A Family from Ireland looks for a Vacation Home in Calabria, Italy

House Hunters International - Season 17

Fran and Fiorina Mahon are from Ireland and live in Naas, County Kildare, which is about 18 miles from Dublin. The couple enjoys spending time with their three children, but with their two sons off in college it's a challenge to get everyone together. To solve the problem they've decided to get a vacation home where the entire family can spend quality time together. Because of Fiornia's Italian heritage they are focused on southern Italy. The couple decided on Calabria, Italy because it has great weather and some of the country's lowest priced coastal real estate. The only catch is they have never been to the area, so Fran, Fiorina and their daughter Beverly will spend four days in Calabria looking for a home and getting familiar with the region.
