This is our local beach forcast actual weather for June, which is more or less normal. You can switch the month for September, which was quite varied and the late 40c was very much not normal. Of course it depends on what temperatures you like, but June would have longer days. Can't help you with the locations I'm afraid as we have not been to either. I'm sure others here will know the places and comment.
Search the web "italy villas" and the area, bigger companies are holiday lettings, owners direct, but there are many more. If you can wade through the reviews, Tripadvisor is worth checking some of them out. It's either "sea" or "beach" location you are looking for, although "ocean" may get you an American target company.Personally I think September is a lovely time in Italy, but you will find the days that little bit shorter and perhaps not quite as warm. When we first came to Italy our local beach resort closed down at the end of August, but now there are a few places open until the end of September. So I would suggest some research into the place you decide is best. September is normally the grape harvest with a number of “festas”, check out Greve. Enjoy!
Be aware that if any UK licence was obtained by exchange for another countries licence e.g. Canada to UK, then there may be a problem. Friends of ours went through the process with ACI and spent an age trying to exchange a UK (prev Canada) for an Italian licence. Finally they were told it could not be done as there was no agreement with Italy and Canada. Obviously this may not be the situation here, but best people know about it.
Not aware of any Poste a/c these days that is available to none residents. From what I've read on-line a/c are available and likely to cost little if anything. Try a web search for "conto estero non residenti" and I'm sure there will be lots of bank results. Ing Direct was mentioned by a few people a while back as being good, but not used them ourselves. This site has general information and seems to confirm what I said about the Poste. If allowed here this other site might be of interest.
Hi KevKnow of a few people who have been through the process, at least one of them simply sent a utility bill (not translated) and got away with it, it is after all self-evident. Another had to go through hell ! If you wish to go down the translation route then I would suggest you find a local translator whom is qualified to take to a tribunal with the “bollo” (your standard €14.72 or whatever it is now) and have it authenticated. We had this done for a number of documents and it cost us about €20 per page. The girl that did ours did it as an additional job to supplement the family income. I would guess there are many around, but they do have to be qualified. We found ours via our solicitor, try friends or neighbours or google something like “Traduttore inglese documento”, I’m sure others here will give the right wording...
Glad to hear you got sorted Singer. Getting the pre-paid postpay from what I understand is straightforward, but I'm not sure (never tried one) if they are not a bit like electron cards which are not accepted in a lot of places. I've tried before with a UK pre-paid currency Euro card (VISA) and that did not work, but that could have just been their poor payment site. I'm sure I read they will not accept a UK normal credit cards. Then again I doubt very much a UK company would accept an Italian credit card. I've not had to use them, but like I said you could pay by Transferwise or CurrencyFair . Transferwise is cheaper for anything under €200 and the latter for anything over. They both are well known, safe and easy to use, however the devil may be in the detail of getting your payment to the right place in the company you are paying. At least with ENEL (unlike Telecom) you also get to se the payment slip with your online bill. Looks like the bill tells you what you would need to put as a reference. You will also need their IBAN, which I assume is that shown on the direct debit mandate they have with the bill.

Have a look at this Entate link to see if it helps.

This NHS Link tells you to register it with INPS, but I'm sure it's your local ASL. You should then get a Italian medical card.

It would have to be a lot more than a good solution AT €120 per month!!! Bring an unlocked phone and buy a data sim here at a 10th of the cost...
