We're kicking off this season by diving into the whirlwind adventure of moving from Ireland to Italy. In this episode, we'll take you through the history of our previous accommodation in Ireland and the pivotal moments that led us to make the leap to Italy.

We'll start by sharing the story of when we began seriously considering a move to Italy, highlighting the challenges and excitement that came with such a big decision. Our journey began in Naples, where we scoured Idealista for potential apartments.

We'll walk you through our experiences with our three different Florentine apartments broken into the following categories:

  • Location: [Specific Neighbourhood]
  • Layout: [Size and Rooms]
  • Price: [Cost of rent, bills and deposit]
  • Agency: [Agency Name]
  • Contract: [Type]
  • Bills: [Cost and Management]
  • Appliances/Furnishings

We'll also delve into some of the more challenging aspects of our move, including losing our deposits and dealing with a bad agency. However, it wasn't all bad news; we'll also share our positive experiences with a good agency and how we navigated different types of contracts, from temporary one-year agreements to longer residency contracts.

For those considering a move to Italy, we'll provide some valuable advice based on our experiences, including tips on securing residency and other practical insights.

So, grab your headphones and join us as we embark on this new season with stories, lessons, and plenty of laughter from our Irish-Italian adventure!
