Former backpackers are now sending their own 18-year-olds to Francesco’s, which is still going strong. Rooms are spotless, hillside views are great and it’s within stumbling distance of Hora’s nightlife. There’s a roll call of happy-traveller features: bar, pool, cheap breakfast, free entry to Blue Note. From the square near Astra Bar, head up and left. It's near Midnight Cafe.
