Advise on moving to Umbria

Post New Topic

Does anyone have any advise on moving to Umbria - it has been a dream of mine for the past couple years (I am really interested in the smaller towns rather than big city life). I am living in Toronto and really want a change of pace and a warmer climate. I lived in Italy when I was a child and therefore can speak the language reasonably well, I also have an EU passport but I feel like fear gets the better of me sometimes. I have a small boy who would be starting school and I have no clue how renting works in Italy. i was imagining a town with something like a farmhouse property or something away from any noise, I also need to work however- what do Italian single working mums do with their kids for afterschool pick up and care,? Where can I search for rentals other than casa.it, does anyone have an opinion on assissi? Any recomendations to areas with an expat community where i could make some friends?

It's always better to deal with one step and one topic at a time. The answers are less confusing that way.

First, what EU country passport do you have? If it is a UK passport, then you will have to consider the potential affect that Brexit would have on any plans you might make. If it is any other, then no problem.

Next, is the issue of work. What skills/trade/profession/experience do you have? Asking about where to live before establishing the likelihood of finding work in the area is putting the 'cart before the horse'. There's no use saying you want to live in the country if you are only likely to find work in a city/town.

Daycare, school pick up etc. all depend on the above as well. That is what will determine what is available.

You don't search for rentals until you have determined where you are likely to find work. The same goes for expat groups.

Hi joyisabell,

Here are a few other options for a housing search, though I've only looked on casa.it and subito.it thus far.

Eurekasa.it
Subito.it
mioaffitto.it
soloaffitti.it

Good luck!
