Is it still a buyers market to buy a property in Italy in Abruzzo or Tuscany area with the changes in taxation for foreigners ? I know this is a very broad question but we like to purchase a two to three bedroom house or aprt near coastal area .

Hello Katie, it is very nice of you to response quickly. I will take your invite and when I have the chance will go visit your lovely commune.  Sounds like a well situated area with all the necessary amenities in life so to speak; we don’t need much more . It is important for us foreigners to get the feel of people of the community. How did you find your place? When you come back to USA we can meet up if that is possible. I live partly in Westwood Village near the campus and partly in the Inland Empire so you can imagine the gridlock we have here on the freeways.  We can have coffee and pastries at Porto’s in Burbank or meet in Westwood Village.  I googled the town and did not find much info or places to rent or stay. What is the closest airport to use or train station from Rome or Firenze do you use? Thank you again.

Great adventure in ItalyWe love Italy and lived in Lucca but it is just very expensive to buy or rent . I will look into your town Tocco de Caesura. We are retired living Southern California with comfortable retirement income. It is just getting worse here  traffic commutes are horrible. We travel to Italy to decompress and live quiet simple Italian life which we learn while there and thinking of doing it 3-4 months a year to just chill and live healthy. We looking to buy a small place at least two bedroom that we can just lock and go whenever or just rent;   we would love to hear from you or others how their life been since moving there. Any thoughts, advise is very much appreciated. Thank you
