Hello there everyone.

We are shortly to be returning to Sicily for the winter months on the north coast and wondered wether anyone can give some advice on buying properties in sicily? I am of italian origin however have spent all my life in uk apart from 5 years in sicily renting in the summer time.
We are looking to set up a b&b come agritourismo, and although we are being looked after very well by friends of mine there, who are doing all they can, its always good to get as many opinions as possible?

Red tape and all that? Anyone out there a success story?

Always grateful for support and any knowledge Ican pass on also.

Grazie

Debs

I'll PM soon as I can locate it with the email of a friend on the coast north of the Madonie who's been active in property there over the last few years - she's also from a Sicilian family.

thats great thanks a lot x

yo tressy you on?

Indeed Yam

wots goin on and where are u ?

In the Aude and I'm in the bedroom and listening to the children downstairs - it's blowing a gale without rain and the leaves are leaving the trees as if they had somewhere to go.

Where is the Aude in France ? It is blowing a storm here too, I think the leaves are making a beeline for my house.
In am eating some cheese with crackers and sat by the fire...... the builders have just left and the mess behind....aaaaahhhhhh .
All I need to do now is get on and get rid of all the boxes that I am surrounded by............ god its never ending..........

South of Carcassonne, foothills of the Pyrenees. You in Italy or France?

CURRENTLY IN THE UK, WILL BE IN ITALY IN 3 WEEKS

That when you going to Castellana? I drove through it but not been in there. Used to go to the two Petralia's to see some wooden crucifixes by - what was he called - Lo Zoppo - or something like that.

not sure ot the name is ...............maybe Zoro!!! ha ha

Lo Zoppo di Gangi - the Cripple of Gangi I was given as a translation at the time, real name: Giuseppe Salerno. I think it was paintings not the Christ figure - that was someone else - can't recall who.

oh yeah i remember now, so are you lost then?

No, just avoiding working.
Got to go now.
Til next time.
I really love the Madonie though Beany, good luck with your project there.
Take care.
