In a world where busy city life often leaves little room for genuine connection and peace, more and more people are looking for something different — something authentic.
Recently, CNN Travel highlighted the story of Keith Richardson, a Californian who chose to swap the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles for the timeless charm of Nardò, a hidden gem in southern Italy’s Salento region. His story resonates with a growing trend: the dream of moving to Italy and embracing a slower, richer way of life.
At Mari e Trulli International, we see this movement firsthand every day.
Nestled in the heart of Puglia, Nardò offers everything many are searching for: beautiful Baroque architecture, friendly communities, stunning beaches along the Ionian coast, and, most importantly, a lifestyle that celebrates simplicity, nature, and connection. Keith was able to purchase a historic home for just $111,000, a fraction of what a similar property would cost in California, and he now enjoys a life surrounded by beauty, history, and delicious Italian cuisine.
But moving to Italy is about much more than just affordable real estate. It’s about rediscovering a way of life that honors family, community, and the little pleasures — an espresso at a sunny piazza, a walk through ancient olive groves, a swim in crystalline waters just minutes from your doorstep.
At Mari e Trulli, we specialize in helping international buyers realize this dream. Whether you are looking for a historic villa to renovate, a turnkey trullo, or a boutique investment project aligned with the region’s tourism boom, we are your partners on the ground. Our deep knowledge of Puglia’s property market, local culture, and financing opportunities (like the popular Mini PIA program) allows us to offer you a full, personalized service — from finding the right property to guiding you through every legal, financial, and practical step.
Are you dreaming of your own Italian adventure?
Whether it’s the sun-drenched streets of Nardò, the whitewashed villages of Ostuni, or the peaceful countryside around Lecce, Puglia is waiting to welcome you.
Let us help you find your piece of paradise.
