Hi a friend of mine (Italian with British citizenship) is selling her sea view, big terraced 1 bedroom apartment very near Rome (Anzio). She bought it as a summer house for her mother who’s 83.

No worries at all, happy to help. This stuff they don’t usually say if they want to make a sale. I’ve been living here for over 25 years so I know the country quite well. I’ll definitely drop you an email so I can send you some pics of the attic and the listing once it’s ready :)

Indeed, I’ve had my share of trouble too here. It looks like it’ll be a while. Ok then as soon as I have the listing I’ll post it here so you can have a look. It’ll likely happen next week 

just a heads up: i see you’re buying in Molise. Just be careful because most of those areas around mountains are seismic. Houses made of stones are the first ones to go down or get severely damaged after a 5. Something earthquake. Back in 2002 there was an earthquake, a 5. Something and the roof of a school cane down killing around 30 children and a teacher. Just make sure you get a house with very good foundations. They don’t tell this stuff to people unfortunately since they only want to sell the idea of idyllic

Are you in a huge rush? Cuz this is a new thing and the agency took the pics yesterday so the listing will be ready Wednesday or Thursday. If you can wait until then I’ll send it over as soon as my friend has it. Let me know. If you’re around Rome you can go see the place as well. In any case everything would be done through the agency since my friend has already signed the contract with them

Hello,

it’s in Anzio which is a seaside location very close to Rome (around 40km south of Rome). She’s also selling it with a local estate agent because of the complicated process in Italy (and she’s Italian!). It’s a 1 bedroom with a huge terrace with an amazing sea view. Apartment is in great conditions and comes completely furnished as well. In summer you can make up to 100 eur/night on booking.com or airb&b if you want to rent it because the area is a loved local (Romans) tourist location and full of history (you can google Anzio there’s stuff in English too). I can put you in contact with her. Since she’s Italian she won’t have issues helping with the agency or whoever you want to hire

Hi just out of curiosity how did you find this property? My friend is selling a flat and would like to advertise it on the US market
