Buy a house, renovate it and use it as a vacation home?

Depressing part is even if I’m out a quarter million, it’s still cheaper than buying a condo in LA.

Alternatively Oppo group buy?

“The plan, she adds, is to restore the town to its 16th-century heyday.”

If I may, what the Sam hell is this kind of goal?

I miss   the good old days of the Holy Roman Empire and the Hapsburg Dynasty. It just isn't the same anymore.

D oesn’t seem to be much near there - quite a ways from Palermo. Looks like mostly olives, (which I suppose is great if you really like olives...)

The idea of someone who doesn’t understand that in a great many ways, 16th century prosperity was far worse than 21st century economic stagnation.

About an hour and a half to some impressive Greek ruins:

And two of those three routes look like they could be pretty fun drives.

16th century- you could choose between being poor and dying a horrible death from infectious disease, or be nobility and die a slower death from inbreeding. Cool.

Well you could do Sicily. Or you could do Scilly or rather the Scilly Isles or Isles of Scilly , which are just off the coast of Cornwall, England.
