Filming for the episode started in January and lasted five days.
"It was fun showing off my city," Caine said. "They didn’t have any B-roll of Naples, so I got to take them out on a boat, I got to take them out to sunsets, I got to take them to all my favorite areas of Naples."
Caine said she hopes to appear in more "House Hunters" episodes.
"It was a blast," Caine said of the show. "We had so much ... it was a surreal, fun experience."
