“Wood Palace Ella is an adventure, and I think that's part of its charm; the views are undeniably stunning, rewarding the climb down to the rooms, which are built into the landscape like luxurious nests. The family's warmth is everywhere, and the location, while requiring some effort to reach, offers a true escape from the bustle of Ella. I find the experience magical.”
