Indicative prices for two people, checked when written: the price on the day depends on the season and your dates, so check it on the booking link. A deliberately short selection: a few checked places per budget and per stop, not a directory. The "more hotels" link opens the full Booking search for the same town, on the same dates. Some links are affiliate links: we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.
