Can't do an island as we need to be able to get the ferry overnight or ride down from Calais.
I don't need it super hot, just not 2 degrees and getting dark at 3pm.
Would like to be ear some nice biking roads though.
We thought we'd rent for a season to 6 months.
We know it will be great in summer- but want to see what it is like over the winter months.
Yes, service charges are foremost in our mind.

I strongly recommend Tavira, nearer the Spanish border. The water is hotter, there are less people, the city is still unspoiled (roman bridges and buildings scattered around), the food is amazing (the fish...), the wine even better and the prices are reasonable.

If you really want to go to the Costa Del Sol, or that area, have a look at the Costa Tropical. It starts just next to Nerja, and runs East/North for a bit. It is very much more Spanish, still warm, and much cheaper. We had a break in Almunecar, which was OK. A bit gritty, but some nice parts, has some lively big squares and plenty of places to eat and drink. Big beach too. Further up the coast you have the white pueblo hill town of Salobrena, which is not far from the beach, but pretty. There are quite a few more places that could be OK, and as I said, a lot cheaper to buy cos its off the british tourist trail, and is more one for the Spanish.
The area is accessible from either Malaga or Granada airports.
I'd still pick Denia over all of them though. 4 hours drive to Madrid as well, which is nice to have as an option for a few nights when you are there, if you fancy it. Madrid is cheap too. Good for a weekend.
I don't like Luz though - soulless and drab. Just a load of dull apartments and loudmouthed Brits with kids called Ollie and Josh. and Noah.
I lke Lagos as well. Even though its big and busy, it has a lot of history to it, and still retains character. The main squares are throbbing, but you can quickly get into atmospheric side streets and find quieter bars if you want. Love the city walls, and the beaches are something else. We have been a few times, and have stayed right in the heart of the city as well as on the outside.
