Winter - some mountains to snowboard. Summer - some nice country with good weather, delicious food and pleasant people, like Italy, Spain or Portugal for example
I would prefer to stay in a small apartment in almost any city, anywhere in the world, during my ideal vacation. A place with total privacy and leisure would be ideal, but I would also want the ability to walk anywhere in the city, stop anywhere for food or conversation, wander through local markets, watch local artists and street performers, and learn about the products sold there and how they are used.
