Who wouldn’t love living in a historic home in one of the amazing areas of Lecce, the Florence of the South! Today I visit the capital of Salento, taste some of its delicious typical food and go on 2 house tours.

House one is in San Cesario di Lecce, asking price 170.000,00€ and house two in San Pietro in Lama for 85.000,00€.

*Correction from the video: Lecce is the 5th largest city in Puglia – not the 2nd. Thanks to those who picked up on this.

  1. Thank you so much for doing the house tours for us, I’m really loving these house tours and Lecce looks beautiful, since I’ll be on the Amalfi coast in the Summer late Summer, do you have any idea? What’s the best way to go from amalfi area to Lecce? If anyone knows, please let me know. Thank you.

  2. One of my favourite shows of recent has been Stanley Tucci’s Searching for Italy and there is so much of that in this. This creator is just fantastic and it is so easy to listen to and absorb the content here, just fantastic! Keep it up!

  3. I love how you give adequate and interesting information without going on and on and on on the same feature, good job 👍

  4. I just started watching your channel and subscribed. This are insane prices compare to southern california! i own property here but want to sell everything, relocate to italy, and invest there to rent to ONLY turist. I am tired of renting properties on a yearly basis here. I have explored just a couple of areas in italy. (tuscany ) and just came back from visiting abruzzo. I will be back this summer to explore puglia, and see where i will finally buy something to test the market. Is there any way you can provide the link to the properties you are showing here? Thanks

  5. I love the first house, but he second it's so cheap and really you can do a lot with it!

  6. Lecce is NOT the second largest city in Puglia, it's actually the fifth after Bari, Taranto, Foggia and Andria. Do some research upfront my friend.
    Great video anyway! Keep them coming.

  7. Wow. I’m so impressed with your content. It is TOP! Grazie da Texas. Vogliamo abitare in Puglia. It’s a dream! ❤.
    Listen I would love a slide at the end that shows some data like
    How far to the beach?
    How far to Rome via train? My husband thinks Puglia is too far south.
    You said 5m from Lecce. Would this be by train? Must we have a car?
    Closest airport?
    Average temps June or January.
    Grazie mille!

  8. It should be mandatory that a listing include distance to nearest church bells and ringing schedule.

  9. I was stationed not far away, in nearby Brindisi from 1983-1986 and still miss it! Lecce has always been one of my favorite Italian towns.

  10. Im stunned to see both apts for 85k,thats incredible,ive just found your channel and subbed,you present really well,thanks

  11. ..i am almost ready to sell the new york condo. i guess, i will trade for 10 of these? plus have enough spare for renovation and furnishing.

  12. Ooofff no the second one has basically no windows or natural light, very dark and oppressing feeling even in the video, I would definitely not spend 85k on even two places with that few windows, especially due to the muffa problems come winter 😬 best of luck with the search. Lovely videos

  13. Вы снимаете плохо! Камера дёргается! Держите её и не трясите, а лучше купите стабилизатор!

  14. Amazing video, but I believe Lecce is the 5th largest city in Puglia.

  15. All over Europe, and Greece, they eat tons of bread and pastries (more bread), but they really do not get fat … but in America we have a huge obesity problem. If you read the label on a loaf of bread in America, most of the things that are in that bread are not even allowed in the European Union (chemicals).

  16. It looks like the house in the “Clue” game…. Kernel Green commited the crime in the parlor with a corronetto

  17. I like your style! great videos and commentary. This is a beautiful, unexplored part of Italy for me.

  18. I love Lecce and plan on visiting this summer. Did you film this all yourself. I love the shots of you walking away and to the camera. Great shots!

  19. Sorry, a quick correction: Lecce is not Puglia's second biggest city (I'm not sure why you guys that market properties there keep saying this), Taranto has almost 200,000 inhabitants and Foggia has around 150,000…Lecce is the most touristy and surely the most attractive, but is quite small in comparison to the others that I've just mentioned

  20. It would be nice to show closer the flooring, and any original tile. Not everyone thinks ripping it out is better.

  21. I am enjoying watching your videos. Second house extremely good. Bottom for b&b, top floor for yourself. Keep doing great job.
