A throwback to another era, this conveniently located salmon-pink pensione has been run by the Sciglio family for seven decades. Its low prices reflect a lack of recent updates, but the inviting lounge, pretty gardens (complete with olive trees and potted geraniums) and the sea views from the breakfast terrace offer a measure of charm you won't find elsewhere at this price. Breakfast costs €4.
