    Hi. Thank you for the video. Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's is obsessed with ultra-in-depth Medieval Italian history and culture I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's relative playlists. Speaking of Viterbo, there's for example a very interesting video on Medieval Lazio and the general series about the Papal States that I naturally recommend

    Woow... He visto este video con el corazón en un puño de la emoción... Primero, soberbio el video, de verdad que las tomas, la música, los cuadros están hermosos. Segundo, Stefanie, hermosa no, despampanante, con una clase a la altura del sitio que muestra en el recorrido, Tercero, "Deus mecum nihil timeo" una de las dos frases que marcan mi vida y por último la belleza y exquisitez del castillo, los frescos, toda la historia que representan, ese caballo con su divina estampa entre las aguas, esa inmensa galería que recorrería una y otra vez y todo aquello que no está en el video pero se aprecia en las fotografías del sitio web "Lionard"... De verdad que este ha sido un viaje espectacular, he visto lugares hermosos, pero este, de verdad que quita el aliento con cada espacio. Si mi corazón está en Como, mi alma en Viterbo. Muchas gracias por el viaje.

    Wow! You would never fear a zombie invasion with this castle!
    Seriously, though, this would be perfect if it had a swimming pool or was near the ocean. I would have liked to have seen the other kitchens, or at least know that at least one had modern, working appliances. That staff kitchen looked to seat 17 people! I wonder how many would be needed for a family of 3-5? And if servants quarters are part of the 35 bedrooms? No price is mentioned even on the web page, so this one must be costly. Hopefully whoever purchases it keeps it tasteful.

    This is a wonderful example of a castle in Italy that still retains some of its defensive character as a fortification perched high atop a hill. And the interior appears to be mostly from the 19th century renovation, with the exception of the North Wing, which as Stefanie said is still mostly 16th century. The furnishings are tasteful and not overdone, and you can imagine being an Italian aristocrat and visiting here in the 19th century. Thanks for sharing.

    Actually I know some people from Australia who attended a wedding at this castle a few years ago. If anyone is familiar with queen Christina of Sweden who famously abdicated from the Swedish throne to move to Italy and changed her religion to Catholic. Well she had a courtier in her service who was a Monaldeschi and regrettably she had him killed before her eyes because she found out he had betrayed her interests in favor of someone else. This happened when the exiled queen was visiting the great palace of Fontainbleu near Paris.

    What’s been renovated of the castle is very nice. But what would a private purchaser do with such a property in the modern age? It’s too large for a private home. There’s the boutique hotel angle I suppose. But that would require even more investment as a lot of the castle still needs pricey renovations (and the property is price on application, so it already costs a fortune as is) and the place seems very isolated. Which could work in favor or against it, in that department 🤷‍♂️ then there’s not enough historical relevance to make that a main attraction (to those outside of Italy) as a museum either. It’s a quandary 🤔 still, a beautiful property and location.

    • @XDelmisterio
      @XDelmisterio 4 місяці тому

      it is a beautiful castle but it needs lots and lots of work, even if you want to preserve the historical part theres things like the kitchen that you need to change out of necessity, i think its a very hard property to sell, also i can not imagine how many things are protected by the city so renovations are going to be a hell of its own.

  • @normski4ash
    @normski4ash 4 місяці тому +1

    I am due for retiring soon, and my plan is to move to Italy. We go there two or three times a year for a holiday, and we love it. So the main things I want to know about any property, firstly is the number of bedrooms/bathrooms, I expect our children and grandchildren to visit, quite often, so that is a NEED to know. But for some strange reason, you have stopped telling us on your website, as an easy fact finding option. I am having to open every property, and having to read all the info, just to glean this one simple but important fact. For this reason, I unsubscribed from your youtube channel and I no longer visit your website. I have found several excellent real estate agents, for Italy, that tell me these facts, easily, and I have a few properties ear marked. Shame really because I used to enjoy watching your videos ! Informative, well filmed, and flowed through the whole video nicely/expertly ! Shame your website cannot do the same.
    Arrivederci

    Who on Earth could afford to not only purchase this magnificent property but, to maintain it's upkeep and taxes ??? It would have to be a VERY rare buyer indeed . Even a family of bankers and their inheritors can't afford to keep it ... thus why it's on the market ? Perhaps a large hotel corp could do some with it with exclusive packaging to the well healed traveler.

    So I am planning on retiring to Italy relatively soon. And to me the 2 most important factors are number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and price. And though I used to enjoy these videos, and checking out more details on your website. I have now unsubscribed from youtube, and never check your website anymore ! OK I don't expect you to tell us the price on here, and sometimes you do mention beds and baths. I have a specific number of beds and baths in my head, and trying to find that on your web site is almost impossible, without reading every single detail ! So for that, I'm out, unsubscribed, the lot... Goodbye.
