Such charm! Privacy, luxury and service are hallmarks of this lovely mudbrick Nubian-style structure built around flowering gardens with Jebel Barkal as a backdrop. It shelters 22 rooms that are elegantly furnished and decorated. Another draw is the superb restaurant (open to nonguests by reservation; set meals S£300), with refined Italian and Sudanese specialities.
