I wish this could be clarified for me, I would love to mention our apartment but that seems a no no, perhaps Valentina could explain what is acceptable?. I have read the notes re what is suitable, and am none the wiser.

We have a house and apartment in rural Marche, and would love the opportunity to see more of Italy, but we have 3 cats who are much loved and need looking after whilst we are away. Any members with property in Italy care to do a house swap?

We have had our two chickens Gilda and Ruby for 5 wks now, and were becoming dispondant as no eggs in sight, but this morning we have had our first one!, I know I am over-excited about this but just had to share!

 I would just like to recount an excellent story of health care in South Marche for those who are fortunate to come under the region of Fermo (hopefully this will soon apply to our friends in the area of Amandola?) Suffering from blurred vision fo

We are compiling our Christmas book list for Amazon, has anyone got any favourites to recommend, especially ones with an Italian theme?. Have read most of Donna Leon and Michael Dibden, so something else would be appreciated.A

But important to try to give the correct information and use the correct words...nits aside!.

Small point, but 5yrs residency qualifies you for permanent residency...with its attendant health cover which gives you the same rights as Italians. I think Citizenship is something else again, no doubt Penny has good information on this.

In my experience as a permanant resident here in Italy. Public sector pensions taxed in the uk, private pensions as Fillide says taxed in Italy, and any monies earned in Italy also taxed here. Would advise the use of a good commersialista who understands the English and the Italian tax systems, and who already has clients with these particular requirments, can recommend a very good one in Marche if anyone is interested.

Love your positive post sagraiasolar.....and the site loaded this morning in double quick time!. They may not be buying in Tuscany, but they certainly still are in Marche.

We always send detailed instructions to our apartment, however some seem to leave this at home and rely on dumb dumb.....hence lost, lost. Last guests found by neighbour and hand delivered to the door, must have wondered what this toothless 80yrs old was taking them to....welcome to Marche!....sweet. neighbourhood watch at its best.

And slower...

I sympathise Penny, frustrating and annoying. When we were selling our house in Sussex, we would spend precious Saturdays cleaning, making sure the garden looked good and then the so++ didnt turn up. Nothing more weird than the potential buyer. You will get there in the end!.

I am spraying the chicken coop and a corner of the pen with the garden hose, so that Rose gets a nice cool mud-bath I may well join her!

I have found that blood stains (the next gory challenge to apartment owners!) will come out by soaking in salt and cold water, and then an enzyme wash, and then the full sun drying. Tedious, but effective, as for other linens as Raggio suggests, buy bright colours for towels and bathmats.

And you will probably get it at Fermo, we luckily have never had a problem with them.
