My Retreat Hien Van

My Retreat Hien Van is a 200-year-old traditional house nestled in a tranquil Northern Vietnamese village—where time seems to stand still and life flows at a gentle, peaceful pace. Tucked among lush gardens, a lotus pond, a fresh-water well, and green areca trees, the retreat preserves the original charm of ancient Vietnamese architecture with moss-covered tiled roofs, earthen walls, and resilient xoan wood frames that have withstood the passage of time.

Each guest room—poetically named Nhài (Jasmine), Sen (Lotus), or Bưởi (Pomelo)—is a delicate blend of nostalgic beauty and modern comfort. Inside, you’ll find traditional wooden furniture like antique daybeds, carved tea tables, and sunlight filtering softly through old wooden windows—bringing a rare sense of serenity and warmth.

Here, you can leisurely cycle under shady bamboo-lined village roads, pick fresh vegetables from the garden to cook a soulful countryside meal, or simply sit under the porch, listening to the birds and the wind whispering through the leaves. My Retreat Hien Van is not just a place to stay—it’s a place to return to, to reconnect with youthful memories, and to slow down in a world that never stops rushing.
