A good deal for chill-seekers, the 10 cottages here are comfortable, practical (most have kitchens) and clean. They’re closely packed but buffered by lush gardens. Guests enjoy free use of snorkeling equipment, and there's a tiny pool. The nearest beach, Plage de la Caravelle, is a 1km walk away. Three-night minimum stay.
