I know it might sound crazy, but you might want to check the local church... they might have some kind of summer club, estate ragazzi, where the local kids would go... that is how it works in our village, anyway! Paola
well the doctor sayd that by taking this pland our body produces viatmin B which also discourages mosquitos. I have not tried it so I cannot comment. I used a variety of repellents... also olive oil with some citronella essentail oil in it... generally wearing long sleeves and trousers at night is my best bet! Paola
if you still need a notary or a geometra in alessandra just send me a private message, I can give you the details of who I used. We are in Mu monferrato, whereabouts are you? Paola

hi! our neighbours were in the predicament and bought a wood burning insert from La Nordica, with fans and all the rest. They didn't have much joy and eventually had to buy a free standing burning stove. On the other hand we bought a pellet burning stove ( I cannot recall the brand just now but something like: http://www.lanordica-extraflame.com/it/56/2/2/16/prodotti/prodotti-a-leg...) . It had 3 exits at the back that could be piped into diffrent rooms, so the stove is heating the kitchen and living space and two upstairs bedrooms. It works great. If you have any doubts on which stove to by you can easily do a calculation on which capacity do you need to heat up the volume of space you have...if you need any further info I can look through my files and rememebr how I did it at the time!

My friend Giorgia Rossetto is a lawyer; her english is very good and she has dealt with international (between Italy, Uk and USA) cases before. She is based in Torino which is not too far. Please send me a private message if you would like her details. Regards Paola
uh I forgot to say that I didn't ask for a deposit because I thought it would have been too much hassle to return it...
Tracy and Darren, we rent a small flat in the alps http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/italy/IT3476.htm. I have to say that I have not had a huge amout of rentals last winter, about 5 or 6, and I just got our clients to pay via paypal. It worked fine, very straightforward and no hassle. I also used paypal to pay the estate agent in Italy, who organizes the delivery of the keys and the cleaning services. But I would be curious to know how other people do it... Paola
I have been told by an omeopathic doctor that LEDUM PALUSTRE in granules ( you can buy it in farmacia) is very effective. It changes your skin's odour so that the mosquitoes don't like it anymore. I have not tried it yet, but I will next summer!
ups, it had been guessed already! sorry!
