Re: Approaching retirement

Some better beaches - Porto cesareo is lovely akin to San Lorenzo. Down to Gallipoli - just like the Vendicari. Sicily has more free beach, and we have the Aeolians and the Egadi. In my part we...

Re: Scicily

Plain horror? A little excessive, unless you want to live in a corner of disneyland and not have to deal with the real world. Smells - frankly Venice is worse, and what smells is organic waste...

Re: Scicily

The east and west are very different - the east side has excellent beaches, more Greek, more culture and infrastructure and more hills than the west, which has a more Arabic feel. I love Marsala...

Re: Non-UK Resident Director (Italy) - Seeking advice on Manual PAYE Registratio
