Hotels | January 2011
Just like the pavone (peacock) who
prances around the gardens, this is one
beautiful little gem. The family-run B&B
features rooms with antique beds, while
the smart lounge makes for a great retreat
after a busy day out. Doubles from €60.

Bright and breezy, overlooking the beach,
this classic seafood eatery serves up
everything from its namesake clams to
fish soup and locally landed fish. Try the
grilled sea bass, washed down with a glass
or two of the local Trebbiano wine.
