For travellers in search of an experience, nothing says authentic country-living like a stay at a private, working farm. Hosts may offer interactive kid-friendly activities or, for couples, a cosy haven in an original/converted farmhouse. Breakfast is often included — you may be collecting the eggs yourself!
Staying with Pe and his lovely family on their farm/homestay was one of the best and most authentic experiences in Vietnam for us. They were very kind and you get to know them and their culture over dinner. The food was good, fresh and there was always plenty for everyone. We stayed 4 nights and loved every second of it. The trekking we did with them was beautiful as well.
It is really rustic. But if you don’t mind what makes this stay particularly great is the very friendly family as well as the peaceful location. The brothers are great guides, too. If you’ve seen all the rice terraces and don’t mind a bit of sweat I highly recommend a guided hike in the forest, up the other side of the valley. This is how I pictured Vietnam before I went there (apart from the rice fields).
Our stay at Sapa Hillcrest Homestay was perfect. Pe Thao and his family welcomed us with open arms in their farm. We could really feel as part of the family.
Stay here if you want to live an authentic Vietnamese experience in Sapa.
The view is incredible.
Pe Thao can help you for anything (taxi, hiking tour …)
You can go there by walk is you are a bit sportive 😉 (1h from Sapa).
Thanks !
This was our favorite stay in Vietnam. The property sits in the gorgeous Hmong Hoa valley right on a rice farm with more terraces in the view. A couple of waterfalls within view as well. Also a 1 min walk from the local village.
The hosts are wonderful and treat you like part of the family. They are working on their English still but that didn’t effect our experience. They were so kind and accommodating. We would most definitely stay here again!
The family is really nice. It was exactly what I expected from a rural homestay. They did not speak really well english, but they will make everything to satisfy you and help you.
