When you’re new to living in Italy there are some new habits to learn, either to do yourself or just get used to others doing. As a long-term expat I’ve learnt to love Italy’s unique ways.
When asked about living in Italy, I tend to answer based on my own experience. As a Brit abroad, questions about weather, taxes, food costs, healthcare, heating, safety and whether Italians speak English, often pop up. To help you on your journey to becoming an Italian homeowner, I’ve written down some FAQs and answered them as best as I can.
There are many beautiful seaside towns in Southern Italy, where you can enjoy sun, sea and sparkling clear waters. The Italian coastline has everything from cliffs to long stretches of beach backed by dunes. There are also incredible sea caves and coves to discover.
The Italian Carnival brings the party to winter with huge colourful floats and costumes. So, grab a mask and some confetti and join in the fun in one of Italy’s favourite Carnival towns.
Amazingly, you can still find affordable properties in Italy, even in Tuscany, Sicily and Puglia. Whether looking for a holiday home, a cheap doer upper or a nice spot to retire to, there are plenty of properties for sale for less than €200,000. You can even find countryside villas and stone houses needing some modernisation for under €100,000.
