🇮🇹✨ €78.000 Dream Penthouse in Chiusi, Italy! Private Deck, Loft Kitchen & Fireplace 🔥🌞

[@shaunabrown4988]

I loved the walk around at night. It shows me what life is like in town❤

[@pietro4772]

Notice the lack of graffiti and riff raff on the streets. That's communal pride right there. A nice place to raise a family.

[@BradsWorld]

Seemed like it to me. Like Mayberry 1950's.

This is the best video I've seen of the property and its surroundings. Great job look out. Steven Spielberg

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks sir!

[@amymegginson-uz7jj]

Boy, your videos are getting fancier and fancier! Love the tours of the towns. It really gives us a better perspective. Great find!

[@elbee1290]

I agree, the tours of the surrounding town and area give Brad's videos such context! I love coming along for his walks through the town, peeks into the shop windows, and idea of how much or little life is in the town (at different times of day). I wish him lots of subscribers, he and Ollie deserve it.

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks! Oly says hi!

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks for the recognition❣️

[@DM-hd4xm]

Undoubtedly a beautiful town and property as well.

[@wired2theworld]

I adore Chiusi. I've been there twice, as we were considering buying in the old town. It's certainly charming and very well located, but even in summer, it's not very active. Locals told us there are only about 400 full-time residents living in the old town area. There were quite a few closed and for sale/rent storefronts when we were there. That said, it's an adorable town with an interesting archeology museum and a couple of nice bars and restaurants. If the right place for us becomes available, it's still an option!

[@edwardbagdasarian3634]

How hot does it get in Chiusi in summer?

[@wired2theworld]

Very hot. All of central and southern Italy is hot in summer. Like 90 to 100 degrees Farenheit every day.

[@BradsWorld]

Yeah like 90's from Mid July to end of August. The saving grace is that you usually get pretty cool evenings, like mid 60's- Low 70's. This past year was a little hotter at night so it was a little problematic. Chiusi is lower than where we live by about 800 feet or about 280M. So it might be warmer at night or less breeze. But even up here in Montepulciano you need to have AC in the 2nd half of summer. Our farmhouse doesn't have it in most of the house and it was 90 degrees F inside one day. Impossible to live like that.

[@fromtheblackcouch]

Another terrific find, Brad! Great condition and a very cozy place to call home. Thanks as always for the great detail and your production shows your hard work. Grazie!

[@BradsWorld]

That is nice to hear, thank you❣️

[@scrowba]

Thanks for another great video and tour. Maybe you can make a video about what you know about the "Auction" properties you see listed on the property sites. Thanks

[@BradsWorld]

Probably going to stay away from those auction deals... Haven't heard anything good about them yet.

[@MK-tk8tb]

Lovely town❤

[@SherylMartin-ej5gk]

Really nice property

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks, I really like it too!

[@jitterygoat49r]

Very impressed with Chiusi. Location is everything, especially if someone is trying to avoid buying a car in Italy. Thanks Brad. Great video as usual.

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks. We are heading there next week to have dinner at a Michelin listed restaurant. It is supposed to be amazing and firsts courses are like €10-14. And remember there is no tax and tip on top of that❣️

[@yvanapantino273]

Great town.

[@paullupson6824]

Your scene setting town walk arounds are really useful, Brad.

Glad you liked it. HIdden in plain site!

[@snowbirdlady7221]

That looks like a great apartment. I picked up a rental car in Chiusi years ago for my first visit to Tuscany. I didn't get to see anything of the town though. Thanks for sharing it with us. I think Chiusi would be a wonderful place to live.

[@JoanMaddie]

Enjoy your walk around showing us the towns and surroundings. Thank you for info about busses and trains. To me without a car this is very important. Beautiful town. 👍

[@BradsWorld]

Great, there are a lot of people thinking like you, no car.

[@jmcqueen7355]

Your videos - as always - are so helpful and informative. I so appreciate the walk arounds and the variety of places that you highlight.

[@amyk2993]

This video is So nostalgic for me! My son and I took the train from Rome to Chuisi and took a cab from Chuisi to Montepulciano and stayed in one of Brad and Oly’s rentals. Absolutely beautiful apartment above a coffee shop on a quaint street. Oly was so kind and we went to i Cipressi, a vineyard/tour/tasting and Pienza to eat lunch and buy Parmesan cheese. Chuisi is an adorable town. Such a great memory.❤ LOVE IT, Brad!!! Hugs to Oly😊Amy from MN

[@waterfall5715]

Looks like a lovely town

[@jamesunger9310]

Nice place, lovely looking town. Curious what the sales to list price ratio is in this region? As I understand, most rural areas in Italy are buyer’s markets? Would love to hear from recent buyers to get a feel for how much these places actually sell for. Visited Orvieto years ago and loved it, not far away from here. The direct train to Rome is a big bonus. Cheers.

[@BradsWorld]

I think you can usually squeeze them for 10% disount off list. After that it really depends on the quality, location and listing price. I bought stuff here at full asking but I saw the quality and location and I choose very wisely. Glad I did it that way. But yeah a little discount is usually possible.

[@jamesunger9310]

Good to know and thank you for replying.

[@bubskar]

Wow! impressed what a great town

[@BradsWorld]

Glad you like it! Gotta really look around here. Even Michelin restaurants!

It is. Very work a day" type place. Lots of stores and good places to eat.

[@lucchese20]

Thanks Brad for the great overview of Chiusi. I’ve heard of it (mostly the train station) but have never been. Looks like a very nice place to live. Grazie.

[@BradsWorld]

You are very welcome! Chiusi is a bit of a hidden gem.

[@MichelleParker-d6g]

Ciao from Oklahoma!!!! I just want to tell you how much me and my husband enjoy you touring through the cities/towns day or evening with you. You just can't make everyone happy. Just tell those people to travel over themselves and go see the areas for themselves. I am dreaming of moving to Italy but it's convincing my husband. He's a through and through Utah boy. We love your boys!!!! We also have a bernese MD and a poodle that just had a litter of pups. Keep doing what you're doing...WE LOVE YOU AND OLLIE!!!!!

[@BradsWorld]

Thank you so much. Make hubby come on a 3 week trip and just get lost in Umbria and Tuscany for a bit. Even 2 weeks. Skip the big tourist towns. Maybe he will get the bug. BRAD and Oly!

[@santasantinagatta]

The era you see invites conversation and a reason to go out and socialize.

[@BradsWorld]

Damn skippy! We love hanging out in our town and meeting people. Going to the functions in town and talking with life long residents. Good times!

One of best videos for what we are looking for in an apartment - train, conveniences and charm. Thanks for the walk around town too. I assume this is a walk up?

[@BradsWorld]

Cool. Nice town and out in country near there is fine too! IF that is more you speed.

[@keithss67]

Great clip! Love it1!

[@pietro4772]

Beautiful apartment. An absolute bargain at $127,000 AUD. You could easily multiply that figure by 10 and still not find a comparable apartment in Sydney. Another year or so and I will be looking for long term rental in central Italy as a base from which to look at real estate and ultimately buy a home or two. I will definitely keep your website and details handy. Outstanding presentation of town and residence 😎👍

[@BradsWorld]

I'm glad you found the video useful. Good luck with your Italian home search!

[@cantalupo6274]

Great music, Brad!!

[@elbee1290]

Right? Whatever that opening music was, I thought I died and went to heaven.....couldn't stop listening! Wish I knew the clip's name and which site it's from....great stuff

[@BradsWorld]

The track was just called "Sing". They are short tracks produced and available on my music subscription I use for components for my videos. Not available on spotify or the like... sorry!

[@elbee1290]

@@BradsWorld thanks so much Brad!

[@tipsterbl]

I’ve driven all over Italy and found it to be very easy accept for city centers which is no different than the US.

[@wayneevans5050]

you, I feel like l'm in a kitchen. I was just at that moment thinking ohooo that's just so much cabinet. and not all that attractive. If one was a decent woodworker could those window frames be adjusted to fit new double pane glass? That looks to be a very nice active town. I love the walk arounds.

[@Hoakaloa]

grazie, that opening sequence helped me cry. what's the music?

[@elbee1290]

I felt the same way....I had tears in my eyes listening to that. And how much I appreciate that Brad doesn't just use the same opening music over and over again as his "signature" sound with his logo....He bothers to keep it varied and well suited for the vibe of the video overall. I love that.

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks! I try to keep both you and me interested in what I am doing here! 🤓

[@BradsWorld]

The song is called “sing”. I have access to a huge music library, but most of the music is from independent composers and not really searchable. I’m glad you enjoy it.

[@panmichael5271]

I must confess, I preferred the town over the apartment, although the bedroom and living room were nicely set. The kitchen looked decidedly odd both in location and format. If the tourist traffic was sufficient, it would make for a decent rental property.

[@mrdiamo]

Great video Love the town and that it has a major train station that connects to major cities Does the Rome train pass through Rome airport? Cheers

[@BradsWorld]

The Leonardo goes from Rome to Airport nonstop in 30 mins for €15

[@BradsWorld]

A lot to look into….

[@davidargent0628]

I need to know how Brad is getting around not having an Italian driver license!?

[@BradsWorld]

BRAD drives a turbo diesel SUV. It’s lovely and gets great gas mileage and over 1000 km per tank which is important here. BRAD also doesn’t spend a whole lot of time worrying about every single detail. I’ve been driving here for three years. I think if you’re gonna be moving to Italy, you need to get rid of your propensity to worry too much about every little detail. It’s not a detail kind of place in my opinion.

[@davidargent0628]

Ain't nobody in their right mind going to pay 78.000 euro = $84,237.82 dollars 💰 💰 💰 for that place especially a one bedroom and one bathroom... The seller must've lost his nuggings and bolts and screws😂😂😂... Cause I know I wouldn't at all...i paid 22k in 2008 for my 3.5 bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and one car garage in s nice 🤫 sand safe neighborhood in Ohio that's now worth $125k

[@BradsWorld]

Welcome to 2024

[@elbee1290]

With all due respect, how in the world can one compare Ohio and Tuscany? Throw in the 16 years in between 2008 & 2024 as regards prices and it's apples and oranges, no similarities whatsoever.

[@wired2theworld]

That's like saying no one would pay a million dollars for a 1 bedroom apartment in Manhattan or London or Paris. Of course they will if the market will bear it. Can you find a 1 bedroom in Italy for $25,000? Of course. But you can also find one for $250,000 or 1 million. Just depends on where.

[@malaunnelson6562]

You are correct the location, nor the view, nor the apartment itself sustifies the price compared to other similar properties. Its a bit dated, needs renovation to relocate the kitchen and bedroom to their proper locations, and needs a 2nd bedroom and bathroom added considering 1000sqft is more than enough space to do so. I was shocked by the price after seeing the apartment.
