Hotel de Toiras and Villa Clarisse

Discriminating travelers to this UNESCO World Heritage–designated town are faced with quite a dilemma — whether to stay at the five-star Hotel de Toiras or its sister property, Villa Clarisse. The Relais & Châteaux Hotel de Toiras — an enchanting 17th-century residence, enviably positioned at the port’s entrance — has been imaginatively restored, with 20 individually appointed rooms and gallery-worthy artworks; La Table d’Olivia is famed for its fresh cuisine. Not far away, and in the town’s center, the updated, 18th-century Villa Clarisse holds its own with nine spacious guestrooms, heated pool and hidden garden.
