Fodor's Expert Review La Vita e Bella Beachfront Bungalows

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Perched on sand dunes above the sea, this small Italian resort has lodgings that are rustic but very comfortable. Roomy bungalows have palapa roofs, cement floors, balconies with hammocks, and wide ocean views; most have queen-size beds where the cleaning crew displays daily towel art. Smaller, less expensive cabanas are set farther away from the beach near the sandy-floored restaurant. If you want to cool off, you may have to take a dip in the ocean since only five rooms have air-conditioning.
