Great question! I think the Shire in peacetime, of course, or Rivendale. Oh and definitely in Three Pines, as long as I'm not the victim! I love those people!
What a fun question! I have so many answers (your ideas of Corfu re: My Family and Other Animals and the Yorkshire Dales are top tier)… For today, I’ll pick the summer island in Swallows & Amazons. It’s peak idyllic childhood.
I'd have to say Anne of Green Gables - ever since first reading about Prince Edward Island, the shores, the orchards, lakes, I've wanted to live in that world. My youngest son sitting on the couch next to me votes for Redwall (very cozy).
It is all in the description, isn't it - some authors have a gift of creating place. My first and final choice would be the fells, dales, and becks of the Lake District of England, from Rosemary Sutcliff's 'The Shield Ring'.
What a great question! I think I would like to live in Hobbitshire.
Same. Seems a perfect life.
Tuscany - a room with a view. Loved it as a teenager, love it still.
Every time I read a Louise Penny novel, I think how much I’d like to live in Three Pines—now more than ever!

Yes! Would love to live in Three Pines as long as the murders stayed far from me.
The answer has to be Perelandra. All of my other favorite novels would be too traumatic for me.

Please take me to Tove Janssen's Moomin Valley this spring, just as Snufkin returns and the family wakes up from hibernation.
Gondor, after Aragorn is crowned, of course. With frequent trips to Rohan and the Shire.
"Wind in the Willows" was the first thing that came to mind. After that came the flood.
I love this question! Definitely Hobbiton in the Fellowship of the Ring. but also Portofino in Enchanted April.
My first choice! Although Narnia and Hobbiton and Yorkshire are close runners up. But tea with Ratty and Mole would be awesome. 💖📚
I'm sure I'm not the only one who will choose Middle Earth, but I'll take that "universe" and live in Gondor.
Finn Family Moomintroll. I’m absolutely fine with the hibernation thing.

Tove Janssens The Summer Book. I would stay on the little island for a bit.
The Dales, Narnia, Corfu are all tempting choices, but Rivendell and Lothlórien for me!
