Besides the country where you are going to buy the property, it is important to determine with what purpose you are going to buy the property. For example, if you want to buy a vacation home to spend the winter, then it is important that there are also plenty of activities during the winter. Also, you may then be looking for compatriots who do the same. Another important question is: Will you buy the vacation home purely for your own use or will you rent it out?

Also don’t forget the facilities in and around the house.
