I found 2 dream homes in an Ancient Roman Castle on the Sea: Castro, Puglia

[@jawkneekat]

Wow. That second property is what Italian dream homes are made of. Just the right scale for me.

[@nadador009]

Marco, as usual you managed to elevate a sense of adventure and longing for visiting this beautiful region of Italy, if not acquiring a small piece to call my own. Much appreciation and respect for your understated manner of presenting these wonderful properties as well as enlightening us on yet more Italian history. Grazie mille!

[@Justdreamitaly]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! My goal with these videos is not only show the stupendous beauty these places offer but also to transmit the passion that I have for this territory. I know the dedication is worth it all when I hear that that enthusiasm is felt by my viewers. 🙏

[@Salina_Bina]

Love your videos! I already bought my 1st Puglian home and I can't wait to get there!! Also, thank you for telling us the prices of things again, like food. It's really helpful for people to get a real picture of some of the costs of living there. That $3.50 breakfast would be double where I'm currently at.

[@olgasampis9745]

Where are the prices?

[@Salina_Bina]

​​@@olgasampis9745 he mentioned it in the video. $3.5 for cappuccino and pastichoto. Lunch was $18 for the fresh catch fish and beer...which was a little pricey for lunch.

[@olgasampis9745]

Your video editing gets better with each video. Some truly spectacular location shots. Love it.

[@lisac4225]

I always have to comment love that you are reviewing beautiful places in Italy and I love that you walk around the town but mostly I love watching you eat all the delicious food it’s great thanks for sharing

[@neilbroome8910]

Always a pleasure seeing the properties you show as well as the towns, food, architecture. You have an excellent sense of composition visually and you do an outstanding job Very special properties

[@TheGlasspix]

You are doing a superb job for the tourism and real estate industry of your region. Keep it up. And yes, properties with sea views...

[@heidichampion2590]

Castro is a beautiful town but gets extremely busy in the summer so having private parking makes this property quite rare and manageable to live in and/or achieve a very high rental price for the area. Love your wonderful presentations around Salento thank you for sharing.

[@kindaclassykindachola]

Buenos días ☀️ from Calabasas. Every property you show us is exquisite and charming. Gracias ✨

[@funghouls5498]

Two lovely properties, but that second one takes the cake. Well done again thank you for showcasing these properties.

[@wernerdanler2742]

That second one is gorgeous, and I dream of having a sea view, but the price is jaw-dropping. I should hope all the furnishings come with. Ciao!

[@JenShea]

Grazie! Both properties are pretty darned special. The ceilings in that first one were magnificent. As you walked through I imagined what I would do with it. The second, with that rather large outdoor space and spectacular views of the Ionian and beyond... the colours... absolutely perfecto!

[@JPDAngelo]

I love your passion for architecture and the homes you show are always wonderful ! Thank you !

[@henrietteancuta-koning7039]

I love the videos. The food, beautiful cities and lovely houses.

[@cyndel4263]

Check this out, Marco 12:18: "... stairs are in GRANITE..." not sure if you can treat this granite with radon to find out if radiation is present. They still use it in construction business in the USA for kitchen and bathroom flooring and countertops. 🤔 BTW, I love watching your video topic about homes, ristorante, and baked goods. So elegant😍🥰

[@Reet64]

What a stellar location in both cases, but that last one...wow!

[@henry5713]

The outdoor area of ​​the 2nd house is great. Beautiful views! What disappointed me a bit was the predominant baby blue accents inside the villa. This gives it the appearance of a daycare center and that detracts from this beautiful villa...

[@John-qb8vd]

So re-paint it.

[@myitaliantherapyginafiore4414]

Had not seen any videos from you in a while. Had to look you up to see how I missed your excellent videos. Love your editing and content. Thanx. Gina in Upstate New York spanning the glove and landing in portugal but theres nothing like Italy. I spent 2 months in southern Italy Calabria and Puglia this winter. Nothing like it having everything to yourself. LOVE LOVE LOVE can't wait to get back

Yes, we are all wondering what happened to you Marco? Tutto apposto?

Marco , I’m a retired real estate investor……. I just wanted to comment on your videos. They are fantastic !!!!! Very high quality …..👍🏼

Grazie 🙏

[@LanceChaseFL]

Wanted to say you were great on Think Media today

[@mradventurer8104]

You have become so Dutch! 4:32 you see a small space and immediately think bicycle parking haha but yes I agree it could be good for bicycle parking (and storing some boxes). Great video once again. I like it that you show the prices. 18 euros for a lunch and 4 euros for a small coffee and snack is not that extremely cheap but affordable compared to the Netherlands. Thanks for sharing!

[@Justdreamitaly]

🤣 It’s definitely a sign! In every home I see I’m always looking for where I would keep my bikes!

[@mradventurer8104]

@@Justdreamitaly If I will buy a house in Southern Europe then I will definitely also look at cycling possibilities! Not everybody does that :)

Love your channel, hoping one day, we will be able to make the move to Italia. One thing that I have enjoyed is the background music you put on the videos. Is it possible to post the name of the songs and artists for the music you use. Keep up the good work we are really enjoying them.

[@dioris8]

Always look forward to your videos. Keep working hard!

[@richardtaylor2361]

those are both super!!

[@blessingsoutlaw]

Are there renovation codes in Castro which limit the extent modifications can be made to these historic buildings? Might be practical to make the bathroom and kitchen into an en suite/walk-in clothes closet, and the other room into an open concept living/dining/kitchen (although I didn’t see piping handy). Love your brilliant content!

[@fraveglie1]

I am not an architect but i am local to this area and i believe that "what happens inside stays inside" - always safe to speak to a local architect but my parents have made several changes to layout to their properties without ever needing to ask for permission. As long as you're not changing the overall sq. footage you should be ok and not break any laws.

[@jackprsline6]

Amazing content! Thanks and can't wait for the next one!!!

Hey there, just checking to make sure you’re OK. Haven’t seen a new video in a month or so now just checking on you hoping everything’s OK.

[@Justdreamitaly]

Thanks for checking in. Been busy working on a few projects and with clients. Some special episodes and homes are on their way 🙂👌.

[@Cr4z33_YT]

Hi I live in Salento (Galatina) and if I might give you a suggestion you should look for less tourists areas. There's way too many confusion and noise on Summer in Castro so go better for the area around Santa Maria di Leuca or all the area south of Ugento. It's quite empty in the Winter, but in Summer you will enjoy better without people caos hehe.

[@zivagrisaru7699]

Beautiful ❤

[@TheZsuZsa123]

I absolutely love you videos! It’s been a. Dream of mine since high school to move to Italy someday!

Can you please tell me what type of camera you are using and what editing system? Oh, and I have one more question (if I may) about the background music....what soundtrack company are you using and how are you finding these classical pieces are available to licensing? I looked on Epidemic Sound and can't find classical music like this. I love your videos :)

$$$but ideal. Don't suppose there are any within budget on the sea, non renovated with indoor plumbing.
