We renovated our new (old) Italian home in Galatina in Puglia Italy! We purchased this property sight unseen and renovated this historic building built in the 1600’s ! This video shows our almost final product of our renovated properties. We hired electricians, plumbers, builders, tilers, and painters through Edil Casamia here in southern Puglia. This project began in July 2022 and we are now moved in to our renovated Italian home. A big thank you to Pietro at LUBE kitchens for our beautiful kitchen and making our dreams a reality! We are New York natives who moved to Florida then to Italy for a better quality of life! We live here year round thanks to Dennis obtaining Italian Citizenship. Want to retire early and move to Italy? We show through our videos that it is possible with just a little help along the way. This amazing project couldn’t be done without Salento with Love. Davide and the team have been amazing with all the coordinating and direction on this project. We are so grateful to be able to do this with them helping us every step of the way!@salvesalento @salentowithlove3314

I’m still looking for that damn cactus lol. It’s so beautiful, so proud of both of you
Maybe add a door underneath the deck so you can have storage hidden away.
Spent ten years in nyc before moving to Italy. Come visit with me in Rimini
It is so beautiful. Well done. 🙂
Your place is coming along beautifully! Cannot wait to see the final result. 💕🏡
It's everyone's dream to have a wonderful huge open door place to hang out in, especially under Salento's lovely weather. I can image how enjoyable it is to spend time on your rooftop. Having excellent patio furniture and plants while sipping café or local vino while relaxing and enjoying the dolce vita that Mamma Italia has to offer. Saluti da Milano.
Waw… that patio is huge.. perfect for the inauguration party.😊.. I will bring the wine 🍷.. I hope both having a great afternoon
Wow, the deck looks amazing. What a fantastic job you did on the house. It has been a joy to follow you. Best of luck in the future!
Beautiful! Living the dream!
👍😃👌❗🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 GOOD !
cheers from Emilia – Romagna !
It is so beautiful!
I am considering to move to Italy for retirement and wondering what is the sea water is like. Can you swim there year around like in Boca Raton? How’s the weather compared with Boca?
Was it difficult to work with contractors there? How much per sq. ft or sq. m remodelling is?
Meanwhile I started to learn Italian
Thank you for sharing your experience
