Palais Somba

Benin


'Palace' might be pushing it a bit, but this venture is something special, blending African touches with European levels of comfort. All the bungalows, which are arranged around a leafy compound, are embellished with paintings made by a local artist. The garden is compact but easily one of the nicest in Nati. There's an on-site restaurant, with a limited selection of simple dishes. It's in a quiet area.
