“Phou Vao's hilltop calm”
La Résidence Phou Vao is an exceptional-value beautiful stay — spacious dated-but-well-maintained great rooms, an amazing infinity pool rising on a fantastic hill above town yet close to the night market, a very good breakfast plus a cosy slightly-dear worth-a-visit restaurant (Western-leaning refined dinners), a well-done spa, airport-station-and-attraction shuttles — the pickup van carries drinks, snacks and chilled towels — and super warm thoughtful eager-to-please service; guests stay several days. Caveats though: the restaurant and spa sit on the pricier side.
