3 night break in europe?

Hi all, wondered if anyone can help out and give some advice please.

I'm off to Rome for the Champions League Final in a couple of weeks, so my missus is going to go away for a short break with her mam.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere to go to, which isn't Italy, due to the ridiculous prices at the moment.

Looking to fly out on Wednesday 27th May, and return on Saturday 30th May.

Somewhere warm if possible, and not too far away with it only being a few days away.

Any ideas / deals appreciated :D

    Where in the Uk can they fly from?

    Do you want a non-Euro or just a cheaper than Italy country?

    Sorry, should have said, live in Manchester, so would want to travel from Manchester airport.

    Would like a nice European city break. Not Ireland etc though... And not Italy, pretty open to anywhere else.

    Possibly somewhere like Paris.

    if you want warm, then spain or south of france?
    have been to madrid and barcelona, both with lots of sightseeing and museums. Nice in South of France has enough for a long weekend too and you can day-trip to Monaco.
    I guess its a case of looking at the cheap flight operators and seeing where they fly to from manchester. sounds fab!

    30th May is an expensive returning home flight day because it is the end of school half term holidays and demand is higher.
