Phơri’s House: A charming and peaceful homestay amidst Sapa.
If you're tired of resorts and beachfront resorts flooded with sunlight and want to find somewhere simple, serene, and spiritually uplifting, then why not visit Phơri’s House (lovingly called Phơri's Home) located in Tả Van, Sa Pa - a place where you'll feel right at home, and tranquility greets you each morning as you wake up to the vast hills and autumn colors.
Phơri’s House is a place of pure charm, created by a woman who embodies charm herself. That woman is none other than Ms. Hữu Lala. Those who adore Vietnamese ao dai fashion are surely familiar with this gracious hostess and her beloved Huulala ao dai brand. Why call it Phơri’s Home? Simply because “I like having a few houses on the mountains, here and there a bit, so if I or friends want to go on vacation, there's a clean, comfortable, and cozy home to stay in” - a wonderfully modest explanation from Ms. Hữu.
So, what makes this homestay interesting? Forget urban conveniences and glamorous landscapes, at Phơri’s, there's only a small stream flowing gently in front of the house, and on dry days, you can sit on a big rock outside to read a book. In the afternoon, you can take a short walk uphill, sit on a small terrace overlooking a terraced field and gaze at the vast staircase-like fields below, watching the evening mist rise. And that's enough. Enough for a few days of true relaxation, doing nothing, not thinking about work, just feeling whether the water is cold, those tiny flowers are probably nameless wildflowers, and going home to kiss your loved one feels as exciting as when you first met.
Discover the charming homestay with its unique details that will surely make you fall in love even more. Rest assured, there's no price surge during Tet and holidays. The kitchen is equipped with all cooking essentials for culinary enthusiasts. Fresh vegetables are available in the garden. Additionally, enjoy clean wine, tea, and coffee. Remember to minimize the use of plastic bags and bottles; opt for the provided fabric bags instead. And of course, properly segregate waste into 3 categories as per house regulations.
Take some time to admire the scenery at Ta Van, where you'll find lush terraced fields, clouds blending with the earth, and flora and fauna thriving everywhere. At the end of the day, return to the cozy warmth of your accommodation, nestled under charmingly patterned blankets thoughtfully chosen by your host – you'll find the feeling remarkably akin to being at home.
