in hand, it’s all
too easy to fall into a lengthy reverie as you
gaze across the intensely blue Aegean from
the terrace of these charming 18th- and 19th-
century townhouses.
Snug on the cliffs, overlooking the bay of
the famed caldera, this cluster of luxurious,
five-star villas – delicately restored with the
area’s traditional volcanic stone – provide
a peaceful option just a five-minute stroll
from the centre of the island’s lively capital.
Antique furniture and marble floors lend a
sense of gravitas, while light, pastel shades
instil instant calm.
Unwind with a cooling dip in the pool,
followed by flavourful Mediterranean dishes
served either in the gourmet restaurant or
in the privacy of your own balcony under the
moonlight. Bliss.

a logistical nightmare, particularly when
members of the party have different priorities. One may want to
dance all night, another’s bed will call early. Some will want to eat
out, budget-conscious souls may wish to self-cater.
This is where Reykjavik Residence comes into its own. The
downtown hotel’s huge, open-plan apartments can comfortably
sleep up to eight people. Decor is stylish and monochrome
suites – think Nordic minimalism – and fully equipped kitchens
have all the utensils appropriate to a home from home.
Its location in the centre of the fashionable ‘101’ district,
means all wants and whims – whether for shopping, a new
cultural experience, a bite to eat or somewhere to drink – are
catered for within a short stroll.
Duplicate keys allow the night owls to continue their fun
without disturbing early birds and, with a delightful breakfast
basket loaded into the fridge every day, each guest can tuck
in at their leisure – whether it be at the crack of dawn or late
afternoon.
