Why should you live in Italy?

If you want to spend your retired life in a quiet country, moving to Italy is a wise decision for different reason.

If you move to Italy, in fact, you will find a country rich in culture, food and history where you can live in a slow way.  It’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss for any reason in the world.  You can live here thanks to a monthly rent, where you can try a paid trial period of 30 days, and then you can decide to stay here for longer stays, or spend your entire retire life here. Thanks to WillAge, this is possible. But why would you want to do that? Here are some great reasons to live in Italy.

There are a lot of activities you can do without an effort.

• Affordable prices and lower cost of living.

There is a huge difference between renting an apartment in the city centre of Italy and the city centre of  UK. We’re talking about a difference of 60%, depending on the period.

Thanks to that, you can easily choose the lifestyle that you think can fits more for your habits.
