Further to my previous message re: furnished accomodation in Umbria. Just had another thought.

We have a beautiful house in a lovely inner suburb of Melbourne, Australia. The house has 4 - 5 bedrooms, 2 balconies, recently renovated, new kitchen, pool, large garden, lovely, sunny living space, in a private tree-lined cul de sac and close to primary and secondary schools.

We are looking to move to somewhere in Umbria or Tuscany or any region around these areas - ideally in or close by a middle sized traditional Italian village, with primary school nearby. We would really need a large house in exchange with 4 or 5 or more bedrooms and good living space.

Timing wise, we are looking to move in September of this year for a year or more depending.

I think it will be very hard to find a 4-5 bedroom house in Italy...anyway good luck!

Hi Arty, I know several years have passes since you wrote this, but was wondering if you actually did find a house swap? We are in a similar situation but would be happy with two to three bedrooms near Genova! Any assistance would be great! Thanks
