9146 A quick Hello from Newbie

Hi everyone,

I found this excellent site recently and it has helped shed light on a number of things, I found myself muttering away to myself......ah I see, that's why.....etc.

We bought some land in 2004 in Portixeddu, Sardinia, and we are building a villa on it for a holiday home now, and hopefully for a retirement home later on (6 years or so). In the meantime we are trying to learn the language, we seem to be developing our own actually, Italian with a bit of Sardo and Lanashiro mixed in.

Anyway the house is nearly finished, just got to overcome the problem with ENEL and the private driveway issue as I posted last night, and then we'll be home and dry (fingers crossed).

Thanks everyone already for the useful tips on all manner of things.

Thanks folks for the welcome.

I think we are getting somewhere with the house now, hopefully it should be finished next month when we come over.

PAS 55 - I see we islanders are in the minority on the forum, I haven't been quite as far over as Villasimius, although I believe it is beautiful down there. We had a week in Capitana in October, when we went along the coast as far as Solanas, it is lovely down there.

Barrov - You are spot on with the forum. If I had looked earlier in the building process, I could have avoided all sorts of mistakes and delays.

Thanks again for the welcome

Regards
MM

Hello,

We've been in Italy for five years this time round. Sheila and I were here in the eighties, then when back to the UK. I never adjusted back. Here with our son now since 2003 - finishes school (AISG) in June.

Jiust signed up this thing. We are all three bi-lingual and fairly integrated. We live in Genoav but hope to move to the Taro or Ceno valley soon.

I noticed some people have "equestrian" by their names. We'd be interested in knowing more about this, especially ant family with children. We have a pony we are looking to loan out for free. Our son has outgrown him and has his onw horse and is now looking at buying a polo pony.

Ciao a tutti
