This attractive and welcoming guesthouse has 10 cheerfully painted rooms, a book-filled lounge, and a restaurant with seats in a small courtyard. The rooftop deck, though, is the best feature, and a fine spot for tapas and sunset cocktails – plus occasional events like film screenings and music jams.
