Winter holiday home - Page 3

Really??????

I spend winter in a south facing house with no heating and marble floors. I sleep beside an open patio door with a 4.5 tog quilt and I’m warm enough. Maybe I’m lucky in not feeling the cold and I only wear long trousers when it’s raining

NannieH  You never know, they maybe Irish or have Irish passports, are even other Europeon passports. Always check peoples situations before you assume anything.

No one mentioned the cortigo style construction. Old houses with thick stone walls, cool in summer and toasty in winter when combined with a wood burner. Just make sure the roof is new construction

No foundations , no ventilation , damp problems when left for a period of time. Mouldy , Not ideal.  Paint won’t stick to the walls as too moist with rising damp. Not all obviously but for New people they really need to do a lot of homework, we’ve had our great well built little house in the campo for 20 years and have heard it all.   

I am supposing that you live in or near Mojácar which explains partly why you don't get so cold.  When you start moving inland the winter temperature is less mild and temperature deoends on your altitude. We do have cooler summer nights than coastal areas though which is a big plus! 

Wow ....bitchy or what?  If people want detailed answers then they need to put all the facts otherwise people have no options but to make presumptions surely???? Now go and polish your halo revilo53!

NannieH, When you post on any forum you must expect reaction and it's no big deal whether the questioner is from the outside or inside the EU or whether its's a UK or EU passport. People are entitled to post and the more they do the better. We all wear halos, otherwise we wouldn't be posting.

And much drier, cleaner air, less flies, more space etc etc up here in the 'inland'

NannieH  "OMG  pull your knickers up,do you know the meaning of Passport? Its simple, all you needed to do was to ask them what country there passport is valid for.  Its not rocket science
