If you're seeking a base in lovely Vilaflor, this place is pretty good value, especially if you bag one of the rooms with a terrace. Shiny tiles, canary-yellow walls and tidy (albeit small) bathrooms are all part of the package. The downstairs bar and restaurant is a favourite spot with locals and rates high in atmosphere and home-cooked-style cuisine, though the service is rushed.
