Great to have awakened a few of you Yorkshire folk over the olympics,didnt we do well!!Yes we get all over the world even to Italy. Hear in wonderful Abruzzo, the countryside and its people remind me of Yorkshire,when getting to know my neighbours,at first they were very cautious,just like us Yorkshire folk, but once they get to know you, i would say you have a friend for life!! Meraviglioso Abruzzese and Yorkshire folk.

Hi Lisa C,You probably have reasons for your choice of Marche but just wondered if you have looked further south in Abruzzo,prices here are lower for properties you describe.Abruzzo is a very picturesque region of natural country areas of rolling hillsides,hilltop villages and a little further inland the mountains,which form part of Italys largest national park.Not far from where we are is the historic town of Vasto with its wonderful sandy beaches  along the coastline. Here are many rustico/antico properties in various states of structure,traditional brick or stone,some with large amounts of land.We believe we have found our dream location but everyones criteria is different.Wishing you all the best in finding your dream location.

Hi Rachel68. Remember to check that you have a minimum floor to ceiling height in the old cow shed if you are to make it habitable (min2.3m) but always check with your geometra/commune for your type property.We had to dig out our old cow shed floor.
