Adrian and Suzy are your kind hosts at this renovated 16th-century mansion, which consistently gets rave reviews. It's a romantic bolthole, with bougainvillea-draped gardens, a quiet pool and a restaurant in a converted 17th-century olive press. Stone walls, beams and the odd antique lend an authentic feel to the rooms and suites, some of which have four-poster beds and terraces.
It's not a hotel intended for children.
