Set just a short flip-flop from the sandy shores of Ammoudi Beach in Zakynthos –⁠ this newly-built apartment is tailor-made for easy holidays by the sea. The private terrace with views of nearby Agios Nikolaos Bay is the showstopper here. It’s a prime spot for morning breakfasts, and the bakery at the end of the road can help with supplies. The second bedroom handily doubles as a study space. However, if you’re using it as a bedroom, two guests will share a double sofa bed which may be better suited to children sharing or one adult.

Home truths:
*There is free parking outside the apartment
*This apartment is located on the second floor with lift access
*There’s a desk space for remote working
*A cot and high chair can be provided for little ones
*There’s a supermarket and bakery within walking distance to pick up supplies but to reach the amenities of nearby Agios Nikolaos, you may find it easier to drive
