ForumI have tried to reply to the Enel question but it not happening. I then tried to contact the Forum. Yoou write your message and are then asked to do a sum. Did it correctly several times but it kept saying I was wrong.
I have tried on several occasions to delete this PM and to block the author by clicking on the instruction to do so. It has not disappeared from my message box. Does anybody know how ro get rid for good, ta?
Colledara is a nice town in Teramo. It is near the sea and mountains and the pretty city of Teramo. I notice it has a lot of land and houses for sale at present. There are many facilities around and in neighbouring villages. I am sure that the neighbours will be as helpful as mine. But I do not have first hand experience of the town itsel.f I have a small place in Cermingano in Teramo.
Hi llene. I mean that the houses will have Italian plug points and Italian electrical goods that fit them. They have a variety of different fittings. So if you take one kind then it might mean that you will need to buy another kind when you arrive. Really, I used to bring stuff like that before I realised this. Also I used to buy 'airport' size bottles of shampoo etc, before checking out the supermarkets and Lidls stores which sell everything cheaply.Also I am British and our electrical goods are somehow a stronger voltage which is not suitable in some items. I had to learn to get into a slower pace, tranquillo, tranquillo. Travel as light as you can. Enjoy
Hi llene Blessing, I would recommend that you only bring things that you cannot possibly live without, clothes for hot and cold weather and nothing else except phone, laptop etc.This will mean that when you move, you can pack everything into hire car, bus or train. Good idea to live in three regions and explore them.You will find that most expat holiday lets are well-equipped. I presume locals are the same but with more options. There are many types of cooking methods for inside and out and locals will be glad to help. It is likely in Italy that you will downsize your electrical goods running all at the same time. Just something you have to get used to unless the landlord has upped his usage tarrif. Everybody adjusts.If there is something missing that you really need, then you can get it at reasonable prices with personal service in the villages and towns.All major Cities and airports have the usual IKEA, OBI, IPER etc which sell absolutely everything cheaply including proper Italian electric strips. Don't bring anything with US voltage or convertors. You don't need them Also villages and towns have weekly markets.You will really regret it if you bring stuff you can get here. Wherever you land, forum members will be able to help you. I would suggest splashing out on an electric blanket when you get here. Happy house hunting
Hi Viviene welcome to the forum. There are a number of us who are not residents and find it impossible to pay ENEL from abroad, in my case UK. We would really appreciate your help if you could tell us how to do it. Thank you
Hi Viviene, welcome to the forum.I don't know if Karen has solved the problem as she has not posted for some time. I am going to have the same problem as the people who normally pay my bills etc won't be doing it after next month. There are others, as you can see, who have found it impossible as they are not resident. We would really appreciate knowing how you have managed this.

There are a number in the area you are looking for and recommendations on the aforementioned forum under the 'English Speaking Lawyers' post
Hi Karen, did you find a solution? There is a lot of advice on here. Vibienne, are you able to share your solution with us, thank you?
Thank you Georgette
