This week's show is brought to you from Tuscany in Italy. Brian and Liz's home for the next six weeks while they housesit a superb home with a friendly little cat. I know. Quids in or what?
The thing with Italy is everyone thinks it is perfect. And it is. Of course, it is. I mean what's not to love about Italia?
The buildings are beautiful, the weather is lovely, the people are gorgeous, and the food is divine...
But what about those bloody pigeons? (why have the flying rats chosen THAT house?) And all those steps? And the fact that because the Italian restaurant owners are so strong and handsome and persuasive, you end up with an 80 euro bill when all you went in for was a bowl of olives??
Sit back and let Liz and Brian share a few things about Italy that might just surprise you...

Best Travel Insurance For Italy
There's only one travel insurance company that we will promote, and that is the one we use for every trip overseas. World Nomads is the best company out there. We've made three claims (sorry guys!), and every time the service has been faultless. Check them out here.
