This cosy villa promises a tranquil retreat for two. Sure, it’s not the biggest, but it’s comfortable for a couple with the added bonus of two bathrooms.

The covered terrace is a nice touch, perfect for sharing a bottle of wine after a busy day, before sinking into the Jacuzzi to relax under the stars.
