For my holiday, I prefer choosing a place with a good life. a place where there is a garden with the flowers that smell good, not private to internet. With TV and Two bedrooms. espacially, the place must be calm not much noise.

For a luxury holiday, I'd choose the city flat, but in some cases, I'd choose the farmhouse, if I want to be alone and have a relationship with the peaceful environment, far away from any distractions.

I would like to choose a calm and green place on holidays to relax my mind and keep engaged with family. Because children want time that is impossible in-office days in a week.

I'll choose to go to farmhouse for a holiday because the reason is I'm citizen and many people were spending their time on the city by doing work included me. And another reason is I like to spend my time at a quiet place like a green garden. That's why my favourite place that I want to go is absolutely farmhouse like many people chose.
