The move has four stages. Most people only prepare for one.

Everyone researches the house.

Some research the visa.

Almost nobody researches the order — and nobody, truly nobody, prepares for what comes after the boxes are unpacked.

That’s why the same tragedies repeat:

The couple who bought the dream summer town — and met its winter ghost.

The buyer whose "€20,000 house" carried €9,000 of fees nobody mentioned.

The non-EU arrival who missed an 8-working-day deadline they'd never heard of.

None of these people lacked intelligence or money. They lacked the map.

The whole map.

All four stages of it.

From “which region?” to “who do I call when the tractor blocks my driveway?”

Don’t be the expat who did everything right on paper — and went home in year two anyway, because a February evening in a silent house asked “what am I doing here?” and no guide had prepared an answer.

This Blueprint is not a brochure. Nor a fantasy.

It's a MAP — with the beautiful parts and the potholes marked.

We've walked the whole map — twice: once for us, and every week since for others

Hi, we’re Viviana and Sergio.

We moved from Germany to Abruzzo in 2022 — Italian roots, fluent Italian — and still stepped into almost every trap this Blueprint marks.

We stayed, we learned the system properly, and since 2025 we’ve been walking expats from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, and half of Northern Europe through the same journey:

  • trilingual
  • local
  • independent and commission-free

 

On exactly one side of the table: YOURS.

Made for Abruzzo — Italy's rising region for English- and German-speaking expats

Maybe you’ve chosen Abruzzo already.

Maybe you’ve only chosen Italy, and the region question is still open.

That’s precisely a Stage 1 decision, and this Blueprint takes it seriously instead of assuming it away.


Because Italy changes by region — and even by Comune:

Visas are national, but residency habits, offices, property rules, prices, and daily life are stubbornly local.

Generic “move to Italy” guides are how people end up prepared for a country that doesn’t quite exist.

This Blueprint is Abruzzo-specific on purpose — the region where we moved, live, and work, and the one now sitting second only to Tuscany in foreign buyers’ interest at roughly half the prices.

Undecided?

Stage 1 will help you decide honestly — including whether Abruzzo is NOT for you.

Decided?

This is the complete manual.

The whole journey, in the order that works

The Blueprint’s mechanism is its structure — the four stages:

Stage 1 — DECIDING

Why Abruzzo (an honest sales pitch, negatives included), coast vs hills vs mountains and the eight questions that pick your town, the money chapter, your legal path (EU, non-EU, mixed couple).

Stage 2 — FINDING HOME

Rent-first strategy, the hunt, and buying safely — the essence of our Home-Hunting Playbook, sharpened, with the full purchase math.

Stage 3 — ARRIVING

The six-document chain, healthcare, utilities and the winter-bill questions, car & licences & animals, and the week-by-week first 90 days.

Stage 4 — SETTLING IN

The unwritten manual, the Abruzzo year, the language plan, and the chapter on community and loneliness are the most important pages we’ve ever written.

This Move-to-Abruzzo Blueprint is the map we wish someone had handed us before we got here:

✔ The four stages every successful move to Abruzzo follows — and the truth that decides everything: a move succeeds in the order you do things, and fails in the order you skip them

✔ The money chapter: real monthly costs, the one-time move budget, the 15–20% buffer rule — and the sober version of the famous 7% flat tax (10 years, and choosing the right town can fund your whole relocation)

✔ The complete document chain, the healthcare doors, the utilities questions that decide your first winter’s bills

✔ Stage 4 — the part nobody writes guides about: the unwritten cultural manual, the sagra calendar, the language plan, and the honest chapter on loneliness (the #1 reason expats give up — and the fix)

✔ Five true horror stories — the €1,200 cash lesson, the horses, the bargain that wasn’t — and the four questions that would have prevented every one of them

We feel very fortunate to have found Viviana and Sergio. From our very first contact, they were warm, responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely interested in understanding what we were looking for. Because we are still in the U.S., we hired them to tour homes on our behalf, and they made the experience feel incredibly personal. They listened carefully to our priorities, noticed details that mattered to us, asked thoughtful questions, and shared honest impressions that helped us feel much more confident evaluating properties from thousands of miles away. What really stood out was the combination of professionalism and genuine kindness. We never felt like just another client. They took the time to understand our plans and made us feel that they truly cared about helping us find the right home and make a successful move to Italy. We are very grateful for their help and look forward to working with Viviana and Sergio again as we continue planning our relocation from the U.S. to Italy. We would recommend them without hesitation.

Besonders die Unterstützung bei der Prüfung von Unterlagen und die wertvollen Tipps für die Immobiliensuche in Italien haben uns sehr weitergeholfen. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die auf der Suche nach einem kompetenten und angenehmen Partner in Abruzzo sind.

"Absolutely amazing relocation support — couldn't have done this without her!" Viviana was instrumental in our move from the US to Abruzzo, Italy. She handled everything with professionalism and care — from securing and registering our lease, chasing down every document and payment, to keeping us organized through the entire process. She was responsive, patient, and always one step ahead, catching details we would have missed. Moving internationally is stressful, but Viviana made it feel effortless so far. If you're relocating to Italy, do yourself a favor and work with her — you will not regret it. Five stars isn't enough!

Wanderlust Abruzzen hat uns von Anfang an begleitet und wir waren sehr froh über so viele wichtige Tipps schon beim ersten Videocall. Wir sind noch im Suchprozess und brauchen die Hilfe von Wanderlust des Öfteren. Viviana antwortet sehr schnell und hat immer wieder Tipps und Hilfestellungen die einem das ganze erleichtern. Aber gleichzeitig spricht sie auch absolut die negativen Aspekte an, falsche Gedanken oder auch Leichtgläubigkeit. Wir haben uns vor Ort mit ihr getroffen und sie ist ein wirklich herzlicher Mensch. Wir werden die Hilfe von Wanderlust Abruzzo sicher noch des Öfteren in Anspruch nehmen. Müssen und auch wollen, da sie unser vollstes Vertrauen haben. Vielen Dank für die professionelle aber auch wirklich herzliche Zusammenarbeit. Wir sind froh das es euch gibt und ihr das hier von Herzen macht. Es nimmt uns viele Sorgen ab und erleichtert gaaaaaaaaanz viele verschiedene Dinge. Grazie Mille

Ich folge Wanderlust Abruzzo seit dem ersten Tag an. Lebe selbst in Italien und finde es toll was Viviana in Ihrem Forum schreibt. Man erkennt deutlich die Liebe zu Italien. Trotzdem schreibt Sie auch über die Probleme und Hindernisse die hier zu bewältigen sind. Dank Ihr kann man sich ein genaues Bild machen und Sie hilft einen, wo man selbst nicht weiterkommt. Ich wünschte ich hätte Sie am Anfang an meiner Seite gehabt. Liebe Viviana mach weiter so, viele können von Wanderlust Abruzzo profitieren!

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly

You can — but scattered across hundreds of forums and posts, often outdated, often wrong, and almost always about “Italy” in general.

But Italy changes by region and even by Comune.

This Blueprint exists because we did the deep research for ourselves first, then for the clients we help move from the US, Australia, Canada, the UK, Germany and beyond — to Abruzzo specifically: the region we moved to, live in, and work in.

Forty tabs give you information.

This gives you the map — in order.

Fair question — and no.

Stage 1 (deciding: the region, the town, the money, the 7% tax, your legal path) and Stage 4 (culture, the sagra year, language, community and the loneliness chapter) exist ONLY here.

That’s half the book, and arguably the most important half.

Stages 2–3 cover the same territory as the focused guides but rewritten as deep-dives within the full journey, with new material (the third notary example, the utilities chapter, the first-90-days plan).

And yes, Bonus 4 hands you all six tools from both guides, so you never need to buy them separately.

Yes — written in 2026: the 2024 mixed-couple rules, the SPID phase-out, the current healthcare contributions, the April 2026 update to the 7% tax town threshold.

And where numbers move, we show you exactly how to verify yours.

Immediately after purchase, a download link for a .zip file containing the 41-page Blueprint, five bonus PDFs, and the editable Excel calculator.

100+ pages of guides and tools in total.

Unzip it and everything is yours forever: read on any device, print what you like, type your numbers into the spreadsheet.

No — and the Blueprint says so honestly at every sensitive point.

It’s the practical map: what to do, in which order, with which papers and which questions.

For visas, cross-border taxes, and purchases, it tells you exactly when a professional is worth it — and we work with vetted partners for those moments.

Especially you.

The mixed-couple path (Type D visa, carta di soggiorno, the exact arrival order) has its own treatment — and Chapter 16 includes the couples’ conversation almost nobody has before moving.

We wish someone had told us to have it.

Then use the free 30-minute discovery call — the booking link is inside the Blueprint.

Wherever you are on the four stages, you’re one honest conversation away from your next step.

Yes: the product includes access to actual humans. Us.

Two ways to make the same move

Here’s the fork in the road:

Path 1

Assemble the move from forty tabs, six Facebook groups, and hope.

Prepare brilliantly for one stage and get ambushed by the other three.

Learn each lesson at full price, on your own.

Path 2

Spend a fraction of one wasted scouting trip — and get the whole map instead of guessing your way through it.

Walk all four stages with the map in hand, the tools in the drawer, and two humans on the ground, one call away.

The move is the same either way. Whether it works is not.
