Totally renovated, this once supremely tacky hotel now has seven perfectly designed, sleek, modern bungalows, each with stupendous valley views from their generous balconies. It's a delightfully isolated 8km from Ella, and run by the efficient Cafe Chill team. Chill Ville opened in 2017, and the owners plan to renovate the on-site restaurant and open a yoga shala.
A three-wheeler from Ella is about Rs 400.
