“A Place in the Sun” continues its reign as the ultimate escapist TV, whisking viewers away to sun-drenched locales and vicarious property purchases. This week, therapists Bernie and Vernon are on the hunt for a holiday home in Fuerteventura. Vernon’s a first-timer on the island, but they’re convinced it’s the right spot for their vacation retreat. With a £150,000 budget, can Sara Damergi find them the perfect pad?
The appeal of “A Place in the Sun” remains constant: the fantasy of ditching dreary weather for a Mediterranean villa, the thrill of the property hunt, and the quiet judgment of other people’s decorating choices. Will Bernie and Vernon find their dream home, or will they be forced to compromise on that essential infinity pool?
Tune in to see Sara guide them through Fuerteventura’s finest, balancing their wish list with the realities of their budget. Hopefully, there won’t be too many awkward silences during those property viewings.
“A Place in the Sun” airs Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at 6:00 PM on Channel 4.
