Since meeting on a trip to Abruzzo on the east coast of Italy a year ago, Sue and Jane have become firm friends. And retired nurse Sue loved the area so much, that now she feels the time is right to find the perfect property there that she can retire to. For her £120,000 budget she’s looking for a three-bedroom detached house with a garden. Laura Hamilton has five great properties to show them but will any of them be perfect enough for Sue to call home?
