The Sersale family’s summer home was turned into this spectacular hotel in 1951, and is still run by descendants of the original brothers.

‘Wholeheartedly recommended’ by Guide readers, this elegant four-star B&B hotel is on six floors, with lovely terraces and splendid views (‘even from the bathrooms’), and located high above the sea (there are 300 steps down to lovely Incanto beach). 

What Casa Buonocore may lack in amentities such as a pool or direct beach access, it more than makes up for with beautiful country-chic interior design and intimacy.
