Buy a 17th century Italian dream home and make it a luxury Bed and Breakfast: Rutigliano, Puglia

[@AWAL76]

Award winning architect here! With minds to make it a boutique hotel, I worked out how the main floor, Piano Noble could possible be converted with a range of public room and 1 luxury suite. I haver worked on historical structures so I am making a lot of assumptions as I don't know what can and cannot be changed in this building. No clue about the upper floors.....but wow it could be stunning!

[@ThomasCrownW1J9BR]

Your eating-property tour combos, humor, writing and production are so top-notch this could be a regular series on public TV or a commercial channel. SO good! Bravo!

[@jocelynhardman6325]

Honestly, this was my favorite of your videos thus far! Your production quality is always outstanding, so for me, the content was the star. The historical features and evident patrimonial value of these palazzi were remarkable and the details just breathtaking. I hope you have inspired an investor to take the plunge and save a piece of priceless Italian history. And let’s be honest, I also come here for the food! What an amazing meal you shared with us; thank you!

[@tommoncrieff1154]

WARNING: Do not watch Marco’s dinner on an empty stomach. It looks sensational. In my recent experience Puglia has superlative food at every level, including in most tourist restaurants with plastic chairs.

[@k-mixxx7927]

Now I finally know why I enjoy watching your videos so much. The way they're done and how you present is very professional, I always thought😅 I didn't know that's actually what you do for a living! Great properties this week as well 👌🙏🙏

[@ronen160]

Simply magnificant!!! I'm amazed at how quiet the town is.

[@robjus1601]

First time viewer, I have to compliment you on the layout map. It greatly helps the viewer understand where you are going.

[@ramonajordan3875]

I think this may be the most beautiful historical center I've seen. Gorgeous! Both properties are breathtaking. Wow!

[@mradventurer8104]

I also liked it especially the white (church) walls. In the Netherlands we have mostly red bricks.

[@Dorismicallef]

Highlight of my week! Your videos are always so well done. Rich in detail about the area, the history, food and culture. I work for the largest real estate portals in Australia. Australian property cant even compete with what Italy offers and yet it is a fraction of the price. Thank you for bringing Italy closer to us each week. From Sydney Australia!

[@kaloarepo288]

Certainly true! A really nondescript house with very few interesting features in Australia would probably be worth about three times the price of these kinds of places in Italy.

[@jodiehebert8285]

That place is most well preserved and beautifully decorated palazzo. The wooden doors with carvings, wow! Agreed, absolutely stunning!! 😍

[@Hoakaloa]

Si! Breath taking! Grazie for distracting me for a moment from the fever dream happening in the USA.

[@casamiasalentina5818]

Absolutely beautiful palazzos. I have a soft spot for preserving the old and the second palazzo was simply amazing, that historic kitchen and the amazing cementina floors wow!! Thank you for bringing both these properties to us tonight.

[@TheKaru63]

Omg I’m in love 🥰 😍 with that Palazzo!!

[@mairimunn3300]

Just wow! Both were gorgeous. And the meal you had!

[@wanderingwithwine]

Woah, absolutely stunning!! Thank you for sharing so much beauty with us all, Marco ✨

[@laurihines300]

I love the artistry of your videos. I don’t know if I have the bandwidth, but I am very interested in a Puglian Palazzo. And that restaurant looks amazing

[@hannahthaplanna]

Wow! So much original artwork and the furniture in that second Palazzo was just amazing! Both were beautiful and that dinner made me wish I could hop on a flight to Italy today! ❤

[@metalgirl]

Love this video. Definitely want this place. The way you film your homes is very personable!! ❤❤❤

[@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams.]

Gorgeous! Properties are beautiful too.

[@darenbyers4291]

Amazing the second palazzo is great value, love the layout and think the area with the garage space would make and amazing separate suite. Has a real james bond vibe with that staircase, very cool.

[@nathandmello1762]

God i always wait for the next video and then the next one......your killing it marco....keep it up!!!

[@lillianr4521]

Wow. That peach dessert is so impressive! And the second noble house is exquisite! Another great video. Thank you!

[@cherylsimpson2131]

Thanks for bringing quality each and every time . One day I will buy in Pulia but unfortunately it will have to wait , as I am a Canadian . Really enjoy watching you .

[@MrSujitdsouza]

Marco, the price is too high for me but I’m sure you can look around for a palazzo with proportionately lesser number of rooms etc. I’m just love old European at architecture and furniture and I live in in India. I have collected European furniture etc over the years and im presently living with them. The next step would be to look at a house in Italy/ france, Looking forward to your advice and help. Thanks Marco .

[@lisac4225]

Just another amazing video love that you go walking through the towns as well. That really is unique to your videos and really gives us who aren’t on another continent a peak into life before you look into the apartment or home. Thanks again thanks for sharing the food as well.

[@chrissmichaels]

Wow, what a song...Fantastic.

[@chillnophone2024]

WoW! Both are Stunning. ❤ 🎉 I had to go eat a donut peach after seeing your glorious dessert! 🍑

[@trishmalibu6986]

Your videos always SUPERB EXCELLENT must takes hundreds hours to make this beautiful video. I really enjoy it. Thank You !

[@Justdreamitaly]

Thank you so much. Between filming, editing and everything else involved 100 hours probably isn't far off.

[@funghouls5498]

Wow what a stunning renovation in the first palazzo. The second showhome is phenomenal; The history, workmanship, just beautiful.

[@Kelly-n2z7q]

This was spectacular and one of the most interesting videos. I appreciate the food aspect too. I appreciate your time. Mahalo.

[@SteveSuraci]

Amazing. Two of the best properties you have shown. Thank you

[@peterscalata]

I think both pilasa are beautiful I really like the second one it has a lot of potential as a wedding venue

[@Captain-KTS]

Bro always tempting us with the food! Great video & cool palazzo. Should have taken the drone out, you could have gotten it stranded on the tower roof again, ha. Cheers Kirk

[@artistknownasssilas]

The second palazzo is absolutely awesome. Perfect with original architectural elements still left in place and the slow yet low intrusive improvements over the decades. Excellent.

[@jamescunningham1973]

Marco,fantastic video as always,those properties are amazing

[@Justdreamitaly]

@@jamescunningham1973 glad you enjoyed!

[@virginiafeliciano9318]

The second palazzo is to die for! And that furniture. I wouldn’t change a thing! Does it come with all that furniture?

[@Muammer-y8r]

Çok güzel bir gezilecek yerler tavsiye ederim

[@bennyboy0421]

Love everything about this! Thank you!

[@kathleentrinity7367]

So good to see what can be done to a palazzo in a very tasteful manner, and what one looks like originally. This has been a pleasure to watch.

[@Klaudine-u1b]

Just georgeous, all of it! And the price for the 2nd palazzo is really not much considering the first floor so beautifully done already.

[@finniganyork9608]

The palazzo for sale... I wish i could buy it! It's glorious! And so is the furniture. Plus, that peach dessert was a melty little work of art.

[@JohnDoe-fk6uu]

amazed by your editing skills! underrated channel!!!!

[@Justdreamitaly]

Thanks 🙏 I appreciate it

[@curious1264]

Gorgeous and some needed bathrooms in the restoration 😊

[@SabineBeckerPUSH]

Ho seguito il canale di Marco fin dall'inizio. Videografia meravigliosa e miglioramento ogni volta che pubblichi un video. Anche se molto bello, un Palazzo non fa proprio per me. Preferisco la campagna intorno a Cisternino, dove soggiorno ogni anno due o tre mesi.

[@jroar123]

It's amazing what people can do with these palazzos. However, the place is just too large for my needs unless it's turned into a B&B. I'm at the age that I just want a place to call home. Affordability is one of the reasons to give up living in Houston. Besides, my area of town is becoming dangerous and very costly. And, I'm looking for a new hobby, which means I'm looking for a place to call home that I can work on myself (some contracting out repairs and upgrades). Before I make any move, I have to get my residence visa for Italy back. I understand there is a new visa type that would allow retirees the ability to live in Italy? Thanks for the video, they are very well done.

[@iamthat1801]

I LOVE this palazzo! In my dream world, the only thing it's missing is a sea view and a bit of land... even just a courtyard for the dogs, dipping pool and a couple fruit trees 😍 That said, If I had my funds together, I would buy this place today. I am "patiently" awaiting your next video... hopefully a structurally maintained but not contemporized hundreds of years old palazzo by the sea with cantina, ground floor with grand entrance, first floor, 2nd floor, rooftop views and a bit of land for the dogs. 🙏🏼 😉😁 Also, having been a professional photographer for 10 yrs I truly enjoy your creative and graceful filming, AND adore that you take us through the town a bit, letting us know some of it's history and getting to imagine what it would be like to live there... I'm in Los Angeles, California, dependent on those who can film from Italy. All the best, Alysha~ Love, strength and blessings 🌻🌈

[@user-tr7si6zj7b]

I'm somewhat addicted to watching youtube vids about Italian properties for sale. I appreciate them all, and all of them have their quirks. Some move the camera so slowly I want the option of double speed, some have only 'incredible' and 'amazing' as a means to describe the properties... Yours are so far and away the best of any I've watched. Your camera and editing skills are second to none, we get a tantalising and informative glimpse into the area surrounding the property, your meals are hugely entertaining (and drool worthy), your commentary is interesting, and I absolutely love your little moving local delicacy on the floorpan. I also like your music. I only wish you'd make more vids! (but also I understand you may have other demands in your life). So thank you - your work is much appreciated.

[@joshchicago2008]

Spettacolari palazzi, case. Grazie Marco.

[@lealovestravel]

Wow. These are absolutely amazing! I particularly loved the second one. And such a beautiful town. I love your videos.

[@gerrycornel7204]

The content and quality of your videos are excellent! It immerses one to feel like we’re there alongside you. But how can you stay lean with all that deliciousness. Inspired! Thank you!

[@Justdreamitaly]

Happy to bring you along! Glad you enjoyed 🙏.

[@peterk4134]

Roman Britain has historic City of Bath . Grimshaw did a superb modern Bathhouse in a historic building with modern addition. The challenge here is minimal : historic restoration of the building fabric and the period decoration, and modern furniture for the picking - with sensitivity of taste, proportion and aesthetics.

[@clintschuler8231]

Marco. Another great video!!! Been waiting:-) Grazie You mentioned Puglia offers up to 50% financial assistance to remodel some of these historic buildings. Where can I go to get more information and do you know if this would be a loan or some type of grant money?

[@elmoretingle]

Thanks you. This was your best video ever!

[@nancylucas4231]

I love your videos and the homes you share with us. Thank you! The food and your interviews and interactions with the owners and chefs are priceless. I have wanted to move to Italy for decades now--hopefully in the next year or two.. Thank you for sharing the beauty of the Italian people, cuisine, history and architecture. I wouldn't mind a several hour video sometime --I love the details of artistry and wood working that you point out! #JustDreamItaly

[@raymondf3670]

Two beautiful places in an amazing small city/town .

Gorgeous!

I think you may have quite underestimated the renovation costs in the first property. In the second, how would it work out for a BnB when you have to go thru one bedroom to get to another.

[@lisac4225]

I always have to make comments about when you eat because I really think that you have a third leg that you’re putting all that food in it all looks so amazing but oh my gosh, you actually can finish it all. I’m just jealous. I wish I had about three stomachs 😂

[@mradventurer8104]

Great video! Question about the prices/costs of the first building. It said 500k+ 100K repairs etc. But the lady said there were no ceilings and no pipework. To do all that for ten different apartments how can that be only 100k?

[@jamesbarr2357]

It cost far more. The furniture alone would have been over 100,000!

[@IgnoresTrolls]

It wasn't 100k. The lady said "about half that" when referring to the €1m+ price tag. That could mean well over €600k depending on what a person means by that, but she does indicate that this property was a similar price range to the 590k the other property is advertised at. Then Marco adds to get it up and running that "it's like what another 20% on top of the purchase price?" Again, a lot of scope for interpretation. "Up and running" might not mean to the standard we see, "like 20%" could be 30% and the response was not a confident yes, it was a "uh, yyeahh" with a chuckle. Generously, I think we can interpret this as 30% of 600k, so €200k to get "up and running" as in, structurally safe, clean and good enough to rent a room out, but not what we see here.

The Rutuli were an ancient Italic people who occupied a slice of territory not that far from Rome -quite close to the sea at Anzio. Their capital was Ardea which gave its name to the via Ardeatina. They are even mentioned in Virgil's "Aeneid."

[@veronicaroach3667]

I do love Puglia, I spent a holiday with my extended family there several years ago in one of those old 'Masseria' houses that were the country retreat houses of wealthy families years ago. I recognize a lot of the floors, masonry & general feeling of these properties, and they are very interesting, but I do not find them comfortable - not welcoming from that perspective. That's me, I prefer 'cozy', so I would not buy one of these houses for myself, just enjoy the differences as an interesting learning experience. Thank you for your video, a fascinating topic indeed !

The real issue with this Palazzo would be the City Historical designation. Based on other videos it appears that the design committees are horrific - HOA x 1000........ power mad. This would be a FANTASTIC place if you could modify it - but the City may not allow that. Truly the huge problem with the Palazzo.............

[@roundtwo3321]

Impressive buildings with Los Angeles prices.

Is the furniture included with the selling price?

Could you please tell the sell price on the property videos. Thanks

[@1kkmm1]

100k for palazzo renovation ha! More like 300-500k!

[@SabineSabineP]

Exactly what I've been thinking. Especially if it should include floors and roof

[@Nancy-j8o1t]

Or more...

[@oskar6607]

No way it cost just €100k to completely renovate a large old building in the city center to the spec of the first villa. No way. I don’t believe it. Add a zero to it.

[@suze6083]

That’s exactly what I thought! Never! 9 suites? Just the bathrooms and kitchens…ceilings, elevator…no way. Oh and let’s not forget the pool and spa under construction? Give me a break! The 500k for the building surprised me in the other direction, knowing how much cheaper they can usually sell. But yes, depending on where.

[@TartarianTreasures]

Prices pls?
