We are soon to be moving to our villa in Puglia and have just paid our first ENEL bill at the local Post Office when we collected the keys last week. However, I have just received a further letter from ENEL on our return to the UK requesting the same payment as it obviously hasn't been received yet ! As we are still 'newbies', has anyone had anything similar as I'm sure with the usual italian way of doing things our payment is still in the system somewhere.

We have a holiday home and our gas supply is fed into the house from a bombolone which we share with the neighbours - there are two separate meters on the bombolone. Our neighbours have been ordering the gas when required and we pay for the amount we have used.
However, our neighbours are getting quite old and have said that we should contact the gas suppliers to get our own bombolone installed and be independant.

Are there any particular regulations for making available your house for holiday rentals? Like many, I guess, we'd like to start offering the house from next year (2013) and I wanted to prepare for that. I have heard that there is a difference between 'occasionale' renters and more permanent renters. We would hope/plan to rent for say 10 weeks per year.
