Located less than a 100 m away from the Ponte Vecchio this centralli located trattoria is excellent value for money. You will find it on a narrow street called Via Stracciatella, to the left of Piazza di S.

It is that time of the year again! Plants see to thrive, but the terrible weeds do it as well.

I did not want to hijack Ronald's thread on Sardinia and the G8, but following a post on the same topic by Adriatica and my own commennt, I thought that it may be interesting for many to see what we are talking about.

it was a fantastic match. Spain has a mighty team ( La Roja) and could not be beaten, even if Italy was a worthy oponent. I felt very sorry when i saw the Italian guys crying after rhe match, particularly Pirlo. but then, I am a Spaniard...

Sorry, but I have to agree with Bunterboy and the others... savings, if any, are not worth the trouble. In any case, good luck!

I really fail to understand your problem, and we have had a house in Bagni for 5 years now. There are large collection bins in many places where you can leave the rubbish when you have to go.

Renovating old buildings is not for everyone. Many have hidden problems which are expensive to solve. Unless you know what you are doing do not buy a ruin. As for location... it is a matter of falling in love with it.

I only had to remove small pieces of plaster in our old stone mill. Plenty of elbow grease and patience. I wish you both.

Everyone will be affected by any major problems that the Euro may have. I fully agree with Ram's opinion.

That sounds correct, Belvedere. There has been  an increase. In any case, we feel that this adjustment was going to come sooner or later as property tax in Italy was lower than in other countries. For prima casa it is a bargain.

Answer to: Lordo

I am afraid that you are going to have to ask those questions to the people involved in the calculations. "Lordo" means gross or in building terms, the built area against the habitable or nett area.

We can't remember the hourly rate at Santa Maria Novella, as it varies according to the length of stay, but a full day will cost you between 20 and 25€
