00:01For over 22 years, A Place in the Sun has been helping couples find their dream homes abroad.
00:07I'm getting a bit of a tingly feeling, isn't it?
00:10Loving it, loving it.
00:12Creating hundreds of happy households across the world.
00:15Oh, it's gorgeous, isn't it?
00:16Beautiful.
00:17Shall we do it?
00:18Look, we're all welling up here.
00:20In this series, we'll be revisiting some of them to find out what happened next.
00:25Can I get a high five?
00:26Yeah.
00:27Oh, yeah.
00:29Today, Danny Mingus is heading to the Greek island of Corfu to catch up with friends Sarah and Jo, who
00:35she enjoyed a house hunt with three years ago.
00:37Hello, ladies.
00:39So good to see you.
00:40Oh, my gosh, you too.
00:42I have been so excited to catch up with you.
00:45While down on the Costa Tropical in southern Spain, Leah Charles King is meeting up with a couple.
00:50She helped find a magnificent holiday home with a stunning sea view.
00:55You know what?
00:55First of all, thank you for bringing me back here.
00:58You're very welcome.
00:58One of my favourite places of all time, Celebregna.
01:02Yeah.
01:02You fell in love with it.
01:03You did.
01:03I fell in love with it because of you.
01:05How can you not?
01:06Seriously.
01:15There are worse ways to spend your time than strolling along the stunning coastline of Corfu.
01:20I can see why Sarah and her lifelong friend, Joe, were so drawn to this idyllic island.
01:26And when I went house hunting to find Sarah and her family the perfect holiday home, well, there were a
01:32few twists and turns along the way.
01:35Corfu is one of the largest and most northern Greek islands positioned in the Ionian Sea between Greece, Italy and
01:42Albania, just over a three-hour flight from the U.K.
01:47Green and leafy with a spectacular mountain backdrop, the north of the island has a relaxed vibe, while the south
01:54is more popular with tourists.
01:56Traditional villages and small resorts dot the coastline around its perfect mix of long sandy stretches of beach and more
02:04secluded coves, all lapped by crystal clear water that you can't help but dive into.
02:10Back in 2021, Sarah was the one taking the plunge as she was looking to buy a holiday home for
02:16herself, her husband, Mark, and their grown-up children.
02:19As Mark was busy working, Sarah's best friend of 45 years, Joe, came along to help spend the budget of
02:26up to £180,000.
02:28And we started with a chat on the beach.
02:31Have you got a clear idea of what it is that you're after?
02:33Yeah, yeah, I have got it in my head, a kind of traditional style, but inside, modern.
02:40If it needs work, that's absolutely fine, I'm more than happy to do that, and really lovely outside space, that's
02:46really important.
02:47Sarah also wanted two to three bedrooms, a garden for green-fingered Mark, and an annex or outhouse to rent
02:53out.
02:54We started a ten-minute drive from the coast in one of the island's most picturesque villages, Ducades, with this
03:00hilltop house bursting with potential.
03:04Come on in.
03:06What do you think when you're looking round?
03:08My initial thoughts is it's really small, right? OK.
03:13Yeah.
03:14I think it's quite dark as well.
03:15And out on the terrace...
03:17Outside space isn't working, it's not big enough, there's not enough green.
03:23OK.
03:24You'd basically want to rip it all up, and I'm just feeling it's a lot of work for a house
03:30that you're not loving anyway.
03:32So that was a long way from a good start.
03:34I felt I needed to try something with a bit more Greek charm, so we headed closer to the coast
03:39to the village of Kavardades,
03:41to view this house with a couple more bedrooms than our last.
03:46Right, here we are.
03:47Oh, I think we might be cooking on gas here. What do you think?
03:52Yeah, it's gorgeous. It's really pretty.
03:54It's cute, isn't it?
03:55And all of this space.
03:57Exactly.
03:58And we've got lemon trees, orange trees.
04:00Oh, gosh, yes.
04:01Two lemon trees.
04:02You make your own jams.
04:03She is a jam maker.
04:05Well, I was thinking more gin and tonics, but whatever.
04:07She does that as well.
04:10So we're feeling a bit better at this one, I'm getting that vibe.
04:13This is Knox property number one into a tin can. This is amazing, I think.
04:18And the good vibes continued inside with the bright living room, spacious kitchen and bedrooms with balcony access and views.
04:26And once they'd seen it all...
04:27So much potential.
04:29Yeah.
04:29Ticked a lot of your boxes.
04:30Yeah.
04:31It's got a nice feel up there, doesn't it?
04:33I love the little balcony that goes round and the views from there are just amazing.
04:38Good.
04:38So it's all sounding quite positive.
04:40Yes.
04:41Would you say that this one's in the running?
04:44I think so.
04:45I think so.
04:46I've got something lined up next now that I'm starting to get an idea of what you like, but it
04:51is a bit of a project.
04:52How do you feel about that?
04:53That sounds brilliant.
04:55Yeah?
04:55Yeah.
04:55Absolutely up for that.
04:56Definitely up for that.
04:58Let's do it.
04:58Let's go and have a look.
05:01I love a project.
05:03It was in the village of Villanades and in the form of this house with a small olive grove that
05:09had three bedrooms as well as an outbuilding stroke pool house.
05:15If you'd ask me to describe my dream, property in Corfu, I'm looking at it.
05:22That is my heart.
05:23That is my heart speaking.
05:25I can hear my head and my husband going, what the heck?
05:32I love it.
05:32This looks really, really exciting.
05:35And things only got better.
05:38Great space.
05:40Isn't it?
05:40Yeah.
05:41These would polish up beautifully.
05:43Yeah.
05:43So that's one very expensive thing off the list, which is quite good.
05:47So what would Mark say right now?
05:49I think he might say, Chuffin Norris there.
05:54What have you done now?
05:58Even the potential pool house got a thumbs up.
06:02All right, girls.
06:06Wow.
06:07Oh, absolutely lovely.
06:10God, you could do so much.
06:11Look at the beams.
06:13You could do so much with this.
06:15You're not wrong.
06:16I know.
06:17And once they'd seen it all, we had ourselves a super strong contender.
06:22Something was telling me Sarah and Joe had fallen in love.
06:25Although they asked me if I could show them something ready to go and closer to the coast
06:29to compare.
06:30So we headed to the village of Agios Stephanos to view this modern bungalow with two bedrooms.
06:36But it didn't stand a chance.
06:39We both fell in love with the Olive Tree property.
06:42Right.
06:42And Joe wants to come in on it with me.
06:45So the both of you.
06:46We are thinking that because our family is very close, Sarah has the bigger house and I might
06:55take the pool house.
06:57No.
06:58That's amazing.
06:59Both got the same vision.
07:01Our husbands are on the same page with us as well.
07:03And we just think we could make that something absolutely amazing.
07:06So have you had a quick chat with the hubbies about this already?
07:08Yeah.
07:09This is like every little girl's dream.
07:11When I grow up, I'm going to buy a really nice house with my best friend.
07:14We're going to make it amazing and have lots of parties.
07:16Love it.
07:17I certainly hadn't seen that one coming.
07:20And while I was super pleased they loved that place so much, I still had one more property
07:24to show.
07:25It was this rather impressive villa in the village of Ashurabi with an outhouse and some pretty
07:31gardens.
07:32I think I could have shown Sarah and Joe Buckingham Palace at this point and it wouldn't
07:37have made a difference.
07:38Their hearts were already taken.
07:40So I sent them off to chat things through and the next morning.
07:44So what we're going to do is we're staying on for a few days.
07:47Right.
07:48And we're going to meet a lawyer who's going to talk us through the legalities of how we
07:53can actually buy the properties together but they are actually separately owned.
07:59So in the event of us needing or wanting to sell in the future, it would be a clean sale
08:04with no surprises.
08:05I think what you're doing is absolutely the most sensible thing as well.
08:09Because having everything in writing done properly just so that things are really straightforward
08:13in the future seems like the absolutely right way to go about it.
08:17And so are the husbands going to come out before you go for it or are you just going to
08:21go
08:21for it once you know how it's going to work on paper?
08:23If legally it's pretty straightforward, we just go for it.
08:26Yes, love it girls.
08:28Why not?
08:28Here's to Bezzy Mates.
08:30Here's to Bezzy Mates.
08:31Cheers.
08:31Cheers, girls.
08:33And not long after that, with all the paperwork in place, they made an offer together and it
08:37was accepted.
08:38I knew they'd make it happen and I was over the moon.
08:46And three years on, I'm back on the sunny shores of Corfu.
08:50I think this is going to be the biggest renovation I've seen on the show and I cannot wait to
08:55catch
08:55up with them.
09:00Hello, ladies.
09:01Hi.
09:01So good to see you.
09:03Oh my God, you too.
09:04I have been so excited to catch up with you.
09:07How's it all going?
09:09I can't believe it's been three years.
09:10Honestly, nor can we, but what we've done in that three years.
09:13It's been a journey.
09:15It's been a journey.
09:16And you're still friends?
09:17Just about.
09:18That was a big curveball on the show that we did, wasn't it?
09:21I can actually say hand on heart.
09:23I don't think we've fallen out once.
09:25That's amazing.
09:27I'm absolutely buzzing to see it.
09:28Let's go and have a look then.
09:29There, let's go.
09:30Let's show you.
09:32Coming up, this is going to be so exciting.
09:36Right, OK, stop.
09:39Oh, my gosh.
09:42Wow.
09:50Today, I'm on the Greek island of Corfu, catching up with friends Sarah and Joe, who three years
09:55ago while house hunting for a holiday home for Sarah and her family, ended up buying a place
10:00together, with Joe taking the pool house and Sarah the main one.
10:04Both properties needed a complete overhaul, but the excitement Sarah and Joe had for this
10:10project was so infectious.
10:12I really can't wait to see the transformation.
10:16Keep your eyes closed.
10:18Keep going.
10:19Right, OK, stop.
10:23Oh, my gosh.
10:26Wow.
10:27Girls, you have been busy.
10:30It looks absolutely phenomenal.
10:33Oh, gosh, I'm a little bit lost for words.
10:35Do you remember what it was like?
10:36It was falling down.
10:37Yes.
10:38I mean, none of it was livable.
10:39Awful.
10:39And this was just a shell.
10:41It was literally a barn.
10:42Yeah.
10:42We actually ended up doing new roofs, new outside, new insulation, new windows.
10:48Did we tell you that my son and his wife ended up buying the annex?
10:52What?
10:52Oh, right, OK.
10:53So, yeah.
10:55That freed up more budget.
10:56So that enabled us to actually literally go to town.
11:00This is absolutely amazing, guys.
11:02Have you had some time to enjoy the property?
11:04Well, we've actually now turned it into a business, so it's out for rent.
11:08Oh.
11:09So we have been renting it out really successfully this summer.
11:13Do you know what?
11:13This will work so well for so many families.
11:15Absolutely.
11:16You know, like, you want to be together, but you don't want to be on top of each other.
11:18You've got your own space.
11:19So how many people, max, could you rent this to?
11:21So ten people, actually, in the bed comfortably.
11:25Yeah.
11:25And then, max, two people on the sofa bed, two children.
11:29Loving what you've done out here, girls.
11:32Desperate to see what you've done on the inside.
11:33Do you want to start in the house?
11:34Absolutely.
11:35Lead the way.
11:36OK, come on.
11:37OK, Dan, come and see what we've done.
11:40Wow.
11:41What a difference three years makes.
11:44Just a bit.
11:45Just a bit.
11:46This is beautiful.
11:47So the floors are the same original flooring.
11:50Yes, we were so lucky with the floors.
11:53The original marble floors all through the house and outside.
11:57Yeah.
11:57So when we came here with Spiros, our builder, he was like, wow, they are, you know, priceless, really.
12:02It's lovely.
12:03I think what you've done is beautiful.
12:04I love your taste.
12:05Things like this, just gorgeous.
12:08Where we can, we've gone to local people.
12:10So this was made by a lovely Olivewood guy up the road.
12:13So we've mixed and matched, you know, with practical stuff.
12:16And it's gone for quite modern vibe.
12:19But, you know, the lamps are this fantastic guy in Corfu town.
12:24We've had to stop buying lamps from him because there's quite a lot.
12:27No, I can totally see why.
12:30That is so cute.
12:31Yeah.
12:31That must have been really fun, picking out bits to wear this.
12:34Massive fun.
12:35Yeah, it's like Christmas.
12:37All right, where are we heading next?
12:38Um, upstairs?
12:39Yes, please.
12:40OK, follow me.
12:40After you.
12:46This is the guest bedroom.
12:48Oh, your taste is fab.
12:50I love that you've just kept it really nice and simple.
12:52It feels quite Scandi vibes.
12:55I think that's what we wanted.
12:56Yeah, really nice.
12:57It's absolutely gorgeous, girls.
12:59It really, really is.
13:00I, um, oh, I'm just loving it.
13:03I really am.
13:04All right, where are we heading next?
13:06Uh, do you want to go outside onto the balcony?
13:08It's actually one of my favourite places in the whole build.
13:11Is it?
13:11So I'd love you to see it, yeah.
13:12Let's do it.
13:15Right, Dani, here's the balcony.
13:18Oh, gorgeous.
13:19And you've got the views.
13:21Yeah.
13:21All around, 360.
13:23Oh, yeah, I can see why this is your favourite spot.
13:26You've got...
13:26So peaceful.
13:28I sit there with a coffee or a tea or a glass of wine or a gin and tonic or
13:32whatever.
13:33Very nice.
13:34So we've had a bit of an Aussie around here and I'm desperate to see what's happened over
13:37the road because that hadn't even been lived in before.
13:39So I'm really keen to see what you've created.
13:41OK, let's go.
13:43All right.
13:44After you girls.
13:45Wow.
13:47What an amazing job they have done here.
13:49It is absolutely stunning.
13:51And all I can really say is I can't wait to book my holiday.
13:56Right.
13:56Come in.
13:57Wow.
13:58It's absolutely beautiful.
13:59And I love that you kept the mezzanine.
14:01Because it's still got that kind of like barn feel, doesn't it?
14:05Yeah.
14:05And a whole new roof here as well.
14:07A whole new roof, which I absolutely love.
14:10And it makes it very light.
14:11And it goes through into the kitchen and out onto the terrace.
14:14It just brightens everything up.
14:15Was the tree there before?
14:17No, the tree was the builder's kind of...
14:20He went off on his own journey.
14:21It's there to support the railing and the roof.
14:23So, yeah, it all goes really well.
14:25Love that.
14:26That's so, so fabulous.
14:27Great feature.
14:28Now, I'm really keen to see what you've done
14:29with what we called the Granny Annex, because...
14:32That was somewhere you would never put your Granny in.
14:35Oh, my gosh.
14:40Great.
14:41Here we are.
14:43The Granny Annex.
14:44Oh, that's better.
14:47Isn't it?
14:47Just a bit.
14:48Wow.
14:49Understatement of the century.
14:51Would you put your Granny in here now?
14:52My Granny would love it.
14:53So, how's it working for your son and his growing family?
14:57Yeah, it's really lovely.
14:58So, he's got two children, Atticus and Annie.
15:01And so, it's lovely for them.
15:03So, last year, Atticus's birthday is September.
15:05So, we were all out in September.
15:07He had a pool party for his third birthday.
15:10And what we envisaged, you know,
15:12he'll probably be having his 30th birthday party here.
15:14So, it's just lovely.
15:16It's really nice for our children and then their children.
15:19Yeah.
15:20And so, it goes on.
15:20What a lovely thing to be able to sort of provide
15:23for your growing families, you know.
15:25Well, I'm so glad that you've got to the point
15:27where now you can relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
15:31It's been a hard road, but well, well worth it.
15:34So, would you like to do that?
15:35Would you like to come and have a drink with us by the pool?
15:37You don't need to ask me, Tom.
15:39Great.
15:39And we might be being joined by Mark,
15:41who's just on his way back from the shops.
15:43Mark's here.
15:44I got to meet the famous Mark, finally.
15:46Yeah.
15:46Sounds good, girls.
15:47Love that.
15:47Okay, come on, let's go.
15:50What a transformation.
15:52It is great to see that vision Sarah and Joe had
15:54has come to fruition.
15:56Time to meet another cog in this holiday home building machine.
16:00Hi.
16:00So good to meet you, Mark.
16:02Pleased to meet you.
16:02The most trusting husband on the planet.
16:05Nice to meet you at last.
16:06So lovely to meet you.
16:09How did you feel letting the girls go on the search together
16:13without you?
16:14Very happy.
16:15Really?
16:15Yeah, but we knew what we wanted.
16:18We had something in the back of our minds
16:20and this was it.
16:22When Sarah called you and said
16:24that Joe was going to get on the property,
16:25what were your thoughts there?
16:27Go on.
16:28Fantastic.
16:29The right answer.
16:31No, I'm not taking the mic.
16:34Seriously, if we wanted anybody to come on board,
16:37it would have been Joe,
16:38because that was the first thought
16:39when I couldn't make it in the first instance.
16:41Because Joe was,
16:43you didn't hesitate really, did you?
16:45And the idea, it just fell into,
16:47everything then fell into place
16:49with our son coming on board as well.
16:52Yeah.
16:52So we ended up getting three properties in one,
16:55essentially.
16:56Yes.
16:57Three different owners.
16:58How have you worked that out?
17:00Is there separate deeds,
17:02the grounds around your property?
17:03Yeah, so basically we have like a metre
17:05around the perimeter of each property,
17:09which is ours privately,
17:10but then the communal area is communal to all three.
17:15A bit like an apartment.
17:16You have your gardens and your communal pool
17:19and all that in an apartment.
17:20So that's the way it worked out.
17:23Yeah, so it was relatively straightforward.
17:26If I remember right,
17:27you got the property for just over £140,000,
17:30is that right?
17:31Yeah.
17:31Yeah.
17:32I'm going to guess you spent a fair old whack on it
17:34and you've had it valued since then?
17:37We did have a valuation from an agent
17:40and he put it at around £750,000.
17:44So we have more than doubled our investment.
17:47Love that.
17:48Does that not make you feel quite good?
17:50Because you're like,
17:50yes, I've got good taste.
17:52We did a good job.
17:53When you don't sound too smug,
17:54it's more of a relief if you want it.
17:56Yeah.
17:56It makes sense though,
17:58because if you think about how this looked
17:59when you got it,
18:00and how it looks now,
18:02I mean, it's a world apart,
18:03an absolute world apart.
18:05Yeah.
18:05What do you rent it out for?
18:07Because obviously I'm very interested.
18:09But so let's say high season.
18:11It's around £5,000 a week high season
18:14down to about £2,200 in low season
18:16and then in the middle.
18:18Yeah.
18:19Perfect.
18:20So that makes, you know,
18:21your running costs are well covered.
18:23You know, it's great to have that return
18:24on the property.
18:26And I mean, you must be really proud.
18:28When you look around,
18:28you must be really proud
18:29at what you've created.
18:30I still wake up
18:31and I go on my balcony in the morning
18:33and I sit there,
18:33I go,
18:34I can't believe this is ours.
18:36It's really like,
18:37wow.
18:38It's fabulous.
18:39It is.
18:40It's even nicer than I imagined it would be.
18:42Thank you.
18:42So you've absolutely nailed it.
18:44We were very,
18:45very lucky that we got a great team behind us.
18:47I think that's why the process
18:48over the last three years
18:49has been so smooth.
18:51The builder was great.
18:54Very communicative.
18:55Sent us photographs.
18:56Kept us informed the whole way,
18:58the whole process.
18:59And, you know,
19:00the builder gave us lots of options,
19:02you know,
19:02high, medium, low.
19:04And with the extra budget,
19:05we did end up going high end
19:07with everything.
19:08Totally worth it in my opinion.
19:09Absolutely, yeah.
19:10Stunning.
19:10Well done team.
19:11Thank you.
19:12Love it.
19:12Thank you.
19:13Love it.
19:13So now that you've got everything finished off,
19:15you can relax,
19:16enjoy it with your friends
19:17and family.
19:18What do you like to get up to
19:19in your downtime?
19:21Lots of exploring
19:22because we didn't know
19:23it's part of the island.
19:24Our sort of latest,
19:25what we're quite excited about
19:26is my daughter was out here recently
19:27and she went on a boat
19:29to a beautiful little bay
19:30called Porto de Mani.
19:32Oh, nice.
19:32And we are,
19:33well, we're planning on going today
19:34if you want to join us.
19:35Oh, yeah.
19:36I'd love to.
19:37Are you coming too, Mark?
19:38I'm going to dip out of this one.
19:40Are you?
19:40Yeah, yeah.
19:41It's a girl's boat trip.
19:42It's a girl's boat trip, yeah.
19:43All right.
19:44Well, I'm so glad
19:45that I finally got to meet you.
19:46Cheers.
19:48Likewise.
19:49Cheers.
19:50We can go wild now, girls.
19:55Porto de Mani
19:56is actually two beaches
19:57back to back,
19:58separated by a walkway
20:00and only accessible
20:01via a 30-minute hike
20:02or boat.
20:04Boat definitely sounds more fun
20:06and at this speed,
20:07it won't take long.
20:13This is just beautiful.
20:15Look at that view
20:16with the rocks
20:17that they've got behind.
20:18Yeah, it is fantastic.
20:21And just the whole
20:22of the greenery
20:23and the rocks,
20:24the terrain is fantastic.
20:26Beautiful.
20:29Oh, wow, love it.
20:30Bye-bye, see you soon.
20:32And after disembarking
20:33rather elegantly,
20:34we found ourselves
20:35a lovely spot
20:36on the calmer
20:36of the two beaches.
20:38There we go.
20:40Do you want us to...
20:41That was definitely worth
20:42the bumpy ride
20:43because this is glorious.
20:45Isn't it just?
20:46Sublime to the ridiculous.
20:47Beautiful.
20:48How nice is it
20:48to be able to do
20:49something like this
20:50with your best mate?
20:51It's beyond kind of anything
20:53that you could imagine.
20:54This is just great.
20:55It's just so much fun.
20:56We're just having
20:56so much fun.
20:58What I love about this
20:59is buying a property
21:00with your busy mate
21:01is like an adventure
21:03in itself
21:03and then all the family
21:04getting involved
21:05and then actually
21:06doing the renovation
21:07and now it's like
21:08another adventure
21:09is starting
21:10because now you can
21:11actually enjoy the island.
21:12Yes.
21:12And we haven't done
21:13much of that
21:13because over the last
21:14three years,
21:15every time we've been here,
21:17we've been great.
21:18We can tell you
21:19about every DIY shop.
21:20We've found some
21:21absolute treasures.
21:22We've kissed some frogs
21:23and now we know
21:24exactly where we need
21:25to go for X, Y and Z.
21:27So we are the go-to
21:29core food DIY queens,
21:31aren't we?
21:31We might not be able
21:32to do it,
21:32but we can tell you
21:33where to buy it.
21:33We don't do it,
21:33but we're very good
21:34at buying it
21:34and then getting someone
21:35else to do it for us.
21:37Love that.
21:37So if someone was thinking
21:39about doing what
21:39you've just done
21:40with their best friend,
21:41would you have
21:42any words of advice?
21:44Good communication.
21:46We knew that,
21:47you know,
21:48a project like this
21:48could be bumpy.
21:49There's money involved.
21:51You know,
21:51people fall out,
21:52families fall out
21:52over money.
21:53But because I trust Jo
21:56100% with everything
21:58and she does with me
21:59because we're more
22:00like sisters
22:01than best friends.
22:02Yeah.
22:03I think that's what's
22:04made it so,
22:05I won't say easy,
22:06but so good.
22:07Do you know what?
22:08I'm so glad that I got
22:09to come back
22:10and see you both
22:10and see what you've
22:11done with that property
22:12because it is phenomenal.
22:14I will be booking
22:15a week at some point.
22:17We will love to see you.
22:18100%.
22:19Please do.
22:20It's amazing
22:20what you've done
22:21and I know
22:22that you're really proud
22:23of what you've achieved
22:24and it is beautiful.
22:25Thank you.
22:26All right.
22:26Shall we get on that boat?
22:27I'm going to give them a wave.
22:28Yeah.
22:29That's great.
22:44It was so good
22:46catching up
22:46with Sarah and Jo
22:47and wow,
22:48what a transformation
22:49on all of their properties.
22:51They really do
22:52have a beautiful friendship
22:54and now they've got
22:55a beautiful holiday home
22:56to enjoy
22:57with all their families.
23:00Coming up,
23:01we're heading to
23:01Sala Bruna,
23:02a gorgeously traditional town
23:04on the Costa Tropical
23:05in southern Spain
23:06where Leah Charles-King
23:08is catching up
23:09with a couple
23:09she helped find
23:10a stunning holiday home
23:11with a sea view
23:12nearly three years ago.
23:15So whenever I think
23:16of you guys,
23:17I'm going to think
23:17of Gareth and his man
23:18and I'm going to think
23:19of Hannah
23:20sat here
23:20reading one of her books,
23:22having a drink,
23:23looking at the bees.
23:24Good and the view.
23:24So nice.
23:35Sat here
23:36overlooking
23:37stunning
23:38Sala Bruna
23:39on Spain's
23:40Costa Tropical
23:41is like a dream
23:42come true.
23:43No wonder
23:43Hannah and Gareth
23:44wanted to find
23:45their own oasis
23:46here
23:47when I went
23:47house hunting
23:48with them
23:49to find their
23:50perfect holiday home.
23:54It's around
23:55a three-hour flight
23:57from the UK
23:57into Malaga Airport
23:58and then
23:59Sala Bruna
24:00is about
24:00an hour's drive
24:01east from there.
24:03And this is
24:04a rather dramatic
24:05stretch of coastline
24:06with the Sierra Nevada
24:07mountains
24:07as a backdrop
24:08running right
24:09down to the sea
24:10where this area
24:11has a number
24:12of stunning beaches.
24:13At its heart
24:14is the town
24:15of Sala Bruna
24:16packed with
24:17rich architectural
24:18heritage
24:18alongside everything
24:20you'd expect
24:20but perhaps
24:21a more traditional
24:22vibe than
24:23other nearby
24:24holiday locations
24:25with its
24:2610th century
24:26castle
24:27and whitewashed
24:28houses.
24:29Back in 2021
24:30after nearly
24:3110 years
24:31of visiting
24:32the town
24:32Gareth and
24:33Hannah
24:34whose mum
24:34already lived
24:35in the area
24:36were looking
24:36for a traditional
24:37two-bed place
24:38to enjoy holidays
24:39for their budget
24:40of up to
24:41£160,000.
24:43The perfect
24:44place.
24:45What does it
24:46look like?
24:47In my mind's eye
24:48it doesn't look
24:48like anything
24:49other than the fact
24:50it's got a nice
24:51big outside space
24:52whether that be
24:53a roof terrace
24:53or a sun terrace.
24:56I love to be warm
24:57but I don't always
24:58like to be in the sun
24:59so somewhere
24:59that we can have
24:59a shade
25:00somewhere that we
25:01can cook
25:02somewhere that we
25:03can eat
25:03relax.
25:06With a workshop
25:07come man cave
25:08for Gareth
25:08and sea views
25:09for Hannah
25:10also fairly high
25:11on the list
25:12we set off
25:12to find the
25:13perfect place
25:14and started
25:14in the
25:15Albicene
25:15neighbourhood
25:16of Celebrenia's
25:17old town
25:18with this bungalow
25:19right next to
25:20the castle.
25:21What's your
25:22best impression?
25:23Looks good
25:24it looks old
25:25it looks whitewashed
25:26it looks like
25:27it's got a really
25:28good roof terrace
25:29I love all the
25:29different levels
25:30all the houses
25:31in different positions
25:32all the planting
25:33it's so nice
25:34absolutely gorgeous.
25:35So is this the
25:36kind of vision
25:36that you had
25:37when you're thinking
25:38of your life
25:38in Celebrenia?
25:39Yeah absolutely
25:39little cobbled
25:40streets
25:41perfect
25:42and the good
25:43vibes continued
25:44as we looked
25:44around the
25:45open plan
25:46living space
25:46and two
25:47bedrooms
25:47but it was
25:48the terrace
25:49that I knew
25:49these two
25:50would be most
25:51interested in
25:51oh my goodness
25:53wow that's
25:53amazing isn't it
25:54I could spend
25:55a long time
25:56just sitting there
25:56looking out to see
25:58there isn't
25:59going to be
25:59another house
25:59in Celebrenia
26:01that we can
26:01afford with a view
26:02like that
26:02we don't think
26:04we don't think
26:05that's your challenge
26:07it certainly is
26:08it's really set
26:09a benchmark
26:11that was a near
26:13perfect start
26:13although Gareth
26:14and Hannah
26:15did say
26:15they'd have
26:16light a touch
26:17more space
26:17inside
26:18I had just
26:19the place
26:20in the La Loma
26:21area at the
26:22lower end
26:22of the old town
26:23this more
26:24modern house
26:25with three bedrooms
26:26and a bigger
26:27living space
26:27come on in
26:29fully equipped
26:30kitchen in there
26:31and then you've
26:32got your living
26:33dining space
26:34I like that
26:35it's really
26:36interesting
26:36a really good
26:38blank open
26:39space
26:39already it feels
26:40so much bigger
26:41than the previous
26:42one
26:43yeah it does
26:44with a covered
26:45terrace
26:46two open ones
26:47and two balconies
26:48there was plenty
26:49of outside space
26:50the sea view
26:51that you dream of
26:52yeah
26:53the one we weren't
26:54expecting
26:54no
26:55I thought that was
26:55going to be the
26:56hatch
26:56we thought that was
26:57going to be the
26:57compromise
26:58oh nice
26:59I like to surprise you
27:01keep you on your toes
27:02you've certainly done that
27:05and once they'd seen
27:06the large bedrooms
27:07and the garage
27:07for Gareth's man cave
27:09come workshop
27:09die five tomorrow
27:11wow so this is a
27:13contender for you
27:14then
27:14the contender
27:15the contender
27:16this is the one
27:17to beat
27:17it is indeed
27:18I don't think
27:19either of us thought
27:20you would find
27:22something so perfect
27:23I love that
27:24I think it's the
27:25garage that's done it
27:27I was going to ask
27:28actually Gareth
27:29how was the garage
27:30the garage was fantastic
27:31it was a man cave
27:33and more
27:35our next option
27:36was closer to the coast
27:37in the Las Fuentes
27:38area of Salabrenia
27:40this townhouse
27:41with views
27:42had four bedrooms
27:43and two terraces
27:44both with a great view
27:45however it didn't seem
27:47to get Gareth
27:47and Hannah that excited
27:49and went down
27:50as just a maybe
27:51I decided it was time
27:52to leave Salabrenia
27:53and head into
27:55the neighbouring village
27:56of La Caleta
27:56to view a house
27:57with two bedrooms
27:58a nice little garden
28:00area and a terrace
28:01they had a look around
28:02on their own
28:03and when we met up
28:04at the end
28:05yeah it's definitely
28:06up there
28:07yeah you've obviously
28:08given us another
28:09thing to think about
28:10well you know
28:10what I want to ask
28:11is it a contender
28:14yes
28:16really
28:16yeah
28:17I think we've
28:18ruled everything else out
28:19okay
28:20so I think it's
28:21the three bedrooms
28:22and the garage
28:23yep
28:23and this one
28:24two completely
28:26different houses
28:29my final property
28:30was back in the
28:31old town of Salabrenia
28:32this time
28:33in the Elbracal
28:34neighbourhood
28:35it was huge
28:36with a spacious
28:37basement
28:37and three bedrooms
28:38but as with
28:39everything we'd seen
28:40it was the terrace
28:42well one of two
28:43that really excited
28:44Gareth and Hannah
28:46oh wow
28:51gosh

29:03with three contenders
29:04at the end of the day
29:05and when we sat down

34:22yeah good for you
34:23we'll venture up

34:26I'm impressed with this
34:27so Gareth
34:27fantastic
34:28good job
34:31okay
34:32into the lounge
34:33the layout wasn't like this
34:35was it
34:35no no no
34:36we've changed things
34:37obviously because we've moved
34:38a lot downstairs
34:38but even when we've had
34:40a house full
34:41the table extends
34:42and we can move things around
34:43and it's working isn't it
34:46it is yeah
34:46we like it
34:47and we um
34:47brought nearly everything
34:49sadly from
34:50from our old home
34:51in the UK
34:52that's not sadly
34:53that's really thrifty
34:54that's good
34:55well it is
34:55and it's
34:56which is why
34:56sort of the minute
34:57we had it all in here
34:58it felt like home
34:59so we bought new sofas
35:00certainly as a guest
35:02it feels homely
35:03it's very welcoming
35:04so you've done a great job
35:05yeah you've done a great job
35:06really good
35:07well do you want to go up
35:08and see the next bit
35:09yes please

35:22to come and sit
35:23and look at the beautiful view
35:24oh the views
35:26are incredible here
35:27and that was what was so beautiful
35:29about this place
35:29and partly why you fell in love
35:31with it wasn't it
35:31because you were like
35:32we don't really want a modern place
35:34we want someone
35:34that's very traditional
35:35and then you chose
35:36the only modern place
35:38that I chose
35:39but it was because
35:40you've got all these views
35:41as well
35:42the sea right there
35:43yeah yeah yeah
35:43so whenever I think of you guys
35:45I'm going to think of
35:46Gareth and his man
35:46and I'm going to think of

37:07is going to be joining us

37:18I like living in the warm
37:19but having Hannah here is lovely
37:21have you ever stayed overnight here

37:24a couple of times
37:25yeah
37:25it's nice isn't it
37:26it's lovely
37:27I just have a bit of a problem with all the stairs
37:30too many stairs
37:31too many stairs
37:32quite a few stairs
37:33yeah
37:33yeah
37:34I could imagine
37:35but
37:35there is that lower room
37:37downstairs
37:37that's where
37:38you said that's where you hang out
37:40yeah
37:40and she has a little terrace off the back
37:42so she can still get a view of the mountains
37:44that's right
37:44yes
37:44there's a little terrace there
37:46yeah
37:46I'm sorry if it's a little rustic looking
37:48oh it's perfect
37:50we have here
37:50albondigas
37:52con
37:53tomate
37:54that's meatballs in tomato sauce
37:56for the non-spanish speakers out there
37:58it smells delicious
38:00thank you darling
38:01can we help yourselves to bread
38:02oh wonderful
38:04and forks
38:04so we've got local herbs and spices in these
38:07when you say local
38:09very local
38:10very local
38:11from our herb rack
38:13mmm
38:14well done
38:15really this is really good
38:17good
38:17really lovely
38:19it's the sauce
38:20Hannah made the sauce
38:20really really lovely
38:21so remind me
38:22how much did you get this place for in the end
38:24I think it was about a hundred
38:27well our top limit
38:28was 140
38:29and I think we got
38:29some change
38:31so we've got 500 pounds
38:32yeah
38:33so 139,500
38:34worth every penny
38:36yeah
38:37yeah
38:37I think so
38:38there's a detached house
38:39just on our road
38:41and other than detached
38:43it's no bigger
38:43it's only three bedrooms
38:44that's on for
38:45290,000 euros
38:47so that's about
38:48250,000 pounds
38:50yeah
38:50something around that
38:51that's a massive difference
38:52yeah
38:53wow
38:54how much would you say
38:55you've spent
38:55on it since moving in
38:57well we've not had anybody
38:59into doing any work
38:59so that's sometimes
39:00that's sometimes a big cost
39:02but I would say
39:02if we include
39:04furniture
39:05which has been a big expense
39:06less than
39:087,000 euros
39:10oh yeah
39:10that's great
39:11to pretty much
39:12everything that you've done
39:13so far
39:14and buying
39:14the bits that you've needed
39:16our future plans are
39:17to take out
39:17the very small baths
39:19and put in big
39:20walk-in showers
39:20oh good idea
39:21yeah
39:22so that's something
39:22that's in the future
39:24that's on our radar
39:25are you going to get rid
39:26of the pink and blue tiles
39:28we may get rid of
39:29some of the pink and blue
39:30the pink's grown on me
39:32that's it
39:33oh the yellow kitchen's
39:34grown on us
39:34dreadful
39:35I love the yellow kitchen
39:37I have to say
39:37don't change that
39:38it's nice
39:39so once
39:40I left you then
39:41how quick was the process
39:43to when you got the keys
39:44between us seeing the house
39:46and buying it
39:47was four months
39:48yeah we bought it in January
39:49as we filmed in September
39:51after about six months
39:52of
39:54coming backwards and forwards
39:55quite often
39:55we'd said right
39:57that's it
39:57do we need to work
39:58we looked at a plan
39:59where we didn't need to work
40:01which involved selling our house
40:03in the UK
40:03and just got on and did it
40:05I think it's just wonderful
40:06it's so nice to see
40:07how you're living
40:08it's so nice to see
40:09what you've done to the place
40:10the fact Hannah as well
40:12that you're close to mum
40:13it's really good
40:14so what else are you doing then
40:15we are planning on going
40:17for a game of Patanka
40:19Patanka?
40:19we've spoken about
40:20but with balls
40:21yes
40:22French balls
40:23you fancy coming along
40:24having a game?
40:25I have no clue what I'm doing
40:27well funnily enough
40:28we've only been playing
40:29a few months
40:29so we're all
40:31we're all beginners
40:32fine
40:32I think mum's probably
40:34going to just relax here
40:35while we go and do that
40:36fair enough
40:36is that alright with you?
40:37yeah that's fine
40:38thank you for lunch
40:39it was wonderful
40:39you're welcome
40:40very good recipe
40:43Gareth and Hannah
40:45have started playing
40:45Patank
40:46a very popular
40:47and accessible game
40:49with an international club
40:50a group they've joined
40:51which meets
40:52every Friday morning
40:53so I've played bowls
40:55and I've seen
40:56this being played
40:57about Spain before
40:59but I've never really
41:00gotten into it
41:01what is it exactly?
41:03I suppose it's a
41:04Spanish version of
41:05balls
41:06it is
41:06you throw a small ball
41:08and then take it in turns
41:09to throw a bigger ball
41:10and get as close as you can
41:12that's in a nutshell
41:13is Patank
41:14and if you're lucky
41:15yeah
41:15like I'm about once
41:16in every 20 goes
41:17you get close
41:18otherwise
41:19somebody else wins
41:21I'm up for it
41:22a lot more rules than that
41:23but that's the gist of it
41:24well
41:24do you know what
41:25it sounds straightforward enough
41:26at least it's what you two
41:27make it sound easy
41:28the international club
41:29play much more strictly
41:30but we do it for fun
41:31so we'll have some fun
41:33alright
41:33brilliant
41:36why am I going first
41:38Gareth
41:38when you're the pro

42:05thank you everyone
42:06thank you
42:09unbelievable
42:09best of one
42:10best of one
42:11beginner's luck
42:12let's be honest
42:13nothing wrong with quitting
42:14when you're ahead
42:15and it's pretty hot
42:16time for a sit down
42:18I can see why you love it down here
42:20especially in the sunshine
42:21the fresh air
42:22I know there's a few guys here
42:24from your international club as well
42:25so do you tend to bump into people
42:27when you come down
42:28we do bump into people all over
42:30actually it's quite nice
42:31yeah
42:31because you know people
42:32and you're bumping people in the supermarkets
42:33just walking on the roads
42:35on the beach
42:36and that's really nice
42:37to actually feel that you've got
42:38a group of people that
42:39yeah
42:40it's not just on a Friday morning
42:41it's kind of throughout the week
42:43it's really nice
42:44do you feel like this is home now
42:46like you've integrated
42:47oh
42:48I don't think we're fully integrated
42:49but we've certainly got a good community of friends
42:52for me the thing that will make us integrate
42:54and it's one of our
42:55it's our next step
42:56is to learn more Spanish
42:57I don't just want to integrate with expats
43:00and we're doing as much as we can
43:01we know we're shopping at the local butchers
43:03we're shopping at the local green grocers
43:06and the fish market
43:07the town hall does free classes
43:08so I think come on
43:10the autumn
43:11we will be joining the free classes there
43:13twice a week
43:14oh great good idea
43:15hopefully
43:16you'll learn super fast
43:18I think you're on the right track
43:19aren't you
43:19oh definitely
43:20yeah you're on the right track
43:21so any regrets
43:22no
43:24none at all
43:25no I don't think so
43:26there's not many places
43:27where you can sit on the beach
43:29in the sunshine
43:30and look up and see the snow
43:31on the Sierra Nevadas
43:32so for that we are so so lucky
43:34it's pretty spectacular
43:35isn't it
43:36if you could give one bit of advice
43:38to somebody who's watching you guys story
43:41they saw you the first time
43:42they're looking at you now
43:44what would you say to them
43:45do it
43:46yeah I would say
43:47don't be afraid of the visa
43:49don't be afraid of all the paperwork
43:51if you've got
43:52if you can meet the criteria
43:54do it
43:55do it absolutely
43:56look at it
43:58why wouldn't you
43:59well you two are both glowing
44:01from the minute I've seen you
44:02seeing your place
