This place is as good as it gets for travelers looking for a trip of a lifetime. Firstly, the hosts Anh and Mai are so kind, attentive and friendly that the homestay is precisely how it feels, right at home. Actually, it's more like a 5 star hotel. The location is absolutely ideal in that it is at the end of the road overlooking a beautiful dam and river. It is the epitome of tranquil with the sound of birds to awaken you and giant white egrets to greet you. I absolutely loved the breakfasts served by Mai in their gazebo overlooking the river accompanied by delightful conversations about their wonderful country. This location is perfect if you want a break from the tourist hustle and bustle of Hoa An itself as it is only a few kilometers by bike or motorcycle through the rice paddies riding on pleasant levies. It gives the opportunity to enjoy the city but to return to peace and quiet where you can sit on the deck and read a book or make use of the incredibly fast WiFi. The surrounding area is great with the organic vegetable village literally a 100 meters away. The Waterwheel is a great spot to have lunch and take a cooking class if that is your thing. In the opposite direction to Hoa An is a great beach with restaurants, spas, juice bars and nice swimming. I rented a motorcycle from Ahn for the full 10 day duration of my stay as I like adventuring far and wide and really did see a lot more than the beach and the town. When I pointed out to Anh that the front treads on the tires were quite sketchy, within 1 hour he had replaced the tire with a brand new one. That is the kind of attentiveness he affords his guests. I challenge anyone to do a search of all the boutique hotels in this area that advertise the same type of qualities as this place but for 3 times the price and in not as secluded location. Thanks Anh and Mai for a very special time. It was my last stop on a 2 month trek and well chosen as a farewell to a great country.
