It also overlooks Ermones Beach, which you can reach by following the footpath or by hopping into a lift that will take you right to the sand. Once you’ve said ‘I do’, there’s a gourmet à la carte restaurant for wining and dining, and you can spend your first days as a couple relaxing at the outdoor pool, which comes complete with a boardwalk fringed by sunbeds, and panoramic mountain views.
