In the pretty seaside village of Valun, 14km (9 miles) southwest of Cres Town, this friendly, family-run B&B offers eight basic but comfortable rooms, all with sea views and most with balconies. Downstairs there’s a waterside terrace restaurant with potted geraniums, where an extensive breakfast is served—many guests opt for half board and enjoy a home-cooked dinner, too. There are a couple of decent pebble beaches nearby, so you can have a swim while your meal is prepared.
