Run by Roberto and Rumi in a renovated old farmhouse behind their sensational Earthworks Gallery, this is a wonderful place to stay if you don't mind a shared bathroom. The tatami rooms are gorgeous, as are the communal rooms. It's all very tasteful, as you'd expect from top ceramic artists. It's in the middle of the village, 500m from the station.
