On the approach to Beli, this attractive place has 12 comfortable rooms upstairs and a fine rustic restaurant (mains 55KN to 175KN) below, where great chunks of meat are barbecued. Fish, pasta, risotto and superb organic salads are available, too. Staff can also organise various adventure activities, from griffon-vulture-watching to mountain climbing.
