Satri House 
 

Built at the turn of the last century as a royal villa, Satri House's seven rooms are beautifully furnished with Southeast Asian antiques. Hidden away amid tropical gardens, this is the perfect romantic retreat and has a small cruciform swimming pool to while away a day.

Walking into the house is like walking into a gallery or antique shop and the theme continues into the rooms. Five of the rooms are set in the old house, including two suites upstairs with private access. Out in the garden are two more rooms with elegant Balinese-style bathrooms with the most outlandishly large bathtubs you are likely to see in Laos. All rooms feature elegant Lao textiles, old Buddhas and fine furnishings, giving it the feel of a homestay in an ambassador's residence. The lush garden includes a small restaurant for breakfast and other meals are available. Plans are afoot to add more rooms during 2006, but this shouldn't affect the harmony of the original house.

Author Tip
Inspired by all the beautiful antiques that surround you in Satri House? Head down to Th Sakkarin to browse the night market. You might not find such treasures, but this atmospheric street bazaar includes inexpensive textiles, lamps, saa paper products, cheap clothing and a few old pieces on offer from local minority tribes in the area.

Curious Fact
Satri House was originally the royal residence of Prince Souphanouvong, the so-called Red Prince who fought with the communists during the long civil war.
