My ILs have kindly agreed to have DS (20 months) for a few days at the beginning of June so DP and I can go away. As it's only a short time (4 nights max, more likely 3) we don't want to go too far.
I want sun. We both want excellent food and wine, and peace and quiet. We're thinking Italy (have already done, and loved, Sicily and the Amalfi Coast) or Portugal, as neither of us have ever been. Can anyone suggest a resort / hotel that's not ridiculously expensive but nice, in a picturesque spot where aforementioned good food and wine will be plentiful? Somewhere without a long transfer from the airport would be good (and we're happy using public transport for that if available), and though we want peace, a town to wander into with a few bars / restaurants wouldn't go amiss. We need to fly from Stanstead, probably on a Monday / Tuesday to fit in with our dates.
Does such a holiday exist?? Thanks in advance!
