Where would you build your dream villa?

[MrScorpio]

Anywhere in the world

[MichiganVote]

1. Spain or Italy

[tjdee]

2. Central Park....but then, I'd have to eject lots of people...

fly in some grape plants, that sort of thing.

Also, I'd have to find a way to deal with winter...hmmm. Pack up the whole thing and head to Florence then?

[Jamastiene]

17. Biosphere it in winter.

Actually, biosphere it year round and add ventilation for summer.

[Longgrain]

3. A private Island in Hawaii

And if I was rich enough, I'd pay for any DUer who wanted to, to fly out there for one big DU blowout!

[Jamastiene]

20. I love you.

I'd love that. Sounds like a party to me. You are a generous person. I love people like you. :pals:

[DU9598]

4. Quepos, Costa Rica

Pacific coast and national park rainforest. Very gay friendly, too.

[RC]

5. Oahu

Far enough inland or high enough on a mountain not to worry about tsunamis.

This.



Not this.

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. Kelley's Island

[lpbk2713]

7. In the hills near Torremolinos.

I always liked it there.

[Pool Hall Ace]

8. Roatan, Honduras

In fact, I would like to retire there, but a Repub friend told me to go "where there's good healthcare."

OK, that rules out the US.

[tjwmason]

9. Italy, between Florence and the coast

So that both are easily accessible. Near San Giminiano would be great.

On a hillside, looking over the gorgeous Tuscan countryside.

The perfect place to sit and sip vin santo whilst dipping cantuccini in it.

[Huckebein the Raven]

10. Somewhere in the south of France or in Japan with Mt. Fuji in the distance

[tjwmason]

23. Mount Fuji sounds wonderful but far away

My problem/advantage is that Japan is half way around the planet, whereas southern Europe is a short plane-hop away.

South of France or Italy would be ideal, long week-ends are perfectly feasible from the U.K.

[Huckebein the Raven]

26. I wish I was that close to S. Europe

[imenja]

11. Brazil, northern coast of the state of Bahia

[Swamp Rat]

21. Um poco mas ao norte pra mim, até Ceará.

:)

[imenja]

22. infelizmente, nunca estive la

[Heidi]

12. Toscona.

[KitchenWitch]

13. Next door to yours sweetcheeks!

:evilgrin:

[ffm172]

14. somewher close to the ocean

the exact location still has to be found.

[freebird1]

19. ... by the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful Sea !

... good morning. How was your weekend ?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. Corsica - on the gorgeous bay of Ajaccio

Corsica is still fairly unspoiled and natural. It's simply a beautiful island and the bay at Ajaccio is splendid.

[Jamastiene]

16. I'm no Barbie, but

I've always wanted a beach house and to design it myself. I'm leaning to ward California, somewhere out there. I'm supposing San Francisco is the most liberal place out there from what I've heard. I'd want the house to have a view of the bridge. Beautiful. I think that'd do the trick for me.

[freebird1]

18. Big Pine Key

I'm an east coast baby and I wouldn't live anywhere but in the USA.

[noonwitch]

24. Old Mission Penninsula, Grand Traverse Bay (northern Michigan

I love northern Michigan and the Great Lakes.

[Bridget Burke]

25. It's already built--I just don't own it!

Thoor Cottage, Thoor, Ballylee, Gort, County Galway, Éire



Thoor Cottage dates from the 19th century and is located adjacent to Thoor Castle, the former home of W.B. Yeats, who said " To leave here is to leave beauty behind."

The property which is approached by quiet country tree lined roads is surrounded by magnificently kept landscaped gardens.

There must be drawbacks--this one has been available for some time. Easy driving distance to Galway City & the coast. Many overly-modern places are available--but it's good to see the area my grandparents fled is doing better. And there are a few fixer-uppers...
