Stately bedrooms with glass-fronted fires lead to spa-style bathrooms (quite literally smoke and mirrors), and all rooms boast a mountain-facing balcony. Here, alpine opulence and Asian serenity strike the perfect match. Sake, sushi and a sleek cigar lounge provide the fuel for days spent in the Urseren Valley.

English is widely spoken, thanks to a decades-long connection with Britain, and the cost of living in the Algarve is one of the most undervalued in Europe. In 2012, Portugal introduced its Golden Visa program, one of the best in the EU. Retirees can also establish residency in this country simply by showing a minimum monthly income of just 1,070 euros. Annecy, France   The big attraction of lakeside Annecy, the Pearl of the French Alps, is its ski slopes in winter, but this is an appealing place to be year-round. In summer, the lakeshore bustles b...
