Hello folks - where do people find longer term rentals in Italy? Airbnb tends to be expensive. I’m looking at rentals in Florence/Sicily/Rome.

Also - how do you find areas/neighborhoods that have expats/nomads hanging out? Don’t want to be isolated right when I’m starting on my Nomads journey! Thanks for your help folks!

minonomad 5mo

Try to get in touch with locals. Many rent cash on hand also and much better rates

danamo 5mo

Italian here. I haven’t been in a while but in Sicily I don’t think you’d find expat hubs as such. Catania might be a bit more active than average in that area, but I’d recommendeelsewhere (not Italy) for first nomading 😅

nonno84 5mo

Well, in Palermo there are some. And speaking about the south, also in Matera.

If you want to find big hubs, in general, it's better to avoid big expensive countries, with too many beautiful places. Inevitably there are going to be less nomads, and the few of them are sparse.

robinsinghvi 5mo

Fair point. I’m in Italy right now though and thought about staying here for a month or two. So trying to find the right spots.

nonno84 5mo

Try to focus more on logistics, otherwise you risk spending a lot of time moving around, especially if you don't plan to get a car or a moto.
Unless you are rich I would recommend a place like Forlì, central and well connected but less famous and expensive than Bologna, not on the beach but not even that far.
More central maybe Perugia, Foligno or Ancona. In the South I wouldn't know what to suggest apart from Matera and the obvious other big cities. There are plenty of amazing little towns (Sapri, Scario, Maratea), but on the coast it's going to be expensive.

paulcarson 5mo

As somone who is now in Sicily, its tricky. We used flatio to get a 3 month rental then in person found an Italian speaking real estate guy who knew everyone. This way you don't get lost or fucked over. Most local don't use Airbnb etc cause you have to pay taxes 😂 and yeah palermo has a small but growing similarly catania is more a business hub for Italy in general otherwise i find i meet retirees all over the island very spread out who all say ah yeag there isva young guy or young womem they do remote working

paulcarson 5mo

Or as the Italians say 'smart working'

paulcarson 5mo

So we are all smart well done us 😂😂

robinsinghvi 5mo

I’m in Catania now!

furkanhanci 5mo

robinsinghvi 5mo

In Florence until the 25th! HMU if you’d like to hangout and chat AI! :)

Hi there! Any recommendations on the best/safest area to stay for a short visit to Rome in June? I’ll be there just for 4/5 days for the first time and want to see all the main highlights

nthnjns 4mo

I like Testaccio. You can ride one of those scooters up to the main sites along the Tiber River path... people will recommend Trastevere but there are lots of Gypsy pickpockets in that hood so just be wary. Half of Rome feels like Africa at this point so just be prepared.

nadial23 4mo

I would say for a short visit stay in the center or close to the Vatican. Easy transport and close to everything. Testaccio is fun but a bit far for a short trip. Trastevere is great, kind of NYC east village, but if you want ease to get around everywhere rather than color in the neighborhood where you are, I would stay central.

Hey everyone! I'm in Milan for ~7 hours... If anyone has suggestions please let me know for absolute musts - food and coffee places appreciated. Thanks!

williamcodes 4mo

Anybody in Rome? I'm here for a month.

minonomad 3mo

🏔️ anyone hanging out around the alps in Italy this summer hit me up ✌🏼

antoniostrnwsky 3mo

planning to do so, probably around end of june/beginning of july.

minonomad 3mo

Lmk, I’m at lake como

susifusi 3mo

Does anybody know the villages of Pianoro and/or Sasso Marconi near Bologna? Would love to hear how you perceived them!

jyeray 3mo

Is anyone around Bologna? Currently here and I’m going to stay a couple of weeks

coribee 3mo

Hi all! If anyone is looking for recs in Milan or wants to meet up, feel free to hit me up anytime!

After 5 years of nomading in 35 countries, I finally settled down in Milan so I’ll be here most of the time ☀️🇮🇹

Ciao!

nonno84 3mo

Benvenuta in Italia 👋
(I'm not a big fan of the city you chose, but as the Latins were used to say: "De gustibus non disputandum est" 😅)

coribee 3mo

Thanks! I came here for love haha so I didn’t really choose the city! But I like Milan, it’s quite international and more functional than most of Italy (infrastructure-wise). Where are you based?

nonno84 3mo

A little village of 2000 souls in the middle of Marche, quite remote in every sense

marianaflame 3mo

Planing to go to Rome next week, but no logistics figured out yet. I’m from Brazil, anyone there in Italy?

minonomad 3mo

Hey great!! I’m at Lake Como 1h by train / car

jasonmazza 3mo

I'm in Milan too, Nivigli area, been here a few weeks

undecumani 3mo

Anyone currently in Bari?
I'm surprised how much has changed the city in the last years and how much DNs welcoming has become

nirvico 3mo

This list has aged surprisingly well

thisismike 2mo

I'm from Milan - born and raised there. If you need info or anything hmu 🤙

nthnjns 2mo

I'll probably have to subtract Trieste because that's where the cruise ships to Venice now dock :( but if FVG region is still quite underrated (especially if you have a car).

nthnjns 2mo

Hook me up with the real places to eat/aperitivo? I'm staying in Citta Studi/Acquabella area for a month. I try to avoid Navigli or the center of town if possible...don't need fancy.. just good Lombardy food...

nirvico 2mo

I'm in Trieste now :/ Don't mind the cruise ships... not yet.

nthnjns 2mo

If you're into hiking you can take a bus here and then a great walk through the valley into Slovenia (no border crossing just an abandoned customs post)

simitandchill 1mo

Check varedelo!

fercii 1mo

Hey is somebody on Rome this days???

noelly 1mo

anyone who has rented a camper van in Italy to share experience? Around the Dolomites to be more precise

nonno84 1mo

A friend of mine used "roadsurfer" (no link allowed) a couple of times and she was satisfied

narvaeth 27d

Anybody currently in Italy?

Hi!
For my doctoral dissertation, I would like to conduct interviews via Zoom about digital nomads. The interviews will be voice-only and will consist of several questions on the topic. Would anyone be willing to participate and help me with my research?
