Thank you. We found the same in Ireland, you need to be on the ground. My husband is learning Italian (he is good with languages, I am not) Will pass these sites on to him and will try them a bit myself. So looking forward to living in Italy. We were there in 2003, 2007 and twice this year for the Food Expo and other areas around Milano.
Thank you, But I did try that and places come up, mostly well over $1,000 US, but still always say: (monthly, no contract) We will just have to go, rent a car, and do some looking around. My husband is learning Italian, he is good with languages (I suck). He speaks English, German and Spanish. We lived in Cuenca, Ecuador for 3 years and had to leave. No culture, terrible cheese and other food, bad wine. We moved to Ireland last year, but a bit too cold. So looking forward to Italy on a permanent basis.
Someone also suggested we go there and talk to a realtor that much on the internet is for short stays, vacation rentals, etc. Also the government rules for permanent residency state you need a years lease. Guess we will see when we get there. Have been there four times, but never before with the intention of living there on a permanent basis.
I can certainly understand the banks not wanting to deal with Americans because of the US intervention. We have lived in South American, now Ireland, and next year moving to Italy. We use our US credit union and draw out the maximum and pay cash for our rent, utilities, groceries, etc. Use our visa for travel and then pay through our US account. Don't trust banks very much and prefer to do it this way.
