Description Golden Honeycomb: Pirgi

With its private beach, sweeping sea views, sumptuous bedrooms with their own suntrap balconies, and a whole host of luxurious extras, this villa is in a league of its own. You’ll arrive as appetizers are served by the waterside and a slap-up dinner is cooked by a private chef. Quench your thirst with cocktails mixed up at the bar cart before watching twilight fall from your secret cove.

Mornings begin with coffee on the terrace, followed by a gentle swim in the infinity pool and a pamper session in the sauna. Come together for breakfast – delivered daily by your host – in the bright, white living space or find a shady nook outside.

Spend afternoons flitting between snorkelling in the crystal clear Ionian and topping up your tan on loungers in the glorious sunshine. But if you fancy a change of scenery, take the twenty-five-minute drive to Corfu Town – its elegant Venetian architecture and picturesque harbour make for an idyllic backdrop to a burning sunset.
