Have you considered going to New Zealand? I know its not an EASA ticket but its very easy to convert, medical, a few exams and flight test. Another few hundred £/euro but well worth looking at.
I did mine in the Bay of Plenty, Tauranga Airport around March time and had great weather, great views and brilliant people around, some clubs will loan you a car to get to the shops only 5 minutes away.
Worth looking into I think, PM if you want more details.
