This is considerably cheaper than purchasing the expensive cylinders (which, of course, run out at dinner time etc.Therefore can guarantee the hot water/ cooking gas at all times.we use this system although for heating we have "moved on" to using wood for our heating.As this place is very large even at E.0,61 X LITRE it's too expensive to heat with.but it makes sense for cooking/heating water.

Bombolas are very expensive and, as Sebastiano says, they always run out at the most inconvenient time. Don't even think.... make the switch. I would not try to advise you regarding heating. We have it connected to mains gas and we find it reasonable for Italian standards. Before being connected to mains it was expensive and a nightmare.
Many thanks for your input.

61 cents per litre!

61 cents per litre! Sebastiano, how do you do it? Even 10 years ago we could never negotiate a price for lpg from a tank as low as that! Price aside, I would certainly go for tank lpg rather than bottled gas - the bottles are hugely inconvenient, inevitably running out at completely the wrong time and getting hold of replacement ones can be a pain unless you have a supplier on the doorstep.

"the bottles are hugely inconvenient, inevitably running out at completely the wrong time and getting hold of replacement ones can be a pain unless you have a supplier on the doorstep." Before we switched to mains gas, we used the bottled. The supplier was a couple of miles away, open normal shop hours My son went to the house with friends for a weeks holiday - he told me that the bottled gas ran out late Saturday night. I asked him what he was going to do, as the supplier wasn't open until Monday morning. He said "no probs!, he'd popped next door, to another [empty] holiday home and swapped it with their gas canister!" He did replace it on the Monday
