Five UK celebrities move to an Italian villa to explore the food and culture of the region. First of all, they must get used to living with each other before learning how to cook some local dishes.

The celebrities visit the city of San Gimignano. Judith and Rula attract crowds in Siena as people want to have pictures taken with them.

Rula and Diana try volcanic mud to see if it holds the secret to eternal youth. Johnny and Judith have an olive oil massage. Sickness forces one of the five to leave the show.

The celebrities visit the regional capital Florence where they climb to the Duomo, create a perfume and have a sandwich.
