AN OASIS of tranquility is what comes to mind at the Villa Manoly. The former mansion lies on the outskirts of Downtown Vientiane. The front building is from 1960 with an annex added much later. I stayed here for one night on the recommendation of a Swedish tourist. He couldn't have been more accurate. My room was huge and the idiosyncratic furniture suggested an atmosphere very much from the past.
