Ciao everyone,
I am new to slow travel. I am a single female who will be moving to Italy (Florence) in a couple of years. I would like help in finding websites listing apartments and or small homes/efficiencies, if there is such a thing in Italy, to do some research at this time. Also if anyone knows of any good local real estate agents(English speaking) I will be in Florence next summer and would love to meet some.

Thanks

Yes, I can help you with this. I have some contacts in Florence that helped me when I lived there last year. Do you know where you want to be in Florence, how large and how much money you want to spend?

Ciao BellaItalia,
thank you for your reply. I am really not particular about the area of Florence that I want to live, in the city, out of the city, it is all fine. I am more concerned about finding something very small(just enough for one person) and cheap.(Less than $100,000) The cheaper the better. And a fixer-upper would be fine too. I am open to anything.

We used www.ecasa.it to find our apartment. There are listings through agencies as well as private owners. You can select to rent or to buy an apartment on the site, as well as location.

The private rentals and sales are all listed as the last pages.

Also check on EasyMilan magazine. Sometimes they have houses or apartments listed for sale through their bi weekly magazine.

Good Luck!
