) Treading the thin line between hotel and top-end
hostel, the immaculate Casa Verde is a real home from home. Deservedly popular and
frankly underpriced for the quality of service, Belgian owner Rene almost bends over
backwards to be helpful and readers quite rightly sing his praises. Rooms are named after
Rene's children and grandchildren and are arranged around a small courtyard with a pool.
If you visit in winter you'll be thankful for the thick duvets.

) Samary
has an ambitious concept, reproducing a traditional Chuquisaca village in hotel form, and
it pulls it off surprisingly well. There's a plaza, a chapel and even a
chicherÃa
selling au-
thentic homebrew liquor. Rooms are of the highest standard, adorned with Yaluparaez tex-
tiles and replica rock carvings. Attention to detail is king here. Even the bread is baked
fresh every morning in a traditional oven on the breakfast terrace.
