Practical Information
Edit ThisSometimes traveling involves buying a house in a position to give a larger advantage point to traveling as far as position and time spent abroad is concerned. Many travel web sites have real estate on them. It makes sense. Sell everything you own and live abroad in order to make your money and life style go farther - or just buy that second house. Need just one month? Rent a house! What a better way to see the world!
Movie actors buy villas on the Lake of Como which is just over 30 minutes away. A few hours farther away in Tuscany there are foreigners galore who enjoy the sunny Italian life there.
What a better place to have that home than in the Bergamo area. It's within only around 2 and 1/2 hours to Switzerland, France, the Adriatic Sea or the Mediterranean Sea. And now that the airport at Orio al Serio has become international, it's just a hop to other countries, or even just back home.
Local mountain chalets are from 50,000 euro and even less! Village apartments or houses in the area are the same or more, depending on what you have in mind - and in your pocket book!
Have a look - to see for yourself - and think about new possibilities for traveling! Try the region of Lombardy.
