Khiva


This mud- and brick-walled B&B is located right in the heart of the Ichon-Qala (the entrance is around the back). There are just three renovated rooms, and a large roof terrace with a fine view of the Kalta Minor. For more privacy and comfort but less traditional charm, opt for their clean and modern annexe.
