Whether you're planning your move to Abruzzo or already here and feeling overwhelmed, get real, friendly support from someone who speaks your language, lives in Abruzzo, and knows the system.
Imagine sipping your morning coffee in a quiet piazza, hiking through national parks, or soaking in coastal views.
Abruzzo isn’t just mountains and sea — it’s charming villages, friendly locals, farmers’ markets, and a slower rhythm of life that feels like the real Dolce Vita.
But moving here takes more than dreaming — and that’s where we come in. We guide you through the paperwork, bridge the language gap, and help you move to Abruzzo stress-free.
Because relocating isn’t just about finding a house — it’s about building a life. And Abruzzo is the perfect place to do it.
You’ve dreamed of moving to Abruzzo, the slower pace, the good wine, the countryside, the dolce vita.
But then come the barriers:
Official documents in Italian can be confusing. You’re not sure if you're doing it right, and the translations online don’t help.
Agents don't reply. Landlords only speak Italian. Listings vanish before you get a viewing. Finding a place remotely is far from simple.
What if you misread a situation, miss something important, or just feel isolated? The anxiety is real and it’s exhausting.
Settling in Abruzzo with someone who understands your language and the local system.
Suddenly, it doesn’t feel so hard.
It feels like starting over with a friend by your side.
From healthcare to residency forms, we’ll walk you through what they mean, what steps to take, and connect you with a specialist if it goes beyond what we can help with.
From pre-selecting properties to joining your viewings (or doing them on your behalf) and handling agent and landlord communication, we make sure nothing gets lost, missed, or misunderstood along the way.
Whether you're weighing a big decision or just need someone to talk it through with, we'll walk beside you, with local knowledge, honest advice, and zero judgment.
Moving to Abruzzo shouldn’t feel like a second full-time job. We offer flexible, hourly support to bridge the gap between you and your new Italian life, ensuring every practical detail is handled with care.
Move to Abruzzo stress-free with help from someone who’s done it.
Whether you’re just starting to plan or already unpacking your boxes, we are here to make the practical stuff simple so you can focus on enjoying life here.
We bridge the cultural gap, helping you handle everything from residency documents to everyday conversations with neighbors or real estate agents.
Every move is unique and so is our support. From paperwork to finding your new favorite spot, we tailor the help you need to feel at home faster.
Experience Abruzzo like a local. We share tips on activities, events, and hidden cultural gems that help you feel connected and at home.
Ciao, I’m Viviana, the founder of Wanderlust Abruzzo.
Born in Germany to Italian parents, I moved to Abruzzo a few years ago, in search of more sunshine, a better lifestyle, and the chance to live in one of Italy’s most beautiful regions.
Even though I speak Italian, settling in wasn’t easy: new culture, endless registration hurdles, and moments of feeling lost or lonely along the way.
That’s why I started Wanderlust Abruzzo, to support other expats on this exciting but often complicated journey.
With local knowledge and personal guidance, my partner and I help you navigate the practical aspects of relocating, allowing you to focus on building your new life here.
Whether you’re planning your move or already living in Abruzzo, we make sure you have the right support at every stage.
Here’s how we’ll work together:
Fill out the contact form to tell us a bit about your plans. We’ll get back to you to schedule our free discovery call.
In a 30-minute call, we’ll get to know each other, discuss your situation, and explore how we can best support you.
After our call, we’ll create a clear, personalized plan and offer based on your needs. Simple, transparent, and made just for you.
Once we start working together, we’ll guide and support you through every step of the way. From paperwork to daily life, you’re never on your own.
Moving abroad comes with a lot of uncertainty, and we are here to make things clearer. Here are some of the most common questions about how and where we can support you.
Our services include both one-off support and full relocation packages — from property pre-selection and viewings (together or on your behalf), to handling calls and appointments with real estate agents and landlords, accompanying you to local offices or the bank, and assisting with utilities.
For legal, tax, wealth management, property surveying, repairs, or property management, we also connect you with our trusted local partners.
You can find the full breakdown on our services page.
Yes, absolutely. While EU citizens have a simpler legal path to relocating in Abruzzo, that doesn’t mean we can’t help non-EU expats too — and we’re increasingly supporting people from the US, UK, and Australia.
We handle the research, translations, calls, and coordination on your behalf, and connect you with trusted partners for anything touching legal, tax, property, or wealth management.
We help you navigate Italian bureaucracy step by step.
From assisting with filling forms to making calls and attending appointments, we provide translation and guidance so you can handle the most important documents with confidence during your relocation to Abruzzo.
Absolutely. Many of our clients start working with us while they’re still abroad — and we’d actually recommend it. Planning ahead helps you avoid the costly mistakes that tend to happen in those first steps.
We can help you prepare documents, communicate with local offices or agents, and make sure everything’s ready for your arrival.
Already here? We’re just as happy to help with one-off tasks whenever you need us.
We can support you as far as possible — mostly with translation, explanations, and research.
For legal, tax, wealth and investment matters (especially relevant for US and UK expats), or for property management, surveys, and renovations, we connect you with trusted professionals from our network.
Wanderlust Abruzzo is based in Abruzzo, and our local, on-the-ground support for your relocation is focused entirely on this region — it’s where we live and work, and what we know best.
That said, plenty of what we do (translation, guidance, preparation before your move) can happen easily online or by phone, wherever you currently are.
