Very Enticing
The author did a great job at explaining all that awaits you if you retire to Italy. As I am getting older I am thinking of all my options and what I would like to do. I appreciate all the information about how to go about living there, the healthcare, how and where to live and the properties available. This gave me great information to help me decide if this is something for me. Saved me a lot of time from doing my own research. Well written.

Making your Dreams Come True
I just finished listening to "Retiring to Italy." I have a trip planned next year to Italy, where I have never been. My husband and I are both approaching retirement age. Jefferson Foster has produced a fantastic guide that takes you by the hand and lets you know everything you need to do to retire in Italy. My favorite quote in the book was, “Italy isn’t just a place to retire; it’s a way of life waiting to be embraced.” Foster knows what makes Italian culture so enchanting and how to help you make it your own. I enjoyed the explanation of the section on Visa and Residency. It helps to know what to expect and how to obtain what you need. This book was excellent, and I recommend it if you are considering a big move!
