Hi,My wife and I have just joined the Community and are looking forward to learning and sharing experiences in Italy. We have a holiday home in Calabria which we love. We have had the house 3 years but are still learning about the practicalities of life in the south.Dave and Anna

Hi, Welcome to the Forum. Where are you in Calabria? We have a house in Calabria also near Soverato. You any where near us??

Hi, Thanks for the welcome. We are in Montepaone Lido not far from Le Vele - where are you? Did we also see that you are in Bournemouth? If so we are not far away as we are between Winchester and Romsey.

Hi, We are in Westbourne,Bournemouth. We know where you are as we shop in Le Vele!! We have a small house in a village called Sant Andrea,nr Davoli. We will be going back to do more D.I.Y. in Sept.

Hello Dave and Anna and welcome to the Community. We look forward to hearing more from you.

We know where you are but can't say we know the village. We have certainly shopped for fruit at Davoli and looked around there when we were searching for a house. The Garden Centre at Satriano is another place we have used. Have you been to Badalato just down the coast a little from you? The old town at the top of the hill looks almost biblical as you approach it from below.We are not going again until October when like you we will be doing some DIY etc. Sept will still be fairly warm so we hope you are not doing anything to strenuous. Shame we are not there at the same time as we could have met for a coffee and cornetto or pizza and glass of wine.Dave and Anna

Hi Dave and Anna,a warm welcome to both of you to the Italy Community.Certainly life in southern Italy is slightly different from the northern area of the country for many reasons: culture, job, religion, food. Hope you'll get used to and that you'll find a community of friends in Calabria.
