Situated in Lao Cai, Vĩ Homestay features accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Guests can make use of the sun terrace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the mountain and garden.

We were welcomed heartily into the homestay by the family. We were served a home made dinner upon arrival, we just had a 3 hour bike ride from Sapa and the host placed a heating lamp in our room. If you want an authentic feel of life here and are planning to go to the Bac Ha market nearby, this is thé place to go. All communications went through Google Translate by the family's oldest son, as they speak no English.

    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 !

    Peaceful surroundings in the middle of the ricefields, away from busy roads. Helpful host couple. Nice with possibilty to have dinner with the family. With the help of google translate communication works fine. When arriving and walking the 200 m from the taxi to the house you will probably be approached by local girls wanting to sell crafts. Wait with buying from them. The hosts mother has a little shop in the homestay. Maybe you want to purchase from them instead.

    Our stay was such a great experience. Being with our local H’mong hosts was a great cultural experience, and we are grateful to them for serving such large traditional meals and educating us on their history and language. The homestay is located in the mountain valley and we enjoyed walks up and along the peaks of the mountains that surrounded jt. We would return to this beautiful location without a doubt.

    Super nice homestay with a great view and the possibility of some peace and quiet away from classic tourist areas. The owners are very nice and cook the best chicken we have had in 4 weeks of Vietnam. We got traditional vietnamese breakfast and different ones for each day. Kitchen 11 points! Any other request was also taken very well like renting a motorbike and laundry service.

    We loved everything about this property! If you are looking for beautiful scenery away from the Sapa action, Ta Van is a wonderful place and Tavan Dragon House is an amazing Homestay! Our host was so friendly, helpful and generous. Her food was amazing! We felt welcome into her Homestay immediately. She also found us an amazing guide for an exceptional trek into the mountain and the beautiful rice fields. I cannot recommend this Homestay enough!
