About this listen

Live your dream of Italy...

Here is your chance to buy your own home in southern Italy for less than the price of a cup of coffee. The picturesque mountain town of Montenello is selling off some of its historic buildings for just ONE EURO each. The only conditions are that purchasers must renovate their new home within the next three years and that they plan to contribute in a meaningful way to this small community.

To be considered as a future resident of Montenello contact the town's mayor, Augusto Rossi. Live your dream of Italy for just one euro.

When the Mayor of a picturesque Italian town launches a new scheme to rejuvenate the community, his advertisement is read with interest and excitement by many. Zara is in her thirties and desperate to get on the property ladder. Tim and Lynda are retiring and need a project. Some are looking for a peaceful bolthole. Others hope to make a profit, start a business, escape a dull life or an unhappy relationship. And there is someone who just might be hiding their true motivation...

Their lives are about to change forever - but can they make their dream of Italy into a reality? A deliciously escapist summer read.

I loved this book. Having been to Italy for a trip this book brought back all my memories of the quiet little villages we stayed in.... The narrator was clear and had warmth in her voice. I liked the theme of buying a house for $1 euro as this would be my dream.

Enjoyed this book only thing that annoyed me was Gino’s Italian accent. He’s born and raised in Sydney Australia so there would be no Italian accent. Apart from this really enjoyed the story.

Good
