Well currently as James has said you would not be taxed here if here less than 183 days in a tax year (just to make life difficult Jan - Dec here). You could also not be resident here, but would have to stay less than 90 days at a time. As for electric Joy, price might be higher according to figures, but our comsumption here is less than the UK.
Seems a sensible thing to do James, although I think little will change either way. It also gives you more time to have a look at Italy a little closer. A 182 days is a long time to look around and your idea of extended house-sits fits in well. Out of season here many, many houses sit empty and cost people to get someone to look after. Not too sure how you go about finding these places, but it seems you know how to. The weather here in Abruzzo can be freezing at times in winter, feels colder due to the icy winds coming off the mountains. But we have also had many, many a day where the temperatures get to 20c and above in winter. Last winter and this were both very nice, in some ways for us better than summer. This winter has been so, so nice, likely too nice for people leaving their potted plants over the winter expecting the rain and snow to help them survive. Many will come back to find these plants dead from a lack of water. Best of luck in your new venture wherever it may be.
Interesting site robbie, thanks. Mind for some reason your link is not found when I clickd it. However on a search I came up with this link for them, which worked but looks exactly the same? To be honest I've actually put the link again to see if it works this time...
I'm not suggesting you use them, but you can get a quote online from directline.it or there are others including compare sites. Modi is correct in saying the cost can be very high compared to the UK. When we came here originally and were looking into residency we went to the commune to ask exactly what they wanted i.e. documents, evidence of being able to support ourselves etc. They never mentioned health cover. However that was 6 years ago and I think they should have, but others I’ve heard of since in this and other commune have had various experiences. What I’m suggesting is you need to find out exactly what the commune want as in some cases other commune have also specified what level of health cover they expect.

Well I assume you don't need someone specifically in Umbria, so you could try Charlotte, this is a link for her, I'm sure there will be a contact.
You are supposed to get residency if here more than 90 days.

Thanks for the heads up.
Ha! I put them side by side in notepad and still did not spot the difference, used to be so good at that when younger as well
