^ Is Slovenia cheap? You just reminded me that I heard it was the 1st state of former Yugoslavia to join the Eurozone. It's regarded pretty reliable. Of course, I would suggest you to think about the place that would be both close to this region you like and the best potential capital gain for yourself in your future. You're being wise by thinking about Slovenia. Some would even call it a potential expansion of Switzerland to Central Europe. OK, you said Switzerland wasn't your cup of tea, but you know, if Slovenia can buy you a loft in Venice in the future... Then I guess you should think twice about it. On the other hand, if northern Italy's able to be affordable too, it's surely fine as well.

Glad you get some choice.
