A Place in the Sun: What Happened Next? - Season 2 Episode 3 -

The new series continues, as we catch up with house-hunters who bought their perfect place abroad. Laura Hamilton catches up with Gilly and Jane at their holiday home in the Dordogne that they bought back in 2016. Known as the land of a thousand chateaux, the Dordogne boasts hundreds of vineyards and charming traditional towns and villages, enlivened with no fewer than 30 festivals a year. Armed with £100k, Gilly and Jane's search got off to a slow start, but they were eventually blown away by the blue shutters they craved on a traditional stone cottage. Seven years on, Laura's back to see what they've done to the place, before they all go on a brocante treasure hunt! Meanwhile, Leah Charles-King returns to Islantilla in southern Spain, to see how Steve and Carrie are getting on at the sunny home that they bought in 2021. Home to a stunning white sand beach and surrounded by natural beauty, there's also plenty to do in Islantilla, and the town itself is steeped in local culture and history, with relics from its Moorish and Roman past. As Carrie and Steve's search got underway, Carrie struggled to find 'the feeling' she was after, until they saw an over-budget townhouse with gorgeous kerb appeal. Kicking everything else to the kerb, their budget-busting offer was accepted... eventually! Now, Leah's back with Carrie, while Steve attends commitments at home, to see how they've made it a true home-from-home, before they take in the local sights on a boat trip.
