We have just joined the forum.
We bought a small villa in Puglia last December, near to Ostuni in the countryside. We still have to furnish it and have some modifications done. Having trouble communicating with potential builders from this end.

We too have just bought an unfinished villa in Puglia, San Vitto. We were in Ostuni in March (when the Papa died actually) and put an offer in for a villa which is 75% finished. We have posted a few messages asking for help with building and furninshings.
We are going to be over in approx 4 weeks to complete the purchase and take stock of what will need to be done to the villa. I am a builder by trade and am seriously thinking about emigrating in the next two years and hopefully make a living.
Its nice to hear of other English people buying in the region which we fell in love with automatically, although when we came for our weeks holiday it was sooooo nice to get away from everybody and so refreshing not to hear our native language for a week and althought we do not speak ½ûÂþÌìÌà apart from the greatings we did get by.
Any useful info we will pass on and hopefully ditto
