My father grew up in Pacentro in the mid 20's before repatriating to the US in 1934 to live with his father. For health reasons my Grandmother moved back to Pacentro with my father and his 6 siblings. They were very poor. My Grandfather stayed in the US to work and send money back to Italy. My father shared stories of gathering snails off the mountainside, for dinner, after a rain - a delicacy today. At some point in the year they would all run down the mountainside. Some festival maybe, I can't remember. Unfortunately, he lost the rights to his home there, back in the early 80's. He didn't share the details but I remember our paisans telling him to let the issue go. My son will be visiting the town in 3 weeks. Thank you for the tour.

Oh, thank you so much for that look see inside that lovely church. It is just beautiful! And what a lovely, picturesque town!

To put in your words, Stunning! Absolutely, beautiful home! You have such a calming, almost trance-inducing voice that makes me want to buy just about every home you show!

Indeed. The problem only is that there is usually a reason for cheaper homes in nice regions. Like in other parts of Europe, small town and villages are emptying out, young people are moving to the cities, old folks are left behind, infrastructure is fading away (schools, doctors, stores, restaurants...). Hurts to see that. Unfortunately secondary homes are not the solution. Here at least you have some tourism. Perhaps homeoffce / remote work opportunities might change it, but there is still not much infrastructure in many places. You have to catch it before it goes downhill too much.

I love all the workers and people and cars, etc cuz it shows the town is alive.

I love the iron work wall leading into the kitchen. If this was mine, it would stay! ❤

I love that you show the sights before the house tours!

@@AhomeinItaly I really like it when there's not too many people there - when were you there ?

Stunning. Just stunning and HUGE. I would be changing where the kitchen is. Not sure where but into one of the larger areas. But alas, I can only dream about the fun someone else is gonna habe there. Great find and outstanding value for the money.

I can't believe the size of those rooms! And I would really leave the black grill - it is in a medieval style and adds a lot of character.. The village is just charming.

A beautiful place, and you did a great job of showing some of what makes Pacentro magical.

I can't get over the fact that the properties you show in the most beautiful villages I just love them! It makes me sooooo want to be there. Thank you for sharing the church! It's so beautiful ❤️

I love the kitchen fireplace!

Absolutely gorgeous Dave .. thank you again for showing us a gem !! It’s huge, for sure .. and what a sweet little town ❤

Spectacular. Town, scenery, location, apartment, all. I'd have enough room to B&B and turn the 3rd bedroom into a self-contained to indulge my quota of solitude too. Wow.

What a beautiful property and a fantastic price. Definitely needs a master bathroom, but views are stunning. Cheers🍷

Stunning, indeed! The apartment appears to be well maintained and that's a lot of square footage for the price. Beautiful location, too. Enjoyed the tour.....thanks!

In Malta we call this property an elevated maisonette because it has it's own private entrace not shared like in the case of an apartment. Great video.

That little room with a arch wooden door would be a perfect decorated room for my 5 cats, but of course , the door would be always open for them to explore the house.

Very nice !!!!!

All of them are so great. This property is no different

Dream! I don't see many tourists though. Was it filmed during the heatwave?

Love it!

Absolutely fantastic property! It is curious why all the rooms are so utterly expansive yet the kitchen, which is arguably the heart of the home, is minuscule by comparison. I struggle with the typical sliver-sized bedrooms and bathrooms in many properties but the size of these bedrooms is gratuitous. Would love to have spared some of the space for a larger kitchen. I’d hate to sacrifice that lovely entry but what are some other options?

@Eunegin23

Жыл бұрын

It's also the angle of filming (the lens). But kitchens in older (sometimes also newer) European houses aren't necessarily large. This has correlation on what's coming out of the kitchen though. I saw many huge open concept kitchens with the most expensive appliances in the US - yet not used a lot...

Thank you Dave

I would buy this house if I wanted to move to Italy. Wonderful

Nice place and little City, quiet as most of the young people and everybody with decent job are gone like all towns in the middel of nowhere in Italy. Also when realtor little bit to change here and there omg you pay he/she is gone. Collected the 6 % commission and goes on to sell / praise the next house up.

As you say, stunning!!!!! Few changes only. The only negative? The restaurant below....

I would make the kitchen (with the fp) into the master, with the current bthrm as the en suite and the flat ceiling room into the kitchen because the views are better. Yes, the existing utility room should split into a new utility, in the back (accessed from the kitchen) and a family bathroom, in the front. I suspect the flat ceiling room also has beams (probably unpainted) under the plaster. Love the size of this one.

Hi David. Great place. Just wondering about the floor above and the insulation from noise. I see that above the utility room there some to be just planks...

Very nice property Dave, would love to own something like this in the future. Please ignore my ignorance, but could you please give your best estimate, preferably on the higher side, of how much it would cost to bring this apartment up to a higher standard? Maybe taking into account your suggestions during the tour. Thanks and regards AJ.

Beautiful, how long has it been on the market? Is it still available?

Nice tour and good presentation. Is this home still available on the market?

Where do you go to look for the recent listing everything I see is months old which I'm sure must be gone by now.

COME ON GUY, YOU HURTING ME. TREMENDO.

Beautiful but a bit pricey for me ❤

Question. What was behind the door to the left when you first entered from the street, before heading upstairs?

It would not be the same without the furniture as they complement each other so much.

Lovely! But I don’t think I could do steps

What time are your live streams? We are Eastern time in the us.

Right Dave, nice video but I'm not sold on the price. The kitchen is going to need a remodeling. The balcony might be just large enough to sit outside with a glass of wine and a cigar (single person that is). The biggest concern is the height of the ceilings in the bedrooms. I have a 4 post bed that wouldn't make it. Still, the lower rooms might be the office and the others for the beds? Nice but I think I would pass on this one.

I'm italian. This way of living is my everyday life. It's fascinating to me how people from other counties can't really see the whole story: low ceilings, small windows, very dark rooms, claustrophobic. Small kitchen, tiny tiny bathroom, tight and steep staircase, During summer maybe this place is fine, what about winter? You have no idea... The pictoresque view is not enough. Sorry but no, no thanks.

For most of us the views and atmosphere are enough. Italy offers a feeling like no other place but I guess if you were born here and get used to it you will be attracted to things outside of Italy. You should be happy and proud that people from the outside love your country and way of life.
