Cretan hideaway Villas, ££It’s only 15 minutes from busy Chania, but Maro’s Spitaki feels like the most secluded love nest in Crete. Hidden in orange groves down a rough track from the tiny village of Varipetro, you’ll find shady gardens, seductive views, a rather flash pool and seclusion (though the owner drops by every couple of days to tend to the ducks). Sleeping two (of course), it costs £550/£995 with Freelance Holidays (0845 094 8871, freelance-holidays.co.uk ), which can supply a car for £160/£180. Fly to Chania with Flythomascook (flythomascook.co.uk ) or Thomsonfly (0870 190 0737, thomsonfly.com ).
