Tucked between the churches of St Stephen and St George and commanding wonderful sea views from its upper floors, this upmarket but casual hotel is a delightful option for a romantic break. The individually decorated rooms are comfortable and elegant; some have sea-facing balconies. There's a magnificent vaulted foyer lounge, a breakfast room overlooking the harbour and a rooftop jacuzzi.
