Now that's the way how you sell a property. You are an artist who really understands the true beauty of a home, the warmth of colours, the importance of space. I really liked the way you shoot the property, showed the tiles and explained every small details beautifully
The maid's room is where I'd put a cozy library with a wine bar and a standing fireplace. That would be a magical place to hang out! OMG! That tree was amazing! Folks not only need to stop and hug a tree but sit under it and let it talk to you. I've had some amazing conversations with trees; they are so incredibly wise.
What a gorgeous place. Exciting, embracing - both refuge and showplace. Even the interior public entranceway had more warmth than usual. Imagine how completely stunning the place with some "intelligent," ambient, sensitive updating ! Wow.
Beautiful tiles and ceilings. I too love the Arts and Crafts and can imagine one of my Arts and Crafts Quilts on a bed. Nick, your ability to find these gems is second to none. I just love it. Thank you.
2700 sq ft, for anyone wondering. It’s a beautiful apartment. Those floors are a delight! And the ceiling height exceptional. (And your friend is a snappy dresser 😊)
I’m an American, I lived in lecce when I was a teen for two years it is really a beautiful place to live. I love the culture and the people they are so welcoming. One day when I’m older me and my wife are planning to buy some property and move there.❤
Spectacular space! You have outdone yourself this time! Seem a bit pricy considering the amount of “cosmetic” work that needs to be done. But it is a wonderful space
Wowza what a great place Nick, kitchen & baths need some work but those floors & ceiling! The patterned details of floors, they looked brand new. Cheers Kirk
I remember having seen that apartment you have spoken off..last year .perhaps you can do an update of what the the Canadian has done so far ..love you Nick.
My wife and I love that you are in southern Italy. Love your property tours. You have such a fun and entertaining personality. Would love to see you do city and town tours also …visit some local restaurants and shops while taking us through the areas. The Travel Channel needs to hire you.
Beautiful place Nick! Love those frescos! They are so detailed and just beautiful. That view is lovely. I really enjoyed the ceilings in this one. Makes it feel so full of light and spacious. Thank you for this great tour! ❤
You're setting off my claustrophobia again with those bathrooms, Nick! That third bedroom was gorgeous, though. It is strange how different houses were built hundreds of years ago, as compared to today, with all the connected rooms. Loved the maid's quarters, and the ceilings.
Love this space and the other apartment in Lecce on the ground floor with the open space that housed the animals...and that large property in Orvieto with the guest houses and cantina. Just a few of my favs' that you've showcased. These properties have that italian essence that foreigners admire, the stuff we see in movies. Thanks for sharing!
First the door with the knockers ... The romantic candles on the stairs ... The floor tiles ...can I just snatch them away ? And the ceilings make the place so light ... The terrace is a place that can be made into a little paradise with the right plants and seats .. Can you see it in my minds eye ? I was a lovely tour on a grey day Nick . Thank you !
what a lovely apartment. an instant charm about it so with a few upgrades it can become quite a luxurious space. so much to work with already! those floors are beautiful! some imagination and creativity can really work right off of their classic look to bring beautiful finishes throughout. great find nick!
What a great place Nick, thanks so much for the tour. Charming outside views. Having to go through one bedroom and two smaller rooms to the other bedroom seems a tad strange. What would you use the little rooms for? Dressing I guess. Also wondering how it works with multi owner properties having work done such as roofing and walls? Thanks again, very enjoyable and eye opening videos!!
This is quite unique! Nice to see you with a good Italian friend, Nick! Frescoes and flooring. Stunning. The maid's room would make a lovely private office and quiet space. Good on you for insisting. Once again, you share a treasure with us. Thank you!
This place has so much going for it , the fresco ceilings and old tile floors alone are incredibly charming. The rooftop terrace is wonderful. It could be turned into a jewel box. Thank you for hugging the tree🥰
Fantastic property! What is the square footage of the terrace--sorry if you shared that. Curious about what one can fit on it--is there enough room for a dining and seating area and to grow a few plants? Many thanks!
Hi Margeau, I’m kicking myself now for not showing the whole terrace. I estimate it’s about 20sqm. There was a big table for 8 people and lots of pots. Best wishes, Nick.
Thank you Nick for your amazing enthusiasm for Italy. This property is gorgeous. Is it still operating as B&B? I’ll be in Lecce in June & would love to stay there for a couple of days if it’s still operating. Thank you again for your fabulous videos which I love watching from the other side of the world. 🇦🇺 😍🥂
Thank you.... not only for the introductions to such whimsical properties but to a video style that allows a viewer to drink in every amazing detail! Those floors and ceilings... wow.... To be sure, I'll be revisiting this one many times.
Love Lecce - a Baroque masterpiece. Every street has amazing houses… This one is really beautiful - wish I’d known about it when I visited.. Definitely want to return and explore more…
Ciao Nick, you do love a good knocker. The property is beautiful, it does need some upgrading. I think the price is set for it being, an income property, I think it would be nice as a single- family apartment. Thanks for showing it. Love from N.Y.
at 9-45, what an exquisite view, like peering into a Vermeer painting, serene proportions and views through one lovely doorway and then another. So beautiful
Oooh, the frescoes and floors! I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago, and you are delightful. I’ve already learned much about original ceilings, floors, and basic good taste in Italian style. I love how you love antiques, animals, and gardens also. Your laughter is infectious and your enthusiasm is inspiring. Sending a big thank you from Apache Junction, Arizona.
Nobody can sell a property like you do, you sense the love you feel for these properties! You’re man in Lecce , Marco,is …. Well what shall I say… eateble ..! I would move my easel any second to paint there!!!
Really seems rather higher than market prices in Lecce that are not for BnB properties, but rather private homes. One can do better down there, but cudos to Nick, he is the only fellow doing these types of blogs who is totally enjoyable and not insufferable.
Oh yes - with some thoughtful work this would be a whopper, indeed. A very nice property to live in. However, I loved the very end of this vid most, Nick - yes, those old olive trees are so impressive and they all deserve deep respect and love (and hugs, of course ;)) Greetings from DE Joachim
Hi Nick, Yes, it is true that people were much smaller in the 1800 - early 1900's. I lived in a very old farm house that was British military headquarters near Cloverdale, Surrey, Canada in 2000 and believe me the steps were so tiny, the doors also and some of the windows! What a fabulous home tour you did today. I want the maid's quarters for my art studio! Thanks for a great presentation once again! Laara WilliamSen
Someone in Italy told me those doors were like that to stop armed robbers from getting through in a rush. Basically the same door concept referred to in the eye of the needle analogy.
What a beautiful property! Could easily see myself living there… Lecce is such a beautiful place- hope to see it one day soon 🙏🏼 Great tour as always Nick.. enjoy your weekend and see you next week.. PS: Best finish to a tour video ever! 🌳🇮🇹🇦🇺
Really nice knocker! Way to tell it like it is. Prices will only go up in Lecce. Thanks for hugging the tree. It would thank but, you know, it has no mouth. It does have arms and hugged you back in its own way. You’re a great human being, it signaled.
I have been bingeing through so much of your videos and have immensely enjoyed your content, esp w/ how much you appreciate how the owners made the houses theirs and the properties' character. Warning! This is going to be long, but I just wanted to share what I know about how small the pedestrian gates are. From what I noticed, Italy's apartments are structured sort of similarly to the Philippines' Spanish colonial era homes, which were built around the 1500s-1800s and highly influenced by the Spanish & Portuguese. They had all the horse carriages, religious icon palanquins/platforms parked on the ground floor along with other various things that needed to be stored, while the living quarters and guests were entertained on the first floor. Even how they had an inner courtyard to help cool down the house and outer passageways, which were pretty much for the servants while the guests and owners passed through the doors inside each room (pretty much how the owners got to flex their wealth and impress guests w/ how elaborate their rooms could be.) The doors were very much similar to the ones here. Yes, people were shorter back then, but they still had to duck through those particular gates. It was due to a few reasons. One of which was that it lowered the defences of those that entered. It made it harder for people with bad intentions to barge inside & immediately attack. Also, in a form of the values they had, it was a way of humbling themselves when entering the house of another. Ofc the bigger doors were opened when there were important guests and/or parties were held. So yeah! If/when you get to read this, hopefully it shed some insight. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I wish you all the best!
An amazing place. We stayed in a similar place not far from there. My favourite restaurant in all the world is just around the corner. Parking is interesting but all adds to the experience. Have loved this town for years. Husband found it after his RAF squadron went on a training exercise to a nearby Italian Airbase.
I “pu….puuu…puushed “ the buttons as a new Subscriber. Well, I couldn’t be more happy and delighted with your unbelievable tours and depth of knowledge! Wonderful tour and residence.. THANK YOU !🙏🙏🇦🇺
Ok you had me a the tree hug 🤗. I’ve done that a time or two myself being so in awe of the beauty and history in a tree. I get it. Nature , nothing like it. Nick I think it would be great if you could not only do real estate but if you could show the town more maybe interview a local or two. Take us around to some restraunts and such. Show us what you love about an area. I realize your so busy as it is and probably don’t have the time for that but you’d be great ! This home was beautiful and if I lived there I’d maybe make a living room when you walk in and that small bedroom next to the kitchen I’d knock down the wall open it up have a dining area and a bigger kitchen . Didn’t care for where they had that as a bedroom and I really didn’t like the window so dark. The tile floors and ceilings were so beautiful and well Maintained. And to have a beautiful place in that gorgeous town is so wonderful. My grandparents are from Puglia. And they’ve shown me so Many old photos. It’s wonderful to see how loved it’s become. Thankyou so much . Many Blessings ❤️🌹🌻🌺💐🌼🌷🌸
@@italianproperty Nick you have what it takes . Your a wonderful person full of joy and appreaciation for beauty and history and workmanship . Your a Genuinely caring person who’s honest a true Rarity in this world today and people truly enjoy seeing you . We need bright lights in this dark world. Keep smiling and keep us smiling And have a beautiful blessed day 😁🙏🕊💐
It is a wonderful town. I visit two weeks every year. It is great for photography and pastries! I cannot quite place where it is. It would take some doing for me to make it into a home…. But Lecce is a lovely place to live!
Nick do you ever venture south to Portofino? I have visited there two times and its so romantic. Or maybe Lake Como, which is closer to where you usually film?
oh my gosh. i want this. i graduated from LCB and I would gut the kitchen. the maids quarters. the colors through-out the house are spectacular. its not an outrageous asking price. this house is fantastic
Another beautiful Italian property! One of the videos on this channel says ‘CHANGE YOUR LIFE’ which immediately made me cry, because I very much want to but don’t know how. I’m stuck in a humdrum job in a humdrum country. Maybe I should just go on and buy me a Corvette, with matching transition eyeglasses and a toupee and get on with my midlife crisis. I think that’s what I’m supposed to do anyways
Nick, you are an absolute gem! I always look forward to the release of a new video with your buoyant personality. In many of your other videos you talk about olive trees being on the properties. How lucrative is this for the property owner? Can you place a value on the income generated by an olive tree each year? Keep up the fantastic work.
Hi David, Really appreciate your kind comment. I know roughly one normal olive tree produces 1L of olive oil, but these trees are huge! I will have to ask the olive man. 😊 🙏 Nick.
Oh, my! This one is screaming my name. The light! The frescoes! I'm not a fan of the tile, so I would gladly give them to you should I have the good fortune of ownership. Che bellezza! (Did I get this right?)
What an interesting property! The floors and the frescos are cool. I appreciate you showcasing a town in the south. Will future videos present properties in Lecce? Thanks for sharing that majestic olive tree. I know that a bacterium is attacking the trees in Puglia, and millions have died in the last several years. Let's hope this one and those in that grove survive. Thanks, Nick!
I was surprised at the price. While there is some beautiful parts of this property, there are some real negatives as well. None of the bathrooms are up to par and there doesn't appear to be an easy layout fix to really upgrade these. The kitchen is also substandard. It would be a hard one to price. Will be interesting to watch if there's any activity on this one.
I see this thing going on lately in other channels too - if the property is currently used as a business the owners raise the asking price high up, considering the optional "income", but for people's just looking for their next home that's make no sense 🤔
Hi Ram, I understand your point of view if the goodwill of the business is also being sold, but that’s not the case here. The owner is willing to negotiate, so this is a guide price. I know one cannot put a price on light, however, it’s extremely difficult to find houses in historical towns or cities with so much direct natural light. Best wishes, Nick. 🙏
250 square meters is close to 2700 square feet ... lots of space. Bathrooms could do for a remake, yet could depend on how the place is being used. I agree on the tiles, outstanding designs, and seems to match other colors there. The ceilings are super, the windows wonderful, and a nice outside top area, too. Definitely a north African feel to it, although not surprising for southern Italy. And ... 1,000 year old trees? Wow.
Nick, my favorite style is the Queen Anne Victorian, (as it encompasses quite a lot of the older styles together). Then would have to say, the Art Nuevo style. I am a fan of the more is more motto lol.

Nick, you are an absolute gem! I always look forward to the release of a new video with your buoyant personality. In many of your other videos you talk about olive trees being on the properties. How lucrative is this for the property owner? Can you place a value on the income generated by an olive tree each year? Keep up the fantastic work.
Hi David, Really appreciate your kind comment. I know roughly one normal olive tree produces 1L of olive oil, but these trees are huge! I will have to ask the olive man. 😊 🙏 Nick.
I wonder why they're selling. Is the B&B not profitable?
The BnB was being run by someone else. The owner wants to sell. Best, Nick.
Oh, my! This one is screaming my name. The light! The frescoes! I'm not a fan of the tile, so I would gladly give them to you should I have the good fortune of ownership. Che bellezza! (Did I get this right?)
❤️ Yep, but you could also say “Che bello” 🙏 😊 Nick.
❤️ Yep, but you can also say “Che bello” 🙏 😊 Nick.
What an interesting property! The floors and the frescos are cool. I appreciate you showcasing a town in the south. Will future videos present properties in Lecce? Thanks for sharing that majestic olive tree. I know that a bacterium is attacking the trees in Puglia, and millions have died in the last several years. Let's hope this one and those in that grove survive. Thanks, Nick!
Thank you John. Yes, I will be going back. Let’s hope they can find a cure soon. Best wishes, Nick.
I think is a man made just because they have a gas pipeline right there that Tony Blair push so much.
Ok from Transilvania România Transilvania 🇷🇴🏴❤️🇷🇴🏴❤️🙏👍🏴
Beautiful place and an awesome knocker :) Do you know the AirBnB income? It would help people with their price appraisals.
No, but I will find out. Best wishes, Nick.
A diamond in the rough.
I was surprised at the price. While there is some beautiful parts of this property, there are some real negatives as well. None of the bathrooms are up to par and there doesn't appear to be an easy layout fix to really upgrade these. The kitchen is also substandard. It would be a hard one to price. Will be interesting to watch if there's any activity on this one.
I see this thing going on lately in other channels too - if the property is currently used as a business the owners raise the asking price high up, considering the optional "income", but for people's just looking for their next home that's make no sense 🤔
Hi Ram, I understand your point of view if the goodwill of the business is also being sold, but that’s not the case here. The owner is willing to negotiate, so this is a guide price. I know one cannot put a price on light, however, it’s extremely difficult to find houses in historical towns or cities with so much direct natural light. Best wishes, Nick. 🙏
250 square meters is close to 2700 square feet ... lots of space. Bathrooms could do for a remake, yet could depend on how the place is being used. I agree on the tiles, outstanding designs, and seems to match other colors there. The ceilings are super, the windows wonderful, and a nice outside top area, too. Definitely a north African feel to it, although not surprising for southern Italy. And ... 1,000 year old trees? Wow.
Thanks Mark. 😊 🙏 Nick.
Nick, my favorite style is the Queen Anne Victorian, (as it encompasses quite a lot of the older styles together). Then would have to say, the Art Nuevo style. I am a fan of the more is more motto lol.

Curious about the entrance hall. What is the space to the right and under the stairs? Looks like a doorway?
Hi Cat, It’s the ground floor apartment. ❤️ N.
keep hugging
I will. ❤️ Nick.
