DAO LODGE

Beautiful traditional mud house in the center of the village. It looks like a homestay, but in fact it's a kind of hotel with furnished rooms and a restaurant. Fireplace in winter. Comfortable, but you lose a little of the spontaneity of welcome that characterizes guest houses. Rates are obviously higher. Excellent traditional cuisine for dinner. The establishment practices overbooking: if it's full, you'll probably be directed to another nearby homestay run by the same family.
