Re: Damp Proof Course

Our 25 year old Villa has a DPC, no dampness at all and we have insulated cavity walls. We're not far from you, about 5/10 mins. If you fancy a pint (or litre) sometime let me know

Re: Not there yet, but lots of questions

I don't live in Puglia, I live a little further North, but my asthma has virtually been cured with the move from the UK over here. I never carry my inhaler around any more, in the UK it went...

Re: Wanting to set up a new business in Italy

Good luck with the venture. I know nothing about the red tape about selling food, but what I do know is that you will need a Partita IVA number (tax number). Anybody who provides a service in Italy...

Re: Next Step in Moving to Italy...?

We rented for about 8 months first, which gave us time to ensure the move was right for us and to give us time to find the right area, right house etc etc.
I would come over for a week or two, hire...

Re: abruzzi

I too am in Abruzzo, Loreto Aprutino. The language is a problem, but it does get easier as time goes on. As said, work and lots of other things get in the way of the studying!!

Re: Any Brits Living In Abruzzo

Probably the best place for car hire is the airport. I think there are quite a few ex-pat meetings/clubs. Penne has a bar in the main piazza called My Friends, very friendly and helpful owners, they...

Re: Building permission

Unfortunately too much advice is...

Re: Montefino near Pescara

Like in the UK, the closer you get to the sea, the more expensive property is.

Penne and Loreto Aprutino are both very nice (yes I am biased as I live in Loreto) but both only 20-30 minutes from...

Re: Montefino near Pescara

Montefino is a lovely little place, but there is not much there so it really depends on what you are looking for. In my opinion it is a little too far out from everything, decent shops, beach etc,...

Re: Any Brits Living In Abruzzo

Agency fees are a killer, especially if you're used to UK fees. However I offered our agent 2.5% and he was more than happy to accept this. Did think I should have gone even lower. Some will also...

Re: Buying a second hand car in Italy
