Nice resorts with apartment/villa accommodation (Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Greek islands)?

We usually go for a villa type holiday abroad, but DH is keen to try more of a resort based holiday where we have independent accommodation (villa or apartment with our own space) but within a complex that has a pool, restaurant(s) and located in walking distance of amenities etc. He likes to be able to walk to grab a coffee/lunch etc and also to have restaurants nearby for eating out. It’s not the type of thing we’ve ever booked so I’m a bit bewildered where to look! I know what I’m doing just finding and booking a nice villa but often they are a bit more remote/a drive to cafes etc. DC are 12-17. Don’t necessarily want a lively/full on resort, something a bit quieter and fairly civilised! Prefer self catering to hotel and for us to have some privacy whilst also the benefits of some amenities on site/nearby. Any recommendations please?

Thanks both, will take a look at these! We don’t know Portugal at all really, but anyone I know who’s been has loved it.

The hotel Milini in Milini a few km from Dubrovnik Croatia. Lovely coastal small town , quiet with a gentle buzz. Its sister hotel had apartments, close to waters edge with lovely view and regular sea taxi along coast to equally pretty places. I was v impressed with just how lovely it all was. Cheap Ubers into Dubrovnik too!
