Ethereal Dusk

Ethereal Dusk: Aegean South

Compact but cosy, this stylish apartment may be petite, but it has all the luxe touches you'll need. Mornings here begin with a coffee on the balcony, followed by an afternoon dip in the private pool. As the day draws to a close, end the evening with an alfresco glass of wine as the sun goes down before getting cosy in front of the fireplace. Mixing classic Cycladic design with an antique flair, the living area is an excellent spot to kick off your shoes and relax. A DVD player and movie library will keep you entertained during chilled nights at home, while the two sumptuous bedrooms promise a good night's sleep. We also love the sleek bathrooms – the high-end toiletries, fluffy bathrobes and lavish rainfall showers are hard to resist.

The kitchen here is tiny, so we don't think you'll be doing a lot of cooking – not a problem, considering Naxos' array of tavernas, bars and restaurants is only a seven-minute drive away. Also close by is Agios Prokopios Beach, about five minutes by car – perfect for when you crave the feeling of sand between your toes.

Home truths:
*Two children may be able to sleep on the sofa bed – however, we think this home is best suited to four guests
*Your host owns multiple apartments in this building, so the exact furnishings, layout and view may vary from the photos
*This home is part of a hotel
*The kitchen has a stove but it’s very tiny – we think you’d be better off dining out
*Although the pool is private, it may overlook the neighbouring villas
*The dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workplace
*You'll need a car here – there's parking on-site
