The Green Chariot

Jutting out of a mountain facing the Ionian Sea, we couldn't find a thing we didn't like about this incredible home. Panoramic sea views from the terrace and infinity pool mean you'll spend most of the day in the sun here – stick around into the evening and watch the sunset with a cocktail. Although the interior has to compete with the terrace, it pulls no punches either, its floor-to-ceiling windows meaning you can cool off while still enjoying the sun. And if you're travelling with young love, the separate guest house lets them have some privacy – though at capacity, they'll be sharing the living room with another couple on the sofa bed.

Home truths:
*One of the bedrooms here is in a separate guest house, along with a bathroom and living area with a sofa bed. At full capacity, two guests will be sleeping on this sofa bed. They will need to share the ensuite bathroom here.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking for up to four cars on the driveway. You might also find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
