I have name for a joiner nearby if you want it just send me private message!
I see what you mean. But if you will get a proper agency it might bemore expensive... We leave written instructions in the house, and we have a few english speking Italian neighbours. Good luck!
Hi! we are renting out our flat in the alps for the first time and we used owners direct and I hope it will prove a good choice. Believe it or not Ebay is a good site in Italy to look for properties too!Paola
Ian, we rent our house in Lu, and I just asked a local lady to take care of all of the above...its working out fine for the time being. Maybe you could just ask around in Canelli....Paola
HI, we are in Lu Monferrato, Piemonte and we have a 60cm satellite dish. We called the engineers who directed our dish towards astra 2 I can't remember the degrees, something like 28. 2 and we can see all the UK channels perfectly!
well spotted!
well what I meant is that you can buy sea salt at a better price than in the Uk, in particular sale grosso which is expensive here and l use it for pasta.Better now? are we a bit touchy?
thay are a bit sneaky initalian supermarkets. as they know thay you will buy salt because you need it, they tend to store it in hidden places... just ask the shop assistant! The good news is that salt is cheaper and better than in theUK!
I manage to find most spices in chinese supermarkets... check if you have one in your area!
