I found 2 AFFORDABLE Dream Homes in Southern Italy (and the BEST restaurant in town) Galatone Puglia

[@Justdreamitaly]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope you've enjoyed this year's adventures in house hunting. Next year there is much more to come! As always my contact is [e-mail] if you're interested in these homes for sale. And don't forget to check out squarespace.com/justdreamitaly as sponsors really do help to make this level of filmmaking on my channel possible.

[@xyzxyz3412]

Sorry, I am hard of hearing. How much is the first home?

[@Free_Spirit82]

Love your videos! Happy new year 🎉😊

Just found your channel, the camera work is exceptional, bravo! I'm halfway done doing a cycle of all the regions of Italy, I've completed the 10 most northern regions and am heading back in March 2025 to cycle rest down south (split due to the 90-day limit sadly), and your content is giving me great inspiration!

[@matej.m.rejsek8537]

I follow about 40 Italian property channels right now. Just Dream Italy and another very different one (2 really endearing ladies mostly showing very down-to-earth type properties) are my favorites. The production values (writing, audio choices, video quality, framing, etc) on yours is consistently impressive. It'll be even more so if it turns out to be just a one person effort.

[@magnejohansen9640]

I just stumbled over your video. I'm breathless. I want to go to Italy and eat 😂😂😂😂. Love from Norway

[@AddColor2Life]

I enjoy these videos so much! You find beautiful properties, excellent restaurants and show very interesting cities. I love seeing videos of properties in the lower price ranges. I would love to have a small apartment in Italy for vacations and possible retirement. I love these cities you travel too. 🙏✌️🥰

[@dorinatudisco1308]

Thank you for another great video! The meal you had looked amazing 🤩. Thank you also for showing more affordable homes. That’s exactly what many of us want to see! Happy New Year! Love your content. ❤

[@SusanBrown-s8v]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Marco! Thank you for the great video content that you do. I just enjoy them so much. Love Puglia!

[@dvancamp6710]

I love the first property! Unfortunately it'll be another year before we can consider moving to Italy. Thank you for making these enlightening videos! Hope you have a Happy and Safe New Year!

[@casamiasalentina5818]

Merry Christmas and all the best for a Happy New Year 🥳. Thank you for todays video. This is our hometown. We bought our property here in 2022. It was lovely how you showed the town and gave us some history. 😍🙂

[@funghouls5498]

Buone feste Natalizie Marco. Two sweet properties showcased here. Always look forward to what you have next.

[@stevengilleyOU812]

Merry Christmas and Happy NewYear, Marco! Another fantastic video. Your tops in this genre and I.m mesmerized by every episode because you hit all the interesting things around the houses and do it like a travel show host. I’m a big fan. Cya next week on Just Dream Italy.

[@louistancredi6775]

Thank you Marco for this new video. You always go above and beyond with your quality and content. I appreciate that you found two properties that are more affordable, but both has such wonderful beauty and nice features.. I wonder if Galotone has a decent bus system to get to other cities in the area? You really shine in your presentation. I love your wonderful adventures.

[@mayraweber2013]

Happy New Year my dear ,we can not wait to go to Puglia and if possible meet you already with some properties on mind , currently working on downsizing and retirement,but always watching your videos closely . Thank you for this wonderful channel Marco 😍

[@jelsner5077]

That restaurant looks fantastic.

[@TheKaru63]

Your videos are a treasure! ❤ I dream of being able to purchase one of your found properties! Such a great introduction to a lovely area! Merry Xmas 🎄 & best for new year 2025 🎉🥂🍾

[@JeanAllard-zw2dc]

Love watching you! How do you stay so thin with all the food you eat lol!

[@Johnmell100]

I've been to Puglia, but not to Galatone, it looks really lovely, hopefully I will be able to visit soon. Thanks

[@katherinespencer2633]

I love your video, the two properties you showcased were charming!

[@blessingsoutlaw]

Am marveling at the height of the radiator in the back living space/bedroom of residence #1. Wow! Have never encountered one like that…😮

[@neutonrenda2303]

Happy New Year Marco. The food alone looked like a great reason to visit the area, I will definitely do that when in Italy again. Great value for the second property, especially having two separate spaces and the rooftop. 👍

[@dieseljunkiedefendersgera3142]

Happy holidays Great content beautiful Galatone I bought a house in Nardò last year I’m in the proses of renovating it

[@charinacupcake3436]

The food at this restaurant had my husband and I drooling. Thanks for sharing

[@DavidPerry-l4w]

You make me want to eat my way through Italy😁

[@wernerdanler2742]

That first home is to die for. It is well worth the price. Happy New Year, Marco!

[@jeanneamato8278]

We bought a 1200 year old house and an olive farm for €70,000. A while ago, but it was not in English speaking overpricedTuscany. It was more south. Less than 2 hours to Rome or Naples by train.

[@marlyfreely74]

fantastic! good luck to you!

[@aniboy76]

Tuscany is far from overpriced. Only very specific areas. There are LOADS of cheap properties in Tuscany. There are also LOADS of overpriced properties in Puglia and Sicily.

[@nicolaprandel8043]

beautiful. I live in northern Italy in Trentino (in the mountains near Austria) but since I saw you I'm dreaming of moving to the south. congratulations I always follow you

[@mradventurer8104]

I am looking at both. The south has the star vaulted ceilings but is dry The north is green and closer to Germany, Belgium etc.. why would you leave the north?

[@nicolaprandel8043]

​@@mradventurer8104my dream is to live in the north in summer and the south in winter. for the milder climate for the sea. the north in summer is less crowded and cooler

[@0schubert]

So much taste! The filming is exquisite, the music, the food and people. Stunning!

[@majamoore6209]

I love Sicily. It would be great to see more offerings from there. Thanks! I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@marlyfreely74]

Love your videos. Hello from the USA. Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

[@markquiram9012]

Nice town - great properties!

[@SabineBeckerPUSH]

As always, a beautiful video! We definitely spent a lot of time in Puglia, and really love the cisternino/Selva di Fasano area. Although living in the middle of a town is not for us, I still appreciate the first apartment you showed in this video. Happy new year, Marco

[@fromtheblackcouch]

Ciao Marco! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a Very Happy 2025! Thanks again for showing some really affordable options. The bathroom in the first home is epic in my humble opinion. What can I say? I like an open bathroom. Second home might need a bit of a renovation but is still very livable. Grazie as always! See you in 2025!

[@gurgenmakaryan4428]

Happy new year! Another butifuly prepared content!

[@amymegginson-uz7jj]

Loved these homes!

[@MonsieurLabbe]

Love your videos ❤🎉😊

[@MEK71]

Great unit, would be curious to see more units like this under 200k......ur videos are the best

[@HMDcoinfinder]

I have seen all your videos and i want to say that you create the greatest videos! hope New video come soon 😀

[@sadaboutit]

How wonderful, gorgeous food and restaurant....what a treat

[@DROOPDAWGYDAWG]

Awesome 🎉

[@AnneFERNANDO-wj1zg]

Hi Marco Loved watching your videos. Planning a visit to Puglia in March and thinking of visiting Bari, Salento, Galatone. Still researching areas and houses. Need to get a feel for the place first. Lovely houses .

[@11riehldeal]

Great video. Keep up the amazing work!

[@TangentOmega]

I love the unrenovated tours best. On the renovated properties, all I see are the dollars needed to remove goofy design choices like the duo uni lofts crammed into once-majestic spaces. 😕

[@victoriascranton4322]

😂 absolutely agree! Such tasteless renovations…I love the ugly fixer-uppers the best if they have great bones that is!

[@curious1264]

Fully Agree!

[@bucklberryreturns]

At least it's not an unliveable batchelor pad for tech bros this week. Edit: My bad. Mezzanine "definitely not in the living room" bed rooms... So impractical if you want guests, and understand adults doing adult things.

[@Calcuttasnippets]

You must be an architect or designer... The raw spaces give your imagination a canvas... ❤

[@ellacarson2048]

I dislike the mezzanine bedrooms

[@londonbabe2467]

I’d definitely want a walk in ready to live property. Furnishings included with a garden if possible

[@MayaWilson-g5r]

Perfect, Marco.

[@daniahjean-francois]

Hello. I just discovered your channel. Yes Italy is beautiful did a group tour first time, and second was a shorter vacation. I would go thousand percent with 2nd would like to make my mark on my home. Short of the lottery project seriously begin my search in 2 yrs after opportunity to truly explore. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉

[@diosdadomontemayor4209]

The first home was a dream. Merry Christmas.

[@jocelyneboutot5722]

Galatone is beautiful and the food looked delicious

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

I always like walking around Europe videos but curious to see what is inside those beautiful residence building

[@barbieholicable]

First Home is a winner!

[@equatorialcat4569]

PS would love to see some country homes near the sea

[@mradventurer8104]

Great! Nice finds once again. I likes the first house most I think , but a 5m high shower room is slightly overdoing it imo though ;).

[@cosmodoc]

If I had the money now, I would buy either of these homes! I hope you find similar properties in the future, so I can buy one when I have sold my house in the UK!😊

[@tpugca]

Cannot believe all that food was lunch. Where do you live in Italy?

[@Capital194]

Well my criteria just about matches exactly what you said, around 100k, in a town which works with the 7% tax rules, 2 bedrooms and preferably in the historical center. A railway station would also be nice. Would love to see more like this. Thanks.

[@screenfixer1936]

Puglia is stunning 😍...for me there's no region in Europe at this level ,

[@suzyq555]

OMG tasteless renovation in such a beautiful building #1!!!

[@surf01er66]

Well done....thanks

[@AnneFERNANDO-wj1zg]

Any leads and ideas about touring Galatonr, Salento.How is transport in these areas. Your thoughts

[@vishy]

Beautiful, stylish videos. I think the properties are a bit meh though

[@victoriascranton4322]

Agree on stylish videos...the first property is definitely meh, and the second has great potential, but only in the right hands and with the right concept.

[@davidkendall1614]

6:30 That was LUNCH? 😮 Did you go to Galatone or Gluttony? 😂

[@patriciasandler3964]

The two "bedroom" are not adequate, but the apartment base is beautiful. I would use the back room as a bedroom.

[@equatorialcat4569]

First house is stunning. Question, what is the occupancy of a town such as this as there does not seem to be many people around? and is there a piazza with cafes?

[@Lara-ym2py]

Thank you for your videos. Me personally like bid renovated houses from your previous videos . Also I mostly like food you eat each time ! 🍆🩵💜💚

[@spacecoastaesthetics6990]

So tempting...

[@angelagradney9537]

This was Great. I would like to meet up with you when I come to Italy in August. If this is possible could you please leave information on how to contact you to set up an appointment. I am very interested in buying property in Italy. Thank you so much.

[@Justdreamitaly]

Send me an email to [e-mail] 👍

[@dartex9718]

The second one is nice.

[@llee8325]

It's just SO HOT in S. Italy, except winter.

[@paulgilliland2992]

Heritage pork is on a different level to any other white meat. In the 1980,s pork producers brought in the scientific community to do something about the high fat content in pork which they did but eliminated all pork’s unique flavor profiles in the process. Now that pork products are basically controlled by 2 or 3 multinational corporations, it’s difficult to find heritage meat even in Los Angeles. I found some ribs from France at my local Wildfork in marina del Rey and we made them last night . The results were fantastic.

[@IgnoresTrolls]

The courses just kept coming in the restaurant.

[@marybethlosch6641]

Is all the window glass frosted?

[@desdem70]

Any idea why the 2nd floor of the 2nd house doesn't have star-vaulted ceilings? Did it have them and they're hidden by lower ceilings or is that just the original design?

[@claudialaurendeau2865]

That was enough food for 6 people. How do do stay this thin eating these meals??

[@danielaluisiburns9993]

It's the quality of the food and the quality of life. We also tend to walk around a lot more.

[@11riehldeal]

Do you have to be a seafood lover to enjoy living in nardo and salento generally?

[@obfuscateidentity2329]

Would it be possible to show a map of the city that you're showing in just so I don't have to Google it. I know you said the area close to Sorrento but how is that Puglia or Calabria? Now I must check the map 🗺️

[@2ndlife-ql1hc]

enjoyed your video, while there are many eye-catching news saying Italia has 1 euro houses, especially in those smaller, poor, and population losing cities especially in Southern Italy, is it true? while, many of those require some substantial remodel to be livable, have you personally researched any of those? so it may not be costing exact 1 euro, but some may be 1k or 10k euro? do you find any worth to have a look?

[@johnflanders7558]

Happy seasonings. I'm looking at a place i like in Galatone. Just read review of gustavo; not that great overall according to google. Looks yummy but maybe more special for you.

[@steviemiller6645]

Can someone tell me what he is saying just before he tours a home? It sounds like abbiamo, but it doesn’t make sense to me. I am currently learning Italian. Help! 😆

[@victoriascranton4322]

Andiamo - Let's go :)

[@Beautytrends77]

The first property I loved but the windows I didn’t like. Looks like you can’t open them and they look like jail cell windows.

[@DonnaWalker-l8d]

Marco you sound American but speak Italian like a native. How did you learn the language?

[@katmooneyphotography9974]

We've been playing the guessing game here as well. My guess is he's Italian and English is the second language?

[@eksbalz1991]

Can non Italians buy property in Italy? I’m from Malaysia and interested in buying the second property.

[@Justdreamitaly]

Absolutely non Italians can buy. Shoot me an email to [e-mail] if you’re interested.

[@BradandRoxieGill]

How sad that veal is a popular dish in that area. The poor little sweet calves are forced to exist in such a tight confined space (a stall or crate) their entire lives, where they literally are not given enough room to even turn around. This of course leads to very sad, frustrated calves that are sickly. Most people aren't aware of the cruel treatment the calves are forced to endure because it all goes on behind the scenes where most people don't see.

[@tyhg22]

Ga - la- TOE- nay

[@TheAcer925]

I LIKE THE 2ND PROPERTY. I COULD TURN IT INTO 3 RENTAL PROPERTIES. CHEAP PRICE FOR THE GREAT POTENTIAL.

[@victoriascranton4322]

Oh God, no way. I would turn it into something subtle, beautiful, and minimal with neutral tones, subtle furnishings, and curated art and decor...just like the patina on that gorgeous exterior. This property can be art....no THREE rental properties, no way, no all caps either🧚‍♀

[@FirstLast-rh9jw]

Not exactly view properties...

[@guitarlearningtoplay]

Those are not nice homes so those are not deals at all.

[@RoseBornagain]

The food in Puglia is awful, no quality dishes, very boring and tastless. I know I live in Puglia. They only eat pig, pork , not quality meat as north or central Italy, they can't cook fish. the typical dessert is pasticiotto custard cream , the wine is neither great...

[@danielaluisiburns9993]

As an Italian born and raised in Bologna from apulian parents I think your comment is a little harsh. The wines from Puglia have been, for the longest time, been purchased from the largest producers of Tuscany to be cut/ mixed their famous Tuscan wines. As far as the meat, it's a different way of processing it. Fish, they know what they are doing. Then again, if we are creating the same old division North/South, the county as a whole has a vast variety of cuisine. Hard not to be appreciated.

[@cosmodoc]

The Primitivo is one of my favourite grapes ever!

[@onestoryhero]

I can’t imagine to live in an apartment where you must use light during the day becouse it’s so dark inside. Literally a feeling of living in a cave 😏

[@onestoryhero]

Tho thank you for the video. As I love Italy I will watch your videos with pleasure 😉

[@funghouls5498]

Buone feste Natalizie Marco. Two sweet properties showcased here. Always look forward to what you have next.
