An interesting and active sky this late afternoon. Not to mention the kingfishers darting around looking for dinner.
Last night in Hoi an
When you visit Hoi An you will recognize that there are so many charming spots to sustain your sweet moments; many golden alleys, cafes, restaurants and ancient buildings. So many colors and histories, and you can write your own stories too.
From Hoi An with love.

This year the riverside mango tree just grew on one side. Maybe the mango would like to just sit here and see the river dance!
With recent renovations, Casa Rio's traditional wooden pillars have been retro-fitted and incorporated into the custom carpentry shelving, reshaping the room and leaving a heightened sense of spaciousness. The wooden pillars are made from sustainably and locally harvested jackfruit wood, originally transported by river from the northern reaches of the Thu Bon watershed. Jackfruit has been cultivated and harvested in Vietnam for centuries as a highly nutritious "miracle fruit" that is hardy and requires minimal irrigation. . . . #vietnam #hoian #hoianholidayhouse #holidayhouse #customdesign #customkitchen #homedecor #staycation #vacationhouse #vietnam #jackfruit #sustainability #woodworking

An expansive marble counter-top and adjoining peninsula bar provides ample space for preparing and presenting your favourite dishes and drinks. On-site cooking classes can also be arranged.
Guests receive a complimentary welcome package of food and beverages, tailored to their taste, to help get settled in to their home in Hoi An. We also liaise with Hoi An's organic farming community, bakeries, delicatessens and other food suppliers to provide an easy and convenient food ordering service, offering a range of Vietnamese and Western supplies - from local fruits, vegetables and traditional noodles, to homemade baked goods and imported specialty items.

Riverfront Setting
One of the most striking features of Casa Rio is its location facing the Do River - a wondrous ecosystem of Nipa palm mangroves and brackish water habitats...cycling nutrients, mitigating impacts from climatic events (floods and erosion), and supporting the life cycles of a range of birds, fish, reptiles and other animals. Relax at the riverside at sunrise or dusk and spot kingfishers, finches, herons, lizards, frogs and many more species. The riverside also provides an enchanting setting for meditation, such as Mindfulness of Sound, Walking Meditation, Body Scan and Open Awareness.
Garden
The garden at Casa Rio has been cultivated with tender loving care and is just simply enchanting to be around. With over 30 types of roses, orchids and other plants, guests can’t help feel even that much more serene and grounded in their special holiday place.
Guests are invited to enjoy fresh produce from Casa Rio’s back yard organic garden, offering a variety of seasonal and year-round vegetables, fruits and herbs, including: eggplant, tomato, cucumber, long beans, basil, dill, cilantro, chilies, limes, kumquat and more. Use these in your favourite dishes including new recipes you have picked up in Hoi An.

Other Adventures
The Hoi An tourism industry has really taken off in recent years, and so it can be challenging for visitors to navigate the noise and traffic and to be assured the services or places they have picked are worthwhie and legit. We are always available and happy to share with guests our insights, tips and suggestions...no strings or heavy sales pitches attached.
That said, we do collaborate with a select group of Hoi An's most accomplished and highly-rated independent tour guides and tour operators to offer other optional itineraries for guests (at discounted prices compared to booking directly) including:
Sustainability
We are committed to preserving nature and the environment and to supporting initiatives and programs that promote conservation, support climate change adaptatio and mitigation, and reduce ecological footprints.

Casa Rio decor and soft furnishings features eco-friendly, 100% hand-loomed natural h**p, indigo batik and vintage fabrics. These exquisite textiles are ethically and sustainable sourced from ethnic minority producer groups (Hmong, Red Dzao, Black Thai) in Vietnam via Villagecraft Planet - a social enterprise that uses a unique incentives-based model for improved market access, environmental conservation, women's empowerment and protection of cultural heritage among Vietnam's hilltribe communities.

About Casa Rio
Thank you for considering Casa Rio for your private house accommodation in Hoi An. The hosts of Casa Rio are wife-and-husband Huong Hoang and Keith Symington...long-time residents of Hoi An. Keith is Canadian and has lived in Vietnam since 2004, working with WWF and other NGOs and global agencies in the field of biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. Huong is from Haiphong, Vietnam, and has been the co-owner and designer at Villagecraft Planet / Natured Designs (a social enterprise specializing in eco-friendly and ethically-sourced textile in Vietnam) since she founded the company in 2010. They have two wonderful daughters, Nina (2009) and Sam (2014).
We love to travel, and wanted to design a holiday house for kindred spirits, whether solo adventurers, honeymooning couples, families with kids etc. We’ve been fortunate to have done a fair bit of traveling - in different styles and modes - and understand that while many traveling realities and needs are universal, each kind of traveling style has its own unique set of criteria for the best experience.
And so we set out to establish Casa Rio as the kind of pilace we would like to stay at - a classy, cozy and peaceful private home; adorned in traditional folkart and tasteful decor with a critical eye for detail; conveniently located close to all the must-do places and experiences (but yet providing full tranquility when at home); super-convenient for families with kids but also designed with a view to hosting solo adventurer travelers, romantic holidays and honeymooners, team building retreats, nature explorers, wildlife viewing enthusiasts and wellness travelers. From our own collective traveling experiences and our longtime connection with Hoi An, we want to offer international travelers a charming, fully self-contained and accomodating place to “come home” to...and managed professionally with hands-on support including offering practical tips and guidance for any who may seek such information.
Wishing everyone joyous and safe travels in Hoi An or wherever life’s adventures and curiosities take you.
