This three-storey villa on the main hill into town has been given a sensitive and stylish refit, from soothing grey paints to louvred window shutters, Villeroy and Boch showers and delightful little walled garden. All the rooms are nice: a sea view costs between £20 and £40 extra. Two apartments offer good value for families. There's even parking (hallelujah!).
