Getting back to Sicilian roots
Family is everything to Franco and Monica Ciaravino. That's why they are buying a home in Sicily, where Franco's parents were from. The couple wants to preserve the family heritage for their 3 children, by owning a home in his familial hometown of Castellammare del Golfo. But the couple's $300,000 budget may not cover everything they hope for - a 3 bedroom with water views, in the seaside town of Castellammare. Real estate agent Stefania Russo has sobering news about property prices in their ideal locale. House hunting in Sicily requires an open mind, as the couple encounters high prices, unfinished kitchens and fixer-uppers. As Stefania offers up options, Franco and Monica must decide if connecting to their past is worth comprising their financial future - when House Hunters International returns to Sicily.
