So glad you liked the video and the songs. We always have fun picking out the songs. Have a great time in Abruzzo - we’re jealous.

Thank you! It would be a great place to live.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you - we’re glad you liked the video. Your trip is coming up soon! Have a lot of fun

Thank you! I wish I had taken more video during the trip but up to now I had always been focused more on photos. I like the music a lot too. Nothing can ruin a good video like yuck music. Glad you liked it!

That’s great! Glad the video was helpful - that’s exactly why we make them. We get a lot of our trip ideas from people’s videos too!

Glad you liked it - thank you!

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!

@@abuzzaboveitaly italians speak italian...after other lenguages....this is the italian magic

@@abuzzaboveitaly Why rap? I stopped watching , Fara San Martino is not part of NY, that crap doesn't go with the images.

Not sure which video you were watching. I agree that rap (American or Italian) would not go with this video at all. There is only normal Italian music here, some older songs and a couple more recent.

@@abuzzaboveitaly Well it sound rap to me, very few notes and a lot of nonsensical rhyme, it didn't go with the view, but that is my opinion, .. Then again, what do I know.

You’re welcome! It’s fun to go through the trips again.

Wow, that is cool - small world! We try not to give out too much personal info on the videos but we have got similar backgrounds. If you want to, send us an email at abuzzaboveitay@gmail.com and we might be able to give you some info...

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks, glad you liked it!

Wow, that place looks amazing! That should be a ton of fun. We loved Casoli too. Hard to beat the views.

Glad you like the videos! In an ideal world, a house in Fara or Abruzzo would be amazing. Unfortunately, we are still tied to normal jobs here in the States for now and we hear that the visa situation for living there can be a paperwork nightmare. In the meantime we try to visit at least once a year. Once retirement comes we will try to stay the max 3 months for sure. I am trying to finish the next video as I write this. I am still new at making these and it takes me a lot longer than it should. They are hard because until this year I never thought of making any public videos. We just made photo books to remember the trip (hence the focus on photos instead of videos... can't wait to go again to focus more on videos) The next video will be on Modica in Sicily. (We are also big Sicily fans) Ciao!

Hi - sorry for the delayed reply, we were out of town for a while! That's funny you asked this, someone else did a little while ago too. It is a tough question and a lot depends on what kind of facilities you want nearby. A small town can be rustic and homey but not have a lot of the conveniences that you may want - grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Fortunately, there is usually another town within 15-20 minutes so maybe it wouldn't be as big a deal. Sulmona is a bigger town and pretty centrally located. It has a lot of the modern conveniences but can still retain the small Italian town charm in places. Or a town close to Sulmona could work out. We really liked Pescocostanzo and Palena too. Towns like Fara San Martino and Lettopalena are probably too small for what we would look for - they are nice but don't have a big choice in restaurants, bars, piazzas, etc. One channel I would really recommend is AHomeInItaly. He shows a lot of houses in Abruzzo and has a weekly live stream where he answers questions too. Good luck in your search, we are jealous!

@@abuzzaboveitaly Thank you very much for taking the time to reply, much appreciated!

No problem, good luck in your hunting! Another channel we like is JustDreamItaly He focuses on Puglia but his videos are really really well made.

Hi - so glad you liked the video! I would definitely recommend renting a car. There is some public transport but the schedules aren't super regular and finding a bus to go to where you want might be a challenge. (It would be a little easier if you spoke good Italian, but that won't change the schedules or anything) Driving is pretty easy for the most part and it is easy to find your way around. There isn't a lot of traffic or many big highways so you don't have to worry about being highbeamed by a Ferrari or anything. There are lots of signs and if you do miss a turn, worst case you go 5 minutes to an unintended town and turn around. The roads are well maintained and we haven't had any scary edge of cliff driving or really tight S curves on a hillside. Getting around in the small towns is probably more of a hassle because the roads can be narrow and have surprise one way directions. Have a great time on your trip! If you have any other questions just let me know.

@@abuzzaboveitaly Thanks you so much for your detailed reply. It is deeply appreciated. I think I will take your advice to rent a car. Be brave, be bold, is my motto.

It will make the trip much easier in the long run.

We will put it on the list! Always looking for more places to go.

It’s not for everybody I guess but it is an amazing place
