Temperature: 19°C high; 13°C low Season: spring Travel time from UK: 2 hours 35 minutes Time difference: GMT +1 Nothing brings a spring to the step quite like the sight of Italy's glorious Amalfi coast. Particularly in March, when its vertiginous twists are bathed in a daily average eight hours of sun. Cliffs plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea, topped with grand palazzos and smart hotels. Narrow, Roman lanes are stuffed with limoncello stalls flogging the boozy spoils of Sorrento's famous fruit. Its snoozy air and pastel-coloured houses are pure Italian cinema: you might even swear you've seen a young Sophia Loren looking impossibly saucy by the quay. Do as the Italians do and spend the lazy, romantic days enjoying a long aperitivo . Don't miss fresh fritto misto at Marina Grande, the town's old fishing harbour, or Michelin-starred Il Buco in the cellars of an old monastery, where chef Peppe Aversa serves seasonal ingredients under a stone-hewn, vaulted ceiling.

WASHTENAW COUNTY, MI - Kip Lightfoot can remember stepping out from under the gingerbread trim of the farmhouse to cut across a dirt road and through a cornfield to Meijer, then one of the few commercial spots in what was once a rural area outside Ann Arbor. Decades later, the same roughly 180-year-old home with its white clapboard siding still stands on Lohr Road in Pittsfield Township, across from a Kohl's department store and near condos that have sprouted from the fields of the surrounding farmstead that dates back to 1825.

As the demand for sturdy, hurricane-proof construction increases, research has shown that prefabricated homes can withstand hurricane storm-related damage better than traditional stick-built homes. Modern modular homes are typically built from reinforced concrete or steel, which can withstand strong winds and wind-borne debris. According to HomeAdvisor, hurricane-proof modular homes cost from $180,000 to $360,000, with many homeowners spending approximately $270,000. The final price of a hurricane-proof modular home depends on the location, number of bedrooms, floor plan, materials, and any additional customizations. Modular building is a cost-effective way to build a house compared to traditional home building. Prefabricated houses are available in many different sizes and styles, including Cape C...

Courtesy It's one of the most scenic hiking spots in the country – and so it's just as well that there are some indulgent spa hotels in the Lake District waiting for you afterwards. In this glorious national park, hike Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England, visit Wordsworth's house in Grasmere or look for Mister McGregor in Beatrix Potter's garden at Hill Top, the cherished children's author's former farm. Go hungry to Ambleside to enjoy some incredible gastronomy, at Lake Road Kitchen and the Old Stamp House in Wordsworth's old office. Or set sail on the waters of Windermere after a trip to a tea room – holidays don't get more British than this. Luckily for anyone coming to this outdoorsy adventure playground to exert some effort, there are lots of spa hotels ready to soothe sore limbs post-hike. At former hunting lodge Holbeck Ghyll, there's a hot...
