"My husband and I are New Yorkers, spending this winter abroad as we do every year. He works seasonally in tourism and is able to travel in winter and I am able to work remotely in communications. We're global travelers and have gone to the southern hemisphere in past years... pursuing the warmth and sun and new adventures. But for a longer term potential move, we are more interested in Europe and specifically, at this point, Italy. He has had some recent health issues and I also want to look into options for while we are traveling this winter, and for the future, as back up. We'll be heading to Puglia for first few months of 2024." - Gravesdigs

"What towns in Puglia or Abruzzo have good countryside yet have access to good hospitals/ health care, are close to train stations, and possibly airports? Are the 7 percent tax villages in provinces participating in the retirement program worth living in? My concern is they are largely abandoned with old, decayed housing and lack services and a safe quality of life in Italy that would make less expensive real estate worth it. Would love to hear any specifics about happy expats living in any 7 percent zone. Thank you, and I truly hope my dream to live and retire in Italy comes true." - Millermk
