commanding panoramic sea views. It's small (only 23 beds in three dorms and one private
room) and facilities are basic, but manager Francesco is a helpful and friendly guy, beds
are comfortable and there's a communal kitchen. No breakfast.

Built in 1902, the jaw-droppingly pretty Villa Belvedere was one of the
original grand hotels, well-positioned with fabulous views and luxuriant gardens, which
are a particular highlight. There is also a swimming pool with a 100-year-old palm tree
rising from a small island in the middle.

Boasting a
prime position on the main drag, this welcoming hotel is one of the few located in the
Borgo Medioevale and one of the few to remain open year-round. It's a modest affair with
bright, unfussy rooms and a small breakfast terrace overlooking the crenellated Palazzo
Duca di Santo Stefano.
