Alan Carr and Amanda Holden rebuilt a lovely Italian villa for their BBC series, which is now on sale for £188, 160.
The Tuscan home was acquired under Italy’s €1 home plan, which aims to fight rural depopulation by attracting new residents.
Abandoned private dwellings are sold for the symbolic sum of one euro (86p), and the buyers must subsequently rehabilitate the property. They’re also urged to relocate to Italy.
The plan began in 2019 and has grown in popularity since then.According to a 2016 assessment by the environmental organisation Legambiente, approximately 2,500 rural Italian municipalities risked catastrophic population reduction and even extinction.
Moving to Italy in a stunning property that has already been remodelled by two TV icons seems like an incredible offer. ‘I fell in love with it when I saw it,’ Alan said on the show Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job, which features the couple repairing €1 Italian houses that are falling apart and in dire need of love.
‘When I went inside, I fell out of love with it’.
The 17th century townhouse, which is now known as Casa Alamanda, overlooks the mountains and river in Fornovolasco, Tuscany and can be yours for €220,000 (£188,160).
The TV couple saw the potential after entering the property, which had been vacant for a decade.
The previous owner’s furnishings and possessions remained inside. Rosa Pucci placed her passport in an old suitcase, and Alan and Amanda tracked out the local woman who formerly lived in this residence.
Rosa’s prior home had deteriorating flooring and wet walls. The house had significant structural issues, and the ceilings were drooping.
Alan and Amanda totally rebuilt the property, which appeared in the show’s inaugural season last January.
The property was entirely gutted and given a fantastic makeover with the aid of their project manager Scott Thompson and, of course, the BBC production crew while the team was filming in Tuscany during the summer.
The house now looks completely different, with a wine cellar, a fresh new kitchen including a Carrara marble breakfast island, and a fireplace. There is also a home theatre in the tower.
There are two bedrooms, both on the third level. One is an en suite with gold resin flooring, while the other offers views of the river.
The transformation has extended outside the house, with a planted garden and a terrace for the future homeowner and visitors to eat on.
All proceeds made when the house is sold will go to charity. The property is listed with Dimore Toscane and Houses in Tuscany.com.
