Hi everyone,We are British couple

Try looking online at sites like this to get an idea of what is available. We would use Google street view to check the surrounding area and roads.

Thanks for that @LargeLewis We've actually already done that. I have bookmarked probably a dozen property sites, and have an agent in Jesi looking for property for us. We have had no luck thus far, and we read that some people rent privately, rather than going through an agent. We have a reccie planned in the New Year, to have a look round for ourselves, but I thought "Well, hey! If you don't ask, you don't get" Hence my post. Thanks again for answering though. ☺

I half thought you might have looked :) It is worth a try here (and other places) as we rented in Abruzzo before buying and did the very same thing and ended up renting a beautiful house for over 5 months. if nothing else this bumps your post! Good luck...

Thanks @LargeLewis ☺

I have a few friends here in Canada that are from Ancona/Macerata area. I'll pass on your request. Also a friend operates an English school , further south in Lanciano Abruzzo. Js

Thanks @scpino! Is your friend's school looking for teachers by any chance? Although I already have a possibility for a job, I'm making plans b, c and d in case things don't go according to plan!
Thanks again, and Happy New Year!

His name is Frank D'Allesandro he's fluent in both Italian and Englishthe school is in Lanciano, Abruzzo.I'll look for his most current telephone number. It's the only English school in the area. CheersJoe
