"Best for: blissful isolation Poised on a hilltop with commanding views across the Peloponnese, Amanzoe, one of the most romantic hotels in Greece, is opulent in the extreme yet deliberately discreet. The setting is serene, the design muted, the mood hushed. Scattered like an amphitheater around the Mediterranean gardens are 38 pavilions (there’s nothing so plebeian as a bedroom here) that feel more like serviced apartments. Every pavilion has a bathtub big enough for two, a bed big enough for three, and a perfectly private pool bordered by fragrant shrubs, so you need never venture out. But it would be a shame to miss the sunlit spa and beach club, a chauffeur-driven ride through the olive groves. Price: from about $1,088 per night" - Rachel Howard, Lauren Burvill
