Italian home-hunter finds a gem in THE most underrated city in Puglia, Italy - Martina Franca

[@discoverwithvladimir]

Your way of creating these videos , documenting the cities and the houses you visit, are of a very high quality ! Well done!

[@Justdreamitaly]

Grazie 🙏

[@Kenquinones]

I was going to say the same, the concept and the way you make these videos, bravo!!@@Justdreamitaly

[@nashwamedhat7974]

Thank you, really I enjoy the video from A -Z ,amazing❤

[@adventurefreaksss]

Yes, great work. What cameras are you using? It almost has a film like quality. @@Justdreamitaly

[@KaterinaFerrara]

Grazie da Texas come sempre. Non vedo l’ora di abitare in Italia ❤

[@CzechBarbaraElliott]

YES, YES, YES ! I totally agree , it is the most underrated town in Puglia. I absolutely adooooore Martina Franca❤❤❤❤

[@lacrosse1314]

The city is Baroque and I'm just broke but your videos let me dream. Thank you!

[@melissabitz3889]

😂I can relate, but dreaming is good! You never know, we might end up in Puglia someday. 😉

[@johnohara1433]

Very nicely done video. So pleasantly low-key unlike some other high pressure Italian home sites. However this tiny apartment seems overpriced. The kitchen would give anyone claustrophobia. and the bedroom upstairs is as large as a standard prison cell. The city is very pretty.

[@warrentrout]

Great editing. No dirt, trash, or graffitti. That takes some work in southern Italy.

[@DT-vc7hd]

Never heard of this town before, but I'm planning to research more about it. It's beautiful and so clean! You absolutely nailed Gabe's request, I hope they purchase it.

[@matzzzz]

Mouthwatering every second of your video’s Wether it’s food, the city or the property!

[@justinwood7683]

Love your work Marco! Heading to Puglia next week. Largely because of your influence. Thank you!

[@honesty.integrity.respect]

Absolutely STUNNING! I would move there is the blink of an eye... 😍🤩❤🙏

[@melissabitz3889]

Bravíssimo, Marco! Thanks for sharing this gem of a city. I live in the south of Spain so I´m accustomed to living in rather small apartments like this one and I think it´s charming! I´m really partial to the tendency in your region to paint things white and then have little punches of color. You have a way of combining all the elements to give an enticing snapshot of a place so keep doing what you´re doing! ❤

[@Justdreamitaly]

Grazie! Glad you’re enjoying!

[@sonnylovesfreddy340]

Fantastic video and just the perfect little apartment.

[@mediascapes2011]

A doghouse yes

[@christinehedary1491]

Love your videos!! I just return from Lecce, it was amazing!! I remember passing Martina Franca while traveling the long distance from Salerno to Lecce, so thank you for this video, in fact thank you for all your videos!! The pasticciato was amazing in Lecce!! I will try to recreate it here back home in Texas!!❤🇮🇹

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Haha. Good luck with that! Post your own video so we can see. I was also recently in Lecce. The incredible quality of the food, which is so, so simple, lies mostly in the impeccable local ingredients. I think that’s why Marco says Just Dream Italy. Best wishes.

[@patobryan7745]

My grandparents were born in Martina Franca and I will have relatives living there. I would love to visit one day. One of my cousins just came back from visiting there and he tries to go at least every two years.

[@KaterinaFerrara]

You are the best tour guide ever. I would have to see all the churches. But you can give them 2 minutes 😂😂

[@mediascapes2011]

I think it can be done under 45 seconds

[@roby72s]

I was born in Martina Franca. Left when I was about 21. It is one of the most beautiful town in Puglia.

[@loismanzi2442]

Such a beautiful area. I never heard of it and my grandparents and relatives come from Puglia. Very tastefully restored home and worth the money for a vacation home in such a lovely area.

[@michellesellick6827]

Beautiful architecture and quaint, Italy really is a beautiful country.

[@rosaliegalasso791]

What a pretty city! I will put in on my list of cities to see!

[@ronen160]

what a beautiful city.

[@davidseward8511]

Thank you Marco, another beautiful video. I will be visiting Puglia next April and Martina Franca has been added to the growing list of cities to visit. This unit is almost perfect for what I would want, if it was just a tad larger. Thanks once again!

[@redwoods7370]

Gem of a town.

[@johnkirk7855]

Thank you so much for this video. I was stationed in Martina Franca in the 80s and absolutely love and miss it.

[@yusufabukaarmen270]

Great area tour, food too! and it's nice to see renovations which avoid 'cookie-cutter' materials, like wood-grain glazed floor tiles and Ikea kitchens. Still, I find this small apt way overpriced. I'd love to see places at lower prices, still needing (at least some) renovations, the kind of place a buyer could still choose much of the end result. Grazie mille!

[@snakey319]

noticed a few for sale signs there.

[@finniganyork9608]

Such a lovely city! I like how you show the streets and buildings. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@simonworgan4279]

Wonderful videos. The city tour and restaurant portions are my favorite parts. I hope you make some videos in Tuscany down the road!

[@Justdreamitaly]

That’s the plan :-)!

[@olgasampis9745]

I ve been there.. is gorgeously 😊

[@thedude579]

Ostuni-Gallipoli-Monopoli-Polignano a Mare-Fasano-Lecce-Brindisi is my favourite triangle in puglia. Beautiful beaches, great food and drinks all provided by people that know how to live very close to heaven, while firmly rooted to their home soil.

[@MarcelaR-dh1ok]

I love the Med...purchased my first home in Marbella back in the early 80s...it was also a small furnished apt with balcony and views of N Africa, and Gibraltar....and I won't mention the price, but it was far less than 150000 euros....in fact it was a very very small fraction of it.

[@aleksanderplawski]

Great video and town. Been there few days ago. Absolutely gorgeous place!

[@joyce2077]

Love the city. The apartment is very well appointed and cozy. It has an appealing decor. Thank you 🎉

[@saskia8295]

My god! Italy is so beautiful and your videos makes me feeling like I am there right now❤I can smell Italy, I can fel the atmosphere!

[@trishmalibu6986]

Very beautiful quality and imagination is amazing

[@kristinheimburg1371]

Gorgeous city. The only detraction of the apartment are the stairs.

[@Patty-vn8kn]

Beautiful! Exactly my kind of place!

[@lehaught]

Your videos are fantastic. The images, the narration, the food all beautiful. The properties you highlight are interesting but are you working exclusively with Alex Norton, you seem to the showing the very same properties. I’m sure there are other properties that don’t ever make it to KZbin, how about touring some of those? Will be visiting Puglia in a couple of weeks and looking forward to visiting some of the restaurants in the videos, thanks for the content!

[@iamscorpiowilsonimvu]

An city like Martina Franca I'll definitely recommend this an best Destination too visit or residence for internationals for it's underrated hidden gem of it's Towns history and beauty!

[@SahirMomin111]

Wow. Great job 👏

[@snakey319]

The homemade pasta and sauce looked so good, I could taste it.

[@DAVEJJR]

Even though my beloved mother was from Portugal and my dad from France. I’ve always loved Italy! We just came back from a week in Naples and I would definitely consider buying a flat in this region…..

[@christinegerard4974]

Bravo ! Superb !

[@garlicgirl3149]

Beautiful and bright city.

[@GreatWaterCircus]

Brillinat video... thank you... I'm looking to move to Spain or Italy...both look amazing, and the food, the history ... of both countries is amazing. Thanks again.

[@kasiaserkowska1344]

Super, super nice!

[@desertfish1460]

This was my town.I lived here and had a house in the country I would say Piazza Settembre is the main square. I very much want to move back.

[@iona2670]

This is the first video I saw from you and it is quite captivating..bravo for the video making

[@semsemeini7905]

Shucks!!! I saw nearly every town in Puglia except Martina Franca!!!!!!

[@jackiemahan4643]

Your videos are so innovative and fun... Love you presentation!

[@gloriaortiz1227]

[@veronicastanesco6368]

Hi Marco We Love your videos and overviews of the great towns and properties in Puglia. Would you be able to do one on either or/and Soeccia a gorgeous small town with tge most amazing pastry shop for some of the best Pasticotto we have had called Martinucci. Or Tricase which is a stunning day town but also has a gorgeous Port to swim in and also a great eatery called mename. Their vegetarian Panlibro (like a pannino) with buratta which was gorgeous.

[@bigreddallas2742]

Just discovered your posts, and l'm binge watching them. Your balance of area information, food "sharing" and the well filmed interiors of the properties make for relaxing and enjoyable viewing.😊 Now all l have to do is find the leprechauns gold and you can find me a home!!😂

[@patlsmith404]

Would love something in that area around $30-$40,000. Doesn’t have to be fancy but livable. Thanks!❤️🥰💥

[@kirkshrum6222]

Bro your doing a great job, video quality is top notch! Is this your side hustle or a full time job? Cheers Kirk

[@brianwalsh3091]

I would buy this if there was a bathroom upstairs….love it

[@Justdreamitaly]

Haha I thought the same thing!

[@teresaharrah4316]

This is a stunning city!!!!

[@noodles2681]

wow, what a beautiful city. Love your videos. Would it be too much to add transportation info to your videos? I wonder how easy or difficult it would be to fly into Rome then travel to this city like this.

[@paperinik69]

If you are flying into Rome the best option would be to get a high speed train into Bari and then either a bus or a car rental if you wish to visit the area, which I would recommend. Also flights from Rome to Bari are cheap if booked ahead

[@davidseward8511]

@@paperinik69 I just booked a one way flight from Rome to Brindisi next April with Ryanair for 62 Euros including the fee for one checked bag, which was twice the cost of the airfare!

[@fulviomiglio4162]

Good choise, I'm Italian @@davidseward8511

[@dashermediayt]

Your videos are always gorgeous, with beautiful colour schemes and clever cuts. You deserve way more views! Could you maybe branch out a bit and just take us on a trip round the whole country? 😄😄

[@kathifailor4660]

Hi I've been researching a lot of Italy and homes and for the size of this and the fact it's quit away to walk with groceries but the size of kitchen etc it really is overpriced! I think .. maybe others disagree it's just my opinion this is just an ok nice property

[@conniehanna1843]

Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@equatorialcat4569]

have you done any videos on amalfi and sardinia?

[@stellanbrunnsberg3209]

Beautiful apartment

[@deenaparker8689]

I’ll be heading to Martina Franca for 4 days in late November. Your video makes me excited to see this lovely town.

[@fulviomiglio4162]

Go to Salento too, starting from Lecce

[@deenaparker8689]

@@fulviomiglio4162 yes…I’ll be spending 4 days in Lecce. We’ll probably take day trips to Otranto and Gallipoli .

[@fulviomiglio4162]

Good choise. Lecce is one of the most beautiful cities in the World. If you can (not expensive) go to Matera (Tom Cruise 007 scenery), Santa Maria di Leuca, OSTUNI and of course Sicily (I suggest Taormina and Giardini Naxos and Alcantara River and Etna excursions. And for food ask for "arancini", "fritto misto" - fish), melanzane alla parmigiana, every kind of pasta... cannoli siciliani and meringa for dessert, arancello and lemoncello for the final alcool. For the wine , go for Nero d'Avola, best Sicilian red wine.@@deenaparker8689

[@fulviomiglio4162]

In Lecce, ask for Salento wines, ask for "della casa" if you are on a budget, it means from the region, not from the bottle. Take a serious look on the wine menu, they are good@@deenaparker8689

[@fulviomiglio4162]

Ask for panzerotti, better then pizzas and you save the half price. And ask for "caffè leccese"! And ask to every people, they are very kind, even if they cannot speak English, don't worry, they are happy to help tourists. Try to meet Italian people

[@brightlight6113]

I would definitely would want to add some windows in this house…

[@charliebarker1719]

Do they have homes for under 100K in that area. Would love to see what is out there at that price

[@fulviomiglio4162]

Surely you can find at 40.000 K

[@kathifailor4660]

You can find really nice homes in nice little areas with 5,000 People close to the sea for a lot less than this ... To me for Italy this is a bit pricey for Italy But yes there are amazing homes for very very cheap that don't require work at all or some very little just paint 😊

[@Bertulijan]

Ciao! Did u check real estate in Monopoli? would be very interesting

[@pawlieblog7967]

Hi Marco! Cute place you found! Any chance you could show us Galatina, something in a similar price range or less? I’m considering that town as a possible relocation. Ciao, a piu tarde! (Stephania)

Beautiful house but far too expensive. I am from a place nearby and know the area very well. ♥️

No window to look out from the living room and the bedroom. But price is good.

I might become a patreon, new to the channel or just found it. I was wondering are you a citizen of Italian? Do you have to become one in order to look for property to buy? Thank you!

Would it be possible, if you do recommendations on the Restaurants in Salento? Thank you in advance.

[@fulviomiglio4162]

Everywhere you go, wou'll be never disappointed, take a look about the amount, often you can eat well at a 1/3... Ask locals!

[@joyannesloan8384]

I realize it's a warm and sunny climate in Italy but the utter lack of windows and nature is just a non-starter for me in pretty much all of these homes. Also being that Italy is a very food centered culture, I cannot understand the miniscule kitchen closets which seem impractical even for one person 🤔

[@LUIS-ox1bv]

Much of the architecture in the Mediterranean, North Africa and Mission style in America's southwest, exhibit this feature. The sun can be very oppressive.

[@johnatyoutube]

The town is absolutely gorgeous, but why does it look empty? No people or cars. Was it summer holiday season? The apartment is beautifully restored, but the lack of windows in the kitchen and very confined bedroom is a deal breaker for most. The lack of stairways railing is also a hazard. I realize that there's little room in that narrow stairway to add railing. Even a rope would be better than nothing. The rooftop terrace is a refreshing open space from the almost cave like apartment. It would be absolutely lovely with some planters and greenery and a umbrella or retractable awning to escape the sun.

Abbiamo appena visitato Martina Franca, ed è una piccola città meravigliosa.

Hello What lovely videos editing an food. WOWZA! OK I am headed to the South to Explore. Looking for a piece of land with a ruin possibly close to a river maybe 3 acres. Close enough to a village to walk or bike and have a town or city with all the amenities no further than 30 to 40 minutes. Prices under $50,000. So where do you recommend? Thanx for such great tours.
