I purchased a home in a village in Abruzzo. I love my house, I have spent a good amount of money updating it. I bought it in May 2017.

I am moving to Tocco da Casauria on June 12. I have a cat and a dog. I don;t think there is a small animal veterinarian in the village. Can anyone recommend a veterinarian in the area. Pescara is not too far.

Is it possible to purchase a hot air clothes dryer in Italy? I have only found the evaporative dryers. They take such a long time and waste a lot of water. I appreciate any advice. Thank you

I purchased a home in Tocco da Casauria, and plan to move as soon as the renovations are completed. ( 2018 March)  I am not that far from Pescara, and I am interested in finding a gym or Pilates studio that uses the reformer machines.

I just purchased a townhouse in Tocco Da Casauria. I am familiarizing myself with the area, but I do not seem to find a clothes dryer. IKEA has a washing machine, but no dryer.

I am planning on buying a home in Pacentro, Abruzzo this spring. I recently read that Americans have difficulty opening bank accounts there. But I need one to pay my taxes, my electric, gas, cable, internet.

I have been living in Tocco da Casauria for 4 years now. I absolutely love it. It is near the main highway A25 and E 80. This means you can get to other places quickly. The people are welcoming and kind. There are no restaurants in town any more. There are 2 pubs that offer food, but it is hamburgers, veggies, french fries, salads, There is a pizza place, but it has an odd schedule. The main restaurant closed in 2018. But a few kilometers away is Torre de Passeri, They have a few restaurants that are charming and the food is lovely. My house is a hill house. This means there is no place to drive a car to my home. Deliveries are difficult. Pellets for my heating are difficult to get to my house. Customer service doesn't exist in Italy. FYI. I don't necessarily think of that as a bad thing, but just telling you for information. I have never been treated like an outsider here. I hope you found a home you love. Katie Dover

I will try to give you my email kdclothes@yahoo.com  I hope it will post to you. I am taking precautions in Italy, We all are now. But I walk my dogs, go walking and have a coffee with friends. I  live in a small village. The rumors and panic are flying around. I am more worried about returning to the US and the idiots reactions there. I plan to be back in the US on the 16th. I am only staying a week or so. Every day so many people die from the flu, starvation, cancer and other things and this virus just started and I don't know what to think. Is it man made? We have gone through enough in the last almost 4 years, have we not? The world is getting smaller and leaders everywhere find cruelty to be a better tool than leadership. I love my life in Italy.

It has been almost 2 years since we were in contact. I was wondering if you ever made it to Italy (Abruzzo). I have learned a great deal about Italy since we wrote to each other. I hope you found a place you love to be.

Maybe the President of America should be an example and pay his debts and taxes.

Thanks for your review, but I live in a small village with no hopes of getting deliveries. I also have no car. That pellet stove was not set up and I hate it. It uses 2 -15 kg bags each day. It's an expensive way to heat. I am a small woman. I cannot drag those bags all the way up the town center steps all 30 of them and walk down a cobble stone street, then up stairs . I am looking for an alternative way of heating. I am glad you enjoy your stove. I do not.

Many Thanks.

Thank you. My house consists of about 80sm. Will Leroy Merlin carry such a thing? I have an on demand gas boiler now for my cooking stove and oven and  hot water for my showers and sinks including kitchen HW.
