"For several years and on different occasions, we have been looking for homes in Southern Europe. But the years passed without us finding anything good enough. Then, about a year ago, our son sent us a link from 21-5, which we studied intensively and with growing interest.

There was everything we needed—attractive, ready-to-move-in homes in Southern Europe. Just pay and move in. For us, being over 70, this was a perfect option. No searching or debating, help with everything, and very little responsibility. We decided to go for it, and then the waiting began.

What joy when we received our first property, a house in southern France. But then we started to think: where exactly was the house located? Was it far from restaurants and shops? Would we need to drive? Many questions arose—how would this work? It was exciting to plan our first visit; it felt like opening a Christmas present. Then the waiting began again, and the summer passed.

Then autumn came, and a house in Tuscany appeared, shortly followed by a chalet in Chamonix, and then another property in Estepona in southern Spain. Along with these came a lot of information and videos—it was so much fun. The whole family was filled with wonderful feelings (our two adult children with their families and us), and everyone engaged in lively dreams and discussions.

We were almost there at the different locations and discussed which weeks to stay and what we would do there. How big would it be? Would everyone fit? Everyone was excited. Now we are waiting with anticipation for the last property, which will be in Mallorca. This waiting and longing are so thrilling—it’s like expecting a child. You have our trust. Everything feels very good, though sometimes a little challenging with the Danish language."
