If you were buying a holiday home anywhere in the world - where would it be???

[soapbox]

Can be UK or overseas?

anywhere in Italy

Cape Cod, on the east coast of the US--would have to be Provincetown or Truro, I think.

Yep - cape cod would tick a few boxes - but I think beyond my budget...

Ubud, Bali, but we would need more than a house in order to go back to it often (£££)

princesspeahead, where in Greece are you looking?

spent 2 weeks in cape cod this summer (truro)... house on the beach costs about $1.5m there!

have an offer in on some land on an island in the cyclades that my mother is from (not a touristy one)

Castara, Tobago

except I bet it gets developed soon

Failing that and closer to home I guess France or Wales
TBH I prefer going on holiday to diff. places every time.

And that's exactly why i don't have a house there!

Suffolk or Norfolk I think. Easy to get to. Otherwise we'd never go.

Also fancy a beach hut in Whitstable.

Central Coast, Australia - easy to get into Sydney and good beaches and love Australia

Gulf Coast, Florida - great beaches, could get to Disney, very rentable, downside - hurricanes!

Somewhere in Devon.

Like the sound of Cape Cod, never been but would love to go.

My parents bought a plot in Greece and built too. Many years ago.

Jenkel - cape cod is lovely - definately worth a visit.

WWW - I think we would let it out when we are not using it, to fund our holidays to other places!

If supersupersonic flight ever becomes a reality I'd do both Hawaii and Mauritius. But too far otherwise!

Oh beach hut at Mudeford would be perfect too. I wanted to buy one about 13 yrs ago and dh scoffed as they were £20k - one went for £120k recently grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

You might be able to get yourself a bijou place in La Manga based on what you offered for your isle of white place. You'd have no trouble renting it when you werent using it.

isn't it just full of golfing geriatrics though?

oh I love Mudeford. £120k!!!! I wonder how much one in Sandbanks would cost then.

you can't sleep in the sandbanks ones though can you?

£120k for a beach hut!!!!!!!

I would buy my own private island in the pacific ocean

Not sure, dh would know that's where he's from.

Can I have 2? One in the Scottish Highlands and one in Italy near the coast but near lush hills as well with a terrace covered in vines with a huge table for all the family who will sit for hours enjoying my amazing cooking and wit. (Can I get those skills as well ).
