Tassos, the owner of my villa(Trizoni), has converted his family's three derelict cottages into stunningly stylish pads - a rare find on the island - complete with infinity pools, funky designer furniture and sun terraces decorated like hip beach bars. He says his summer bookings are bucking the trend and doing well (hurry, if you want to snap one up), while the rest of the island is struggling.

Isle be yours...Kefalonia, Greece this picturesque island rocketed to fame with the publication of Louis de Bernieres' Captain Corelli's Mandolin. One of the seven Ionian islands, Kefalonia is the largest but least developed of this pretty archipelago, with long sandy beaches and lush pine forests. the island is blissfully uncrowded, especially the more sophisticated north, and it's well worth exploring the hidden coves, rugged limestone peaks and higgledy-piggledy villages. Where to stay: Zouzouni is an amazing villa in Chalikeri with a stunning indoor/outdoor pool, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and a great location near the port of Fiscardo.

Islands fit for heroes
Zouzouni - open the door and you almost step right into the inside-out pool at this swish love nest. Floor-to-ceiling glass capitalizes on unbroken sea views. 
Bold designer pieces are peppered with local finds: antique oars, beehives for tables, a driftwood stand for the plasma TV. Sleeps two.

Top villas - with extras treehouse. Inside-outside pool, nanny, outdoor cinema... it's amazing what can be yours by Paul Croughton. So, you're renting a villa this year, are you? Sounds lovely, with its own pool and a barbecue and nice white walls, but, let's be honest, it's not really going to spark envious looks at the local supermarket, now is it? What you want is a villa with the X factor, a holiday home with an add-on. so here are our favorite rental properties around the world that come with added envy, guaranteed. Make sure you take plenty of pictures ... inside-outside swimming pool
Zouzouni villa, Kefalonia sleeps 2. How about a modern but romantic hideaway, based around an infinity pool that curves round the building, then invites itself inside, right up to your floor-to-ceiling glass bedroom door? Which means you can rise from your slumber and enter the pristine water in one elegant splosh. 
The slick, minimal design gives a decadent sense of being the only guests in a brand-new boutique hotel - which would make us immediately want to run down the corridor naked. That's probably just us though, as it's just the two of you ...

Cool in Kefalonia look away now, Barbara Cartland readers: this one's downright sexy. Villa Zouzouni was built only last year. But it's already been booked (almost) solid by loved-up couples who like a bit of designer style with their smooching. It's verging on mimimalist inside, with grey slate floors, white walls, chrome fittings ... and blue water. The last of these being the pool, which starts in the living room, flows outside through a gap in the walls and turns a sharp corner to run the length of the house, overlooking the sea. Its a spectacular feature, letting you swim from the sofa out to the terrace - though you can enjoy the sunsets just as easily from your bed, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows. For true romance, you don't want a stuffy hotel. You need a sneaky hideaway for two. Stephen Bleach presents this summer's dirty dozen.
