Thanks

I don't know the answer to your query for sure, I bought a place rather than renting, but the guy we bought it from was also letting out his place next door long term. I think many Italians are very flexible about this sort of thing - one of our new neighbours offered me an apartment to buy or rent so I think it would be worth finding an agent with property to sell and asking them if the owners would like to rent out long term instead. If you speak Italian the best way is often to ask in the coffee shops/bars local to where you want to be. The owners alway know what's going on locally.

Sorry I can't help more than that, but maybe now there are replies on here some others will come and have a look and give their views.

In boca di lupo!

David
