Hugging the headland as you drop into cute Sant'Angelo, this chic little number is a soothing blend of creamy furnishings, whitewashed walls, contemporary art and bold paintwork. The uncluttered bedrooms sport dazzling tiled floors, modern bathrooms and enviable balconies overlooking the sea. There’s a good, unfussy restaurant across the lane.
