Ep 4. Season 6 Episode 4
A Place in the Sun Season 6 Episode 4 takes viewers on a journey to find the perfect property in the stunning Italian region of Abruzzo. This episode features a couple, Simon and Kim, who are looking for a holiday home that offers them a peaceful retreat while also being close enough to the hustle and bustle of local towns when they crave some excitement.
The episode starts with presenter Jonnie Irwin meeting Simon and Kim at Pescara airport. The couple explains that they are after a property with two or three bedrooms and some outdoor space, preferably a garden or a terrace. They also have a budget of around 150,000 euros.
The first property Jonnie takes them to see is a picturesque two-bedroom stone house nestled in the hills of the Abruzzo countryside. The house is accessed via a rough dirt road and requires a bit of renovation work, but Simon and Kim are impressed by its charm and potential. The views from the garden are breathtaking, and they can already picture themselves enjoying al fresco meals under the pergola.
The second property is a three-bedroom house situated in a quiet village. The house has already been renovated and features a spacious terrace with views of the surrounding hills. Although the property is a bit over budget, Jonnie thinks it's worth considering as there's nothing comparable in the area. Simon and Kim are once again impressed and particularly like the fact that they could easily walk to a local restaurant for dinner.
Next up is a two-bedroom apartment in the seaside town of Vasto. The apartment is located in a modern complex with a shared pool and gym. Although it's not as peaceful as the previous two properties, Simon and Kim like the fact that they could walk to the beach and have all the amenities on their doorstep. The apartment is also fully furnished, so they wouldn't have to worry about any renovation work.
The final property is a three-bedroom townhouse in the town of Sulmona. The house is spread over four levels and has plenty of character features, such as exposed stone walls and wooden beams. The terrace on the top floor offers panoramic views of the town and the surrounding mountains. Simon and Kim love the house, but the steep stairs might be a problem as they plan to use the property as a holiday home for their elderly parents as well.
After viewing all the properties, Jonnie sits down with Simon and Kim to discuss their options. They all agree that the first property has great potential but would require quite a bit of renovation work. The second property is over budget, but it's the only one that ticks all their boxes and is situated in a charming village. The third property is very practical, but it lacks the charm of the previous two. The fourth property is stunning, but the stairs might be an issue.
In the end, Simon and Kim decide to make an offer on the second property, the renovated three-bedroom house in the quiet village. They feel that it offers the best of both worlds - a peaceful retreat with stunning views and easy access to amenities. They are looking forward to spending many happy holidays there with their family and friends.
Overall, A Place in the Sun Season 6 Episode 4 is a charming and informative episode that showcases the beauty and diversity of the Abruzzo region in Italy. Whether you're a keen property hunter or simply dreaming of your next holiday destination, this episode is sure to inspire you.
