SANGO

This wooden villa is stunning, with a gorgeous view, a private outdoor sauna, and a fire pit on the veranda. Somehow it feels quiet and secluded despite being right beside the main road. Inside, everything was spotless and brand new, which makes sense since the place is very new as I'm writing this. There were more amenities than we expected, plus plenty of modern appliances, including a washer, dryer, and dishwasher. I especially liked the tatami hangout area in the upstairs loft overlooking the living space. It can also be used as extra sleeping space. Storage is limited, so luggage has to sit out in the open. The ground-floor bedroom doesn't lock, and there's nowhere to hang laundry. A drying rack would've helped, but we made do with the stair railings. Still an amazing place. I wouldn't be surprised if it's impossible to book by this time next year.
