This is truly a family-owned establishment that welcomes you into its heart. From the moment i entered the reception, I was invited to a seat around the fire with A-Bom's (i'm not sure how to spell his name, sorry!) parents and offered tangerines while the kids and nieces of the family gambol about. They welcomed me to dinner with them that night, and all in made me feel very at home.
The property is beautiful-- please spend some time exploring the grounds and enjoying the breathtaking views of the terraces (you can see them from your bed!!) and the adjoining valley and river. It's a short hike to a nearby suspension bridge and also the Hmong village. Location-wise it's about a 7km steady hike from town (4km drive), the roads are uneven so it's not necessarily a comfortable drive. I would suggest staying here as an escape from the bustle of town and as a starting point for exploring Lao Chai and Ta Van villages, and not as a point from which to explore sapa town itself.
I really wanted to extend my stay because the morning views were beyond gorgeous and the peace of the farmstay is indescribable. Will definitely be recommending this to friends!
