Palm trees are not really a sign of good weather... they can survive through winter weather of a few degrees below zero. Here winters are cold, damp and foggy but not so much snow. Weather usually starts to pick up from around March and is good into early October. But July / August can be too hot and humid for many. Maybe small pool in the garden would help with this 😄
NaCreagachaDubha I am currently in Dublin but my mother’s family are from Lombardy and Piedmont, grew up living between Ireland and Italy. Usually go back and forth a lot, but have not been able to return to Italy this year due to the virus. I have always had more of an affinity for Italy, but Ireland provides many more professional opportunities, so I ultimately settled in Dublin.
I wouldn't describe this property as 'up the mountains' since less than 10 minutes drive reaches the Po River specifically Pontestura with an elevation of 140 m above sea level. It's still in the Po River Basin.. More like at the base of the mountains. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontestura
It would really be helpful if you supplied some contact info for these--like who is the agent, phone number, etc? I don't think it's fair to this agent for someone genuinely interested in actually purchasing the properties to sign up to be a patron.
@@DauvO Odd way to do that, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Did not see any other options in the description to contact the agents directly and I'm admittedly weird about giving out my email. Sorry.

No problem. I hope you enjoyed it!

Nice. Italy is full of options. I'm sure you could do well restoring the right place
Love the house with a lot of character and big enough, knowing that in Europe houses are not as big. Thanks again for the great video.
That’s really an amazing house, almost like a palazzo. So much character with the wallpaper and the older furniture with marble tops.
It was huge! Also so interesting how you walk through one room to reach the others. A lot of potential here. It's just missing a beach view haha
I'd love to see more properties like this!! Definitely love a garden. Do you ever go to Abruzzo?
I'm going there soon! Thanks for letting me know!
I cant't believe the prize! I would move right now!
It's definitely worth a second look! I was surprised by its size. And then the extra house in the back... dynamite!

I LOVE this property! I'm the kind of artist and gardener who needs to buy it. Great potential.
I think it needs a touch like yours. I'd most likely keep the garden as is.. I kind of like the jungle look. haha
Lots of potential in this property, 55K Euro seems like a very fair price considering what you are getting. Very interesting video, thanks for do this! Also my complements to Alberto, his English is excellent!
Ya! I'll let him know! Thanks for watching JJ, hope it helps!
When I see videos of these houses I always want to get at them and do the garden!
Dauvo, have you done any videos around Pontremoli? I have seen some interesting listings of detached homes there. Thanks for the great channel.
No but thanks for mentioning it. Now I'm curious!
@@DauvO A youtuber with the site "Not Useless Yet" is restoring a home in the area. It looks beautiful.
Hi Dauvo
Just as a matter of intetest, this was posted 6 months ago, so my question is, was this property sold ?? What was it sold for?? Has the renovations started? Also, could please revisit these properties when the renovations are completed. Thank you so much for showing these properties, I love them...Cheers Melbourne Australia 😁👍🏽
What an amazing home and beautiful courtyard/garden. Thanks for sharing. In Italy, can you have inspectors/contractors inspect it before closing? In order to have an idea what it will cost to upgrade plumbing, electric or structural before becoming the owner.
When I bought a property in the Veneto, I looked over a few all located in or around a small town. My one you could see it was rough holes in the roof etc. So I knew what I was getting into, but I took a builder on a viewing to confirm my thoughts. Structure was ok, not falling down, and was well built. But needed complete new roof including beams a new floor upstairs, you could see through from downstairs to the sky! New electric, not on mains gas. Water was at the house and septic tank ok. I guess looking at this house bank on rewire and some sort of heating system if your living in it. New kitchen bathroom re decoration.. there are the usual small cracks.. if I were looking for a holiday home ide seriously look at this place. It's got good bones and a tranquil setting, but not too far from a town..
Anthony Agovino Yes, it’s possible to do this.
@@ElibelDublin Thank you so much.
Thanks everyone for helping out! I can confirm that it's a big yes!
What a wonderful property. Too bad the winters in that area are cold and snowy. I would have like to see the view from the back property and more of the outer buildings. Find me this one in more clement winter climates and I will reconsider my decision to give up my dream of owning a house in Italy.
Sounds like a plan. I'll be doing more in southern areas of Italy over time. I'd still like to add to not give up on your dreams in any case. 😉
Love this house. I’m short...works for me. Love the garden!
So much potential! Love it.
Glad you like it!
Looks AWESOME ... 👍🏻🤗
I have enjoyed this property very much and the last one. This has tremendous potential. I can't help but wonder why there are still things in the house left over from the families that live there. Did they leave in hurry? This property must have been dramatic in it's day. Love it.
The property was most likely used as a vacation home most recently, so any furniture would have been extra and left until it was necessary to move. But there are many possibilities of why furniture is left behind.
This property seems to have so much potential 🤗
I think you are right! It's not too far off from getting a nice face lift I think.
I recently subscribed to your channel watching Chris's video. I really like what you do and very much interested in buying a property. Ill be contacting you soon. Thank you for such informative videos.
I absolutely love this place. Almost as is!!! I would live there a while and think about what to do.
I can't find the listing on the website and wonder if it's still around.
Pretty sure this one sold quick
It's beautiful!
It really is!
Sold 🌹🌠 I'm an artist..love this
Wow!! Can you let us know in these towns you go to if theres a small market, a bakery or if you have to drive 20 mins to shops, helps me decide thanks!
In the audio that was hard to hear at the beginning I described the area as well into the country. Normally these communities don't have markets since it is just a cluster of houses in the countryside. But the shops would be just a few minutes by car.
Super nice property......the first bedroom can just be a sitting area...so you don't awkwardly walk through someones bedroom.....the huge living dinning room....looks like it could be a separate studio apartment.....good investment.....
Why does the neighborhood look like there is no one around....is that due to the virus?
No the part of the video in the car, I explain that it is an area with very few people. Like living in the county area outside of the city. Those that do live there are in their homes or at work
Wow I love this place
I love that property!
Me too!
That is so lovely!
Thanks as ever , looking forward to your thoughts on Como👍
I love this property. I would be very happy there.
It did have a lot of comforts. Thanks for sharing J!
I'm really curious to see some newer Italian properties!
That could be a fun type of tour too! Thanks for the request!
I expected the price to be double really,very interesting property
That House looks amazing!!
I loved it too!
Hi there!
Love your channel. I’m headed to the Piedmont region in a few days. I loved this villa shown by you and Alberto. Is there anyway we could get in contact to see if it’s still available. We are looking to buy.
Kind regards jenn xxx
Hi Jenn is it too late? You can look up tecnocasa casale monferrato to talk to alberto or email me
Dauvo can you explain whats going on with the property market of Piedmonte. There are tons of huge and ridiculously cheap homes and farms. Is the region being abandoned due to increasing storms floods and erosion? Or did it start with the slide of Torino after the Fiat closure?? What is going on there? The region is gorgeous, so there's obviously some unfortunate situation causing this almost complete abandonment of the towns in the area where you are in the video. What info can you find out for us?
£55k is very very affordable considering it has a garden and a larger area... I want to buy this if it will still be available ...but I"m sure there are still many more properties available...prettier and larger...but so far so good!♥️♥️♥️
@@bee5841 €55k or £50k is still relatively cheap from my 3rd world country and ironically, it'll just be equivalent to a tiny 50 sqm townhouse here... so this comes as a huge bargain considering this is ITaLY, an EU member country.
A tiny 2 bdrm property in Cambridge, UK sells for £700k at the very least...
@@bee5841 yes I agree..part of the risks are the renovations required which must be complied within 3-5 yrs...but I guess it all depends on the owner..if he spends all his retirement money on renovations or just filling up the holes with grout or cement ...?? haha...sometimes it's about the journey...✌️💸
@@bee5841 yeah I exaggerated there haha but what I' m really trying to say is .. ..about them both being EU member countrries so they both have higher land value potential...✌️💰
Like many I have started my search for my retirement home during COVID. I'm torn between the beautiful coastal areas of the south and the beautiful rural areas of the north. I like the proximity to the major towns in the north and would like to live in a small town or village but I don't want to be completely without an outside garden area or yard. It seems properties that have both property / garden while being in a village are rare.
Gardens are very rare for the historical centers.. They are more present the more you reach the outskirts
Is that type of heating sufficient for the winters in the Piedmont area? I love that it has a garage and garden!
I've not experienced their winters, but my area shouldn't be much different. Floor heating is the best solution in these tile floor concrete structures. Good windows and doors are a must as well. Without floor heating, you'll either have a bit of a high gas bill in the winter, or be wearing a sweater and thick socks. ❄🌨
Just subbed great videos!! Thanks
Thanks DauvO, what a dream!!!
I agree! There area is not much different from where I group up in regards to it's distance from a larger city. I lived the garden even overgrown as it is haha
So much potential
Lovely home!
I think so too!
Beauty of a house in need of some TCL not very much though I love the decor
DauvO a really like this one!!!
How much is this villa with Artist studio I just love it so peacefull
can you please talk about how old these houses are? that would be super interesting to hear. thanks .
Love it!! 🏠
I love it !
I love this one.
FIRST!! Lovely property
Nice! Glad you liked it!
you are saving the best for last
I think Alberto did the same for me. haha The last property I went in, was particularly unique
Can't hardly wait to see that one too !!
I have a question how much would be the taxes on this place? How much are the closing cost? How much do you think it would cost to renevate it?
I assume you mean property taxes? It would highly depend on whether it is your residency or a second home. I unfortunately can't answer since I didn't see what the 'rendita catastale' was for this home. Renovations, I'd expect 300-500 per sm unless an inspection determined a structural issue.
Is the furnature sold with property
I see this was posted 2 years ago. Any updates? Did the property sell?
I want to buy the brick building on the right at 03:48. Cute :)
Maybe it's for sale! haha
love this property! perfect. i'd like to see it but it'll be gone fast...
The property market is very sluggish in Italy: too many of us have inherited houses in places where nobody wants to live anymore.
It's location gives it some challenges, but I am hoping you are right!
I think together we need to solve the part where no one wants to live there anymore. What do you think Mimmi?
@@DauvO yes, but the only solution would be providing jobs in the sorrounding area. I myself inherited a house in a very sought after touristic area, sold it and bought a medioval house nobody wanted anymore and renovated it, but I could not possibly live there all year round for lack of opportunities. Still it is perfect for our holidays and we've become "honorary" members of the community after 16 years.
@@mimmiblu6138 that's how I bought mine, a large family with too many houses, they did not want the up keep. So just abandoned it...
I would buy this. Retire in about 5 years.....
Caio DaivO
I have been living in Italy for 3 1/2 years now; I am itching to acquire another property for potential rental or Air-B-n-B. I would like to talk with you about some properties near my area; no 1 euro though. Let me know if you are available.
Thanks.
Feel free to contact me using the links on the about page. My email is there too! Which part of Italy are you in?
The dogs barking non stop would drive me crazy.
What was the price?
Dauvo i just saw the video with the lady real estate agent and you on a property fro 385,000 euros, can you send me more info on that property and this property please.
Has this property been sold?
Yes, from what I know it had an offer placed some months ago.
Hi, DauvO. Can you post contact link for the agent on this. Thank you, Brother. Doing a great job.
We're collecting intrest through this form in order to help out Alberto in managing the requests. Thanks for your support!
www.thedauvo.com/fabiano-monferrato/
Dauvo, very gently, sometimes it might be better for you to interrupt and ramble a little bit less and let the person showing you a property show you the property rather than frequently interrupting them.
advice noted. Thanks for the feedback
Has this sold?
Trying to see the property, but you move the camera around too much. I would need to see more details of the whole property, including the garage, to even consider buying it.
Appreciate the feedback. Still, the video serves as a first look, I strongly urge you to contact some agent requesting additional video clips from anyone selling property from a distance. One video is not sufficient.
Is This house still for sale in montferrato
Now seeing this is this property still available if you know.
I will check in on Alberto to find out!
What happend with your meeting with the mayor?
It went well. I will be sharing that soon
Hi
New Subbie
~☆Beautiful Property ☆~
Thankyou
Thanks Diana! Happy to have you!
I’m assuming this is sold?
Yes. It was a good one though 👍 what did you like about it?
@@DauvO We liked the gardens and general feel of the home and outbuilding. Are you still posting videos of homes? We loved your stuff and we have starting looking seriously in Italy.
@@bradbianchi6953 just about to start posting again. Took a bit of a break but excited to get back to it
Wish I had 55000 it’s fantastic I have 40000 grazie ciao
You'll find something else. No worries! Make sure it's what you really want there are plenty of options.
The problem with this house is that northern Europeans want a place to go in winter. This house would be freezing because it's up the mountains. Otherwise its a really great property
NaCreagachaDubha i dont think is that bad if they have palm tree.lol
Ela Paszczynski Palm trees are not really a sign of good weather... they can survive through winter weather of a few degrees below zero. Here winters are cold, damp and foggy but not so much snow. Weather usually starts to pick up from around March and is good into early October. But July / August can be too hot and humid for many. Maybe small pool in the garden would help with this 😄
@@ElibelDublin are you in the mountains of Italy, Eilbel? Prefer it to Dublin?
NaCreagachaDubha I am currently in Dublin but my mother’s family are from Lombardy and Piedmont, grew up living between Ireland and Italy. Usually go back and forth a lot, but have not been able to return to Italy this year due to the virus.
I have always had more of an affinity for Italy, but Ireland provides many more professional opportunities, so I ultimately settled in Dublin.
I wouldn't describe this property as 'up the mountains' since less than 10 minutes drive reaches the Po River specifically Pontestura with an elevation of 140 m above sea level. It's still in the Po River Basin.. More like at the base of the mountains.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontestura
It would really be helpful if you supplied some contact info for these--like who is the agent, phone number, etc? I don't think it's fair to this agent for someone genuinely interested in actually purchasing the properties to sign up to be a patron.
Being a patron is not required, just a simple email opt in. If you've already opted in I have to connect people manually so sometimes it takes a while
@@DauvO Odd way to do that, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Did not see any other options in the description to contact the agents directly and I'm admittedly weird about giving out my email. Sorry.
