A little paradise in Vietnam

Bungalow exterior, Juliet's Villa When looking for accommodation in Vietnam’s mountainous regions, travellers usually have to choose between comfort and proximity to nature: the former are mid-range hotels in highland cities; the latter are rustic homestays in the middle of the countryside. Juliet’s Villa Resort offers the best of both these options. The comfortable brick bungalows are many steps up from sleeping on the floor at a homestay, but the secluded, rural location, and the fact that it’s a family-run resort, means that it retains the intimacy and attachment to nature that homestays offer. It’s not yet a perfect synthesis, but it’s a great example of the kind of accommodation that I’d like to see a lot more of in the Central Highlands.
