Hi Claire,
I guess that I might be your neighbor soon. I bought in Ofena The small place next to the old olive oil company. In the process right now, deposit is already down, paperwork getting authenticated in Rome as we speak. Look forward to any news that you could share. I read your blog on Blogspot. Made me chuckle once or twice. I actually ate at the resturaunt that you mentioned in the picture. Ofena seems to be a happening place. Question, do you have a car in Ofena or do you rent for your visits? Just curious, thinking about making Ofena my first home in Italy, possibly looking to buy near Casoli and Lago de SaintA'gelo in the near future.
