This boutique hotel offers a serene escape. Its large infinity pool seems to disappear into the rice terraces, while its eight bungalows are really quite luxe (not all have wi-fi). It's well run and the fusion cafe is excellent. The engaging owners will recommend walks among the coffee plantations and rice fields. It is just north of the village of Sanda.
