SUPERB PANORAMIC VIEWS
It’s generally regarded as the go-to hotel when you’re visiting Lalibela. Especially if you appreciate simple style, superb panoramic views and extraordinary sunsets.
There are wonders at Lalibela. The first, and most famous, are the fabled rock hewn churches that stretch back over centuries; the scene of countless religious rituals and ceremonies that have characterised the Christian faith in this remote corner of Africa. As a visitor you’ll find them quite unlike anything you’ve witnessed before. Especially if you’re visiting Bete Giyorgis, or the Ashetan Maryam Monastery, hidden away in a huge cave.
The Mountain View Hotel combines simple charm with modern comfort and is a good place to stay if you’re visiting Lalibela on your tailor-made holiday to Ethiopia. The second wonder? The views, sunsets and sunrises provided by the hotel’s pre-eminent position, 2680 metres up in the Lasta Mountains.
