Welcome Guys! If I make it down to Sicily this year I’d love to come and visit your home and talk about the real cost of euro homes. So many people think they are really just a few euros and good to go. Good luck on TH-cam and see you around! Brad
Hi guys just found you!! I know the area very well and your just about 30 mins from my little town!! Looking forward to seeing all the work you've done!! Buon fine settimana.
@MoveToItalyNow the donkeys were an idea of our current mayor! It's a lovely little town and I've been here a few decades now!! My only problem is with beaurocracy!! I still can't get used to it!! 😊
Hi guys!!! Love this!! Sooo- how did you get water back to the house?? Cant wait to see the rest! I am cracking up that the king of negotiation got 60% reduction on price. Hahhaaaa. Soo awesome. They didnt see you coming.
@@ElissaBenguerel Ha ha. The principles of negotiation are somewhat universal. Regarding the water, we will cover that comprehensively in a couple weeks. Stay tuned, and thanks for your comment! Cheers
@ We don’t like to share online our town, we are pretty quiet that way, but not far down the 113. If you are near Motta, probably less than an hour. We would be happy to be in touch!
Welcome to Sicily ,I Canadian born and raised , have been living here for almost 39 years , Im not to far, barcelona P.g , We own a tile/bathroom store. Do you live here all year round? I love Cefalu ,its so pretty. It would be great to meetup sometime tfs
Buildings were closed off because they dudn't have heating system and windows were heat dispersion and the opposite in summer thick walls and smaller windows could keep rooms cooler being in the shade
@@MrNoncredo Good question! Here in S. Italy it’s not how closely you follow the letter of the law, but who you know. We had an Architect who had in the local Comune. Not once did we have an Inspector on the property. The Architect assured them that everything was done properly and they bought it. Also, yes, masonry walls cost more to erect than the typical frame walls seen in America.
@@MrNoncredoNo no. Abbiamo acquistato permessi per tutto, ma l’architetto conosceva tutti al Comune e ha gestito tutto al cantiere se stesso. A proposito, il nostro Comune e dí solo 650 persone in totale. 😂
@@miriamharty5761 We don’t know all of the current laws, but when we bought 4 years ago we were non-EU buyers and the tax rate was favorable. Now we hear about a new initiative in Spain that is through the roof. Italy has not followed that….yet. 🤷🏽♂️
@@alemassa6632 😂 Don’t worry. Americans would love the adventure but only a very few will actually do it. Anyway, don’t you think a little repopulation of abandoned homes, with likelihood of renovations is a positive move in the right direction for Italy?
Just found your channel. We are planning to retire and travel soon. I will watch for more episodes

@@anne4083 please. What is your home town?
@MoveToItalyNow I'm Scottish but live up in the madonie nature park a town called Castelbuono. Have you visited the town?
@ we love Castelbuono! I fondly remember arriving in town and seeing the raccolta della spazzatura on muleback! A truly cultural experience! 🥰

Great!I want to be your neighbor in one small home with garden!🤩Best wishes in New Year!
Hello! Fellow homeowner not far from you. We love the area as well and are from Ca/Wa. The area is spectacular.
@@tiannemarie
The area is spectacular! Where are you exactly?

@ sounds great. 👍🏽

@@josiegitto8928 that sounds great. Barcelona has to be the greenest place in Sicilia! Very beautiful. We are near Castel di Tusa.
Beautiful

@@Barbara_M. very true. It’s a conservative mindset and we are growing with it. 😊
How is the location in regards to volcanos?
@@suzyq555 Good question. We are 1.5 hours from Mt. Etna. Interestingly, on a very clear night we can see the fire coming out of Stromboli. 😃
@ yikes!
Were you able to find a good church to attend yet?
@@AllThingsSicily
😂 Couldn’t find any churches here.
Hi, did it cost a lot to demolish and rebuild the walls as you like? Were projects and bureaucratic permits from the municipality needed?
@@MrNoncredo Good question! Here in S. Italy it’s not how closely you follow the letter of the law, but who you know. We had an Architect who had in the local Comune. Not once did we have an Inspector on the property. The Architect assured them that everything was done properly and they bought it. Also, yes, masonry walls cost more to erect than the typical frame walls seen in America.
@@MoveToItalyNow e quindi avete fatto tutti i lavori, abusivi, senza permessi?
@@MrNoncredo Non credo.
@@MrNoncredoNo no. Abbiamo acquistato permessi per tutto, ma l’architetto conosceva tutti al Comune e ha gestito tutto al cantiere se stesso. A proposito, il nostro Comune e dí solo 650 persone in totale. 😂
Are Italy following Spain for 100% Tax on non-Eu buyers of second holmes.
@@miriamharty5761
We don’t know all of the current laws, but when we bought 4 years ago we were non-EU buyers and the tax rate was favorable. Now we hear about a new initiative in Spain that is through the roof. Italy has not followed that….yet. 🤷🏽♂️
Please don't move to Italy!! You're 330 millions... where do we put you?🤣🤣🤣
@@alemassa6632 😂 Don’t worry. Americans would love the adventure but only a very few will actually do it. Anyway, don’t you think a little repopulation of abandoned homes, with likelihood of renovations is a positive move in the right direction for Italy?
@MoveToItalyNow Yes, of course!!
