Better yet, should you tire of mixing your own Aperol spritzes or grilling octopus on Levandi’s outdoor barbecue, The Peligoni Club – whose portfolio Levandi is part of – and its members- only facilities are handily on tap.

Being honest, when there’s not a cloud in the sky and you’ve got a bird’s eye view of the Ionian sea from your sun lounger at the villa, it’s tough to summon the energy required to head to the beach club, which is a 15-minute drive away (although the club has other villas and cottages much closer).

Once through the club’s wooden arch, however, it’s blissful: whitewashed clapper-board decking built into the rocks and zigzagging right down to the water’s edge, where paddle-boarders and kayakers pootle past windsurfers. Don’t fancy captaining a vessel? Do as we did and chuck yourself into the surf off the rustic diving board.
