With just the sound of pigeons cooing in the morning, this ultra-charming B&B in an 18th-century former schoolhouse has been creatively transformed by the German artist owner. There are three rooms, one with sun terrace, boldly colourful with evocative landscape photos on the walls. There are four plant-filled patios, and a hearty cooked breakfast is included in the price. It's just behind the church.
