Chateau Chao Hotel

The rooftop is where I wanted to stay for hours, with hammocks, tables and a barbecue, and such lovely air, birdsong and the cuckoo in the background. We watched the sunrise and sunset with tea or wine. The rooms are freshly done and spotless, with their own bathrooms, big showers and good water pressure. Beds are comfy and the white sheets crisp. The window view is incredible, and there's a new lookout close by with an amazing panorama. They make their own wonderful wine, and you can ask for a homemade lunch for a small fee. There's ping pong and a garden swing too. The owners are so warm and friendly, and there's a sign off the highway to show you the way. It really feels like a fairytale up on this mountain.
