They bought a tumbledown farmhouse in the heart of southern Italy. The place had no roof, no plumbing, and a family of very determined mice.

The landscape is stunning. Think rolling hills, olive groves, and sunsets that look fake. It’s the perfect backdrop for their chaotic journey. You’ll be jealous of the view, even when they’re wrestling a stubborn toilet.

Fact four: There’s a running joke about a mystery smell in the living room. It turned out to be a dead rat and Alan’s forgotten cheese sandwich. No one claims responsibility.
