I’ll move to Italy to accept my free castle and be a hermit and caretaker, so long as it comes with a massive library I can stock with books. I think I’ve found my new life’s calling.
You could have like the summer library of detective stories, the winter library of science, the autumn library of dark eastern writers and the spring library filled with frivolous lecture without even breaking a sweat.
Easy, I’ll just wait to be contacted on a dark and stormy night by a lawyer in a fancy suit to inform me that my long lost reclusive great grandfather has passed away, and I as the sole remaining heir, have inherited his fortune along with his castle. The only catch is, of course, that in order to accept the inheritance, I must spend a full week sleeping in said castle. After that, bringing on his quirky, and mysterious staff to help me manage and run the place should be no problem. As long as I remember to NEVER set foot in the basement, I’ll be fine.
Well I’d make a good start by installing really good insulating windows throughout. Then there’s probably room and access to put solar panels on the battlements

Massive library?
Have you been to a castle 😁

How are you going to pay for the 3000€/month energy bill to keep the thing warm enough to stay reasonably mold-free, while being an hermit?
