rustic village
Quaint country settlement
A rustic village is a small rural settlement with a simple, old-fashioned character—thatched roofs, stone cottages, unpaved lanes.
The phrase often carries romantic connotations of pastoral charm and traditional ways of life: We stumbled upon a rustic village in the mountains.
Tourism marketing leans heavily on the term.
