Fodor's Expert Review La Perouse

Just past Old Town, at the foot of the town's château, this secret treasure cuts into the cliff (an elevator takes you up to reception), and the best rooms—including Raoul Dufy's favorite—not only have views of the azure sea, they also look down into an intimate garden dotted with lemon trees. A complete overhaul of the interior in 2023 embraced a bohemian bamboo vibe, making you think twice about leaving the room for a drink at the patio bar or a dip in the cliff-side pool. An excellent on-site restaurant serves meals year-round in a candlelit garden.
