The home hunters were looking for a three-bedroom property that's near an airport, is close to the sea or has a pool, and isn't far from cafes or shops.
Stephen's budget was €350,000 and Maggie said it "should be enough to get him a fine home", but property prices in the area have gone up in the last few years.

The house hunt proved to be a real challenge, but Stephen was open to a fixer-upper.
Maggie immediately got to work and found a traditional villa in the village of Pecheo, which is just a 15 minute drive from the airport.
The property was on the market for €215,000 and offered loads of space, but it needed a lot of work.
After viewing this home, Stephen admitted it has "a lot of potential but needs a lot of work".

Next up was a "pristine" and fully renovated townhouse in Luz de Tavira which was on the market for €319,000.
Upon arriving at the home, Stephen noted that it was a "big difference from the last house".
Next Maggie brought them to a two-bedroom cottage that had plenty of out houses along with it's main house.
The traditional Spanish-style pueblo home was on the market for €199,000 - and with over three acres of land included in that price, Maggie was optimistic.
And Maggie's instincts were right, as Michelle's eyes lit up when she heard the home had three and a half acres of land, but she wasn't entirely convinced about the property, just yet.
The final house was a "quirky" Spanish home, more centrally located in Nerja, that had a lot of potential with a little investment.
