See inside the most-viewed homes of the month

Longing for a home right next to the beach, or a remote retreat in the countryside? Well, judging by the incredible homes that have had the most views on our site this month, you’re not the only one.

From the Sicilian apartment renovated on Amanda Holden and Alan Carr’s latest TV series, to a house perched right on the seafront, here are just some of the properties that have been captivating home-hunters.

1. A €2 apartment renovated for a BBC series

Amanda Holden and comedian Alan Carr took on the renovation of a dilapidated apartment in the Sicilian town of Salemi for their recent TV series, Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job. After buying two apartments for €1 each, the pair got to work with a mega renovation, and ‘Casa Alamanda’ is the result. It’s now for sale, with the proceeds set to be donated to UK charities.

As well as peppermint and pink bathrooms (with each one personally styled by Alan and Amanda), this sleek two-bedroom home has a Mediterranean-style courtyard, and a traditional Sicilian kitchen.
