Phong-Le Vent

My favourite place in Vietnam! It was a very friendly and pleasant atmosphere. We stayed here for 3 nights, everything was perfect, the accommodation, the food, the surroundings... Sa Dec is the city of flowers and there are many pagodas to visit in town. It is magnificent.

Genuine rustic homestay with welcoming family in cute thatched bamboo chalets overlooking a large pond. Climb the bamboo stairs to the bedrooms. Walk the gangplank to the dining room for delicious meals. Sa Dec is flower heaven and we loved the setting among all the flower nurseries. Hired a motorbike for a few hours which was great. A pushbike would be fine also as everything is flat. Frogs at night; no city noise! Reminds one how we don't need much in life to be happy!

Ensure you have their phone number of the family so your driver can find this delight. Some of the roads/laneways are motorbike access only so Google Maps no help. Also watch for taxi overcharging (as our friends found out).

Really special property made entirely out of bamboo in the middle of Sa Dec flower village. You’re surrounded by family plant/flower nurseries all around. The rooms are clean and very interesting looking. The property managers don’t speak any English but they are very nice and went out of their way to help me with anything I needed even though I also spoke no Vietnamese. They are incredibly kind. When I arrived by FUTA bus and couldn’t figure out how to get there, they coordinated for the local small bus service to drop me off and then one of the managers picked me up the rest of the way by motorbike. When I wanted to go into town/explore, they set me up with a bike for rent (50,000 VND. You can also rent a motorbike for 100,000 VND) because there is no Taxi/Grab easily available. The next day, I wanted to see Dong Thap. But again, it is quite far/the hotel is pretty remote so I needed a ride. It took a bit of calls with the owner/Google Translating with the manager, but they were able to set me up with a taxi in a nice clean car that took me around for the day. The room has a fan and is very cozy.

If you want to be out in nature with little access to much (but there is internet/Wifi!), then this is a great spot. If you want to explore Sa Dec, and especially Dong Thap, and don’t have your own car/motorbike it is a bit difficult. I ended up loving the bike ride through Sa Dec over the bridge to the Huynh Thuy Le ancient house but it was about a 30-45 minute ride. And while it was great to get a taxi, it cost 385,000 VND each way to get to the Lotus Pagoda and back. I loved my stay and they tried to help me as much as possible. But if you’re looking to explore, I’d plan rides ahead of time.

I was in Sa Dec for work and I booked accomodation at the last minute. There wasn't too many places available and this sounded the best of them. The owners were lovely and very helpful when I arrived and the place is basic but very charming.

I was travelling with a Vietnamese Colleague who had rented a car and he had to stay somewhere else in the end as he couldn't get his car to the property (roads are too narrow). If I was travelling for leisure the place would have been perfect but for travel on business it wasn't ideal as it was hard to get too and the facilities were a little basic.

Very adventurous site, difficult to find by the taxi;but check your message they will give you some information. They also rent bike and the surrounding area was very nice;

The bed comfortable could be improved; and also the selection for dinner/breakfast since the property is in the green and far from other restaurant etc.

Maison en Bambou is a very peaceful place in the middle of the Flower Village close to Sa Dec. the bamboo huts are very comfortable. The hosts are super friendly and helpful in getting there and getting further.

I really loved the atmosphere in the guesthouse. The couple were very friendly. It felt like we were in jungle, we had a bamboo bungalow with a private bathroom. Area around the guesthouse is amazing ( it's a huge garden). It is located near the gardens so you need to take a taxi from town. I recommend the guesthouse for everyone who likes this kind of adventure. They have their own fishing lake so everyone can fish..

It was difficult to find. A set of instructions for taxi drivers would be helpful.

The Bambou property is an absolute recommendation, we liked the tranquility, the overall relaxing atmosphere and especially the kindness of mr, Phong and his wife. The natural pool, the possibility to fish and help at the nearby farm made it an unforgettable experience on our trip.
