About Abruzzo Expat Living Solutions
We built the service we wish we’d had when we first decided to make Abruzzo our home.
Moving to Italy is a dream. The reality is that between bureaucracy, renovations, and unfamiliar systems, that dream can quickly become overwhelming – especially in another language.
We live in Abruzzo and have gone through exactly what many of our clients face: buying property, dealing with contractors, understanding Italian paperwork, and adapting to a new culture. We made mistakes, learned the hard way, and slowly built a network of reliable local professionals.
Abruzzo Expat Living Solutions grew out of this journey. Today, we use our experience to make your transition smoother, clearer, and far less stressful. We see ourselves as your local allies – independent, on your side, and fully focused on your interests.
What makes us different
- We live where we work – in Abruzzo, not in a distant office.
- We speak your language and Italian, so nothing gets lost in translation.
- We understand both expat expectations and local realities.
- We only recommend professionals we would trust with our own homes.
Our goal is simple: help you feel at home here, not just like a guest.
Multilingual support in five languages
Clear communication is the foundation of trust. We work comfortably in multiple languages so you can express yourself fully and understand every decision.
You choose which language you prefer for calls, emails, and documentation. We can also switch languages as needed when dealing with local authorities and Italian professionals.
What our clients say
Once you’ve worked with a local ally you trust, it’s hard to imagine doing it alone. Here’s how clients describe the experience.
Frequently asked questions
A few common questions from people considering a move to Abruzzo or already in the process.
Do you only work in Abruzzo?
Our focus and strength are in Abruzzo, where we live and know the local context well. For some administrative matters or remote consultations, we may also support clients elsewhere in Italy on a case-by-case basis.
Can you recommend builders, agents, or other professionals?
Yes. Over time we have built a network of local professionals we trust. We remain independent: our loyalty is to you, and we are transparent if any referral involves a commission or fee.
How do you work with clients living abroad?
We regularly work with clients who are abroad for most of the year. We use video calls, email, and photo and video reports to keep you fully informed, and we adapt to your time zone when scheduling calls.
Can we start small before committing to a larger package?
Absolutely. Many clients begin with a few hours of support or a specific project. Once you experience the value of having a local ally, it’s easy to decide whether a longer-term arrangement makes sense.
