    Lovely and helpful lady. Arranged very good drivers and food was delicious. Room is nice and with tuktuk you are quickly in the center. It feels like your in the middle of nature, but you are close to the city.

    Chaya manages the house perfectly and takes care of her guests with lots of love. We had a very good stay, an interesting cooking class and she made us very tasteful food on both nights. We were sorry to leave but will think of our stay with love.
