Monastero Santa Rosa, Amalfi, Italy
The Monastero Santa Rosa hotel stands on a limestone cliff, more than 300 meters above the Tyrrhenian Sea. The converted monastery from the 17th century is today an impressive hotel - just like its surroundings. Everything from the original wooden doors to the long, arched corridors has been beautifully preserved and restored. The hotel has 20 suites with high, vaulted ceilings, Jerusalem stone floors and 17th-century furniture handpicked by owner Bianca Sharma.

Mystique, Santorini, Greece
Although it's really not hard to find a good view in Santorini, Mystique has one of the most 'Instagrammable' views, thanks to the observatory on the edge of the caldera at the southernmost point of Oia. Guests can dive into the infinity pool and watch the dramatic volcanic cliffs and the sparkling southern Aegean Sea. The spacious rooms are 'carved' directly into the cliff and have private terraces with sea views. The highlight is the pool bar with its cocktails to match the sunset that simply takes your breath away.

Bela Vista Hotel & Spa, Algarve, Portugal
Located next to the pristine beach of Praia da Rocha, the hotel was the first hotel to open in the Algarve region in 1934. And while it has since been joined by a dozen other high-end properties, its eclectic charm and intimate boutique feel are what keep it at number one. The hotel's original decor – painted wooden ceilings and colorful wall mosaics – has remained intact even in a recent renovation that updated the hotel with elegant and contemporary pieces. The highlight is without a doubt the outdoor freshwater pool surrounded by palm trees overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

The magnificent Elizabethan mansion was built in 1598 and once served as the home of horticultural pioneer William Robinson, who is considered the father of the English garden.
