Castellammare del Golfo is a beautiful seaside village just west of Balestrate. It has some pretty nice beaches and restaurants but you have probably already been there.
@theSicilianLife that was around 9:30 am. Then around 3pm it looks a ghost town! The piazza is a fabulous place…. Shade and benches. Thanks for watching!!!!
@salvoreemma im not sure they ever get ash over on this side of the island. I know very rarely the Palermo airport might shut down. We are safe over here!
@@ellmiller2013 shipping may be expensive. I think you will have to pay tax on stuff you bring. We thought it would be easier to sell and just buy here. You will have to check prices to see if it's worth it to you.
I’m planning on purchasing a home in Sicily. I’m currently looking for a home in Mussomeli. Where is your home located? How much was your home? What is the cost of your remodel? Was the buying process difficult?
@@christopherdavis575 we are in Balestrate. On the northwest coast. Ours was around 50k. It's a small one bed. Remodel will be around 40k. But it's a major remodel. Removing walls adding walls. New elec, plumbing etc. I don't think that's to bad for a beach town.
A nice and spacious place to live while you renovate! Were going to check out the town when we come in September. Got my dual last year and are considering Sicily as our option! Thanks for the toilet tip 😂
@@reneeoconnell4606 thanks for watching. We came here last September looking for a town to move to. We fell in love with it. I hope it meets your criteria.
@@godscountryhomestead1177 we rented for a month. So price may be different. On vrbo in November it's 56 a night. July , August I'm guessing may be around 100 a night.
I just checked prices in Gulfport and Destin Fl… similar condo $300+ a night. Food is fresher and cheaper here. You can buy a beer at the beach for 2-3 euro. They don’t rip you off.
Good afternoon guys, how do we rent your Airbnb,? Planning 2 go c if I find a property there In Sicily or in Puglia. If u guys have a Real Estate company that u guys use. Information it’s welcome 🙏
Hi I wish you all the best. One word of advice when you go for your kitchen, make sure you barter. Tell them everything included right. Installing,delivery don't show them you'll pay for extra. From one Sicilian to another.😂
Hi, …not bad at all. No doubt your renovations are underway. Hope your completion is just the way you expected. We’re sure it will be very nice. Will you use some of the renovation time to travel Italy (Greece?). Will you expect to take lessons in Italian at some point? Need good Italian to pass the drivers license tests. Right 🤔 😂sorry for so many questions. We’re working on things to eventually get to Italy too, though still at the incipient stage of the journey 😔. But remain determined. Happy 4th🧨
@@salvatoreemma yes we will be doing some travel. We are studying and looking for a local to teach us. Hopefully I will be more fluent when I have to take the driving test.
@@theSicilyAdventure@salvatoreemma thanks for watching! Hope that our journey can help you all. We are not experts at videos. We are learning as we go! Happy 4th to you all!
The tourists are coming. Our beaches are already getting packed and traffic is becoming more challenging than usual. September is one of my favorite months in Sicily with many festivals to attend.
Did you check the local courts. My grandparents naturalized in the county where they lived. It took me almost a year to locate these documents through a genealogist.
Joe ! 😂 I had just got off the phone with my friend Dave when my wife was bugging me to tell you about the You, Me & Sicily channel we saw. Sorry I mixed you up with my other buddy 😇.
Hi Dave & Diane, By chance, have you come across the folks of the You, Me & Sicily channel? They’re from Boston and seem nice. They look pretty active in just about all things Sicily. Maybe a good resource while you continue to establish there… Hope you make good friends. Be safe. Liz says hi.
@@darrenmccarthy3346 yes we have 4 children and 10 grandchildren. It is not easy but with facetime it makes it easier. We hope to expand their view of the world. And give them more opportunities.
