Description Buddha House: Karpathos

Karpathos is an island steeped in natural beauty, and you have the best view from the privacy of your villa. The open terrace, decorated in sun beds, stares out across the Ionian Sea and the undulating hillside in the background. Magical and mesmerising, it's a view you never tire of seeing.

Turn back towards the villa and you'll realise it has a lot more to offer than a gorgeous view. Numerous seating spots are dotted around the outdoor area, perfect for sharing feta, taramasalata and white wine. There are large, group settings and more intimate spots for when you want to sleek away for some privacy.

The most romantic spot for couples is the rug and cushions under the canopy. Set up a picnic here and watch the orange tones of sunset turn the sky a dusty red.

When the whole group comes together, grill some sizzling meats on the BBQ or have your host arrange a private chef for true indulgence. If you wanted world-class food away from the villa, Karpathos centre is just a four-minute walk away.

Home truths:
* The main home spans across three floors with two bedrooms on each floor
