Amanda Holden purchases two run-down apartments for one euro each in rural Sicily and convinces best friend Alan Carr to spend a summer renovating them into an Italian dream home.
Amanda and Alan design a traditional Sicilian walled kitchen. Kicking off the demolition in 36-degree heat proves to be a trial for Alan, and he soon realises that taking on a build in a medieval hilltop town comes with its own unique challenges.
Amanda and Alan divide and conquer as they renovate the bathrooms, but struggle to get on board with each other's vision when a bidet and disco ball spark a heated debate.
Alan takes charge of a bedroom, but doubt sets in as Amanda struggles with his vision. To nail his rustic chic look, Alan visits designer Marie at her 300-year-old palazzo.
Amanda and Alan aim to transform the courtyard into a Mediterranean oasis. Alan delves into Sicily's famous art scene, while Amanda tackles the building's damaged exterior.
Amanda aims to bring a slice of Hollywood to Sicily in the master bedroom with a banana leaf-themed boudoir design, roping in her DIY-loving dad to help build a four-poster bed.
