If you that's what you are looking for I would go to South Tirol. There is so much to see and it's always cosy, neat, organized and the prices are low compared to what they offer. A small hint could be, spend a few days checking out Trento, Riva del Garda, Bolzano and then spend xmas in Merano or Bolzano and nye in some hotel up in the dolomites. Half hour or 1hr from Merano should do. I go there often when I visit my mother (who is American but lives in EU since 1977) or want to dip my head into nature (all seasons actually). A propos, i just built a page for Tires (no, not the car's) in that area. Take a look or check the web for south tirol yourself. I think it's a great match for what you where suggesting. Plus, it's 1.5hrs from Verona (Romeo and Juliet and the Arena), 1.5hrs from Salzburg (Mozart, romantic and fine architecture). you can even reach Bolzano via plane from most EU...

Cyprus is a great destination in Europe and it is also the eastern-most country of Europe. Unfortunately it is divided into the turkish north and the greek south with the so-called "green line" as a frontier between them, a front that is under control of UN-troops.----------------ALL of Cyprus is part of the EU ! (but reality looks different of course still !)In the south you have a Schengen-country & the Euroand for the north you need a visa (without much complication obtainable on the spot, just some paperwork to be done)Rental-cars are NOT allowed to go across the border !!! I had 7 wonderfull days in Cyprus end of 2010, I rented a car and can highly recommend to visit these places:The Troodos mountains, a great area to escape the heat in Cyprus, and to see some great churches with wonderfull frescoes !.The tombs of the kings a great area of tombs close to Paphos !.Kato Paphos with...
Malta is a rather small island in the Mediterranean Sea.It is the seat of the Maltese Knights since several centuries.The population is partly Arabic,Italian and british.Malta offers large beaches in a great climate and an interesting, unique architecture and prices are quite low in comparison to the rest of Europe.-----------------------------Malta is part of the EU + Schengen + €uro and the cars are driving on the LEFT !They have a good public bus-system, so renting a car is nonsense and there is enough trafic-jam already without you ! In 2010 I had 5 days in Malta and can highly recommend it for a cheap vacation in warm climate.I had my hotel in Sliema, a suburb of La Valetta, the capital of Malta.Some other interesting towns there are :Mdina, the old capital of MaltaMosta, with the 4th largest cuppola on earthRabat, with some great mosaiques in an ancient Roman Villa and there are...
