Seeking an adventure that transcends the norm? Sapa Tours Stay at Phori’s House welcomes you to the serene beauty of Ta Van Village, where rural charm, ethnic heritage, and sweeping mountain scenery combine to create an unforgettable experience. A departure from other Sapa Tours, this 2 or 3-day adventure is an opportunity to live among local people, sleep next to a gentle stream, and wake to misty rice fields under the canopy of Hoang Lien Son mountains. Carefully crafted by local specialists at Impress Travel, Sapa Tours Stay at Phori’s House is more than a trip; it’s your key to the heart of true Vietnam
Beyond the edge of Ta Van Village, where Sapa town’s pulsating heart lies only 8 kilometers away, is where the world slows down, if only slightly, and the world softens. That is Phori’s House, an oasis of simplicity, tranquility, and spirit. To those who wish for more than an inviting bed, Phori’s House in Sapa provides an entirely different experience: reconnecting to nature, local people, and you.
Phori’s House is founded on a vision, not on some large hotel chain. A designer who is passionate about Vietnam created this property as an actual “home”, where travelers, friends, and dreamers could come to be sheltered from the din of contemporary existence. Not for the masses of tourists. Built for those who love authenticity, by hand, with heart. That essence has never been lost even as it crossed borders across the world.
Situated on the serene corner of Muong Hoa Valley, nestled by towering mountainsides and hugged by terrace fields, Phori’s House stay is an effortless fusion of ethnic background and elegant simplicity. The patio gazes out into fields that shift with seasons, green with spring, yellow with fall, and misty with winter. Waking up is like stepping into an image, but one you’re welcome to inhabit.
The building is reminiscent of the H’mong people’s native homes made of wood and rock, but the interior is softened by light, woven fabrics, and understated touches made to be respectful of the land and its people. Each detail, even the bamboo bookshelves to the embroidered pillows, is imbued with meaning. This is not luxury as one normally defines it, it is thoughtful, soulful living.
What sets this place apart, however, is the way it is connected to nature. Outside your window, there is a soft stream, blending into the breeze through the bamboo grove. Birds sing, mists ascend, and the view extends into the untamed, wild heart of northern Vietnam. Sipping tea along the creek, reading under the tree, watching the clouds kiss the hilltops, every instant is space to breathe, to reflect, to be.
