    We want to retire in Italy in 10 years. Lecce looks great! (We have just started researching after visiting Rome and Naples last year.) Thanks for all you do!

      That's great Cydnie! Nice job starting the research early! Lecce is a pretty cool place. Driving is a bit crazy downtown, but you get used to it. Thanks for subscribing!

      It really is! It's even better in person. Cameras never do it justice. There are so many street peddlers and restaurants open in the evening. The streets are always buzzing in August!

    Many thanks for taking us in this stroll through beautiful Lecce. I must say I got in late, and thought you were somewhere in Verona, since it has that look with the polished granite /marble pedestrian streets. Thanks for all the insider tips about things only a local would know. Most important, you are giving us a sense or “taste” of the different communities and regions you visit, and hopefully will allow us to do a better informed decision in the future as where to buy/visit. With our Covid lockdown in SoFlo, we are traveling through your lens; many thanks !! Very much appreciated!! All the BEST !!

    We spent a week in Lecce taking an Italian class 7 or 8 years ago. Great city. Also, if you get a chance, visit Galatina - nice town and some interesting real estate. We spent a long weekend there and stayed at Palazzo Baldi which had a lot of character e non troppo costoso. The local coffee - Quarta Caffe Oro - is superb. It has a hint of chocolate - almost as if the bean is coated with a layer of cocoa (I don't think it is). Try it if you can.

    • @DauvO

    Hi DauvO, the whole city is made of tuff (Tufo), including the amphitheater, remember this when you go around Italy and find tuff constructions. As in Monferrato.

    • @DauvO
      @DauvO  4 года назад +2

      Thanks Giuseppe. Here they often call it Pietra di Lecce since it is specific to their area. I've learned a lot about Tufo recently since it was in Zungoli as well. Appreciate your comment!

    I've visited Lecce a few times, love it. One of your chats asked about Air B&B i Lecce--there are some great ones and not just in the "downtown" area. I stayed at one about a 10-12 minute walk about NW of where you are filming, and it was fantastic with a small equipped kitchen. Go to Lecce for a 3-4 days and take your time eating, shopping, walking around--stay another day or two and make trips out to the beaches or other towns a small train or car ride.

    • @DauvO

      Good idea! Wish I had thought about that at the time. When she was crying in the water, I assumed it was fish nipping at ther legs and she panicked and jumped on my back at the thought of it.
      I think if it was up to Italy, they would have already let you in. The EU seems to be the driving factor behind the block. I hope it is soon!

      Hi Katherine. Products and services are typically cheaper here. Some people come down here to save money during the sales period since they'll be coming down for the beach anyway. Milan has a lot more options during the sales though.

    Don't you find Italy expensive to live, though?

    • @DauvO
      @DauvO  4 года назад

      It depends on which part of Italy you're in and your income level, right? If you don't need to live in Milan or another large city, rent is not bad at all. Food tends to be more fresh, but with 500 euro per month we feed my family. Less than 1000 euros for all our fixed costs due to not having a rent or mortgage payment isn't all that expensive. In south Italy, it can be even less.
      There are certain things that cost more due to high taxes for sure, but if you live a minimalistic lifestyle and don't need to buy every new thing that is available, I think it's actually less expensive at times. It really depends on what area of the world you're comparing it to.
