I'd honestly have never guessed our holidays would happen this way.
We started pretty well, as purrrfect holiday-makers. Sea, Sun, late evenings discovering the weirdest kinds of beverage!

But then after 3 days, we decided it would be a pity that we do not take the opportunity to visit houses.
So we started with that. And Gawd it took a LOT of time to visit agencies. I felt like spending my week on roads.
And yes, we visited lots of houses. Usually more expensive than what we wanted (the prices are raising so so quickly now, dat's scary!).
Our budget was between 60 000 euros up to 130 000.

In the first week, we found an old farm to be renovated... For 38 000 euros!!!!
It was really really beautiful and huge!
But then, a craftman came to give us advice and he said the farm was not to be renovated but to be RECONSTRUCTED!!!!
We got scared by the amount of work to be done on it. 2 walls had to be destroyed and rebuilt, same for the roof. A total renovation.
The price of the farm would have gone beyond 150 000 euros after the works.... eeeeeek!

So we started again with our visits... when on Friday (first week), we arrived in front of that *hobbits'house*....
(to be continued! heh)
