Back in 2003, we published a series of articles by David Collins (they can be seen here)
David has lived and worked in Tuscany for over 20 years now and lives near Lucca with his Italian wife and two children.
As founder of Our Toscana he has helped hundreds of overseas buyers to move and settle in this beautiful part of the world.
He is truly passionate about his work and very proud of the many restoration projects that he has taken on throughout Tuscany.
The idea of these articles was to share his valuable knowledge with Barganews’ readers on a number of specific themes.
This week comes news that he has a new book just a bout to be published.
This book is a real gem with lots of fantastic information and is written by somebody with mountains of experience in Tuscany.
An easy read that takes a refreshing look at a wide range of themes from the disappointing house-hunting adventures undertaken by thousands of foreign pilgrims to restoring a Tuscan roof, re-pointing a stone facade or installing a dream pool.
The buying process in Italy is thoroughly examined with updates on recent laws and regulations.
This book is an absolute must for those of you thinking about moving to Tuscany or Italy.
It is a no-nonsense, pragmatic book that looks at the strengths and weaknesses of Tuscany and is packed with valuable tips, advice, Italian terms and lots of updated costs.
An absolute must-read before you depart on the Italian journey – book can be bought on Amazon here
