Chasing la Bella Vita is getting a haircut! GO Pete!

Hi Guys, As you know Pete and I have purchased and renovated many properties in italy and we are selling one of them. This is a gorgeous luxury apartment in Santa Domenica Talao, Calabria. It is steps from the piazza completely renovated and ready to move in. It also comes furnished. There is rental potential if you are purchasing for a vacation home as well. Let us know if you are interested. It is a beautiful option, very well priced in a stunning town with gorgeous views of the sea and mountains. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8-hQrzEMyY

I lived in Italy in the 70's, 80's and 90's for six years. I lived in Milano, Roma and Napoli. Each had their own pros and cons. Basically I found northern Italians less friendly than folks in the south most of whom have relatives in the US with whom I grew up with. I have been looking for the right region to reside. I will rent, I love to travel by train, I dislike hot weather, prefer the coast and am looking at Pescara on the east coast and along the Ligurian coast. I am over 80, single, in good health but not very active. I speak Italian and French, so I am also considering France as well. I spent two years in Paris, prefer Italians but that is probably unfair because Parisians are as cold and unfriendly as Milanese and I know they are the exceptions. Based on all of the above, where should I focus? Not seeking an ERV, just 60 days at a time every six months.
