Ceriana, Italy

My friend James has a friend with a house in Ceriana, Italy. James' friend spends summers in this village, and has been doing so for many (?) years.

When James got back, we talked a lot about living in a small town in Italy. or any where for that matter. Could we do it? Would we like it? While he loved the town, and had a great visit, he didn't think he could live there. Sometimes I think the fantasy is much better than the reality, and I would probably agree with him. Sounds intriguing, but not sure I wouldn't get bored after a while, or even pretty quickly.
