In this episode of House Hunters International, a flight attendant named Christina is looking to fulfill her lifelong dream of owning property in Italy. After years of traveling the world, she's set her sights on the region of Abruzzo, which offers beautiful beaches, charming hilltop towns, and stunning mountain landscapes.
Christina is hoping to find a three-bedroom home that's move-in ready, with plenty of outdoor space for entertaining and relaxation. She's brought along her friend, Maria, to help her navigate the local real estate market and find the perfect property.
Their first stop is a small casale, or farmhouse, nestled in the hills of the Abruzzo countryside. The property boasts stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, and has a large garden area that would be perfect for hosting friends and family. Inside, the casale is spacious and charming, with rustic finishes and traditional features like exposed wooden beams. While Christina is smitten with the property, Maria points out that it's in need of quite a bit of renovation work, which could be a turnoff for a busy flight attendant like Christina.
Their next stop is a modern, fully renovated apartment in the city of Pescara. Located just steps from the beach, the apartment offers stunning ocean views and all the amenities that a cosmopolitan city has to offer. While Christina loves the location and the layout of the apartment, she's hesitant about the lack of outdoor space and the potential for noise and overcrowding in the busy city center.
Their final stop is a sprawling villa in the mountains, surrounded by ancient olive groves and vineyards. The property is grand and luxurious, with several guest apartments, a pool, and plenty of space for entertaining. While Maria is impressed with the villa's size and amenities, she points out that it's far from the beach and the city center, which could be a drawback for someone like Christina who travels extensively and wants to be close to everything.
After weighing the pros and cons of each property, Christina is faced with a tough decision. Will she choose the rustic charm of the casale, the modern convenience of the city apartment, or the luxury of the mountain villa? Tune in to this episode of House Hunters International to find out!
