My stay at Hillock Villa and Kalaw was a pleasant escape from the heat of the plains. Temperatures were significantly lower and thoughts turned from air conditioners to duvets. Hillock Villa is up a hill from the town, in a lightly wooded setting. The impression was positive from arrival, given the attractive buildings, grounds, and setting. My room in the main house was large, the bed was comfortable (and made with a duvet and a blanket!). The breakfast was tasty and filling with homemade bread, fruit, local options and eggs....and very good coffee. The walk into town is about 10 minutes. Definitely recommended!
