Anybody want to own a castle?

Italy is giving away 100 for free. You are just required to turn them into tourist type places, such as a hotel or spa.
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

No owning.  Just shortish leases.

Cheap-ass Eye-talians.

Spain is giving away entire towns.

My Wife's boss is Hungarian, and owns a 900 year old castle in Hungry.  Quite a place, and thoroughly modernized.  It's my base of operations when we go to Europe.
