Italy
A small B&B in the centre of Forio whose atmosphere is a sort of Marrakesh meets India (with a hidden garden thrown in). The host is very friendly and knowledgeable about the island, breakfast is generous and there's a small kitchen if you wish to test your culinary skills in situ. Rates are excellent too.
It's a quiet, well-run hotel within easy reach of Panza village. Excellent seafood straight out of the sea. Sits on a rocky outcrop with excellent views, well away from noisy mopeds.
A great hotel slightly off the beaten track with great food and owners. They don't speak English so Daily Mail readers need not apply. The food is great and all locally produced. Great if you like good food and escaping to relaxing climes.
