I have setup a virtualhost like following
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Options Includes
AllowOverride All
</VirtualHost>
But always throws me
AH00526: Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-my-site.conf:
AllowOverride not allowed here
I'm a bit confused because I understand that is the right place to do it

It's because you have to put it in <Directory> directive.' .htaccess is per directory context, so you have to explicitly tell apache where .htaccess is allowed to be used.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Options Includes
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
