Villa Astra

Of the many old villas for rent, one of the fanciest has six guest rooms in a tall old mansion surrounded by a beautiful fenced-in wooded garden that rolls gently downhill above the Lungomare promenade. A private beach, wellness and spa facilities include fancy extras such as saltwater isolation/sensory deprivation tanks. The restaurant, worth a trip on Its own, does the ‘gourmet vital menu’, a fancy vegetarian affair. But you can also find satisfying and perfectly healthy fare on the main menu, with dishes such as lobster and spaghetti and oven-baked rabbit, Cres lamb, goat and fresh fish.
