For English-speaking retirees, 50+

Retire to Italy, without the guesswork.

La dolce vita, well planned.

We map what moving actually means for you: visa, money, healthcare, and every step in the right order — so the process feels planned, not scary.

$49 USD · 30-minute call + short recap within two business days

What you get

Clarity on what moving means for you

The information is fragmented and the bureaucracy is real. We turn it into one focused conversation and a short recap of what to check next. A full move plan is optional, priced separately, and not included in the $49 review.

Clarity on your whole move

Use a focused 30-minute call to discuss your main move decisions and the issues to verify before you commit. Get your next steps in a short written recap within two business days.

Your whole path, mapped

An initial outline of visa, housing, healthcare, banking, and admin steps. A full written move plan is a separate service, quoted before you order.

Clear cost overview, for moving and living

Discuss the moving and living costs you need to check, including insurance and setup. The recap identifies budget questions; it is not a full town-by-town costed plan.

How it works

Three steps to a clear path

  1. Book your intro call

    Complete the guided questionnaire about your goals and moving plans, then check and email your answers. We confirm your slot and arrange payment, so the call is about your decisions, not data collection.

  2. We talk for 30 minutes

    Your situation, prepared in advance: visa route, timeline, both budgets, healthcare and the insurance landscape, in plain English.

  3. You get the recap — and the credit

    A short written recap of your route and next steps after the call. Your $49 is credited in full toward the written move plan or any package.
