The cabin

Built by hand, hung with dreamcatchers

Shangrila Rénao sits on Tandi hill, away from the road and its noise. The walls and roof are mostly glass, so the valley is in the room all day and the sky is in it all night.

Pine panelling runs across the ceiling and up the walls, a slate feature wall holds the paintings, and an emerald sofa faces the window. You get the whole cabin and the grounds around it.

“An imaginary remote home bustling with love and excitement, where life reaches perfection.”What “Shangrila Rénao” means, according to the hosts
