Cool white elegance is the stock-in-trade of this hospitable family-run hotel with arched arcades. Lower rooms open onto both the front porch and the inviting garden-pool-Jacuzzi area (reason enough to stay); top-floor chambers have mountain views and even more space. All have fridge and microwave; suites sleep four. The owners are helpful and put on a wonderful homemade breakfast.
