Ciao tutti. We have a home in Umbria, and I would like to know if you need solar energy to operate your pool? We do not have a heated pool and are not interested in installing solar panels due to the cost. Currently we have 4 solar panels and 6

We have recently purchased a small apartment in the historic section of Firenze. We are nearing completion of the project however, the price of the construction has 'doubled' from the original preventivo. Is this right or normal? Thanks Lisa

We have a contract with EOLO for 418 euro a year for internet. Of course I was hoping to get a better rate. As it is explained to me you can no longer 'turn on' and 'turn off' your service at will. This used to be possible but they now offer yearly contracts. Also I was told our rate was 'higher' as we do not have a land line.We do have a satelite for TV (even though there is not much to watch). We are planning to bring our Amazon Fire stick over when we visit later this month. Lets see if that does anything.Yes, life in Italy is confusing; but the good things outweigh the bad...A presto, Lisa www.casalecrete.com
Oh my. That is scary. Do you know if this is the case if the money is deposited in my U.S. account. and in US dollars? We are not residents of Italy. Just wondering with the possibility of taxes and commission to agency or other expenses if it is worth it...... Grazie.
Thanks for the link. Will check it out. Best, Lisa
Our house is just past Santa Cristina, across the bridge that spans A1. Lots of privacy and we are planning to rent out one side of the house when we are not there. Family ties keep us in the U.S., but think our country is in for lots of changes. Allora. Our current plan is to spend a few months a year in Italy. Ficulle is great as few people speak English and we are forced to migliorare our Italian.Where are you from? What brought you to Italy? This is our website www.casalecrete.comLet's keep in touch. Saluti Lisa
Ciao tutti. My husband and I recently purchased and remodeled a home in the hills of Ficulle. We will be returning late March and stay through April. It would be a pleasure to meet new people and practice our faltering Italian as well. Saluti, Lisa
Can you let me know where you found this info. It will be very helpful. Grazie Mille
Grazie. I have been quoted 33 percent tax. Can you tell me where I can view that tax should be more like 10 percent. This would be very helpful. Best. Lisa
Grazie. Thanks per il consiglio. We will stop by one of the local agencies. Unfortunately, the agent we are purchasing the house from does not handle property management. The current property manager seems to be moving on......allora...
Thanks for your advice. I will check out Brico as well. Grazie.
Thanks for the link to Leroy Merlin and your advice. I will check it out once I arrive in Umbria
