I'm really into this real estate Instagram account called cheapitaliandreamhomes.
If you don't follow them yet, you should.
Umbria, Tuscany, Sicily, Lake Como. You name it.
(There's also a Nordic one I'll share next week. Every single home has a sauna) If your company is going remote, this could be an option for you! And I can help you sell your Bay area property to help finance the adventure. I also have a cousin in Palermo who's an architect if remodeling a Sicilian condo is your thing. (I'm not kidding I do.) It's the little things that bring joy.
Best thing ever.
