The 82-room Hotel Village Montana is an upper-middle-range property near Tignes' slopes and town. Interiors have traditional, rustic-chic chalet style touches that gives this kid-friendly hotel a cozy vibe. Furnished balconies offer gorgeous views and rooms with separate bunk bed areas are ideal for families. Modern in-room amenities include flat-screen TVs, safes, and bathrobes, but no fridges or kettles. Resort-like features consist of a full spa and heated outdoor pool, although the latter gets crowded and there's no gym. Alpine enthusiasts appreciate the convenient ski setting, and summer guests get cheap passes to nearby sports activities. The cozy lounge bar has double fireplaces and two restaurants have outdoor terraces overlooking magical snow-capped peaks.

The upscale Hotel U Capu Biancu enjoys a spectacular but isolated hillside setting that gently slopes down to its two private beaches on the Gulf of Santa Manza. This stylish boutique hotel takes advantage of the great views, with lots of seating tucked into the terraced hillside. Its 42 rooms and suites have private patios or balconies with lovely views as well. The comfortable rooms are individually decorated in a distinctive, rustic-chic fashion that incorporates natural materials like stone and weathered timbers, but some guests have found the unusual room configurations unappealing. Amenities include an infinity pool, spa, fitness center, and fine-dining restaurant that, like the hotel itself, is quite expensive. A less pricey option closer to Bonifacio is the upscale A Cheda, which also has individually-decorated rooms.

The upscale A Cheda is a distinctively original boutique hotel set in a charming private Mediterranean garden filled with winding stone paths, fountains, and lush landscaping. It’s quiet and relaxing -- if a bit isolated -- but it's still less than 10 minutes from bustling Bonifacio. Features include an expensive gourmet restaurant, a lovely heated pool and whirlpool, and a mini-spa offering massages and other treatments. The 16 rooms are individually decorated and have chic bathrooms; some units even have their own saunas. Rates are competitive, but can be a bit elevated in high season. For a nearby option with its own beaches, travelers can consider the upscale U Capu Biancu, but expect to pay more.
