Help! We Bought a Village
Featuring George Laing
George bought a €1 house in Mussomeli, Sicily. The purchase made a striking headline, but the work of bringing the house back to life is a much longer story.
His journey has featured on Channel 4’s Help! We Bought a Village. Here, the focus is George’s own experience: the house, the renovation and the life he is building in Sicily.
The story continues at Casa Laing.
Renovation is still underway. Explore Casa Laing for the current house details and renovation updates, with design previews clearly identified as previews rather than photographs of the finished property.
