Italian house-hunter discovers 3 ART filled dream homes for sale | Food & Home in Puglia: Nardò 

Update: the asking price for the second home has been lowered to €290k 👍.

I love finding channels before they blow up and get huge. Clearly that’s coming, lets enjoy this little community while it lasts! ❤

Thankfully there's still a place for genuine hospitality and real warmth. I truly feel your stylish non pretentious way of pulling everything together on this channel beautifully represents the italian culture. I happily watch each episode eagerly awaiting the next. Your knowledge, the cuisine and architecture without gloss speaks volumes.

Marco you have outdone yourself in this episode. We absolutely love Nardo (we are heading there again in 2024) and also visited Cafe Parisi and loved it. Thanks for sharing the restaurant recommendation as well. We will be booking into it. The properties were stunning and our favourite was the second architecturally designed property with barrel vaults and cool interiors. So well planned.

My family visited Nardo from London a few years ago, for the 1st time in Pulgia. Nardo was recommended by one of my Italian friends from Lombardy. Nardo I can say without hesitation is the best town and I have ever visited in Italy, and I have travelled Italy extensively including Sicily from the South to the Dolomites! We would go to Cafe Parisi each morning and try something different before setting off, and that restaurant was right near our AirBnb, we ate here 3 times (yummy!), there are other restaurants just as good in Nardo with different varieties of dishes, you could say the gastronomic centre of Puglia?? In summer the place is absolutely heaving in the evening, with buzzy, packed streets, open concerts, and markets, but not crazy like other European towns packed with tourists, most are Italian in Nardo and from all over Italy! We travelled around extensively on our 3-week holiday and used Nardo as a base, the beaches are amazing in Salento and visited other historic towns. We would come back to Nardo most evenings and have dinner, speaking to locals, people out of town and tourists like us, a very friendly atmosphere. Likewise, we had a terrace as well much like the 2nd property, after dinner/drinks, late at night we would open a bottle of local wine, and stare into the stars of the crystal clear Puglian skies! Thanks for the video, these properties are so cheap compared to other places around Europe and have so much history............ Nardo has beautiful baroque architecture.........very nice presented video thanks!

Love #1. It has everything you need.

Marco, you are truly a magician! And there's no better stage than Italy on which to perform. All of the hard work you put in behind the scenes has paid off once again. Thanks for yet another stellar video. I gained 5 lbs. just by watching you eat in Nardo.

He's late for lunch because breakfast ran long.....

Impressive production as always.......love these small Italian towns, full of characterful buildings & no doubt 'characters'.

Your videos are beautifully format, narrated, filmed and edited. You showcase thoroughbred architecture. House #2 made my heart skip with yearning.

I liked the first two buildings most! I don't like huge buildings as much unless it would be for B&B, hotel etc then it could work well. Only thing missing in these videos is 1) nr of rooms not stated explicitly 2) how to get there from the airport etc. But I really like your videos. Thanks!

Ah finally another episode! Keep up the good work/Eindelijk een nieuwe aflevering! Ga zo door svp!

Food in homes to me that is the essence of life

Grazie da Texas come sempre ❤

I love house # 1 ❤. Thank you for sharing these houses.

#3 I would make the room between the kitchen and terrace a huge eat in kitchen.

The tour of the cafe, restaurant, and real estate was all very charming. Thank you for sharing it with us. I look forward to seeing much more...it is an intriguing journey.

MARCO! Dude you’re killing me w/that food! I was drooling! Good to see you back at filming, missed ya! I’d take property#2. Cheers Kirk

Glad you’re back ! The toilet position in that second house is nightmarish 😂 but the property is amazing - all of them are beautiful.

Professional you are while fun and enchanting! Thank you so much for all that you do. Linda in Washington State USA (wish I was already in Italy!)

wonderful video!! The 2nd apartment is quite "different", and the landmark-protected exterior walls provide quite a challenge when creating new living spaces within - the windows seem so haphazardly placed. I love the tall ceilings, and all those steps will keep everyone's thighs supple!!! Lots of potential here - I hope the tourism and residential money keeps flowing in, and the city will be very well rejuvenated in a few years' time.

Yay Marco! You're back. I hope you enjoyed a lovely Christmas break. My fave was No.2, but damn, that food 😋🤤 I can't wait to get back to Italy...

Again amazing properties. Funny thing about the tiny kitchens. Meals are so important, you’d think they would have given Mamma more room to work. In Portugal, the kitchens are bigger… and from what I’ve experienced, more the heart of the home. Grazie.

You find the homes and apartments that I would be interested in purchasing and living in. Now convincing the fiancé to relocate.

Beautiful video as always. Thank you. I love the vaulted ceilings in Italian properties.

That food! Wow!

Another gem of a video! Aspetto sempre con felicita i tuoi video

Each place had such unique features. I couldn’t pick a favorite!

Apartment #1: Not crazy about the bathroom being off the kitchen, but my goodness! That stone arch! The high ceilings and frescoes?!?!?!

The wait is over, finally a new video. Thank you

Wonderful video as usual, absolutely love your style!

Great work

All lovely homes!! Thank you for showing those!! Love the restaurants too!!

Loved apartment nr 2 💚

Thank you 😊🎉

Loves it all including the food

I like this format of three properties and price ranges. Keep them coming as well as the wonderful food spots :)

How do you stay so slim, with all that gorgeous food? I appreciate the floor plans you show onscreen. #1... ground level! And frescoes!!

I visited Nardo for a day in the summer and went to Caffé Parisi. It was so good I went back for a second time on the same day!

Stunning No. 1 and 2 for me new subscriber fantastic finds

Excellent job, thanks !!!! Can't find espresso where I live...apartment # 01 definitely.... Happy New Year !!!!

Ciao Marco! I enjoy your videos very much. I noticed you have not posted lately. I am planning a move to Puglia in the next two years. somewhere near Lecce... keep up the great work!

Great video and review. Wish I was was with you experiencing all thar AUsomeness!🥰❤️😋Definitely above m6 budget, but gorgeous.

Love this channel .. Have to say the prices in this episode do not really sound appealing at all despite the character of places covered

Love the beautiful homes but I would love a sea view. Boun Anno

Love your videos! We attained our Italian citizenship and will be looking to purchase in southern Italy. We hope to connect with you as we love your style and taste. Thank you for creating your channel and sharing. 10:30

house number two ...oh my.

I love house 2. What are the property taxes? Is electricity and internet reliable? Thanks.

Stop it, you make me hungry and thrist 😄

Wow no wonder Italians are so animated.... my Dad was...... with the daily expressi. 😂

So civilized!

Please mention the number of sleeping areas or studies that can be used as sleeping areas. It was a bit hard to follow this time. Also, please mention the range of offered considered.

Another cool vid Marco. Apt 2 all day. Similar to modern Mexican interiors. My wife was pissed that you didn’t have desert.😢😅

The rug decorated with Swastikas (12:05) is an interesting design choice. Definitely don't see that much in the US.

i could move there just for that pasta!

Any recommendations on Italian language schools ? I was thinking studying Italian in difficult areas may give a better feel for a place then just traveling through.. also would give a base to work from, to explore areas around Italy ..

Yeah, that rug at the entrance of house number two......... Love the second place other than that, though I have some questions about trying to keep the kitchen area looking that minimal all the time.

Oh, I’m sorry I commented before I watched the lunch video. OMG just amazing I’m telling you here in America just don’t get even it very very exclusive restaurants you just don’t get food that fresh that looks like that.

Love the first apartment frescos and finally below 100k cost! Who maintains the common garden area such as in home 2?

Did anyone else notice the swastika's on the rug when 1st entering the 2nd home? I love your videos and thought you should know. You can easily see it at 12:09 mark.

I put on weight every time I watch you eat. 😂😊😂😊 I know this is on the coast, but it is southern Italy after all, so the prices seem a bit disproportionate for the region. That being said, I absolutely loved the second one. It is the perfect size for a single person or a couple. Those vaulted ceilings are perfect. The owner did a good job of renovating it. It's gorgeous! Ciao and happy new year. 😊

You still have to keep the thermostat at 86' Farenheit in the summer! So even being from Texas, Americans cannot live in that heat!

In the second apartment, are the furnishing included?

I bet the chef spent the entire day at this

What is the classical music score? ❤

Sorry if this question is deemed inappropriate, but perhaps you could offer an opinion. My husband and I are an older gay couple, looking to retire from the U.S. and relocate, at least for part of the year, to Italy. Do you think we would encounter any problems living in Puglia? It’s not like we’re drag queens or anything, but we have encountered some issues on previous trips, mostly in Naples and Sorrento. Any thoughts? Thanks. We love your channel.

Is the second apartment still available?

Hello, you should really set the first house between breakfast and lunch, so as not put all of the food emotions in front. Thank You! No. 1 but also 2 are beautiful even if the price for the latter is a tad steep. Thank You!

Marco oo I'm poor ahah

Apartment #2: What's up with the swastika rug at 14:17?

Are you left handed or do the Italians eat the fork on the right hand😅

Are there any homes in that same area under $100,000. that you can live in before renovations?

How in the world you are so skinny with all that food. Delicioso 😋 😋

My family love your videos but you keep making a common mistake regarding space. You often refer to a space as being xyz meters square. What you actually mean is xyz square meters. Eg. 100 square meters is one hundred square meters BUT 100 meters square is a massive 100 x 100 meters = 10,000 square meters.

My husband and I LOVE your videos, but we don't think a rug with Swastikas is a selling point!!

great homes! beautifully done videos, and the food was amazing looking. Maybe next time edit out the Nazi iconography. Even if we understand it intellectually as not being an aggressive act, it's just a bit jarring.

Was that swastika on the carpet of the second home? Unfortunate! Think I preferred the food more than the accommodation.

Did…did that carpet in house 2 have swastikas on it? Bruh…😆

I like your videos but would more like properties that fit a normal persons wallet.

OMG what a horrible city and houses!
