Live In Italy

Dream of Tuscany With Eyes Wide Open - After investigating a number of communities, I had concluded that the medieval city of Lucca, Italy, historic home of the composer Puccini, near Pisa, fit my vision of the kind of community that I wanted:- compact, with a real pedestrian center, coffee bars and lively street life, opportunities for quality music, yoga, and other cultural activities, plenty of sunshine and fairly mild weather, within an hour or two of the sea and mountains with beautiful natural areas, within an hour of an international airport and last but not least, easy to get around via bicycle, bus or train.

Ten Days Under the Tuscan Sun and in the Shade of Umbria - It was simple enough to get there from Paris -- EasyJet was easy and cheap...a little more than a one hour flight to Pisa from Orly Airport at 6 a.m. without much ado or hassle for about 100€ round trip. The little Pisa airport was a simple, too. A two-minute shuttle took my daughter and I to our rental car at the Hertz lot -- a bright blue Fiat Panda that seemed to have "we're in Italy" written all over it. The luggage fit perfectly in the trunk and off we went.

A toehold in sun-kissed, seductive Italy for less than $100,000 - Romantic cities. Timeless hill towns. Snowy mountains, idyllic islands, and a rivetingly beautiful coastline—most people realize Italy is a vacationer’s paradise, but owning or renting a home here can cost far less than you probably imagine.

Living In Italy - Beyond the Illusion ~ Italy has never ceased to captivate people from other countries, especially speakers of English. They begin to see their former homes as sunless and dull, their former lives as restricted and puritanical. They see themselves changing in expected ways, becoming perhaps more alive, even hedonistic or, in other instances, more scholarly or more deeply religious. For a few the changes are intimidating, but often the newcomer begins to see Italy as a new kind of home and looks for ways to stay longer or permanently By Ruth Halcomb

Affording to Live in Italy with an Italian Mortgage - It’s all very well mortgage companies in the UK or US telling us that we can re-mortgage out principal residence, release equity and use this money to buy a home overseas if we want to – but what about those people who actually want to live abroad, how can they raise the finance to buy abroad and afford to live abroad?
