This village hideaway was closed for a major restoration on our last visit. Its planned reopening date is mid-2020. Beforehand its rooms (all in different shapes and sizes) were simply furnished with cedar-wood accents and modern bathrooms hidden in cupboards. There was also a good restaurant here. It's opposite Sille's main mosque.
