The episode begins with the couple, Joan and Bill, discussing their desire to escape the fast-paced lifestyle of the United States and find a peaceful retreat in Europe.
The couple is shown viewing three different properties with the help of their real estate agent, starting with a small villa located just steps from the beach. While the views and location are appealing, the couple expresses concern over the property's small size and lack of privacy.
The second property they visit is a larger home with three bedrooms and a beautiful garden that boasts not only fruit trees but also a working vegetable garden. While the couple is initially impressed by the space and the garden, they express concern over the home's outdated design and layout.
The third and final property on the couple's tour is a spacious villa with five bedrooms and a large swimming pool. The home is located on a hilltop with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

As they tour each property, the couple weighs the potential benefits and drawbacks of each location and features, taking into account how the home would fit into their ideal vacation lifestyle.
