It is set in the vast stony and dramatic Tigray region of northern Ethiopia. Italian-owned Gheralta Lodge makes a truly delightful base for visiting the area’s extraordinary rock churches. The lodge has gentle charm, even if it is a little faded, and it also has a welcoming and immediately relaxing atmosphere.
