How interesting, we either drive for the long stays or fly for the short, I have wondered about using the train to get there but what has put me off is working out and more, relying on the connections.
A long time ago we used to make the car journey into part of the holiday, then over Covid we travelled from UK - Italy - UK as quickly as possible now I think it's time to start enjoying the journey more slowly again.
Hi Hopeful Out of interest would you pay extra (1 or 2 euros for example) each time if you were to pay by direct debit?
We pay bills including ENEL and ETRA by UK credit card or Paypal on email receipt of the bill and this seems to work OK for us.
I chickened out of paying to Italian and German IBAN numbers before, I had a speeding fine for both these countries to pay, and I took all the details to my local bank so the bank cashier could make sure the right details were used.
And MelanieClark, are you talking about IMU or another tax? I was, and continue to be, really surprised that within a day of us asking the Comune for our IMU taxes to be calculated they send us, by email, the taxes to be paid and their calculations. Much easier than us trying to work it out and hoping we've got it right.

Thanks, that's good to know. We're flying in Dec and probably will fly again Feb/Mar but then we'll have a look at the train.
