TSD – The Idea
"I want a house in France" - this had been my mantra for many years, but I never seemed to have enough money to make it happen...it felt like the French were deliberately moving house prices just out of my reach on purpose, I can almost hear them saying "L'ordinateur dit NON" :-)
During one of my many internet house searches I drifted a little outside of France and found myself in Sicily (virtually you understand) and stumbled on a wonderful little mountain village called Cianciana and bought a house there, since this day I have never looked back!
I now own this house and four houses in Bulgaria...FOUR I hear you say, well yes this was not my intention, it just kind of happened and I guess it is a lesson to those thinking of buying abroad. Curb your enthusiasm, visit the country first and research your area before you buy.
I have no regrets I love all of my four houses...
