Le Marche is beautiful, it's one of those regions that really surprises. I've been there a few times and was amazed at just how much calmer it is..
I will paste it for you :) We have been exploring southern Marche, Basilicata and possibly Abruzzo as places to retire to within the next few years. We have been to the province of Teramo several times but were not overly impressed with the area. We thought that Atri and Campli seemed like nice towns but that the area in general did not compare with the beauty of southern Marche, including the layouts of the towns and the industry and pylons that we saw. We would like to live near or in a town that has some life, ie a restaurant, bar, year round, rather than a place that is basically for vacation home owners, whether Italian or stranieri. We would prefer not living in a location where there is a large ex-pat community. We both speak Italian and really want to become a part of the community. Decent healthcare is also a factor. We had lived near Pisa many years ago while my husband attend university and had quite a few Italian friends. We are looking for an area where the winters are not too harsh, as we currently live in northern New England and get tons of snow and freezing weather. We do love the mountains and would like to be in view of them. A friend had suggested that we check out Sulmona and Penne and I was hoping that some of you might have feedback on these areas and hopefully some others as well. I was also wondering about the area around Manopello. Thanks very much.
I used Easystanza when I was looking for a roomate and I thought it was great - wish you the best of luck!
we're you able to resolve this? You can email me at georgette (at) italymagazine.com if you need further assistance
'Being out in the sticks is fine for a holiday home but not suitable for permanent living !' I think thats really good advice!
Its a intimidating process to be sure but with the right help, you will find that perfect gem. My personal advice is to get a trusted agent who can show you some good properties in the area you are looking at. Make sure to personally visit several times and get an inspector in there to see if there is any mold damage. You will probably need a translator or someone who you trust that can help you navigate the process, we are planning to have a 'Ask an expert' here in the community forums coming this fall, including a housing agent/lawyer who can asnwer questions like yours for a week's time. ps. welcome to the community!
Awesome guys! you are quick! Glad you got what you needed Elise!
interesting question but does this even exist in Italy?
Thanks Temple!!! I always hit up my Italian friends for foodie recommendations
no problemo, I know how you feel, when I first moved to Florence a few of my friends didn't look up the area before booking an apartment and ended up with a 30 minute bus ride to school every morning because they were in a far out suburb. If I was you, i would look in the areas of trastavere, prati, testaccio (more fun), aventino (more quiet). Nothing will beat living in the center when you have such a short time to explore. I wish you all the best of luck finding a place!
