Phthalo Green

Close to several pretty coves, this villa is perfect for dropping your bags and heading straight to the coast. The floating stairs might be intimidating for some, but you'll find a ground-floor bedroom available here, and should any of the rooms start to feel a little too small, you can spread your legs poolside, where you'll also find a stone-built barbecue and terrace table for alfresco dining. Those travelling with kids can head to the waterpark for the day, and the observation deck, Mirador des Vermells, makes for a pretty backdrop to a family photo.

Home truths:
*Though a car isn't essential, you'll find parking here should you choose to hire one
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift, but there’s a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here for those with reduced mobility
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
*There's an outdoor shower here
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
