    Wow wow wow, you kept this quite! Love the video, very informative material and very well delivered.
    My idea of creating a salentowithlove UA-cam Accademy is getting one step closer.
    Seeing you on screen reinforce my concept of being a catalyst in life for greater things.
    Looking forward to the amazing developments and collaboration 🙏

    Hi Stefan’s, bravo. You are a trend setter. I have thinking about making this dream come true. Watching your videos has recharged me.

    We did the same… researched, flew out as soon as things opened up, looked around all over Southern Italy and fell in LOVE with Salento, and made our purchase. Can’t wait to get back and get to work on renovations. Glad to meet a neighbor and follow along on your journey!

    Your insights are really helpful. It seems that our budgets and wants align almost exactly.
    I really appreciate your candor about the process and costs.
    We are planning to reach out to Davide as well. Your reflections on the process solidified that for us.

    Lol......I am also buying an apartment sight unseen. It was kind of scarry, but I had Lilly of Calabria Dreaming look at the places for me. Her and her husband did an outstanding job. She queud in spot on my priority list.
    I also found my own homes and she looked them up for me.
    Will be arriving around mid to late January. I am already retired!

    So excited that you are making these videos! I’m going to binge watch all the videos! We also want to retire in Italy.
    We are planning a trip for April/May 2022! I adore Italy and all of its warm people! I especially love the calmer pace of southern Italy/Sicily!
    I was blessed with 3 wonderful years (1995-1998) living in Sicily! My love for Italy has never faded!
    I’m so excited to hear all your adventures and love that you worked with Salento With Love! I love watching his channel!

    We're getting ready to do the same thing. A one euro home is not for us -- I'm Croatian and Montenegrin and have been priced out there -- east coast Italy seems like a terrific option. I may be in touch to ask more questions. Thanks so much for doing this!

    I’m envious! I was in Puglia this past September. I visited many large and small towns to figure out what I liked. I’ve been watching Davido’s videos going on a year now. It’s nice to hear he’s willing to work with smaller budgets.
    Congratulations on your new home. I’m looking forward to Watching it’s evolution!

    Hello, so nice to see all your progress. I messaged you a few months back. I will be in Italy and would love some advise on where to start. I am booking my flights and would appreciate information. I want to eventually buy a house there. Thanks so much.

      Hi Elizabeth. Message me on Facebook and we can talk. There is a lot to consider...

    I’m moving to Italy March 2023. I narrowed it down to Puglia and Calabria Scalea in Calabria. In Puglia I open. I prefer to be in a 7% flat tax area. Did you consider that? I have been in Puglia. Love it!

    • @CasaStefano
      @CasaStefano  2 роки тому +1

      Puglia is also a 7% flat tax area for a Elective Residency visa. I may choose to be a resident in the future. I love it too!

    • @carolc1543
      @carolc1543 2 роки тому +1

      @@CasaStefano I have dual citizenship , so no visa for me. The 7% flat tax limits me to towns with less than 20,000 people. I’ll be looking around in May.

    Hi, I know you touched on the “where” on this video. I had been looking at Abruzzo but after a price comparison I am looking more South. Hopefully I will be able to visit this region soon. We could be neighbors. Can you elaborate a bit on the residency program. I have a million questions, I hope you don’t mind.

    • @CasaStefano
      @CasaStefano  2 роки тому

      It’s called the Elective Residency visa. It’s for retired people who can demonstrate sufficient passive income. Check it out!

    So bizarre how many of us were doing the same thing for the exact same purposes (int'l retirement).

    Smart idea not buying a ruin and spending years to fix it up, then too old and tired to enjoy it.
