I will be there in April viewing properties in the Abruzzo region for a vacation home. Not being a resident my biggest concern is making sure their is public transportation to get to other larger towns and airports. Cant wait to see all the beautiful areas.
I liked this video. I am currently 48 and am having an attorney get my citizenship. I plan on moving to Italy sometime between 55 and 60. I am studying Italian and hope to be fluent by the time I move there. Lots more to learn but pls keep up the vids. More on how to get a drivers license, healthcare, the tax system would be helpful. Love your work!!
I enjoyed this video because it brought up different ideas to think about like the tax rate, comparing daily costs of certain items. It is nice to know that Abruzzo remains a great value, and the properties you show are varied in price from $35k to $160k Euro in most cases. Keep up the wonderful presentations!! Ciao
Very informative video. I am thinking about potentially moving to Abruzzo from the US (not for a Holiday). The tax rate is very important. I like to live where the lower tax will apply but very close to a large city for the nightlife and restaurants, etc. A commune, perhaps very close to Teramo or some other lively city.
I really enjoyed your format on this video. I would love to have knowledge of some of the villages with less than20,000 people. Maybe you could do a bit of a walk around in some of these as potential places to look. Greetings from Australia.
I think every property video I’ve watched - and I’ve watched a lot!- contains information about the town including number of inhabitants. I didn’t fully understand the significance of this (for the lower tax rate) but it’s quite a good guide to the amount of amenities you’ll find.
This video just today came across my feed today and I am happy that it did.🙃 This content is exactly what I am looking for, it provides context. It’s great to see the properties for sale but I am seriously looking to relocate to another country and need to know what I’m getting into. I know what I’m getting out of its more important to know what I’m getting into. I it is beneficial to understand daily life. Also, when there is reference to old town or historical center, is there a newer part of town? are there other parts other than the old town. You did a recreational video and I was giddy from that one. I do not canoe but it gave me a glimpse of the open air spaces. I vote yes for more of these videos, please intersperse your property for sale videos with ones that share day by day life, auto shop, where to buy or rent a car, the bus station, the grocers, market days, how does medical system work, locally or nationally…etc.🤓
Thanks for the info. As you may be aware Canadians cannot purchase property in Italy as Canada has put a ban on foreigners purchasing property in Canada and Italy reciprocated. Italians are not the main problem for foreign ownership in Canada but Italy reciprocating has affected a much larger number of Canadians wanting to invest in Italy. Do you know if there is any business groups such as realtors or notaries pushing your government to review their policy
Hi! Yes, I'm aware of that, very sad! Also Australians have the same issue, unfortunately I don't know about such groups but I can't imagine this restriction to continue for long!
Another great video Rino and perfectly timed. I wanted to thank you for your help with questions about one of the properties in your videos. I am coming to Abruzzo next week to see some properties, so far one with majellacase, and I’m really looking forward to exploring some of the areas you’ve shown 👍oh and the food and especially the wine 😂
Hi Rino - thank you for making this video. People need to know how things are, the realities and costs, and not just be swept away by beautiful scenery and charming little towns. For me a big consideration is always transport - where can you live or stay without needing a car, what's the public transport like, where can you get to etc? If you do need a car will you need to find a garage to store it if you are considering a holiday property rather than a permanent move? Thanks as always for your time and effort and for raising our awareness of Abruzzo. S
There are a number of places in the sweet spot with fewer than 20,000 residents but still good transport links, all the property videos I’ve watched contain that information to give you a good starting point. One thing to know is that you can’t buy a car unless you are a resident so having a garage may not be relevant if you’re only there on holiday. Hiring a car is the easiest way to get around and see the places that trains and buses don’t run to, which is a lot. I wouldn’t want to miss those gems because I relied on public transport.
Hi Rino. Love the information that you provided. Are you able to provide a list of villages that you recommend to purchase homes for foreigners.. especially if we are planning to live with children.
8 this ago there seemed to be many move i ready homes for $20-25000 Euros. They seem to be easily $10000 more now and more challenging to find the lower price. We will be driving around Abruzzo looking next week. Thank you
Hi! I don't think so, data shows that prices have actually massively dropped so I'm definitely not sure about this bit of information you shared. Can you reference some articles? I'd be happy to investigate more
When you shoot your video with a white background the camera will underexpose the video. To correct this you need to manually compensate by 1 or 2 stops. That's why your video is too dark.
Hi, Rino! Yes, i think this format is great. It’s super helpful to cover many practical items that are likely to be invisible or hard to find out from elsewhere. A couple of topics that I’ve not seen well-covered are climate-related: All of Italy gets hot in the summers, of course, but where are areas that the humidity is also notably higher? Also, are there areas known to have better or worse amounts of allergens for people who suffer from seasonal allergies? Are there significant climate differences between the West and East sides of the middle and south sides of the country? One more question: is there a good website showing all active train service / stations? Thanks as always for your excellent content!!
Very interesting video. I have an apartment in Abruzzo. It is heaven on earth, and I wish i could spend more time in Italy. I am an EU citizen (Irish). I would love to have a car here, but cannot live here for enough time to officially qualify for residency ( which is a normal requirement for car ownership). Do you know of any way around this problem?
Talk to Brad of Brad’s World. He has worked out a legal way of setting up a company and it means your car is expensive to insure but family and friends are well covered by insurance.
Hello, i have a question about getting a drivers license. Ive read its much more complicated than in the US. Is it worth it to try and get one, once a person has moved over or no? Thanks Tim
Love your videos Rino and love the extra information. My wife and I are looking to move to Abruzzo but we are restricted right now as we are Canadians. We may rent while we wait which gives us time to look for the perfect home.
Thanks for the video Rino! I would be interested in which cities in Abruzzo have the best public transportation options, besides the largest cities like Pescara if you get time. Grazie! 🙏
Hi! All the cities above 20k people of course would have the best transport, it really depends what kind of frequency you're looking for and then we can decide!
I am going to retire in a few years and would like to move to Abruzzo mainly for the 7% flat tax. Looking to renovate a beautiful house with high ceilings with potential. What would be my first step? cash buyer.
Thank you for your dedication and support. I would like to learn about the proper way to change my us drivers license to Italian. I do not speak Italian. Also ,how difficult is it to buy a good used car? How much is the insurance? Are there services I can hire to assist me , for example acollege student for a day that could help me navigate my car license and registration? Thankyou.😊
Hi love your content:)) I have a question concerning obtaining a visa , I was born in Molise but I lived all my life in Canada I hold an Italian ( european passport) also. I am seriously considering to retire in the Abruzzo region , am I required to have a Visa should I transfer to italy? thank you
Ciao per favore se potete aiutare anche me, vorrei andare qualche giorno in Abruzzo e vorrei raggiungere il Parco Nazionale della Maiella e anche Fara San Martino, qualcuno mi sa dire se posso arrivarci in treno o in autobus, perché Non riesco a noleggiare l'auto, ho cercato informazioni ma non ho trovato nulla di concreto, grazie!
exactly what I have been thinking of whenever you are watching these kind of clips !! and here is more: Do you have Mafia there ??? What about "mafia refugees" from Albania ? What about Human Trafficking gangs ? What about drug gangs from balkan countries ? What about chinese sweatshops ? What about the sick practice of refugees as a business ??
@helendennis7662 In general, I agree, but today we see only the ones that have survived, not the many that have fallen in the past and killed many people. You can find the seismic activity maps online. There are much safer areas, but they are more expensive, such as Puglia, Piedmont, Lombardy, and the coastlines in general. Part of Southern SIcily is good too, but then you're pretty far from everything. My feeling is that if you have a choice, go somewhere safer. There are bargains to be found all over Italy.
@helendennis7662 We can say "everything is the same," or we can actually do the research and differentiate and make choices that work better for us. Every area has its pros and cons.
@@paulaoh5306 Statistically you are not applying it and I know it !!!! If you can cheat, then cheat Nung pyan, jio pyan “能骗就骗“ In the chinese society everyone tries to swindle everyone else. The level of China's counterfeiting Chinese dishonesty,fraudulent behavior is beyond comprehension. If there is some way you can be cheated, they will find a way to do it. If you do not cheat, you will be cheated
