    What a sweet video! I loved the towns you visited, and personally would have picked either #3 or #4 myself. Abruzzo is a real find, I just hope it doesn't get too pricey by the time I get there! Blessings

    great choice! One thing about moving to such a culinary heaven, you two are gonna be 30lbs heavier in 6 months just being surrounded by all these great eateries !! lol 😅
    If you have 2 or 3 cars at any of the 7 houses, where do you park them ? when visitors come over do they need to walk 1 or 2km from the base of the village to reach your place? Your husband looks like Ryan Reynolds!

    • @travelinginspanglish

      Hahaha the weight gain was crazy at first! We had to slow down on the carbs and gelato ☺️ and with regards to cars- piazzas have parking and the walks to the homes are quick and quaint:)

      @@travelinginspanglish Thank you. We live on the lake so we absolutely love that view but that town is very small with a few hundred ppl. Can you tell me if they have public transportation in order to get to larger towns or do you need to have a car?

    • @travelinginspanglish
      @travelinginspanglish  Год назад

      Yea! I get that. The small medieval vibe is what we loved about Colledimezzo. But there are bigger cities. I would say you do absolutely need a car in Abruzzo in general. Yes.

    • @tamimorales1116
      @tamimorales1116 Год назад

      Well we wont be a resident so we can't own a car or motor scooter ovr 49cc's. I know Sulmona has a train station and buses and I think Raiano does also. They go to Pescara which is a larger city that has the fast train that goes down the coast Rome etc. I do love some of the smaller town so I guess we will see what happens😊

    Thank you for taking us on your house hunt! There are some beautiful choices there :) I am flying to Puglia in two weeks to start the process of buying, but I would love to hear how you found these and arranged the appointments to view them! I have been using Idealista for years, but hardly ever get replies. Thank you!

    House #4 is my favorite. We are thinking about house hunting just like you guys did, when I retire in 2024. Thanks for posting.

    • @travelinginspanglish
      @travelinginspanglish  2 года назад

      House 4 was lovely, but not for us. No central heat and we really didn’t love the bathroom. Now we are exactly next door and our home has been renovated . I’m thankful for our choice. The process is crazy, but so worthwhile! I wish you guys the best, and I hope you find a wonderful home!

    Awww congrats Joanna , Aaron so many beautiful building and views but the view of the town and the river or lake is just amazing it couldn’t have been easy narrowing it down to just that 1 but overall it certainly seem to tick more boxes, Ive always had a soft spot for Italy and Greece since I was about 7 reading about it’s ancient armies and mythology I was hooked then and that hasn’t changed in 50 + years haha I wish you and your family happiness and love like every home should feel within its walls , look forward to updates and style choices you’ll pick ( I was once a manager of a furniture store and and an interiors centre back in the day so il be keeping a eye out on how you move forward 👍) great vid and happy your turning a dream into reality 🥂

      ALLAN!! Thank you so much for your congrats and well wishes! You are the absolute BEST! So thankful for you! We are thrilled- and can’t wait to show off the inside of the home once we fix it up! I promise, you’re gunna be proud of the design ideas I have! Light and bright and airy- and neutral!:)

      @Distant394 2 года назад +1

      @@travelinginspanglish I’m in no doubt how you will style it , it will look fabulous ,and you certainly don’t need to spend a fortune to stamp your style on it , hopefully some of the building work you probably got in mind will run smoothly for you but the creation of your dream home should be savoured at every point from the very start to moving in such an exciting venture for you all 👍

      Thanks so much! The process is crazy- because it’s a whirlwind. The realtors in the area are very prepared and do this all the time, so it goes fast. In 4 months we were homeowners after we made our offer. Insane! Everything was managed for us, super super easy! Especially if you go with Abruzzo Rural Property. Love them!
