In Abruzzo, Pescara... airport, trains and buses to almost everywhere. However Abruzzo might not be included in your choice of places... Good luck and enjoy.
Where would you like to be, by the sea, large or small town. Also how long is long term? Try a Google "abruzzo casa affitto" or this LINK (which is www.italiancase.it whom we bought via).
Don't know if they have them in the USA, but in the UK they are pre-paid credit cards which you can get in Euro. The UK cards are simple to load, good rate and easy to get hold of... Take a look at this LINK for more information on them. Be careful which bank you get an account with here in Italy as many have really high charges. They do seem to have improved with the advent of on-line banking which is relatively new here.
A slightly bigger problem by being in 3 different areas as you would need to transport around everything you bring or buy here. That leads on to transport and how you intend to get around? A lot depends on how much luxury you need… If you intend to have 4 months in the order you state i.e. south last, then that’s a good idea, but even then I think you may find the weather can be cold in the South at times. Kitchen appliances here I would guess are expensive compared to the USA as will be bedding. I would suggest you look at some of the shop websites here to get an idea of the costs and type of things you get (e.g. bedding is quite often all flowers and not to everyone’s liking). This "yellow pages" site is a good place to look up the shops and their websites, obviously you need to know the Italian to do so… This is a well-known supermarket site, they sell almost everything.
Ah the people where the neighbour currently looks after them.... We know people that have 32 trees on about 1HA of land and they struggle to look after them despite being over here almost on a monthly basis. They also have a neighbour cut or scrape the land 2-3 times per year (depends on the rain). As to yield I really can't remember how much they get, but it is enough for them and they use quite a lot. On that same subject, our consumption of olive oil went up near on tenfold when we moved to Italy. We live here most of the time and know our neighbours quite well and watch them look after about 50 trees, we have none and watching them, we would not contemplate getting any. We do grow everything else imaginable, but olives are out... Just do a Google of "olive oil yield per tree" , this LINK from the result gives a good idea what is involved. The detail it probably misses out is how do I get my picked olives from the house to the frantoio (press) , oh and you have to be there at a certain time to pick them and then get them to the frantoio....
I guess with 80 trees it is a lot of land, that being the case do you really want to take care of it yourself? Most certainly there is a good chance this will be a bad start with what I assume are neighbours? There are others here (like Ugo) who have far more experience in these matters than I, but I would have thought this is something the current owner should be asked to sort now and get the document either now or as a condition of the compromesso?

Come on Eric, give us a clue... What kind of place do you like? If you live in Castellina I'm sure you can tell us some of your favourites...
Dont think the heating guys are on here any longer, try here
