Fantastic two-bedroom apartment directly behind the Duomo in the centre of Ortigia, a UNESCO world heritage site.

You simply can't be more surrounded by ancient history, yet the apartment itself is full of mod-cons and has a secluded roof terrace. Five minutes' walk from the Lido.

I've not done the whole villa thing before but with 6 of us on holiday this worked out at about £100/person for the week. Italian Breaks is run by Cristina, a Sicilian ex-pat, so just about every nook and cranny on the island is covered and we had the best value for money holiday for a long time. Recommended!

The best fish restaurant in London, owned and run by the family who also have the fishmongers next door. Completely unassuming in unfashionable Finsbury Park - if you don't know about it you'll never go there and that's part of what makes it so great.
