What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Italy?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Italy is like. They answered...
"We live in a one bedroom apartment 90 sqm. While the layout for the apartment is typical the location is not. We intentionally chose to live in a more touristy, city-type area because of the nearness of restaurants, bars, shops, museums, etc," remarked another expat who made the move to Bergamo, Italy.
"We have a large country property with a 200 year-old stone farmhouse on it that we restored. We have a 100% organic 'azienda agricola' with 500 producing olive trees and 250 citrus trees with other ornamental trees and two natural water springs on it. It is heavenly. The other expats in the area are a mix of apartment dwellers and countryside lovers like us (there are just a few of us)," explained one expat living in Catanzaro, Italy.
