Lorraine arrives in Sambuca di Sicilia, eager to find the perfect Italian home. She’s given a VIP tour by the mayor of the town who explains the process behind the one euro houses: homeowners purchase a property for one euro and put down a 5,000 euro deposit, but they need to renovate within three years or lose their money and the house. (Still sounds like a pretty sweet deal, right?)

Lorraine’s family is Sicilian, and this is her first time visiting the island. She’ll be splitting her time between Sambuca and New York throughout the renovation.

Luckily for Lorraine, she’s not alone: pals Monica Castellanos and Angie Harmon are on hand to assist with a few of the big decisions (hopefully that includes which local pizza joint to go to). She’s also enlisted an architect, Domenico, and a contractor, Piero, to help make her dream Italian home a reality.

Lorraine buys a one euro house and snags the house next door — for a cool $50K — to create the ultimate Italian getaway. The only thing left to do? Renovate both homes from the ground up. (Simple, right?)
