Re: Free Houses Sicily

Portugal is quite a poor country outside the "glitz" of its major towns. Even in Lisbon, a few years ago you could find beggars everywhere, and a lot of them were old Portuguese people, something...

Re: Free Houses Sicily

You are so right. I have just read a comment by some deluded guy who thinks that it will be a good a idea to buy a dirt cheap house if Greece will totally collapse. From the crazy housing market of...

You are welcome Jacha!
My flat is about 20 min by car from Quattro Castella but we are on the plain, along the Via Emilia. We can see the hills from the balcony and it is in a conveniently located...

Re: Moving back to Cyprus

But if Dyfi brings their car here, they will only qualify to import it duty-free if they are then going to take it out again. If the move is permanent, they will be unable to sell it and when they...

Re: Cost of living in italy

Jacha, I think you will struggle to find large towns on the E-R Appennines. It is a bit of a depressed area job-wise and although very scenic, a lot of people tend to move towards the main towns and...

Re: What influenced you on where you live

Interesting! I replied to another post of yours suggesting you to consider Emilia- Romagna for a stay and I read now that you stayed in Parma for a while :)

Hi Jacha, I am Italian and after many years abroad, between last year and this year I moved back to Italy with the family for a few months. I found prices much lower than expected, even bills....

Re: Moving back to Cyprus

Everything is more expensive here, and most likely more expensive than in 2000 when you left. Consider that we are a family of 4 and we spend about 100 euros per week in food. Then there are all the...

Re: Loved up Brit in distress!

I have experience of the Italian system and of the NHS and I think they are on a par in terms of quality (I am comparing Northern Italy with Southern England).
The NHS used to be pretty awful when...

Re: Loved up Brit in distress!

The issue is controversial. Illegal immigrants and their children qualify for some sort of free healthcare on humanitarian grounds. You probably wouldn't. As an EU citizen, you would first have...

And by the way, it is so romantic to read of an international love story... it reminds me of when I was younger. Best of luck!

Re: Loved up Brit in distress!

I think Conniewalker is right. I was in the same situation when I used to work in the UK.

Re: Italy vs Spain

It really depends on what you would feel comfortable with in terms of culture, I think.
I am Italian (from the North) but I have many Spanish friends. Spaniards overall seem a more open and noisier...
