Nestled in a 22-hectare coffee plantation, the Mesa Stila Resort is one of Indonesia’s most magical hotels. At an altitude of 900m, the forest gives way to inspiring vistas from the villa-style rooms and a classically conical volcano looms over the neatly trimmed lawns and red-tiled joglos. It's some 12km southwest of Ambarawa; a taxi from town (60,000Rp) passes beautiful rice terraces.
Once the home of the Losari Coffee Plantation, this welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the region's busy thoroughfares offers an assortment of relaxing spa packages. There’s an organic garden that provides for the resort’s two restaurants, housed in beautiful pavilions, and the plantation’s organic tea and coffee are served each afternoon for residents in the historic Club House.
