Fodor's Expert Review Tam Tinh Vien Homestay
Kiet 23 Nguyen Trong Nhan St., Hue, Thua Thien-Hue, Vietnam
Artful wooden garden house accommodations in a little oasis on the edge of the city, Tam Tinh Vien makes for a wonderfully relaxing base. It also doubles as a meditation center and part of the profits go toward supporting the village orphanage. Both of the imperial-styled rooms and mezzanine ones are comfortable and large enough for families. The first room type has beautiful en suite bathrooms come with both indoor shower and outdoor bathtub. Soulful French-Vietnamese cuisine is served in the exotic tropical gardens.
