I moved to Italy from the Provence region of France, 10 years ago without a spoken word of ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ. At that time I bought my dream trullo home in the countryside of Ostuni with 2 hectares of land populated by olive and fruit trees. The trulli are perched upon a hill with beautiful views across the valley.
The language was difficult to get to grips with at first but I soon learned to communicate even in a primitive style and of course with gesture. After ten years of living in Italy, I can safely say that I am now fairly familiar with this beautiful language and relatively undiscovered region of Italy.
In 2008 I set up office and a property management company in the market town of Cisternino, called Key Konexion, looking after a number of properties owned by mainly residents of GB. Fours years later, in 2012, I began Relax Puglia alongside Key Konexion renting villas owned by expats and ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs in the Valle d'Itria. Although Relax Puglia is a relatively young company we are growing quickly whilst retaining our professional and efficient work style and ethic.
Today we number four in the company covering four different languages, ½ûÂþÌìÌà of course, English, French and German. I full-time and my colleagues on a part-time basis are dedicated to providing a service to our clients whether they be owners of properties or our guests.
