Family hotels and homes in Sơn Tây

Room was good size with good bathroom and bed. Had everything we needed but location in general was a bit isolated however we did not mind as we used it as a stop over on our motorbike trip.

Beautiful building, and very friendly and helpful staff. She always tried to understand and communicate with me. Room was clean and beautiful.

I like paintings and art, so I chose this place to stay after seeing the room photos and was even more surprised because of the extremely unique architecture. I feel like living in a truly peaceful old house, everything in the room is like a very close village space, there are tickets to visit the painting exhibition, special breakfast, my friend and I really enjoyed it.

Breakfast was an eclectic selection of both local produce such as seasonal fruits, pastries and breads, an array of locally produced juices, steaming warm Vietnamese soup and eggs that are made to your liking. Ingredients such as onion, tomato, bacon, capsicum can be made into an omelette. The food was exceptional. Our tour guide and sustainability expert Ms Nhung had a wealth of knowledge when it came to the Ba Vi mountain ranges, with bespoke French Colonial ruins of stone dotting the landscape. Ms Nhung was generous with her knowledge of the plants, fruits and natural flora and fauna of the mountain. We picked and tasted herbs, strawberries, pomelo fruits and searched for ripe figs, albeit unsuccessfully. Well-educated and passionate, I recommend Nhung’s tour for those with business and leisure interests in environmental sustainable design. The facilities were also glorious - a gym with a bespoke rainforest view, an infinity pool, a recreational room with a billiards table, hire bikes, a spa. Every idiosyncrasy - the lemongrass scent of the bedroom, the lemon-infused drink upon arrival, the openness, nearby hikes to a bamboo forest, animal feeding, and the accomodating and smiling staff - just made our trip all the more special and memorable. Mr Antony, the manager, approached my partner and I personally and we welcomed an amicable morning conversation. I would recommend Melia Ba Vi to those seeking a calming retreat from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi and a visionary take on hotel sustainable design and excellent use of the natural surrounding landscape.

Hospitable hostess, delicious breakfast and dinner, surprise upon check-out

Host was so helpful! Always replying to messages and able to sort everything! The house is comfortable, the pool is clean and beds are comfy.

The location and all the little fun places they have created.

The staff were the only positive during the stay, they really went out of their way to accommodate us. We expected good facilities and nature to explore but disappointingly there was none of this and the staff kindly drove us to a nearby attraction.
