Escape to the Continent Season 1 Episode 8 Italy (Abruzzo)

Escape to the Continent season 1 episode 8 takes us to Italy, more specifically, the region of Abruzzo. This episode follows three couples who have decided to leave their jobs and homes in the UK to start a new life abroad.

First up, we meet Ian and Jill, who are currently living in London. They love Italy and have visited several times, but now they want to make it their permanent home. They are hoping to find a property with lots of land and potential to start a small holding.

Next, we meet Malcolm and Barabra, who are from Nottinghamshire. They are looking for a more laidback way of life in Italy and are hoping to find a property with stunning views and easy access to local amenities.

Finally, we meet David and Fiona from Cumbria. They both work in stressful jobs and are looking to escape to a quieter and more peaceful lifestyle in the Italian countryside.

The first property we are taken to is a stunning restored farmhouse with plenty of land. It seems like it would be perfect for Ian and Jill's plans to start a small holding, but they aren't quite convinced and decide to keep looking.

Next up, we see a beautiful apartment in the historic town of Sulmona. The town has plenty of amenities and Malcolm and Barbara seem very taken with it. However, the property itself is a little small for their needs.

David and Fiona are shown a traditional Italian villa with stunning views of the countryside. It seems perfect for their needs, but it is a little out of their budget. However, they decide to take a chance and put in an offer.

The next property we see is a large farmhouse with plenty of land and space for animals. Ian and Jill are very taken with it and decide that it is the perfect property for them.

Malcolm and Barbara are shown a stunning hilltop villa with breathtaking views. It is exactly what they are looking for and they decide to put in an offer.

Finally, David and Fiona's offer on the traditional Italian villa is accepted and they are thrilled to be starting their new life in Abruzzo.
