Spend one day at Le Bleu and you'll see it's not necessary to go any further to find tranquility since happiness radiates from each corner of the house, from the soft bed and the sunny balcony to the fresh colored leaves and flowers. Curl up on a couch with a good book, sip your hot tea, listen some melodies, and your day just passes peacefully as all the stressful and mundane facts of life slip away. There are occasional workshops held by Le Bleu and if you are lucky enough, you will have a chance to be an "apprentice" and learn skills such as how to make perfume or write calligraphy. Le Bleu's guests come from around the world, and once they visit, they want to come back again and again. Some Hanoi locals also enjoy spending their days here, just to "losing" their life in the intimate yet stylish space of Le Bleu. Unlike a hotel or a coffee shop, Le Bleu Homestay is a great getaway for you to "escape" from the bustling city life. Stay here, live slowly, and savor each moment as though drinking tea with your book in hand as you contemplate the gentle beams of sunlight shining through the window slits is the most serious part of your day.
