Spilling with oleander and jacaranda, this incurably romantic, 19th-century rose-coloured villa, five minutes' walk from the beach, is like stepping into a vintage Italian film, with wooden floors, Viennese frescoes, antique beds and old-world-style rooms. Breakfast on the sun-dappled terrace is divine: a mouthwatering array of homemade bread, cheeses and gourmet treats. One of the finest hotels in the Dodecanese.
To Archontiko Angelou is big on healthy (and very good) eating, including vegetarian, vegan, dairy- and gluten-free dining as well.
