    I was born and raised in Sulmona, which is just near to Pettorano. Lots of memories still alive in my mind about this magic village in the middle of the mountains. I spent many summers in "Il Chiosco", a beautiful bar/restaurant down the village, I can still breath that fresh clean air and drink that pure water from the fountains. Now I happily live in Essex with my other half, but we always think about getting a small apartment in my childhood places one day. I can't believe how lucky I was to be able to enjoy those places for so many years.

    Ciao Dave, I think a lot of people want to know about Dr's and hospitals and dentists, because they may be looking for retirement. If on vacation, expecting the unexpected, a cold, broken leg. (lol) a healthy life is a happy life, on the other hand, one does have to drink and eat. The place has good potential, it is very cute and cozy. The town is very lovely, and the views are stunning. Nice find loved it.

    I wish this were available in 10 years when I retire, I would buy it instantly - upstairs the smaller bedroom would be my office/library, and downstairs I would have the couch be a couch/bed converter for visitors. Perfect size for just me, and I love the views from that town and that restaurant, which I would eat at at least twice a week year round.

    The views are stunning! The property is quite nice as well! I could see something like this as a retirement home for me and my wife. I'm not too keen on the spiral staircase...I'd close off the balcony door from the kitchen for a kitchen remodel; adding some more cabinets as well as remodel of the bathroom; utilizing the space where that tiny washing machine is located. And although I despise seeing a washing machine in the kitchen, which I realize is common in Europe, that would be the best place for one in this home with a nice kitchen and bath remodel.

    How active is this region for earthquakes? Beautiful fountain and sundial. As for the bedrooms I would do a faux ceiling by just painting the details on it instead of doing all of the striping out of plaster. This is a beautiful property! On a humorous note, I can imagine someone walking into most every Italian property and the first thing they see is the kitchen and they are firm believers in the concept of Feng Shui. They have to realize the the Italian social concept is based on family and food. So let’s consider this as Feng Shui ala Italaiano!

      Foreign ownership restrictions on real estate are generally a matter of national policy and are typically implemented based on each country's unique economic and political circumstances. While some countries may have restrictions on foreign ownership of real estate, these policies are not necessarily reciprocal with those in other countries. Do you have a reference that specifically addresses Canadians as I can find none?

    • @maxwolpert2104
      @maxwolpert2104 Рік тому +1

      Unfortunately, Mr Benton's news and his explanation for the basis for it are both correct. Italian law applies reciprocity automatically without the need for specific new Italian legislation. So there is since January 1, 2023 a general ban on Canadians buying residential property in Italy.
      At the same time, it follows that the exemptions in the new Canadian law would also apply. For example, foreigners who have, or whose spouses or common law partners have, permanent resident status in Canada, can still buy houses or apartments in Canada. Thus Canadians with Italian resident status, or a spouse or common-law partner with Italian resident status (or Italian citizenship), should not be barred from buying in Italy.
      Also, purchase agreements that were signed and binding before January 1, 2023 are exempt. Another exemption is a property with 4 or more apartments. A further exemption is properties that require extensive renovation to be habitable.
      In addition, dual citizens can use their non- Canadian passport to buy residential property in Italy.
      There is one other important exemption, but I am researching to make sure of it. I will add details shortly.
      Hope this helps. Mr. Benton may have detailed all this in his online streaming sessions.

    Buying a farm is different story. It takes time to cultivate land. Lots of money neede for that too, but at least to are working, creating etc.
    If you are retired with huge saving account and nice pension than that's totaly different and it makes sence.

    I often find people's ideas of furniture arrangement distracting to the rooms. Id have the dining table near the actual kitchen. Completely reverse the eating and sofa area. Delete that big hutch altogether. A smaller one as you said in that little cave to store wine and glassware. Could be small wine hutch on the left in there and a bar type cart or hutch on back wall of the little cave! Also some people even here shove all furniture against the walls. I'd move sofa away from the wall. Have a little conversation area. View out the window. Not distract from that great ceiling.

    My maternal grandfather, Vincenzo Checca, was born in Pettorano sul Gizio in 1894 and immigrated to the USA in 1910. In 1914, he returned to Italy to fight in the Italian army during WW1 (Don't ask me why.). After the war, my grandfather returned to the USA never to return to Italy. I visited Petorano sul Gizio in 2013. It appears to have changed little since my grandfather's time. My original plan was to retire to Italy when I retire at the end of 2026 as I have UK citizenship. However, BREXIT threw a spanner into my plans. I'm now planning to retire to Argentina.

    The people that like this apartment or flat have to be older forks, because I think is dated n to small.

      Keep in mind of the price though. It's quite low. If you want a larger place that's move-in-ready, then obviously it's going to be a lot more expensive.

    Too bad decor spoils the architecture. .. no charm to enhance the
    beauty of it
