Vasilikos Beach Hotel  

The setting of this hotel is something else. It's in a conservation area, so views come in the form of pine forests, olive groves and tree-stacked hills. Plus one of Zante's best beaches is just a couple of minutes' stroll away. St Nicholas itself is ultra sleepy. There's just a bar, a mini-market and a few tavernas. But that's where the appeal lies – you can really get away from it all here.

The family that runs the Vasilikos Beach knows how to make good holidays great. Friendly and welcoming, they give the impression nothing would be too much trouble for them. On the accommodation front, there's a good selection of rooms including some that sleep four, so they're ideal for families. Plus there are suites that come with huge lounges. Whichever one you go for, they all come with minibars, air-conditioning and private balconies.

Outside, the grounds are as lovely as the surroundings, with flower beds and trees dotted here, there and everywhere. The large curvy pool is the main talking point though. Not only does it have a whirlpool bath on the side, but it has in-the-water seats too, which are great for keeping cool. It's surrounded by a terrace dotted with sun loungers and thatched parasols. Factor in a bar and a children's playground and this hotel gives you everything you need for a great holiday.
