What a magnificent property! The theatre was a total shock! I am lost for words. Thank you for another foray into yet another gorgeous historic property.
Love the idea of creating luxury studio apartments (as condos, if those exist in Italy) and I'd offer services throughout the building - from a staple goods shops to a used books, a place to get repairs and why not even a cantina and deliveries. Why not a coffee, wine and cheese shop on the estate as well?
Lol-don’t even bother calling her TILL: TAX ATTORNEY, and any others that BENEFIT you greatly so you dont go on ‘kid in a candy store’ shopping spree! Just helping with the dream hun, im old and experienced lol. And, might give you a run for your money on THIS gorgeous villa! 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️dream big!!!

Nick, the thought of walking in the steps of a home from the 15th century just give me goosebumps. Here in the U.S. we think buildings are old at 260 years. We have no comparison with 600 year old floor tiles! I am in awe of all those beautiful frescoes and the years of artists on their backs to make them into reality. That grand room that you first showed had me envisioning a ballroom and people dancing away. The clincher for me is that chapel on site. What a find!!! You’ve made minds swirl with the possibilities of this gorgeous estate and what money could do to bring it back to its original grandeur. Thank you again. ❤❤❤
A Nick Ferrand amusement park! All that is near and dear to you in one place. Ok, money aside, just think about the outrageous potential of this property as a destination boutique hotel. The ceilings! The grounds and acreage! The chapel! But wait, a theater! Staff quarters, out buildings, gardens, pool and who knows what else….. This property creates sensory overload. It just seems impossible that you are able to come up with these places week in and week out. No socks worn here on this one. Thanks for a great video.
Holy moly Nick and honestly...I don't know where to begin. I would have a constant crick in my neck and bruised shins from walking around the place staring at the ceilings all the time. As I am a collector of angelic and religious items...when you walked into the chapel with the rosary still hanging on the wall behind the altar, I wept. I myself, sincerely appreciated the respect you showed at that moment. That Nick was the best Saturday rummage with you ever!!! 😊
Nick, I have been binge watching you for days. This is absolutely breath taking on so many levels. You are a true Sag! Your passion and historical knowledge is amazing. We cannot watch you without feeling we have lost so much in this modern world. I have watched you tour us through humble homes and great palazzos like this. I couldn't help but wonder that they survived through two World Wars, countless other political upheavals, other events for centuries yet still retained the beauty, master craftmanship, and integrity of our ancestors who built to last. Thank you for changing our lives with awe inspiring tours of the past.
To all those people who have money and don't know What to do with it....fix these beautiful homes! Absolutely gorgeous. I want to explore every inch. What a dream. Do you leave your ancestors there when you sell??? Thanks Nick that was one of your best!
Push; those buttons! Nick is awesome and his videos are more entertaining than some silly sitcom. This place is more like a castle than a stately home. Who will be the lucky new owner? Maybe Nick can come back and film when the restoration is done.
Your laughter in this video shows the joy of what you do. Thanks for brightening our day. With the right subtle hand this place could become marvelous.
Another incredibly beautiful and interesting property! The frescos are gorgeous and these buildings are steeped with history. The architectural details are a feast for the eyes. It would be so interesting to explore the history of the building and its residents. What an amazing project for the right person with the resources.
Good day Nick" the history you walk us through is truly aww inspiring. Some of the places you have toured spike an emotional response in me and I love it.
Wow. What a trip into antiquity. Even the antique furniture speaks to me. In the evenings, when we had nothing to do, my mother used to take me 'window shopping', from one antique store to another: this is where I developed my love for antiques and things from bygone eras. All thanks to my dear Mother 👩 😘
Well where do I start, the History steeped in every corner my neck would be sore from looking up as you cant take your eyes off the stunning work. it is also like a Antiques Paradise you would gladly spend your days just wandering around, oh how I wish I had the money and the energy to have this, Hope someone buys it but keeps it very much as a place where you still see its story and not all modern. Thanks again for filling my Saturdays with wonder. have a great week ahead xxx till next time, Hugs Dede xxxxx
Nick In it's heyday this villa must have been something to behold but this project will need someone with the determination and financial wherewithal to take this on and do it correctly. I hope this villa finds that person.
All I can say Nick is the best rummage EVER!!! I love everything I'm left speechless can't just pick one thing I love it all ! I would love to see it all Nick I said it before I appreciate the time you take to show us this videos and the passion you have as I also share the same passion for history and beauty in the smallest things and I can spend hours exploring again love your passion ! And once again Nick you can drop the mic on this one ❤🎤
I can’t believe all this for only 2.2 million. My tiny house in Seattle is worth half that. This only furthers my obsession to move to Italy. With such close proximity to the highly traveled places in Italy, this could be an ideal agriturismo.
This is the most awesome property so far that I have seen you present! When I win the lottery, I will buy this and create an absolutely amazing artist residence and art college! Oh and of course I will have room for visitors and servants too and my handsome chauffeur!
This is my favorite home so far ! I could see living and opening a grand place for all to stay. It is fabulous to imagine how it must have been originally. The history alone is just mind boggling ! Thank you for this treat. 💥💕
Now this is a way to end the wonderful day here in sunny Arizona. Watching another of your fantastic videos of amazing real estates. Thank you so much for this free history lesson from an era long gone RU-vid after RU-vid.
Gosh! What a villa....and this stuff all around! A weekend would not suffice to rummage through, you'd need weeks if not months. And to deep-dive into all the history and stories that building has gone through - amazing indeed, Nick. And the price is a joke for all you would get for your money. Thank you so much again for brightening up my weekend, Nick. Stay safe. Regards from DE J.
Wowzer & double Wowzer ... totally fascinating! Thank you so much ... Loved the theatre , everything ... Your problem is topping that for watchability & interest!
I'd love to see more! Amazing property! With a committed restorer, could become a nice income generator. Can't really get a sense of value though without seeing the other buildings and an aerial of the grounds. Sounds big enough to host a huge wedding and its guests.. Close enough to become a tourist destination. Years of work though.
I'm not sure there are adequate superlatives for this extraordinary property. I suspect one could easily make at least a week's worth of videos and still not do justice to the entire offering. I had to abandon my usual game of 'what would I use this room for' within minutes of your tour beginning, as the number and sizes of the rooms began to unfold. You must have been exhausted by the time you were done wandering through such a fantastic labyrinth of rooms. What an amazing example of art meeting architecture in perfect balance, including the variety of updating and renovations done thus far. As for the theatre and the chapel... I am dumbstruck. This video will require several viewings to even begin to absorb all that it has to offer. Thank you so much, as always, for your knowledge, passion and patience introducing us to these Grande Dames of the past.
Oh my goodness! How they used to live. The restored areas give confidence to the potential for the remainder of this 'phenominal' property! And you have the plans....! I do hope it finds its way into the hands of a respectful owner who sees beyond the commerciality of this stately home. The view from the terrace was so unexpected. Thank you, Nick. I shared your delight from room to room.
Absolutely stunning - hundreds of years of history. Imagine carriages drawing up on that drive for weekend parties, Counts and Countesses with their servants to wait on them etc etc Its just fascinating, I hope somebody buys it to renovate as a whole, and not divide it up. In terms it's massive vfm. Great vid...again!
Don’t know how many wows one can come up with…… needs deep pockets but if money was no object what a fantastic piece of history. I wonder how many rooms there are, I do love the chapel Thank you so much for sharing
I'd love to learn more about this. There aren't many family homes 600+ years. Think of what the residents have seen and who they hosted. Wow. Where's the art I wonder? Because other than those beautiful frescos, wine and oil vats and crumbling statues there had to have been art. Incredible, Nick.😍
I think a lot was sold at auction. The story is amazing. I'll be happy to send you further information. Please just email the office. Best wishes, Nick.
Seeing it physically, as you do, must be enthralling and breathtaking Nick. i am re- watching videos from ages ago, and delighting in some of my favourite ones. Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Venice, Capri, so many that take me far, far away from the South Island of New Zealand. 🥰
Wow, wow, wow!!!! Such an amazing estate. It would make a spectacular boutique hotel, and even though it needs quite a bit of work, what an investment it would be! The location is ideal and the views are sublime...love this!
You got me at the Chapel. The ancestors had mass said every day. Really fantastic and it would be just lovely lovely having it on the property. It meant you could go and contemplate in peace and quiet your problems. I wish I had the money to restore it.
And a theatre!!!! Wow, Nick. What a fabulous house. Absolutely loved it and the chapel! Thank you so much. Just loved it. Would love to know more about the history. xx
Some would pay the price just to rummage through the buildings just to see what they could find. To bad you couldn’t spend a few hours recording everything for us. This short 😉 video is a teaser. Thank you for this one Nick cheers 🍻
Phenomenal is the word! Meravigloso! The price seems v e r y reasonable considering all included you describe. For an investor with a vision and good economy backing the enterprize it will hopefully be restored in full and nothing altered to effect the beauty of this building long term (or present day). Anyone looking to create 10-15 large luxurury suites/ apartments with large common facilities and functional spaces need look no further. I'm a romantic, so I prefer dreaming of an affluent enthusiast of history with a large family, or several families sharing a careful journey of restoration and discovery of hidden history over time. (probably not *sigh*) The views to go with all of this are other worldly. Was the blue in the distance the sea? It definately looked like it. Sooo much work, but what a wonder to work on! Your careful filming, editing and commentary is also phenomenal btw. 😍👌❤️
Nick you are absolutely killing me!!! How can you NOT SHOW THE REST??? Ha Ha Ha!!! Great tour but you left me wanting to see more. Thank you for the great tour and for the torture of not showing the pool, cantina, wine room etc... Another great project this would be. Be well Jersey Lou
You had me at the front doors and 15th century. The frescos were magnificent! They alone are unbelievable treasures of pure talent. The HISTORY! The PEOPLE who have trodden those tiles and stairs over that period of time would have so many tales to tell. The energy emanating from centuries of life and death in this Villa would be amazing. Love it . The Theatre and Chapel was an unbelievable bonus. You cannot begin to imagine or appreciate what the Villa has been through 😍. Thanks Nick, have a great week. 🌦❤️🇦🇺🦘
Nick, Wow! I don't know what to say! I don't know where to start! This is incredible property with a fascinating history behind. Everything, absolutely everything is "STUNNING". Yes! Needs work but for the "right" person with an open mind and a good heart shouldn't be a problem. The location is perfect for any business or a fancy family "retreat". I can imagine a fine resort with different events: wine tasting, wellness events, and yes, dancing is a must. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Enjoy rest of the week :). PS: Nick, You may want to consider " subscription" going forward for all of us who can't afford those places but enjoy watching your movies. I love Italy, Italian architecture, Italian design, Italian fashion, Italian food, wine and coffee and wouldn't mind to contribute.
Ok Nick, i subbed short while ago then neglected to visit but now, will be here. Had to stop the vid at 2:40 because my breath is gone-wow-STUNNING! Dancers, twirling, fans aflutter lol can almost hear the ‘ensemble’ of musicians.
Wonderful property, and a great video that sent me down a fascinating rabbit hole trying to find the source of the inscription on one of the frescoes; 'vel pulchra minus vel fortior' Apparently Vincenzo De Filicaja, a 17th century poet/politician/intellectual, and friend of the Capponi family and the queen of Sweden, wrote a sonnet on the enslavement of Italy in which there's a lament that Italy was not 'less beautiful, or stronger' and perhaps would thus repel its aggressive admirers. Absolutely wonderful piece of architectural history❤
Boy, this property is incredible with so much potential! Can definitely see luxury apartments here. Living history for sure. Another amazing rummage Nick. Well done! 👍
Well, Nick, this time I am speechless…….hmm, so much beauty, so much character, so much history, and quite some work to be done. But everything is possible having enough money. I really hope that the buyer concerns deeply about the property and its inherited value. Thanks for this amazons video!
That was so much FUN! For me, the frescos alone justify a good portion of the selling price. I also really like the simplicity of that cantilevered staircase. The renovations are well done and provide some good clues on updating the rest of the building. The chapel rivals most US churches in its beauty. Nick, we're definitely on the same page. At one point I was oohing and aahing as you entered a room, and you chuckled. Another fantastic presentation. I wish you videoed the rest of the property for another episode, but there are plenty more places to see. Thanks, Nick!
Wonderfull, wonderfull, wonderfull, what a tour! An quiet ear to that place over the centuries, a few books could be written. Blessing the recent century wars spared it, unlike other parts of the world. The Place Gratitude
Thank you Mr. Ferrand. The main room looks like it would get nice cross-ventilations, so it would be cooler than spaces without that capacity. In any event, it's so spacious and with thick walls, seems like it would be quite comfortable in summer. Even so, I just prefer fall, no matter where it is.
When you came though into the courtyard and panned up to that top floor balcony, I thought Romeo & Juliet property for sure! And so well positioned between fantastic cities too. What a venue for weddings that gorgeous hall would make! I manage vacation rental properties so your rummages always set my mind awhirl!
It is beautiful! What a treasure. I can only dream. You would need experts bringing back all the ceilings. It would definitely take some deep pockets. TKs for sharing
Awesome!!! What an stunning Italian Vila. This is a large project. I mean is more than apartment here or there. It deserve a good project of restauration. The price is a bargain, 2.2 millon. I enjoy all the property, the frescos and the theatre,. Amaizing. I follow you for more than a year and a half and this is one of the top ten propetys. Thank you Nick, and congratulations for a magnificent job
Thank you Xavier. I loved it. So much to see and what history. I know these houses are not for everyone, but they are so fascinating. Best wishes, Nick.
Hello 👋🏻 Nic. I enjoyed your video. However I wish you would of made a part 2 to this video. Filming the other buildings and land. Bye for now and looking forward to your next. ❤ Debbie from Canada 🇨🇦
