Beginner seeks sunny climes and tutor...

Hi All, New to the group so love me hate me for the following... Having felt the urge to take up the accordion some months ago (my grandad owned an accordion shop in Liverpool during the 1940-50's) I'm now sick of our abysmal British summer and am looking for a European destination I can head where I can get hot weather and a tutor for a week in late August / early September. A patient teacher who won't roll their eyes at inability, but instead inspire sweat and tears to master this beautiful instrument. A goats shed on a mountain, a hut by the sea, I'm happy. And stylistically something along the lines of Musette, Taratella etc. Does anyone have any advice for who/where to head?
Many thanks in anticipation...

Welcome JQW, I think , if you look at the weather forecasts for the Continent at present you may think it safer to stay at home.
Don't chose a Greek island !!

Thanks Pipemajor! A few promised rays of sun and a whole lot of cloud isn't enough to hold me back I'm afraid. Even if it means dragging a dinghy behind me...
