Help in everyday life - Tips
Learn Italian
Buying, renovating and maintaining properties is naturally complex. But fortunately, service providers such as Property in Sicily and Sicula Services can take care of almost everything for you.
Do you really want to "arrive" in your new home now? And not always just be seen as a "tourist"? Then you need to learn Italian now.
You may have already guessed it - the large Property in Sicily Family has a solution for this too - the Solemar Academy:
Money
In theory, you should not need a current account in Italy if you are an EU citizen. In practice, however, you do - at the latest if you want to pay taxes.
Want to? No - you must pay property tax, a municipal tax and possibly income tax.
As you can see, an Italian bank account is essential for everyday life in Sicily.
Tip: no bank wants to manage only a current account. It is therefore certainly helpful if you become an "interesting customer".
Sicula Services will be happy to help you once again:
Well insured
You will also need to take out insurance in Sicily. For example, liability insurance is recommended for your property - especially if you are using it as a holiday letting.
Do you want to register your car in Italy? Then you must also insure it in Italy.
And, of course, health insurance is very important. Under certain circumstances, it may make sense to take out a (favourable) Italian private insurance:
Headache?
Sicula Services can help you with bureaucratic headaches, and a pharmacy with trivial headaches. For more serious matters, you need a doctor.
Contrary to many clichés, the standard of medicine in Sicily is high. You can even get appointments relatively quickly. But only - as you may have guessed - as a private patient:
And much more...
Everyday life in Sicily is not only colourful but also full of surprises. The topics described above are just a small selection.
Sicula Services also helps with many other seemingly banal everyday things. You can find more examples here:
