Tips on Moving To Italy

By Julia Markham


So you've decided to take the plunge. You've always dreamt of a beautiful villa abroad and now you're living that dream and moving to Italy! Or maybe you are still in the deciding stages but aren't sure how to take the big leap. Here are some suggestions on moving or relocating to beautiful Italy.

Take your time and go on lots of holidays or short breaks there before actually moving. If you decide to move to a specific area try to rent somewhere for a couple of months. People who do this settle much better than those who do not do so.

Look at local grocery stores and schools if appropriate, drive on the main and local roads and take public transport. Will your children be happy there, is it viable for your pocket, are there activities that fit in with your hobbies and pass times?

Think about your life at home and what is important to you and make sure you can transfer some of these home comforts to a new country.

The cost of housing in Italy varies from place to place, so look around. If you really want to live in an expensive area you will need to find an estate agent who listens to you and only shows you properties within your budget.

As with all countries learning the language is important you will enjoy living in country far more if you speak the language. If you already know English or Spanish learning Italian will be relatively easy because many words are very similar in the three languages.
