apt €50-75; )

Hotel Conte
( 032-373 687;
www.hotel-conte.com
; apt €100-160; )
Conte is not so much a hotel as a
series of deluxe studio to two-bedroom apartments in historic buildings scattered around
St Nicholas' Church. The sense of age resonating from the stone walls is palpable, even
with the distinctly nontraditional addition of a jacuzzi and sauna in the flashest apart-
ment. It's worth paying €20 extra for a sea view.
