Re: Approaching retirement

In 1993, I was in Phoenix, Arizona, and it hit 48 °C, almost the same temperature. My sneakers were sticking to the road when I dashed to the service station for some water and food. I'll never...

Re: Approaching retirement

I am visiting Sicily in August for a few weeks with a car, staying in Palermo, Cefalu, Enna, Agrigento, and Ortiga. All Airbnbs, obviously completely different atmosphere in the summer!

Re: Approaching retirement

Thanks for this update. Yeah, I just googled, and from 7th April 2026, it's now 30K.
Great news: as many popular towns are surpassing 20K, this would bring Noto, Sicily, back to a retirement...

Re: Approaching retirement

I found this out after investigating about 2 weeks ago. Noto has 25,000, I believe, above the threshold for 7% tax, which is 20K. Places like Cefalu, capo d'orlando, Castellammare del Golfo are under...

Re: Approaching retirement

Wow, Castellammare del Golfo, just googled, what a stunning looking town. Palermo is my favourite city in Italy, along with Napoli, and nearby Mondello has a nice beach. Palermo was full of life,...

to start with, tax resident in the UK, then eventually Italy if we like it. I need an international tax advisor, I think, before retirement.

Re: Approaching retirement

Good points there, thanks. We are looking at a 7% flat tax incentive for towns with >20 K. This is where Noto commune comes to mind, with a population of less than >20K, and is officially a 7% place...

Re: Approaching retirement

I think a list like that is a sensible and important plan. Sitting on the beach and eating great food is one thing, but you need to be on the move, keep your brain ticking, and enjoy the things you...

Re: Approaching retirement

It's about trying both locations, which is my plan, renting in each location. Thanks for the info/comparisons.

Re: Approaching retirement

Salento has better beaches than Sicily; places like the small islands of Porto Cesareo are almost like the Caribbean, though, as you say, Salento is flat as a pancake! Sicily, with hills, makes...

Re: Approaching retirement

Some good advice from others to rent firstly which makes complete sense, I like the idea of renting in Nov/Dec/Jan "at its worst". Can imagine these types of towns outside the summer season being...

Approaching retirement

I spent the first 20 years of my life in New Zealand, followed by four years in Australia, and I’ve been living in the UK since 1993. After 33 years in Greater London, I feel like it’s finally...
