I agree this area (mediterranean coast) is one of the best in the world. There are nuances between countries: Italy has arguably the best food, Spain has the best weather, France has a combination of these two, good food and good weather. In my case I went for Spain because I don't like to feel the cold, ever. I like to be outdoors all year, plus villas cost a fraction of what they cost in France or Italy. You can easily buy a completely new build with a pool in a nice area for 300.000€.
