I am sort of…always a bit of a worry that you’ve found ‘the right place’ as I was in charge of finding Gite, my 4th time & I hope that all as it says(although the Visitors Comments sold it for me this time!):shock:
French…hmmmm I think I know enough to get by on;-)
Normally my Wife and I holiday at least twice a year, we enjoy the ‘Royal Kenz Hotel’ Port el Kantauoin Tunisia. The hotel is nice, part owners Wife is from England, they even have their meals in the dinning room, shows the quality of the food, No one under 16 allowed in the hotel, so you get a varied age range of couple, someone once said the average of guest was mid 50’s and I would agree.Link in French but you can translate. http://hotelroyalkenz.com/
Our main holiday is always in Cortes de la Frontera, up in the hills of Andalusia, Spain. A wonderful white village, friendly people, little English is spoken so a phrase book or some lessons may help but be warned the villages speak a very accented dialect, like a broad Geordie speaks English.
We plan to move to the village sometime late next year, rent a small house, apartment or Finca, my health has not been good over the last 12 months but moving here is no issue as it has a small cottage type hospital, manned by para medics. Gibraltar is only around 40 min’s drive away, with an excellent Hospital. 10 min by helicopter from the village, yes the Para medics even use the helicopter if required, all covered by the E111 card.
