Great stuff - we’ve sold up in the uk and will be living here full time - drop us a line when you’re about - best of luck with the purchase - it’s certainly an experience buying over here - much more fun than in the uk! We love Illar so far - lovely people and everything you need day to day

Hi. 

My wife and I visited and decided that it was a bit too remote and a long way to drive to civilization. A bit of a one horse town! But if it suits you good luck!

Hi Albert 

You could class as remote but the amount of apartments we viewed this is best value for money for the amount of property you get.we visited several different areas over the last year and out of season they are all one horse towns....everything closed up apart from a few restaurants ..unless you want to play bingo several nights a week or be a pub quiz king .we hope to retire and escape the cold /damp winter  and want peace and quiet scenic and rural with community and not continuous non stop music / holiday makers coming and going all summer long .....wishing you the best in finding a place.

Regards 

Trev

Hi

There's a Scotsman and an Englishwoman already living there with another couple in the process of buying. I believe the pool in this development will be up and running once everything is sold. The Mayor lives there.

It's a quiet but friendly village, which i'm looking forward to spending my retirement winters in.

I was going to mention the Irishman but thought better of it. See you in Jimmy's sometime soon.
