Remember those sun-drenched dreams of owning a home abroad? Channel 4’s “A Place in the Sun: What Happened Next?” returns for a second season to examine the reality of those dreams. Did they find paradise, or did their overseas property ventures turn into a fixer-upper nightmare?
On Monday’s episode, we revisit two couples who took the plunge. Danni Menzies catches up with Marie and Chris in Manilva, Spain. In 2019, they found a seaside holiday home within their £130,000 budget, snagging the former hotel for a cool £115k. Have they turned it into the Spanish haven they envisioned? Danni gets a taste of their veggie paella while she assesses the transformation.
Meanwhile, Ben Hillman checks in with John, a photographer who bought an “upside-down townhouse” in Skopelos, Greece, four years prior. For John, who doesn’t drive, finding a location close to amenities was paramount. Has his Greek island dream lived up to expectations? Ben enjoys a photoshoot as he gets John’s take on island life.
Tune in to Channel 4 on Monday, 17 March at 6:00 PM to see the joys and struggles of owning a home abroad, from coastal Spain to the Greek isles.
