Hunting down the Italian Dream Vacation Home. Fully renovated and cheap in Southern Puglia.

Santa Maria di Leuca and its shorelines up the Ionian and Adriatic coast are nothing less than breathtaking! We're at the tip of the heel of the boot, exploring the history, architecture, cuisine, and landscapes of Salento -- all of these combined, along with the people, are what makes this place so special to live in.
The homes we visit today are located in Gagliano del Capo, a tranquil town near the Adriatic shore, where hiking, trekking and sailing along the grottos are a stone throw's away.
If you are interested in these homes, or if you are ready to start your dream house search in Italy, send me an email to [e-mail]

160,000 for both 1 and 2 is outstanding. No.1 becomes an AirBNB and you live right nextdoor, in No.2. dream scenario.

Hey Marco! I commend you on the quality of your videos! Your filming and editing are I think, the best out of all the property videos on KZbin. That's from an owner of a production and post production company and commercial director for over 35 years!

[@Justdreamitaly]

Thanks so much. It really means alot! A lot of time and passion goes into the making of these 😃

[@hiramnaman]

[@albydigiammarco3373]

Thanks for showing this place. For many people, Italy is known as Rome, Venice, Florence or any other famous place of Italy. What people don't know is there are all these other places that are incredible stunning. I always say, I think god lives in Italy. For an Australian born South African living, l'talia e troppo bella.

Both homes are very beautiful, the first one with the rent out and the roof garden my favorit. The architect did great work. I want to retire there and maybe rent out.

WOW! What a Beautiful and very well done video. 💝🕊💐 Musical editing 🎶 is very nice. This part of Italy looks gorgeous and yes, it seems very laid back and charming. Looking forward to more....really enjoyed your stop at the cliffside restaurant. That view and the blue water...I could pack up and go right now 🌺 🏡 The 1890 Apt. 2 sunlit entrance with both rooftop terrace is really something special. There are many things one can do with that rooftop. Happy Travels & Brave Onwards! 🕊💐😎 ~

[@ftakenouchi1464]

[@tomf1dublin1]

Architect should be shot in terms of lack of use of space in second home. Living area about the size of postage stamp and you have all the open courtyard area . Break through , open up the space. Also, “second “ bedroom ceiling high enough to have bed mezzanine area with office / study / relaxing area underneath . Great video and I’ve subscribed .

The food is a great extra for us and one question I´ve been wondering about is how you can eat pastries and stay so fit and thin! From your other videos they look deliziose though and wish I could try them!

[@susanalegorburu1589]

keep doing this for Salento :) Thank you

[@frankspatone]

Great video and attention to detail, thank you. We actually just got back to Canada from Salento and are having some serious discussions about moving there over the next few years. There really is something certainly special and warm about the Salento region and its people. Would you be able to provide the name of the architect involved with the projects in this video? We really like his modern touch while maintaining and exposing the natural archaic beauty of the buildings. Thanks again, and good luck with your channel!

@@bethb5915 I moved to Cagliari. It's the biggest city of Sardegna. I tried Alghero and Sassari before but I found them a bit empty (but nice). Cagliari has a nice living city and also the biggest beach of Sardegna (Poetto)

[@bethb5915]

@@dylanmura905 - Thank you for sharing that :) I just Googled Poetto - bellissima! Your reasons for choosing Cagliari make sense. I'm also drawn to Sassari because it's close to the ferries out of Porto Torres, and Olbia for the ferries from there. But Cagliari is probably best in terms of services like medical care, too. Did you buy or rent there?

[@dylanmura905]

@@bethb5915 I rent. Cagliari is really the best when it comes to services and it's the city where you'll find expat. The other ones are smaller and it could be harder to make friends

I'm so surprised how most homes have so few windows. This week it was good to see more windows. Is that because of the heat? Also many homes have stained walls that you don't mention, that would be hard to repair.

[@Cr4z33_YT]

It is because of the heat indeed. We (I live in Salento) usually have very hot wet summers with an average temperature of 30-35 degrees Celsius. Having large sunny windows requires very good insulation and a lot of climatisation running. ;)
