Corso Vittorio Emanuele II 16; s €30-40, d €60-80)
Located in
the 18th-century (rather than medieval) part of town, Le Sole Blu only has one room
available: it's large and has a separate entrance, but the bathroom is tiny. However, the
two self-catering apartments nearby are excellent value.

La Terra
( 0831 33 66 51;
www.laterrahotel.it
; Via Petrarolo; d €130-170; )
This former 13th-century
palace offers atmospheric and stylish accommodation with original niches, dark-wood
beams and furniture, and contrasting light stonework and whitewash. The result is a cool
contemporary look. The bar is as cavernous as they come - it's tunnelled out of a cave.
