“This chic, intimate hotel exudes old-school charm. The peachy façade, blue shutters and sea view rooms are utterly picturesque. Elegant bedrooms have a traditional feel, yet are fresh and unfussy. Perfectly located in the heart of the postcard-pretty town this is a convenient and stylish stay.”

Welcome Hotel
Welcome to stylish, old-school charm on the seafront. Poet and painter Jean Cocteau loved the hotel so much he moved in, enchanted by the light, the Italianate façade and the fishermen repairing their nets on the quayside. It’s still the same – in a port that could have been dreamt up by Hollywood.
