Welcome!
Congratulations! You have found us!
We work in close association with well over 100 estate agents and property developers throughout Central Italy (Umbria, Northern Lazio and Southern Tuscany) to bring you over 400 properties to choose from. This costs you no more than if you deal with them directly as we share the commission they normally charge. We personally visit virtually every property so that we have first-hand knowledge of not just the house but also the environment, access, views, and local services. We publish far more photos and information than any other site and have recently added video too. Our property search and notification facility is second to none.
We also work with many holiday rental agencies and property owners to bring you a wide selection of properties to rent for a holiday, while house-hunting, or while restoring. We can even help in advertising the letting of your holiday home, and if you buy through us we do this for free!
We provide you with masses of helpful information about visiting, buying and living in Central Italy. There are pages about growing olives, bringing pets, getting insurance, the weather, places to visit, exporting your car, and even building a duck pond! Above all we try to make our website interesting and fun - not dull and boring!
We have a team to help with maintenance, renovation or restoration. Our first-hand experience of renovating properties and living in Italy is available to guide you through the sometimes difficult process. We have a team of architects, surveyors, builders, plumbers, electricians and even geological engineers to manage anything from fitting a post box to a complete restoration and installing a pool.
We even have an After Sales Services team to help you with things like registering with a doctor, getting your children into a local school, buying a car, getting residency permits, setting up your computer, etc.
This website receives over 3,000 page views per day with an average visitor stay of over 5 minutes* and is fast becoming the website for people interested in Central Italy. There are links to many, many other sites to provide the answer to almost any question. You can pick all or any of our services so, if you already have a house here, we can help you market your holiday home or even sell it. And of course, if you just want to have a holiday in Central Italy, that's fine too. We hope you find our website helpful, interesting, and even entertaining.
Please take a moment to register for our innovative newsletter so that we can keep you informed of new developments. We would appreciate your comments too on any way in which you think we can improve our website and services.

We were shocked to learn that for every £289 spent on cancer research only £11 is spent on Alzheimer's research, yet the same number of people die each year from each. So, La Porta Verde is organising an unusual event on 4th and 5th July to raise money for the Alzheimer's Research Trust - Mini Mille Miglia - a slot car version of the current Mille Miglia. Sir Stirling Moss OBE has kindly agreed to be patron of the event and Scalextric are one of the main sponsors. We hope to confirm TV coverage and our celebrity driver shortly. We hope you will support this event either by coming to watch, making a donation, or even being one of the sponsors. Click the magazine to see a larger version.

I'm not really interested in reading about history, but it does help to past the time.

Perugia Province project to celebrate 150 years of the Italian State, in 2011, is to expand Perugia airport into a fully-fledged international airport. Someone read this and asked me what the difference between an 'international airport' and a 'fully-fledged international airport' is. Easy...one is fully-fledged and the other isn't.
Ryanair has anounced flights from Perugia to Girona/Barcelona, three times a week (Mon/Wed/Fri) from 02 July. Many thanks to Jim Powrie of Green Umbria for the information. You can take advantage of this by booking on www.ryanair.com.
Alitalia announce that their flights from Milan to Perugia will cease shortly. There is speculation that a flight from Rome to Perugia may replace it. Certainly Perugia airport will be looking for more flights to replace the loss of this internal flight.
We heard recently that within the next two years Viterbo airport is to change from a military airport to an international with all the 'low-cost' airlines being transferred from Ciampino Rome, which is to become a national airport. This is excellent news for Umbria as Viterbo is only just outside the south-west border, in Lazio.
