While Lucy was working the camera, Ryan, 34, was hanging out with his little girl, 10, sharing sun-drenched snaps on his Insta story.
Filming from their villa balcony he focused on grazing cows in the foreground before switching to a picturesque coastal view.
He then went on a hike in the hills with Scarlett and took snaps in a pretty town with white-washed buildings.
They ended their day with their first barbecue of the year.

Lucy's day was spent on golden sands at the beach with her team. She took a well-earned lunch break and filmed her tasty tuna salad.
Former Corrie star Ryan doesn't need any help affording a holiday.
He is on track to be a millionaire again– six years after being declared bankrupt.
The actor was hit with a £40,000 tax bill he couldn’t pay after blowing his soap wages on an extravagant lifestyle.

But the 34-year-old, who played Jason Grimshaw on the ITV show, has managed to pay back every penny and now his performing arts firm has just filed accounts to show his impressive finances– with cash even salted away for HMRC.
Books filed to Companies House show his R. James Thomas Ltd firm has £247,493 in cash.
He’s due to pay the taxman £21,000 for his earnings in 2018.
The generous surplus is after his accountant took out expenses and cash Ryan paid himself as the firm’s sole director.
Ryan’s canny advisors negotiated a fee for him to appear on last year’s Celebrity Big Brother of around £500,000.

The cash has been rolling in since he won the show following the ‘punchgate’ row with ex-Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett.
He is now in demand for lucrative social media ad work, TV appearances and magazine interviews, meaning next year’s figures should see him heading towards being a millionaire.
The star also commands a six-figure deal for appearing in panto at Christmas.
Ryan, who quit Corrie in 2016 and has a daughter Scarlett with co-star ex Tina O’Brien, confessed he had no head for figures when he was on the Cobbles.
His wage was around £100,000 and he also commanded £2,000-a-time fees for personal appearances in night clubs.
