Old-fashioned looks
Wrapped up between three hills, San Lawrenz is a particularly pretty resort with an overwhelmingly rustic aesthetic. Think sun-faded, beige-hued architecture in a verdant wilderness. Magnificent domed buildings map out this little village, and there are some relaxed-vibe sunbathing spots close by for after you’ve pottered about, too.
