Fodor's Expert Review Bourazani Wild Life Resort

The old Bourazani hunting lodge has been revamped into this accommodating resort (more of a hotel/lodge actually), one of the few places to stay in this immediate region, which has been given over to nature; the only noises to be heard at night are the distant rustling of the river Aoos and the song of nightingales. The guest rooms are simple and cleanly finished in wood and stone. The owners can suggest plenty of interesting hikes, making this inn an ideal base to explore the area's treasures (such as the wildlife reserve and natural history museum). Fittingly, the restaurant showcases local foods; great dishes include a delicious carpaccio of venison, served with pear and Gruyere, and the interesting venison moussaka.
