Hi Brian
You dont need a visa for Cyprus its EU
You've really limited your options with the language thing I'm afraid, and you mentioned Bulgaria or Czech republic, but those are ruled out for that reason also.
In Spain there are areas where you can get by without speaking Spanish, and also the rentals here for a house would be in the region of €450 a month
Oh .... and the other forum you posted on .... you posted in the wrong place, and thats why you got the reaction you got. Try the Europe section.
