        Go to Goa. Nice this time of year - get the sun, sea and sand and chilled out vibe.
        VISA will only take a couple of days.
        Hard Brexit now!

          English speaking, hot and sunny, broadband everywhere, within EU so no hassles. Drive on left.

          Sorted.
          I agree - but don't expect good food, self catering is a must.

          Spain is nice, warm and good food - although they are really going through it at the moment (recession)

              Cyprus is surprisingly pricey, even self catering.
              Pork chops are cheap there though!
              Try to avoid a Russian infested area. First place I've seen forced prostitution too!

                Tenerife is warm this time of year and is also UK timezone. My parents have a nice upmarket pad over there which they sometimes rent out complete with wireless internet and such.. I'll only charge 10% commission.

                  Get yourself off to a nice quiet fully catered chalet somewhere in the French Alps for some skiing. Most chalets have free Wi-Fi these days.

                  Do an hours work in the morning, quick catch up at lunch and then be home to mop up the dailies when the lifts close at about 16.30.

                    Do you always just ignore the requirements that don't suit your solution?

                      What requirements have I missed?

                      Warm... sunny... internet access? Topped off with decent food.
