For a relaxing Cycladic escape, head to this home on the peaceful shores of Koufonisia. You won’t have a pool here but it’s just a ten-minute walk to the nearest beach, while the island’s amenities are all within easy reach. Your host can also help organise private transfers along with a range of extra services – including massage treatments and private chefs. It’s worth noting the rooms on the lower floor are lacking in natural light, but there’s plenty of outdoor space with sea views. Wine enthusiasts will also appreciate the at-home wine cellar.

Home truths:
*Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
*Daily housekeeping is included in your stay.
*Please note this home is spread across two floors – the lower ground floor rooms are also lacking in natural light.
*There’s a complimentary welcome basket included in your stay.
