I can't tell you how much I enjoy walking these Italian towns with you. I've been wheelchair bound for 44 years now, so you make it possible for me to experience something that I could never do on my own. Thank you.
11K views I told you people would love Gubbio. For all of you looking for investments in Italy. Cantiano, Gubbio, Spello, Orvieto, Montefalco, Gualdo, Todi, Bevagna, Norcia. These are the future popular cities in Italy. If under the Tuscan Sun was to be filmed today, this is where it would happen. They are places where those of us who want to experience Italy as an Italian would go.
Hi Such a beautiful country ~☆♡☆~ Dad's side~Italian ~DeFranco~ Definitely have this pull & great desire to visit & would LOVE retiring to Italy. Thankyou for sharing these awesome videos. Blessings Always ~☆♡☆~
Interesting fact: the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York displays the studiolo that was ordered by duke Federico da Montefeltro for the Palazzo Ducale di Gubbio, around mid 1400's. An amazing room covered with woodwork panels that is so worth to visit.
BTW, your videos are always interesting wether you find real estate agencies or not! 😉 I am planning on making some investment in Italy myself and maybe moving for good in further years too (I already listed my own house here). For the time being I am doing the research and your videos are very helpful. Greetings from Argentina! 🇦🇷
Just a guess, but the metal rings with animals above them look like a place to tie up the horse for a short time when going into the building. Horses were used for transportation, so seems a reasonable guess.
Congrats on your 7th anniversary of living in Italy. The housing seems to be affordable. In medieval times, were there many defensive family towers in Gubbio as in other Italian cities?
I can't say that I can answer that without searching on google for the answer. I've always toured briefly on my own, so no museum or history tours I can reference.
Haha, I enjoyed the challenge. I'd like to go back and explore some of those prices. I was surpised to see some lower prices in the historical center based on the online research I had done before coming into the area.
Nice walk through. This is what my wife and I like to do in Italy - go to small, out-of-the-way towns and walk for hours, stopping in non-descript restaurants.
Did you already know a little bit of Italian and what do you recommend as far as fastest way to learn other than living there? That is why I love Italians, fashionable (nothing wrong about your flip-flops!!) LOL. One stone building/wall is more beautiful that the other! Love all the stone work.
@@bunnyunicorn5209 Umbria is an exceptional place at many levels. Nature, history, food, wine, architecture traditions and people all concentrated in one of the smallest regions in Italy.
Wow, that's a really beautiful, well-maintained town with quite a bit of life which is nice to see. But those flip-flops ... are they really compliant with la bella figura??
I like your video you did a good work with this video, actualy all of yours videos are good :-) . I like this town Gubbio. I'd like to moove someday to Italy when i'll be in pension when my kids will be on there on..... because i like Italy a lot , I am lucky because i live in Czech Republic and i am not far away from Italy so i can visit Italy often.
I like it a lot too. Sounds like you've got a good plan for the future. I'd love to visit your country some day. I've been too focused on Italy so far.
Dauvo! Don't get rid of your flip flops yet; you will need them when you visit SoFlo , they are a central piece in the elegant wardrobe of every resident ! 🤣 Many thanks for showing us this beautiful part of Italy; the properties shown in the real state fliers were excellent bargains!
DauvO Thank you for all your postings and all you do for us; many blessings to you and the family! ... save your new flip flops for next summer visit to Spain's beautiful sea coves ! 🏖 👍👍
This is really helpful. I want to migrate to Umbria in the next couple of years You've given me a quick view of prices - quite reasonable! I just found your channel and will be following you.
Thank you for your videos and information. My wife and I are watching a lot of your videos - practical, easy to understand info! Liked your FB page too, we are new subscribers! Grazie
Thanks Rosa! They've done a really great job at maintaining the medieval feel after all these years. You're right about it being peaceful. Especially up on the hillside switchbacks.
We rode up in the gondola as we were driving through the area. We will never forget the signs on each gondola "non dondalarsi" (don't swing!) It's too bad you didn't show the basilica and the glass tomb of St Ubaldo. There is also a piece of his petrified finger on display. It was very creepy. Umbria is gorgeous though.
Beautiful indeed! Love the brick work, narrow steps and storybook style homes! Any reason why the walls of the houses are in close proximity to each other? Does these residences get enough air and light due to the close proximity of the neighbouring houses? Enjoyed the vid! Keep vlogging!
I like Mimmi's response. About air and light, I could only make assumptions as I've only spent short periods in these types of areas. I assume it would be the similar to living in some areas of Milan and New York in some cases though a bit more exagerated. haha. Thanks for watching, Asha!
Hola Dauvo! Me gusta Umbria un sacco. Favor dime cual de esos pueblos me conviene comprar. Voy empezar a tramitar mi visa de usa. Orvieto and Spoleto would like to find something
Andiamo! Abbiamo città’ MEDIOEVALI in Italia, ovunque... Gubbio è carino, ma è un paesino di 30.000 abitanti... il most beautiful è assolutamente fuori luogo ( io sono nata e vivo a Bologna, ste vecchie casette mi dicono veramente poco).. anyway, good work
C'è mai stata o giudica dal filmato? Naturalmente parliamo di una cittadina, ma ha una magnifica cinta muraria che arriva a coprire buona parte del colle sovrastante. Internamente e sempre dentro le mura c'è il corso d'acqua deviato artificialmente anch'esso posto sotto opere difensive e punteggiato da un dedalo di viuzze e ponticelli, la cittadella sviluppa verticalmente con salite e tornanti oltre che passetti e una scenografica scalinata a serpentina sotto il palazzo. In basso verso le mura lo spazio si allarga e troviamo diverse piazzette a ridosso della cinta. Fuori mura troviamo le vestigia del teatro romano, tutt'attorno lo scenario dell'appennino umbro marchigiano . Ma se per lei sono casette ce ne faremo una ragione. P.s. Anche io abito a Bologna e ho sempre trovato che Gubbio assieme a Siena siano le uniche realtà di città, medievale la prima più rinascimentale la seconda,veramente e fieramente abitate dai locali ad avere un senso di continuità storica.
Hi Sergio. Yes US businesses can invest in property in the United States, but are treated pretty much the same as a foreign individual in most cases. The llc would be for your protection within the US system, but you would need to study how Italian law affects you. I recommend strongly you talk to a lawyer or accountant about this, since it is a complex subject.
Bunny Unicorn520 thanks for your response. I was not familiar with offset accounts but reading about it I don’t think that is what I had in mind. What I have in mind is to brrr (buy cash, rehab, rent, refi, repeat). Looks like non-Italians can borrow up to 50 to 60 percent of the property value
@@DauvO yes they're to dissuade people from walking or sitting on the wall, it is quite a dangerous fall on the other side. They were installed recently, though. Here in this picture you can see the people farthest to the left (diagonally) are all sitting on the wall: www.itinari.com/gubbio-s-corsa-dei-ceri-pdek
Okay...so you have a stained shirt, don’t know that the office has moved, and you’re wearing flip-flops in Italy! You’ve been there for seven years and you don’t know if a festa is a sagra or a sacra. No thanks. Can’t trust your real estate acumen if you’re not dialed in to the country.
If those are you key ingredients for a wealth of real estate knowledge then I can't change it. There's nothing that states I have to act like an Italian in order to gain Italian experience. Thanks for watching anyway.
DauvO - That guy’s a jerk. You’re totally honest about your background and knowledge, and are someone I’d highly value as a friend. Ignore him and know that the rest of your viewers love you!
