Hotel Labanoras

Top choice in Lithuania


This charming hotel-restaurant takes you to the heart of rural Lithuania. The wooden house and outlying cottages (also rented out) are cosy and jammed with bric-a-brac, and the surrounding gardens are peaceful and (in season) watched over by abundant storks. The restaurant, serving whatever's available in the fields and forest, is also delightful (mains cost around €7 to €9).
