Villa Duflot

Perpignan


Although the building is blocky and modern, the huge, breezy rooms here have elegant upholstered furniture, terracotta floors and table lamps. The large unfenced pool is surrounded by a pine- and conifer-filled garden, but the downside is that diners at the poolside restaurant look directly into the rooms. It's 3.5km south of the historical centre amid industrial estates.

There are plans to add 30 rooms by 2020.
