ForumI have tried to reply to the Enel question but it not happening. I then tried to contact the Forum. Yoou write your message and are then asked to do a sum. Did it correctly several times but it kept saying I was wrong.
I have tried on several occasions to delete this PM and to block the author by clicking on the instruction to do so. It has not disappeared from my message box. Does anybody know how ro get rid for good, ta?
Glad to hear you are sorted. I had a nighmare 2 years re utilities etc. Then I was put in touch with a lovely couple via a forum. They have organised the utilities and lots of other jobs via locals. I was just going mad going round in circles as I don't speak the lanuage. I was really really down. Going over tomorrow with happiness instead of the usual sadness. So I appreciate the forum so much. For the first time I will be able to stay at my place due to these lovely people. Cannot thank them enough. So happy italian times ahead for you -and us
My sister hasone for Englih/Spanish. She used when we were out for a meal with Spanish friends. She has a Scottish accent and spoke clearly and precisely and it worked ok. owever when her partner spoke inhis strongish scouse accent it wouln'd work to the amusement of their Spanish friends. It worked for the Spanish friends as well. Don't know what it is called though
If you want to see Abruzzo, it has lots of lovely towns. You could try speaking to Vignaverde who is an expert on Southern Abruzzo. or Active Abruzzo who are also good for info. I have a small house in Cermignano in Teramo which I love. However, wherever you decide, make sure that you have a choice of easy to access airports. We have found the limitations of travel from Britain is very costly and the travelling time is onerous from Scottish Highlands. If I had known how this would impact, I would probably have gone for somewhere warm and easier to access. I have to make loads of plans and constantly cross-check that things will chime in. My sister has a lovely village house in Andalucia in Southern Spain whitwashed village with lots of amenities and very helpful commune, free Spanish lessons, great villagers etc views to mountains. She just books her flights and goes, 20 minutes to airport then off at Malaga and an hour drive through the countryside and mountains to her house. She has choice of several airlines whereas I only have unearthly hours Ry........ Often I have to wait hours between flights if I take 2 planes. It is worth consideration. I also know somebody who lives in Basilicata which is beautiful but travel can be challenging. I don't know about Le Marche just that Ancona airport is there, not sure about flight frequencies or choices. I keep hearing rumours that the Abruzzo airport is losing money and will close but fingers crossed it won't. So checking the airport plans would be sensible too.
It would be hilarious if it wasn't so awful. Glad you have a solution at last Karen. I pay somebody to check my place. They do it for a nuber of people. They pay any bills that come in. I reimburse or pay in advance when there. Not thr best. If I was more PC savvy and had better Italian I would try the ebiling. Haven't got round to it yet.

Hi Viviene. Thank you for your post. I am not a resident and would love to know how to obtain bils online.
Where about are you looking and are there amenities nearby. You might be better to rent first to get a feel for how best to move forward
I have a wee hoiday house in Teramo province. Where are you guys?
I believe there is someone who provides this service. Try allinabruzzo
I doubt it. this is the reason many homes fall through. you need to take expert advice to see if you can force a sale
I have a wee place in Abruzzo. Try allinabruzzo
