Villa Vista - Highlands Home

This was our favorite place in all of Vietnam. The large house has 4 or 5 rooms that overlook the city of Dalat. The hosts, Tim and Huang, were the best! The house is furnished with gorgeous heavy furniture, the rooms big and comfortable, and even the sheets were magical. Tired from traveling, we ordered a pizza and bottle of wine (yes, not very Vietnamese) and just enjoyed the view. Tim had wonderful recommendations and arranged a tour guide/driver for us. Don't miss Tim's Egg Benedict for breakfast. It's the best in the world!

The best place we stayed in Vietnam! Such a beautiful place with stunning views, the friendliest and most helpful staff, delicious breakfast ... absolutely recommend this for your stay in Da Lat!

The room was appointed beautifully. The bed was extremely comfortable, the most comfortable bed we have had in our 3 weeks of traveling! The location was absolutely amazing. The view was gorgeous and very romantic. Tim and the staff were amazing and anticipated our every need. They made suggestions for everything and were spot on! I would go back time and time again!

There is nothing we didn’t like.

Everything at Villa Vista exceeded our expectations by a long shot. The villa is beautifully presented with breathtaking views and exceptional levels of cleanliness throughout. The staff are all very welcoming, to the point where it feels strange calling them 'staff' as they really felt more like family. We had many interesting chats with Tim, who was always happy to help out and go the extra mile. It's true what everyone says about the breakfasts - they are outstanding and waking up to it everyday makes you feel like royalty. We highly recommend hiring a scooter to explore the countryside, which Villa Vista offers at a vey reasonable price. The bed and sheets are so comfortable and you will feel as though you're sleeping on a cloud. This is probably one of the only places you will find in Vietnam that offers free laundry, minibar goods (instant noodles, tea, coffee, beers and water - restocked daily) and breakfast. How can you say no to that?! We ended up extending our 4 night stay by an extra 2 nights after only an hour at the Villa - we wish we stayed even longer! This way by-far the highlight of our trip around Vietnam. We miss our hosts already and can't wait to return one day.

This really wasn't a negative for us (in fact, it was a massive positive) but there is a lovely dog named Jackson who lives at the villa. Please don't feel intimidated by his wolf-like appearance if you aren't a dog person; he really is a big softy. He may bark at you when you first arrive but don't worry at all, he's just a little over-protective :)
