At Tả Phìn Cottage, if there’s someone who instantly makes guests feel welcome and at ease, it’s San. San is a member of the Red Dao ethnic group and was born and raised right here in Tả Phìn village. He now lives on the property with his wife and two young sons. Each day, you’ll find him quietly tending the garden, preparing meals, fixing things around the house, or making coffee for guests — all done with care and a quiet dedication. San is gentle, genuine, and deeply responsible. He doesn’t speak much, but he notices everything. Thanks to him, the Cottage always feels tidy, peaceful, and well cared for. He’s an excellent cook, and also skilled in making drinks — the kind of simple, home-style food and beverages that leave a lasting impression. What truly stands out about San is his natural hospitality. He treats every guest not just as a customer, but as a friend. Whether it’s a warm greeting in the morning, offering a drink on a hot day, or happily showing guests around the village, San’s way of welcoming people makes you feel like you’re visiting an old friend in the mountains. If you ever come to Tả Phìn Cottage, we hope you’ll get to meet San — and experience firsthand the quiet warmth and sincerity of the people who call this place home.
