Around 6km from Hue in Long Ha village, tranquil and delightful Tam Tinh Vien is called a homestay but is really a delightful boutique guesthouse. Arrayed around a small pool and verdant garden, spacious villas with four-poster beds are imbued with a chic Asian aesthetic. Borrow a bike to make the 30-minute journey into Hue – a taxi is around 100,000d.
Run by a Frenchman and his Vietnamese wife, the guesthouse owners also look after a large number of local orphans.
