Yep. Water softener is a wonderful invention, but have you ever tried to install it in a 12th century house (the exterior walls were erected in 1174 to be exact) where the last renovation of the plumbing system was dated the year WWII ended? I have. And gave up because of the cost.
PS: The age of the house is not an abnormality. Half of the structures in many old towns Italy are probably older than my house.

I can DEFINITELY see where that would be a problem.
FYI, as a kid I lived for a time in a 400-year-old chateau in Verdun France - so yeah, I most definitely understand. Heck, we didn't even have an indoor toilet, but instead had to use an outhouse (NO fun in the winter).
Houston TX. never too cold in winters and it rains a lot.
?????? Clouds, scorches in summer. How is that perfect? Perfect is being able to be outdoors all year round with out much disburbance from weather patterns.
For me If I ever got a chance to settle some where round the globe I would say Malta. I think it is one of the best climatic places on the earth with cool and comfortable whether. By flight it takes an hour to reach Malta from Rome.
Northeast USA is perfect, 4 solid seasons,i enjoy them all.
