VINTAGE VILLA IN THE HEART OF HANOI Situated near Truc Bach Lake and the Old Quarter, HOME is a 320-square-meter villa designed in a French style. Built in 1935, the villa has been preserved with its French colonial architectural features. Featuring 2 floors, 4 rooms and a spacious yard covered with green trees, HOME can serve up to 150 guests. Its owner’s vision is to create a space resembling a Franco-fied Hanoi at the turn of the 20th century, and he has collected tables and chairs that could furnish wealthy European living rooms. The nostalgic vintage style of HOME makes it a peaceful and serene space in the center of bustling Hanoi. At HOME, you can taste a wide selection of Hanoian cuisine. Its menu is designed from pieces of newspapers and consists of some of the best seasonal dishes, and from 9:30am to 11:30am every Saturday, the restaurant’s head cook guides guests through a free cooking class for some of HOME’s dishes.
