What a stunning base to work with. Me personally. It would be one home. Downstairs living area with a beautiful garden. Put in a private staircase to the second floor and Wow. What a living space you would have. Beautiful on the outside. Gorgeous on the inside. Great home.
CUTE! I'd leave it as 2 apts. adding a bathroom downstairs. I would open the wall between 2 bedrooms upstairs and create a large kitchen, dining and living room. Also paver part of the garden for a BBQ/al fresco dining area and a wine cellar in the other grotto with plants going up the rock. Thank you for another great video!
I laughed. I lived. I cried. And then I cried some more. The blockbuster hit of the summer. Both a tour de force and a tour de farce. This film clearly shows Dave's maturation as a filmmaker. I mean, he finally learned to bring a torch into a dark space. This is progress. 🙂
Love this one! Love what the neighbors did with their garden...I would build a rock wall back a few feet and keep the entrances to the two caves in the original stone protruding out with uplighting inside the caves. I would be happy with living on the ground level with a beautiful bedroom that has access to the garden area. Great find!
Nice property but always something to do. Would love to see a couple that are a bit higher in price but ready to move in with plenty of windows & renovated. Suitable for older person. Love having a garden & small balconies.
Now this one I like and the price is amazing! Def put a living room down stairs with a small bathroom on the right side and a staircase on the left. Glass patio doors out to the garden with a tiled space for a table and chairs, bbq etc. and then the caves can be used for storing plant pots and other outdoor things with nice lattice type doors.
Beautiful property, it would take another 50K to get it to where you’d want it with nice kitchen, finished lounge with bathroom, stairs and nicely appointed upstairs… keep it as one stunning townhouse. ❤. Still a wonderful place for a great price!!
Love love love this. I would do two apartments: on the ground level a bath and bedroom in the back, kitchen/dining/living in front. The garden would stay a garden with fabulous romantic grottos, lush flowers, outdoor dining and grill. Upstairs I might do the kitchen/sitting room in the front and leave the two rooms in back as the bedrooms. Live on the ground floor and rent the upstairs unit to pay the bills. That's me sorted 😀
What a beauty!!!! Private stairs to the upstairs bedrooms and it would be an absolute beautiful home. Clean up the garden area and wow, what a place. Gorgeous home. Great video and excellent find.
My partner and I love your videos. We're both looking at possibly moving to Italy in the future so these have been very insightful for us. That said, there are a couple of areas in the videos that drive us a little nuts. When you show us the views from windows, porches, and balconies you tend to linger there for what feels like forever or when you show us the same view from different windows...again lingering there. I would hope most people watching the videos get it, it's a beautiful country and we don't need to see it every five minutes :-). Last thing is your offering of opinion on what to change or where to put stuff. We love new ideas and I'm not saying you suggesting them is a bad thing, but maybe tone it down a bit in the future. Not everyone has the same taste in design.
Thank you for all these great videos ❤I love that you discuss about the town and all.around..plus ur funny..looking to maybe buy a small home I also love Abruzzo my mom is from Corfinio. I've been many times ..thank you all these great videos..have you and ur family been there for a long time
Dreaming of a full staircase with bookshelves underneath and a larger bath downstairs - and oh the possibilities of that garden! Lovely views - would need more work to get it to my dream status but it’s priced accordingly for some lucky buyer. A good vibes place heart❤
I absolutely love the views...I would tile the outside like the neighbors area yet have raised gardens on the perimeter- because then you'd have the best of both worlds- you don't need a huge area for a garden if laid out right- personally I would split it up for a rental....get my money back then possibly live alone afterwards but meeting other people would be fun ❤
I'd use the back bedroom on the right side for the staircase, with a space under the stairs for a half-bath (or whole bath?) on the first floor, since the plumbing from the kitchen and upstairs bathroom are right there.
What a wonderful home, I would used it as a one family home. Downstairs works great as kitchen and dining room with the back room as you recommended with the staircase and living room with a small water closet. Upstairs I would definitely use the front room as the main bedroom.
This one's a beauty, David. I'd consider buying it now it if I were ready to move. Vittorito seems perfect for me and my family. I'd make this place one home, with interior stairs. Downstairs I'd have a MB, small lounge, a dining area, and a kitchen. In the end, this place would have 3 bedrooms in total, 2 full baths, a kitchen, a dining room, a downstairs lounge area, and an upstairs lounge/office area. I'd make the currently undone room a master bedroom (MB). To accomplish that, I would put a second wall about 3 ft deep straight ahead into the currently undone room with an new door leading to the MB. This second wall to the MB would also create a new hallway space as you enter the currently undone room. In that new hallway space, I would add interior stairs to the upper floor room in left corner of the hallway space, and I would add a new ground floor bathroom on the right side of the hallway space. I would put a table and L couch in the entry room near the open kitchen, and I would convert the unused fireplace to a cabinet for storing dishes. The kitchen table would go in the corner close to the front window. The TV and L couch would be in the area by the wall where the phone is currently hanging. I would cut into the wall with the phone to create wall storage cabinets leading to that narrow storage area beneath the communal stairs. The door in the kitchen beneath the communal stairs would lead to a food pantry. Under the new stairs leading to the top floor in the currently undone area, inside the MB, I would add a storage closet. In the upstairs room where the stairs would emerge, I would have a metal railing that separates the stairs from the rest of the room as opposed to a full new wall. I would eventually make the caves outside into storage rooms and add stairs above them that lead to the street from the garden as the neighbor's did with their place.
I like your suggestion to make it an apartment. However, if possible I would put the stairs on the side you suggested for the downstairs bathroom with the bathroom below the stairs. That way you're not taking up too much of the total space. Also I'd put travertine in that room all the way through the outdoors. It's an amazing place at an amazing price. I wish I was ready to snatch it.
I pick option 2. I'd want it all for myself, especially the garden for me two little pups. I agree where the stairs would go, especially since it doesn't have a balcony. I'd love to have the bedroom with a view as my bedtoom!! I love this house!! Maybe a half bath could go in under the stairs to the 2nd floor so you don't have to run up the stairs when hanging out downstairs.
I like it! Nice interior design, beautiful exterior, really nice view from every window, especially from upstairs, I love the street in front and love me some street lights illuminating my house, but I think it is spooked and that is why they did not finish renovating. Caves or whatever are creepy. With the sun shining in, it looked fine, but we need to see what is inside. Every time a house comes with such caves, they are not shown. For a creepy reason. 😂 I always imagine them to be a nice hiding place for confused zombies. I guess I watched too many horror movies. Well, the owner needs to tell you why they stopped renovating.
Beautiful property! My only worry would be the garden spot with the soil wall. With the climate changes we’re seeing, what would happen with constant, steady rain? But still, a ‘stunning’ property for the price! Thank you Dave & Domenico! 👋
Personally, I would want this to be one household and so would need private access to the 2nd floor. I would however seriously consider installing an elevator rather than an internal staircase. Not only would that require minimum lost space on both levels, but even if it were a more expensive option in Italy than in North America, the cost would certainly be offset by the incredibly modest price of the property itself. I've noticed elevators becoming more frequently seen in private homes lately, perhaps partially due to an ageing population, who like myself develop issues with stairs but would like to live in a 2 or 3 story home. Some elevators require little more space than a large coat closet which would certainly make it feasible in this instance.
I'd make it one apartment. Upper room on left divided into a very large walk-in closet and shared bathroom w/shower, tub, etc. Downstairs open up, add a couple of windows and finish the garden out...........probably all for under $100k total? Screaming deal. Very tempting to wire $55k USD! Do they offer construction management?
I’d have all the public areas on the front of the house where road noise wouldn’t pose a problem, I.e. Kitchen/lounge top and bottom. I would split the back room on the ground floor with one exterior door to each of a bathroom/laundry on the right while facing the back, and a decent sized bedroom on the left. Upstairs, the same, but with two bedrooms which I would lease out for income while I stayed cozy with my lovely garden on the ground floor.
Heat radiators but no split units for A/C? Kitchen fireplace is just for show and not usable or could it be made into a gas (or electric) heat unit? (assuming the unit has gas as well as electric)... Upstairs remove bidet, put in handheld on toilet, move toilet to bidet area, make shower a lot larger/longer on that wall, changing pan size also. I think that would help immensely. Great place.
Just put in a small spiral staircase and you don't have to lose the bedroom. You still have the communal staircase for moving larger items. The small spiral staircase with just be for people going up and down.
A funny aside on this one. I believe I already told the story regarding my quest for a place in Italy involving my special needs granddaughters. As fate would have it, the younger one came up as I was watching this video, and she has "some concerns" regarding this unit, especially where the bathroom is concerned. Highly suspicious of the bidet (of course) and also the fact that there is only one bathroom (how American). Well, I told you this might happen. Hahahaha Still enjoy your videos immensely, regardless of the 'supervision'.
I’m always looking for 3 bedrooms. I’d leave it like it is upstairs. Add a nice full bathroom downstairs and make the big room a nice living room. No need to add stairs, the stairs there are fine. Communal yes but oh well.
There must be a story behind this one ! They've done 75% of the refurb then stopped? It's definitely one property. A job for the geometra to place a new staircase😂
Question..... Could you open the left window of the unfinished lower area room, and create an enclosed external/ internal staircase with landing areas for each of the upstairs rooms with Juliette balcony windows. This way you would lose no space in the house and each room would enjoy the garden view below. Don't know if this is allowed in this area.
Put shower across the end and eliminate that second ceramic thing. Install a combo stool/bide. I would not be able to move my arms in the current tiny shower.
Use a spiral staircase instead to save room and it can be sectioned off to keep a third bedroom. The only issue with the back garden would be proper drainage in the event of a massive rain storm. Lovely place. Do you actually read these?
Dry well with a sump pump in the garden area. I thought spiral stair also since you have great access to the top floor with the common use stairs for moving furniture and such. I thought small deck type sitting area upstairs with stairway down into the garden.
I always hate the idea of having the kitchen dining room right in the front. I'd make that front room a lounge guest reception or sitting room. I'd then put a kitchen in the back room with dining and family room. You might squeeze a wc into that closet under the stairway. I'd want a spiral staircase or a dogleg one up from the back room. I couldn't imagine trapsing up to bed on a communal stairway. That back garden needs some serious work.
Hi All, I'm an australian with no Italian heritage. I realise I cant purchase property due to the countries reciprication policy with Australian residence. Is there any way of purchasing a property in Italy by becoming a resident of anither country. Thank you for you insight and advice.
Hi ! I think you could write a guide before starting the video , so you don’t get lost while showing the property . 25 minutes to see a property is way too much . Imagine me wanting ( I want) to buy a property and urbe to spend 25 minutes in each one .
@@ricardomagnago533 thankyou for your input. Most people enjoy the longer videos especially when we do the town visit first. You could visit our website www.ahomeinitaly.com and view listings just by photos but the YT video properties rarely make it in there. I hope this helps.
Those "caves" look a little too geometric. They are probably ancient catacombs. In many parts of Italy you can't build or dig bc of historical sights. Some have been well preserved, but some are in ruins.
I've watched a lot of your video's and aside from the occasional barking dog or cat, I see no life in these towns. They are almost devoid of any people. Where is everyone?
@@colinvallan believe me these places are fantastic places to live. Remember that these are traditional Italian towns and villages not tourist traps. Children go to school, adults go to work and the elderly hang around the house. This small town has good public transport, 2 bars and gelateria, 1 restaurant, pharmacist, school, doctors, a number of hairdressers (!!!!) and the oldest winemakers in Abruzzo right in the center. Take this plus a number of neighbouring towns with train stations and you have pretty much all you need and a population that keeps them all in business. The beauty of Abruzzo Is It Is real Life. Someone recently said 'Abruzzo Is not for tourists it's for travellers'. It's only when you have been here and experienced it when you can truly understand it.
So all you need is a bathroom, kitchen and stairs. The most expensive reno projects that people undertake short of building an extension are a bathroom, kitchen and busting thru a concrete ceiling to put in stairs. If the builder had any confidence in this place, those things would already be done. Sounds like a money pit just so that you could have a house where you had to walk up and down a flight of steps to use the toilet.
Take down the the wall and make it one big room with the stairs going down. And install another bathroom downstairs. Is there a condo fee because you share the same entrance? What about the roof? Who pays for that?
Your continual and incessant need to give your ideas is actually one of the things that puts me off of your tours. Let the buyer decide! You do not own these homes. G David what would you do with a mountains behind it? Lol almost ready to unsubscribe from your channel. Also stop saying stunning all the time
you realize people actually purchase these homes remotely.. Dave needs to provide detailed info as well as ideas on how to complete a home.. People wouldn’t purchase these homes if he did what you are demanding he does.. your message makes no sense
Well your comment is rather nonsensical. I just don't want to hear him rambling on and on about what he would do with the property. Last I checked David is not a contractor nor architect or even a interior designer. Although his voice inflection would suggest it to be so the latter. I just wish he would keep to the facts and display the home as it is. His ideas I rarely agree with. That's all I'm saying. I believe we can all have our own ideas. And I feel free to express mine. You Nazi people that are only pro David and all this attitudes are no different than Trump cultist following blindly. Stop trying to censor the rest of the people that have differing opinions. Enough said@@ConnieCarreiro
David talks just enough and you are the one who is talking too much garbage. Get lost if you don't appreciate how informative David is. Italy doesn't want negative people like you
What a stunning base to work with. Me personally. It would be one home. Downstairs living area with a beautiful garden. Put in a private staircase to the second floor and Wow. What a living space you would have. Beautiful on the outside. Gorgeous on the inside. Great home.
beautiful ! but i wanted to see the caves and the garden !
Dave finally remembered to bring a torch, so now we just need to get him to wear real shoes instead of flip-flops so he can wade out into the garden.
Me too! Usually these videos go on about the littlest stuff, and here we have a whole cave and no joy. Was surprised that was not in here!
CUTE! I'd leave it as 2 apts. adding a bathroom downstairs. I would open the wall between 2 bedrooms upstairs and create a large kitchen, dining and living room. Also paver part of the garden for a BBQ/al fresco dining area and a wine cellar in the other grotto with plants going up the rock. Thank you for another great video!

Stunning! Lots of great ideas for this beautiful place! Someone will be lucky to own this one!
Nice! Rather than stairs, I would try to fit in a small one person elevator
Love this one! Love what the neighbors did with their garden...I would build a rock wall back a few feet and keep the entrances to the two caves in the original stone protruding out with uplighting inside the caves. I would be happy with living on the ground level with a beautiful bedroom that has access to the garden area. Great find!
That storage under the stairs would be a coat closet & luggage & even a vacuum would fit in there. I'd love it!
Nice property but always something to do. Would love to see a couple that are a bit higher in price but ready to move in with plenty of windows & renovated. Suitable for older person. Love having a garden & small balconies.

Paul we all thank you for the little torch! Dave can’t forget that.
Leave it in the car Dave ❤

That back room and garden could be amazing and could be made to offer the same garden feel inside. Amazing price 👌
What a beauty!!!! Private stairs to the upstairs bedrooms and it would be an absolute beautiful home. Clean up the garden area and wow, what a place. Gorgeous home. Great video and excellent find.
I love it! I’m loving the houses in this town. Will explain when I am there for the October 24 tour! Yes! 👍
I am impressed. Great job brining the light!!
Great video - love your passion and ideas! As a US citizen dreaming of a life in Italy - cannot tell you how much I appreciate your videos! Thank you!
Stop dreaming just move there
Amazing property. So very nice. Great price. Great value.

Das Haus ist nicht schlecht, aber das schönste in diesem Video ist der wunderschöne blaue Himmel ❤
Lindo! Muitas possibilidades e ainda tem um jardim. 🇧🇷
Best ever 🎉
Nice property Dave, that back room I would knock through the back wall to the garden and fit by fold doors all the way across.
We were in that property last week with the tour
Did you go inside the grottos?
@@DT-vc7hd No I didnt
Great home🎉
Dreaming of a full staircase with bookshelves underneath and a larger bath downstairs - and oh the possibilities of that garden! Lovely views - would need more work to get it to my dream status but it’s priced accordingly for some lucky buyer. A good vibes place heart❤
This one really fills your mind thinking about what's possible.
Dave, it’s a ski closet under the stairs! 😂
Looks stunning
I absolutely love the views...I would tile the outside like the neighbors area yet have raised gardens on the perimeter- because then you'd have the best of both worlds- you don't need a huge area for a garden if laid out right- personally I would split it up for a rental....get my money back then possibly live alone afterwards but meeting other people would be fun ❤
I'd use the back bedroom on the right side for the staircase, with a space under the stairs for a half-bath (or whole bath?) on the first floor, since the plumbing from the kitchen and upstairs bathroom are right there.
This is the first time the outside has been more attractive than the inside.
Check's in the mail! Flashlight, torches are flammable. 😊
What a wonderful home, I would used it as a one family home. Downstairs works great as kitchen and dining room with the back room as you recommended with the staircase and living room with a small water closet. Upstairs I would definitely use the front room as the main bedroom.

This is an amazing property! Lots of potential. Vittorito is just too small for me. I wish this property was in a more lively town.
Wow Im the first to comment.🎉 bellissimo posto.Greetings from USA 🇺🇸

You just build a retaining wall like next door,very easy
There are no climate changes.. you are all good.
Personally, I would want this to be one household and so would need private access to the 2nd floor.

For space saving you could tuck a spiral staircase in the corner of that small bedroom, and build a wall and make that bedroom a little shorter.
Great deal for someone

I thinks I’d redo a combo toilet/bidet and put a claw foot tub /shower at the end of the bathroom. My wife likes her baths.
Lovely property. I'd have the ground floor and rent out the first floor. I found the last 10 minutes a bit boring today though...🤣
Nine garden🎉🎉🎉🎉
So nice house❤❤
Wonderful but I would also turn it in one house
Amazing! Are there "hiking" or walking trails out that front area?
Yes. Just up the road you can walk into the valley and old monetary, river etc
Put shower across the end and eliminate that second ceramic thing. Install a combo stool/bide. I would not be able to move my arms in the current tiny shower.
That's exactly what I thought...having two toilet type things in the bathroom is a big turn off for me anyways LOL
Dave: I brought my torch!
Me: Really?
Dave: Are you impressed?
Me: Very much so! 😅
I would make it into one space with a staircase. I wouldnt want to use a communal staircase.
I absolutely must know more about the grottos. For those who visited on a tour, please report back!
I loved that house but one of the things that put me off was the street light, right out side the house which spoiled the view.
BTW, she does approve of the views, so I thought that might make you feel better 😂
Use a spiral staircase instead to save room and it can be sectioned off to keep a third bedroom. The only issue with the back garden would be proper drainage in the event of a massive rain storm. Lovely place. Do you actually read these?
Dry well with a sump pump in the garden area. I thought spiral stair also since you have great access to the top floor with the common use stairs for moving furniture and such. I thought small deck type sitting area upstairs with stairway down into the garden.
@@CrazySquirrelProductions yes
Could one put in a spiral staircase to the one bedroom and use the rest of the room as a library or office?
I love your channel……would it be possible to list the average weather temps and average rainfall ?
Google is your friend for stuff like this. This man has a business to run
Could you do stairs outside
I always hate the idea of having the kitchen dining room right in the front.
I'd make that front room a lounge guest reception or sitting room.
I'd then put a kitchen in the back room with dining and family room.
You might squeeze a wc into that closet under the stairway.
I'd want a spiral staircase or a dogleg one up from the back room.
I couldn't imagine trapsing up to bed on a communal stairway.
That back garden needs some serious work.
I'm interested in this property please
15:33, I'd have to see the place at night, with that street light pointing straight at the window.
Wowzers 😲👍🏻👌🏼
Why is it so hard to get Italian cities spelled correctly
curious what the english proficiency is among locals?
Hi All, I'm an australian with no Italian heritage. I realise I cant purchase property due to the countries reciprication policy with Australian residence. Is there any way of purchasing a property in Italy by becoming a resident of anither country. Thank you for you insight and advice.
👍
Amazing. Close to train station?
Very nice place, Dave!
Hi ! I think you could write a guide before starting the video , so you don’t get lost while showing the property . 25 minutes to see a property is way too much . Imagine me wanting ( I want) to buy a property and urbe to spend 25 minutes in each one .
@@ricardomagnago533 thankyou for your input. Most people enjoy the longer videos especially when we do the town visit first. You could visit our website www.ahomeinitaly.com and view listings just by photos but the YT video properties rarely make it in there.
I hope this helps.
Those "caves" look a little too geometric. They are probably ancient catacombs. In many parts of Italy you can't build or dig bc of historical sights. Some have been well preserved, but some are in ruins.
Just lovely! And for once a home is prepped for showing and sale.

omg never
I've watched a lot of your video's and aside from the occasional barking dog or cat, I see no life in these towns. They are almost devoid of any people. Where is everyone?
@@colinvallan believe me these places are fantastic places to live. Remember that these are traditional Italian towns and villages not tourist traps. Children go to school, adults go to work and the elderly hang around the house.
This small town has good public transport, 2 bars and gelateria, 1 restaurant, pharmacist, school, doctors, a number of hairdressers (!!!!) and the oldest winemakers in Abruzzo right in the center. Take this plus a number of neighbouring towns with train stations and you have pretty much all you need and a population that keeps them all in business.
The beauty of Abruzzo Is It Is real Life. Someone recently said 'Abruzzo Is not for tourists it's for travellers'. It's only when you have been here and experienced it when you can truly understand it.
Is this an earthquake area?
All of Italy is earthquake area!!!
Thats horrible!
every real estate here has a flaw...and no matter how you turn it, we are always at 100 thousand euros
So all you need is a bathroom, kitchen and stairs. The most expensive reno projects that people undertake short of building an extension are a bathroom, kitchen and busting thru a concrete ceiling to put in stairs. If the builder had any confidence in this place, those things would already be done. Sounds like a money pit just so that you could have a house where you had to walk up and down a flight of steps to use the toilet.
@@avisitorhere huh? builder? this is an old house. it was two separate apartments…
@@ConnieCarreiro Yeah, I get that. 2 apts doesn't make sense. One apt doesn't make sense. It should be a house again.
Take down the the wall and make it one big room with the stairs going down. And install another bathroom downstairs.
Is there a condo fee because you share the same entrance? What about the roof? Who pays for that?
YOU DIDNT SAY WETHER IT IS IN FEET OR METERS??
Meters he did mention- ❤
Your continual and incessant need to give your ideas is actually one of the things that puts me off of your tours. Let the buyer decide! You do not own these homes. G David what would you do with a mountains behind it? Lol almost ready to unsubscribe from your channel. Also stop saying stunning all the time
Please unsubscribe, no need to be so rude, nobody is forcing you to watch and listen, Dave keep doing what your doing, we love it ❤
you realize people actually purchase these homes remotely.. Dave needs to provide detailed info as well as ideas on how to complete a home.. People wouldn’t purchase these homes if he did what you are demanding he does.. your message makes no sense
Well your comment is rather nonsensical. I just don't want to hear him rambling on and on about what he would do with the property. Last I checked David is not a contractor nor architect or even a interior designer. Although his voice inflection would suggest it to be so the latter. I just wish he would keep to the facts and display the home as it is. His ideas I rarely agree with. That's all I'm saying. I believe we can all have our own ideas. And I feel free to express mine. You Nazi people that are only pro David and all this attitudes are no different than Trump cultist following blindly. Stop trying to censor the rest of the people that have differing opinions. Enough said@@ConnieCarreiro
@@kp5778what are you on?
you talk too much making the whole BORING
I enjoy the craic.
David talks just enough and you are the one who is talking too much garbage. Get lost if you don't appreciate how informative David is. Italy doesn't want negative people like you
really?? why so negative?? you are watching his video and then complain?? he is selling properties..
