Reserva esto si You want a peaceful Lanna-style sanctuary with a saltwater pool in the dead center of the Old City, just steps from Wat Phra Singh.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Unbeatable Old City location near Sunday Walking Street
- Saltwater pool in a lush, quiet central courtyard
- Traditional Lanna architecture that feels authentic, not generic
Resumen rápido: A charming and quiet oasis that's starting to show its age with dark rooms and occasional plumbing quirks.
Reseñado por @dfmarin: I found the most dreamy stone villa in Chiang Mai! Soaking in the private jacuzzi with the jungle all around us was unforgettable. It felt like a total fairytale escape from the city heat. Definitely a bucket list stay for couples looking for romance.
