Le Rêve stands where Drymades starts to climb, a few minutes' walk up from the coast road. It is a modern house of three floors: greige render, black-framed glass, walnut behind the beds and dry-stone walls around a lawn of olive trees. Two of its three room types look out to sea; the third faces the garden and the mountains.

Breakfast is a buffet, set out along live-edge boards on the terrace: white cheese, tomato and cucumber, olives, cereals, pastries, honey and jars of jam, with rosemary laid between the bowls. The roof is reed on timber, the lamps are jute, and an olive tree leans over the bar.

There is a bar on the terrace and another beside the pool.
