From the moment we arrived, we loved Orchid Garden Villas. We were greeted by Flower (such a fabulous host) who served us a cold juice and homemade pancakes whilst giving us a map and talking us through some sights that we may want to visit during our stay. Then we were shown to our room - or villa, through the lovely gardens and past the immaculate swimming pool. Absolutely beautiful. We had an upstairs villa with balcony and a sitting room, 2 bathrooms (!) and a beautiful bedroom with a very comfortable, large, traditional wooden bed. Breakfast was excellent (fresh fruit and then a wide choice from the menu, freshly cooked to order). We sampled most options within our weeks’ stay and all were delicious - fried eggs with bacon chopped and cooked into them, omelettes, pho, Hoi An sandwich etc. The fresh Passionfruit juice is beautiful! Each day we took out the free bikes and either cycled 20 minutes through the paddy fields to An Bang beach (great beach, lots of restaurants, sunbeds etc) and such a nice cycle ride, or we cycled 5-10 minutes into the old town. You can lock the bikes anywhere and just wander at your leisure.
Flower also recommended Ylang Ylang spa (quite nearby to the villa, and outside of the old town) - we tried it once and visited 3 times during our week - the best massages/treatments we’ve had so far in 3 weeks around Vietnam! Restaurant recommendations were equally good! Flower and Sarah are so nice. This is the best place to stay in Hoi An!
