The sunset from this villa, on a mountainside above the picturesque town of Sivota, took our breath away. Watch the Ionian Sea turn a rich Greek honey colour as the light begins to fade. Then go for an evening dip in the gorgeous infinity pool. We love the views over the islands of Paxos and Corfu from here.

Inside, there’s a beach vibe, with soothing ocean blues and pebble greys. Both bedrooms have the most glorious sea vistas – what a way to wake up in the morning. Let the concierge arrange a massage for you after breakfast – total bliss.

Or, if you fancy exploring, there’s plenty to see. Situated in Sivota Epirus on the west coast mainland of Greece – the fishing town of Sivota with its tavernas, cafés, bars and boutiques is a five-minute drive away. Mikri Ammos, set in a small blue cove surrounded by cliffs, is a two-minute drive if you want a day on the beach.
