Ten strangers head to Tuscany hoping for an experience that's life-changing

Ten strangers head to Tuscany hoping for an experience that's life-changing.

In the beautiful southern Tuscan hills is La Banditaccia – a 250-acre olive and grape farm with a B&B and restaurant in the grounds of the 18th-century farmhouse.

For two months, 10 strangers will call it home as they try to live the Tuscan dream.

But will the reality of working together to run a demanding business be too much like hard work for this group of dreamers?

Each wants a new life, but for wildly varying reasons. Some are coping with grief, others ill-health and some simply desire a totally different life.

Can this motley crew live La Dolce Vita or will this Italian Job be a step too far for them?
