​@@leslievey8453 can't replace living in Italy and in an Italian village. Will never be the same in the US.

Could you tel me the cost of this property, with your details.

Why should bidets be mandatory?! I have the impression that since showers, no one uses the bidet.

You'd be hard pressed to find decent property in Tuscany for 100K. Come to Abruzzo, the new Tuscany and Puglia! The hill towns here (especially in L'Aquila and Teramo provinces) are spectacular, much more scenic and rugged than in Tuscany. We share the same Apennine Mountain range but the western (Tuscany/Lazio) and eastern (Abruzzo/Le Marche) slopes are very different in geography. Abruzzo is the outdoor/hiking center of Italy (feels a lot like the PNW/Seattle.) In Teramo you are also in prime wine and olive country which surrounds all the hill towns. People are wonderful and the cuisine of Abruzzo is noted for the abundance, refinement, and variety....everything from seafood to lamb/pork because of the mountains/ocean proximity. The best rosati now in Italy are coming from Abruzzo (Cerasuolo.) Fantastic sagre (food festivals) every July-Sept in all the towns. The Abruzzesi are fanatical and very picky about the quality of the distinctive cuisine. We have a house in Teramo, 5 min from the Adriatic beaches, in the hills with the Gran Sasso and Apennine Mountains both in view from our terrazza. The Euro goes a long way here, property taxes are low. By car, we're only about 40 min north of Pescara, 2 1/2 hours from Fiumicino/Roma and 3 hours to Bologna. Lots of renovation possibilities in the hill towns and quality newer construction in the valleys, both stand-alone homes and villette a schiera (townhomes) as well as condos. Prices going up now because many Brits and Americans are discovering the area and we're the farthest north for the 7% Italian tax break for ex-pats. We've always been the holiday home area for Bologna/Milano residents, and since the pandemic a lot of Romans have discovered Abruzzo, as well. It's a good central location and you can fly out of Ancona and Pescara if you don't want to go to Roma. And as in the rest of Italy, to live here you really should have a decent A2-B1 level of Italian comprehension and speaking ability.

The roads up to Civitella Messer Raimondo from either direction are pretty intense, especially at night. We live up in Teramo, 40 min north of Pescara and last summer drove down to visit a friend in Civitella MR, taking the inland road from Pescara south. It's a beautiful hill town with lots of ex-pats living in the historic old town, very walkable, not too large.

Ayuuuup....But'cha Kent GET there from heaYa...lessen ya go down ta old McDonalds faaaaaam, take a left at the traffic light, seeing its the only one in town...keep goin' through moose alley, till ya hit the old carriage road, course now that might be closed, seeing its winter and all...might wanna stop at the general store, pick you up some pork rinds and Moxie, maybe some meth...ask for Dave, tell him Art said hello...Watch out for that thar Statie..He sits cross the packie in the parkin lot...ayyyup. Then again...

You’ll have to settle for Bognor Regis then…..

@@berty1422 This style stone properties have stood on this seismic ground for centuries, in some cases a millennia. These are not the first ones to collapse.

Obviously consequence of your vote, isn't it? Black to the same as you were before we joined. Can't understand why anyone would be surprised by this

You can search the towns on google maps

I've lived in Italy 15 years and never new that!!!! Thankyou

@@AhomeinItaly Presentazione di Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo al Tempio, detta "Candelora" Data 2 febbraio Also known as the Presentation in the Temple. At any rate traditionally in Catholic cultures that was the explanation for that date. Even if that Feast day is not kept/ celebrated much any more ,( it is where I live in France, you eat crêpes that day) it probably still explains why that date was chosen as marking the end of the Christmas season. Hard for most Brits to understand since they have Christmas before Christmas when really its still only Advent , and then don,t even keep the twelve days of Christmas after Christmas Day in their rush to take down their decorations prematurely.

You'll find a lot of these old hill town homes are configured in interesting ways, one of the issues of buying the cheaper centro storico homes, especially the 1E southern residences. Part of the problem is that they were altered so many times over the generations, and many more recent modifications are combinations of 2 old neighboring smaller apartments. I work in Lucca, Tuscany also, and have stayed in many of the in the city walls renovated apartments, same issues.....very strange layouts and jury-rigged kitchens and bathroom areas. Remember many of these buildings date back to the 1300-1500's. So frequently you get long hallways that take you to another part of the house, which in reality was the neighboring apartment, or a hallway created because a room wall was put in. Also, keep in mind that in the old days, especially up in the mountain/hill towns in Abruzzo, you didn't have AC or heat other than the fireplace, so rooms weren't situated with the best views in mind. Windows are small to keep heat in, cold out. These in-town houses tend to be darker and smaller, but there are ways to work around that and lighten things up. Italians also traditionally did the combination kitchen/dining room area as one room, with the dining table the center of family life, rather than having a separate dining area. I'm finding newer renovations of old properties are more along accepted layouts nowadays, with spacious layouts for modern living and frequently separate dining areas (especially in new built condos in Abruzzo.) This apartment featured here is typical of many that were done as "holiday homes" or Airbnb's as the host described, so whoever buys it will definitely want to redo some of the floorplan if they intend on staying there as a primary residence. Abruzzo is still a vacation destination for not only the Bolognesi/Milanesi/Romani but also traditionally for the Germans/Dutch/French, since it is a straight shot down from Germany/Austria thru Venice then down the coast. More recently, many Americans/Brits/Aussie/Kiwis are now moving here.
