Local Attractions

Three must-visit attractions are easily accessible from Bella House:

• Thiên An Hill: Just steps from the property, this lush, low-elevation hill is famous for its winding walking trails, sweeping views of Huế’s Perfume River valley, and the atmospheric 17th-century Thiên An Pagoda. It’s a popular spot for sunrise hikes and quiet picnics away from the city.
• Huế Imperial Citadel: Located 20 minutes’ drive from Bella House, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the heart of Vietnam’s royal history, with sprawling fortified walls, ornate palaces, and the iconic Noon Gate. Explore the hidden tombs of the Nguyen Dynasty emperors within the complex to immerse yourself in centuries of Vietnamese history.
• Khai Dinh Tomb: A 25-minute drive from the property, this striking Nguyen Dynasty tomb blends Vietnamese and French architectural styles, featuring intricate mosaic work made from broken porcelain and glass, and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

Travel Tips

Book your stay during the dry season (February to August) to make the most of the outdoor pool and hilltop walks. If you plan to explore central Huế daily, book a Grab taxi or rent a motorbike in advance – the property can arrange this for you through the front desk. For a memorable evening, stock up on local fresh produce from the nearby Hương Thủy market and use the property’s barbecue facilities for a riverside-view dinner with your group. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen and insect repellent for your hikes around Thiên An Hill. If traveling with young children, take advantage of the property’s free child safety outlet covers and children’s books to keep little ones comfortable.
