Boutique homestay
Tucked between rice fields and slow mornings, Yên Homestay is a small garden-home built around one idea: rest. "Yên" means peace in Vietnamese, and that is exactly what we offer — soft light through open windows, the smell of fresh coffee, birdsong over the courtyard, and all the time in the world to do nothing at all. Stay a while. Breathe a little slower.
Accommodation
Three light-filled rooms, each finished in natural wood, soft linen, and handwoven textiles by local artisans. No two rooms are alike, but all of them come with crisp bedding, a slow shower, a reading nook for lingering, and a window that opens to the morning.
Our ground-floor double opening straight onto the courtyard garden. Wake to birdsong, step out to your own shaded veranda, and fall asleep to the quiet of the frangipani. Finished in natural wood and handwoven linen, with cool tiled floors underfoot.
An airy upstairs room beneath a sloped wooden ceiling, catching the warm afternoon sun. A writing desk by the window and a deep reading nook make it a favourite for slow travellers and quiet workdays alike.
Our snug double for two, tucked at the calm rear of the house away from every sound. Soft linen, a thoughtful welcome tray, and a window that opens onto greenery rather than the street — made simply for sleeping well.
Wellness
Stillness is a practice, not just a place. Each week we host gentle sessions in the garden and the meditation hall — led by local teachers and open to every level, whether you have practised for years or are simply curious. Join what calls to you, or do nothing at all; both are perfectly welcome here.
Greet the day with slow, flowing movement in the courtyard as the light comes up — a gentle practice to loosen the body, settle the breath, and wake without hurry.
Daily · 6:30am · Courtyard garden
A quiet sitting in the meditation hall, guided in soft voice, to let the mind grow still. Cushions, blankets, and all the time you need are provided.
Daily · 7:30am & 5:00pm · Meditation hall
Restorative sessions with singing bowls and breathwork led by a visiting practitioner — an unhurried hour to release what you've been carrying.
Tue & Sat · 4:00pm · By the lotus pond
Sit with us for a slow Vietnamese tea ceremony — warming the pot, pouring with care, and tasting the quiet between cups. A small ritual of attention.
Thu & Sun · 3:00pm · Tea pavilion
Soft, breath-led yoga beneath the wooden beams, suitable for every body. Move a little, rest a lot, and leave feeling lighter than you arrived.
Mon, Wed, Fri · 5:30pm · Meditation hall
A slow, silent walk through the bamboo and rice paths with the host — noticing the birdsong, the light, the feel of the earth, and nothing else at all.
Sat · 6:00am · Meet at the gate
Hospitality
We keep things simple and warm, with someone always nearby to look after the details. Wake to a home-cooked Vietnamese breakfast in the garden, borrow a bicycle for the village lanes, or settle into the shade with a book and a pot of jasmine tea. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
A fresh Vietnamese breakfast served each morning in the garden — phở, bánh mì, tropical fruit, and slow filter coffee or jasmine tea, made to order whenever you wake.
Reliable fibre Wi-Fi throughout the house and a shaded corner desk for the days you need to work — or simply to write a postcard home.
Borrow a bicycle any time to explore the village lanes, ride out to the rice fields, or coast down to the river at sunset. Helmets and a hand-drawn map included.
A shaded courtyard garden with frangipani, hammocks, and a bottomless pot of jasmine tea — plus quiet reading nooks tucked through the house for lingering afternoons.
Same-day laundry on request and crisp, line-dried linens in every room, so you can travel light and still feel looked after.
Airport and station pickup by arrangement, plus honest, first-hand advice on where to eat, walk, and rest — the best bowl of phở, the hidden trail, the spot to watch the sun go down.

Your host
Yên began as my grandmother's house, and in many ways it still is. I grew up tending this garden with her, and after years away in the city I came home to restore it room by room and open its doors to travellers looking for somewhere gentle to land. I cook breakfast most mornings, know every good noodle stall within walking distance, and will happily point you toward the hidden trails — then leave you to your peace and quiet. The best hospitality, I think, is simply paying attention. You'll be in good hands here.

Visit
We're a short drive from the old town, down a quiet lane lined with bougainvillea — easy to reach by taxi, motorbike, or our pickup service, yet far enough to feel away from it all. Write to us, message us anytime on WhatsApp or Zalo, or simply drop by for tea. The gate is always open, and the kettle is always warm.
