Where is a good place to buy a house / property in Italy?

Question

What is a relaxed town in Italy I can buy an old ruined house? I like hilly places with cobbled streets and old buildings. Like breezy weather and prefer it not to be too hot to cycle. Looking for Malibu / Manhattan beach (20 years ago) type place with girls, no police sirens and reasonable property prices. If it is within 3.5 hours by train to a major city that would be better as this is a permanent move and I work as an Oracle contractor.

Italy , cheap house but spacious , no taxes ,very quiet ,12km to best beach (TROPEA), plenty of hills, 20min. to train ,40min. to airport and you can buy everything on your door . but the best of all you can live here all expenses paid for under $800 monthly purchase price of home is equivalent to  if went to buy a new caddy.

I'd look into the Marche region or maybe Umbria. they are quite close to Rome and they are not as expensive a s Tuscany. And they are BEAUTIFUL!!
