Default Furnishing a house / B&B

Hi,
We have some friends who are moving to central Italy in the next month. They are looking to furnish a substantial sized Villa and need all the kit and caboodle from kitchens to bedrooms. Does anyone know the best place to buy new or second hand furniture on the Marche Umbria borders as they want to avoid trapsing round multitudes of small shops.
Thanks

if they're on the marche/umbria border, if i were them i'd get everything including the kitchen sink on the industrial commercial estate at Perugia round ponte san giovanni you can get get everything there and there are these big inexpensive places also there.

I've done a little pruning on this to tidy it up; I've put it under the Marche forum as it seems a local question but will happily move it again if required.

Hi Nicky,

We have a place just the other side of Teramo and will aim to come along and see if you have anything that we would like (I'm sure you will). Please post or pm when you decide on whether it will be on the 7th or 8th.

I was curious as to why you were closing and a little searching found loads of really positive things about La Metta Retreat (Trip Advisor and an article in The Guardian no less) and finally I read your rather sad post on your web site. It seems that things haven't been easy for you and I was very sorry to read this. It really sucks when people do their absolute best to make a go of something they truly believe in, only to be undermined by others who either haven't got the drive, imagination or b@lls to give it a go. It's so easy to be critical and unfortunately there are plenty out there who seem to do it for a living, perhaps to make them feel better about their own sad and lonely lives.

All the best for your next venture, whatever that may be.
