Villa Rosa

North Coast


The cafe and lounge area of this intimate, three-room, French-owned place is on the village's sandy beachfront. Other standout features include an above-ground plunge pool and a small thatch-roofed building with tastefully furnished rooms containing rainwater shower heads and cable TVs. Pasta and seafood are served up upon request, and kayaks and paddleboards are available for rent next door.
