We don't know if the grass actually is greener on the other side, but now we can find out. Homeexchange.com connects a huge network of homeowners who can literally swap their houses during their vacations. Italy is the site's "Top Pick," offering thousands of coastal palazzos and historic apartments to card carrying exchangers. One hundred dollars a year and a willingness to offer your own home to fellow members is all you need, and the world is yours. (The home pictured here is on Lake Como and can sleep 8. Not bad!)
