Escape to Paradise: Viewna Little Home Awaits in Nan, Thailand
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Escape to Paradise: Viewna Little Home Awaits in Nan, Thailand. Forget those sterile travel reviews - this is gonna be real. This is gonna be my honest-to-goodness Nan experience, warts and all. And, because my editor (read: my inner perfectionist) is currently napping, let's get this messy, delicious, and hopefully helpful review-a-thon started!
First Impressions: Nan's Charm and Viewna's Promise.
Nan. Just the name whispers of a different pace, a place where you can breathe. Forget the tourist throngs of Chiang Mai – Nan feels almost…secret. Viewna Little Home Awaits? Right from the jump, it felt like a promise of something special. Not just a hotel, but a home. Did it deliver? Well… let's just say the paint isn't always perfectly applied. And the staff, bless their hearts, sometimes struggled with my hilariously bad Thai.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, but Hopeful.
Okay, the accessibility situation at Viewna is a bit like a Thai street market: bustling, sometimes convoluted, but ultimately… charming. They advertise "Facilities for disabled guests," which is a good start. I didn't specifically require full wheelchair accessibility on this trip, but I did notice elevators were present (a huge plus!). The exterior corridors are pretty straightforward, which makes getting around easy. However, I didn't see specific ramps at all locations. Maybe check with them directly for specifics – they seem genuinely eager to help, so give them a call and ask. It's always best to verify exactly what you will need.
Food, Glorious Food (and a Few Tummy Troubles): Dining, Drinking and Snippet Snacking
Oh. My. Word. The food! This is where Viewna really shines. The on-site restaurants are…well, plural. The buffet? Massive. The Asian breakfast? Heaven. Seriously, the buffet was a glorious spread. And not just the usual sad, rubbery scrambled eggs. Real eggs. Fresh fruit. Noodles galore. Even a little corner with mini pancakes that were pure, unadulterated joy.
The Western Cuisine Restaurant: Okay, let's be honest, I may have eaten nothing but Thai food my entire stay, I am so sorry to the chef, but the other selections (American, Italian, etc.)? Pass on it. Stick to traditional Thai, and you will not regret it.
Poolside Bar, Poolside Bar, Poolside Bar: What more can I say? Happy hour with a view is the best hour, and I absolutely lived at the pool bar. This leads me to my next point:
Anecdote Alert! The Pool Bar Incident… and the Unexpected Friendship
Picture this: Me, sprawled on a sun lounger, nursing a cocktail (or two, maybe three…hey, it was holiday!), and completely relaxed. The pool, a sparkling aquamarine, beckoned. Suddenly, a torrential downpour erupted. The sky was a shade of grey I didn't know existed. Panic? Nope – I was in Thailand. I grabbed whatever I could find, and I dove into the pool. After spending like 2 hours in the rain, shivering with delight, I swam to the bar. And bam! I met this lovely older woman who I spent the next 3 hours chatting with. She'd been living in Thailand for 20 years, and her stories were amazing. Suddenly, I didn’t mind the rain anymore. In fact, it was perfect. Now, I wouldn’t have expected to make such an amazing, honest connection at the pool bar. This is one of the best parts of this location. Amazing. Unforgettable.
Relaxation and Rejuvenation: Spa, Sauna, and Bliss
The Spa. Oh, the Spa. Seriously, get a massage. Just do it. The body scrub? Divine. The foot bath? The perfect way to end a day of exploring. The pool with a view? Unbeatable. They have all the things you expect from a resort like this one.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Secure and Sound
The rooms felt clean, but I’d always give a wipe down with a sanitizing wipe, myself. They had some of the stuff in place like anti-viral cleaning products, room sanitization optic-free… but also things I did not immediately see/use. I like that the rooms have soundproofing, and that they have smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, etc. Makes me feel safe. Overall, it feels like they're going the extra mile.
Rooms! What About the Rooms?!
My room? Pretty darn comfortable. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Blessedly, yes! (Jet lag is a beast.) The beds? Comfy enough for a good night's sleep after a day of exploring. I enjoyed the space, and the desk was great for a bit of work. The bathroom was clean and functional. Extra points for a window that opens. And speaking of opening, do you know how amazing it is to have a room that has a window that opens?
Internet Access… Because We Live in the 21st Century:
Wi-Fi? Yep, it was a great. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (Thank the travel gods!) Internet? Yes, but I did not expect a LAN. The service was pretty reliable, which is a must for me since I often have to work on the road.
Things to Do (Besides Eat and Swim):
Nan is a hidden gem. Explore the temples (they’re stunning!), wander the night market, and just breathe. Viewna can arrange airport transfers and has a car park if you want to rent a car.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Extras
The concierge was helpful, though sometimes a little… overwhelmed. The daily housekeeping was good, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. The gift shop was okay, but nothing to write home about. They offer a laundry service if you need one. I personally did not need to use the convience store on site, so I'm not sure of the wares.
For the Kids… or Not:
I didn't have kids with me, but Viewna seems pretty family-friendly, with some kids facilities, and babysitting.
Getting Around:
Taxis are available. I recommend organizing airport transfers - it makes the arrival process so much easier. The hotel also has bicycle parking.
The Verdict:
Escape to Paradise: Viewna Little Home Awaits? Mostly, yes. It's not perfect. There are little quirks. Some slightly outdated decor. But the food, the pool, the location, and the staff's genuine warmth…those are the things that make it special. It's the kind of place where you can really relax, disconnect, and discover the quiet magic of Nan.
My Honest Opinion, in One Sentence: If you are looking for a luxurious, modern hotel, this isn’t the place, but if you are looking for rest, relaxation and a little bit of magic, yes, please go.

Escape to Paradise: Hotel Ambasciatori Pineto, Italy Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is my messy, beautiful, slightly terrifying (mostly because of my ability to navigate scooters) adventure in Nan, Thailand, specifically at Viewna Little Home. Let's see if I survive this trip!
The Unofficial & Possibly Imploding Viewna Little Home Itinerary (Nan, Thailand)
Day 1: Nan-tastic Arrival & Bungalow Bliss (and Existential Dread)
Morning (ish – Jet Lag's Revenge): Arrive in Nan after… actually, let’s be honest, a flight that felt like a time warp. Land, breathe in that tropical air… ah, wait. First, unpack the existential dread of being alone in a foreign country. Check. Okay, now breathe. Grab a tuk-tuk. Negotiating prices is hard (and I’m terrible at it). I probably overpaid. Whatever. Viewna Little Home, here I come!
Afternoon: Bungalow Dreams & Mosquito Massacre (Probably):
- Check in! Oh. My. GOD. The photos online don't do it justice. My little bungalow is adorable. It's got a porch swing! It's got… peace? Maybe. I'm on a mission to chill.
- Unpack. Fail to unpack the entire luggage. Half-finished unpacking, I found a hammock to be irresistible.
- Immediate nap in hammock. Wake up feeling like a soggy noodle. Consider going back for another round. Decide I need food.
- Take a walk around the property, checking out the plants and the general vibes. Realize I'm probably going to get eaten alive by mosquitos. Spray myself like I’m prepping for war.
- Dinner at the on-site restaurant (if they have one, or if I can even find one). Order something… spicy. Regret it. But also, kinda love it? See? It's already a roller-coaster.
Evening: Stargazing (If I Can Stay Awake) & Ramblings:
- Try to stargaze. Thailand’s supposed to have amazing stars. The air is so clear.
- Fail miserably. Fall asleep on the porch swing, drooling.
- Wake up at 3 AM, wide awake. Ponder the meaning of life/why I thought that spicy curry was a good idea.
- Make a mental note to buy mosquito repellent. And probably some antacid. And maybe a journal for all the rambling.
Day 2: Scooting Lessons (Or, "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Tumble")
Morning: Breakfast & the Dreaded Scooter:
- Try to eat breakfast. I'm terrible at eating breakfast. Decide to eat a banana, and then another, and then three bananas.
- Seriously consider just staying in the bungalow all day. This is tempting.
- The dread. The scooter. Okay, deep breaths. Rent a scooter, because apparently that's the only way to see Nan properly.
- Scooter Lesson From Disaster: I'll admit it, I’m a terrible driver. My instructor, a friendly grandpa, looks at me with a mixture of amusement and genuine concern as I wobble around the parking lot. My first few attempts are… less than graceful. I almost ran over a chicken. I might have yelled. I may or may not have ended the lesson completely embarrassed, but ready to see some of the city's attractions by myself!
- Afternoon: Temples & Trying Not To Die (Literally):
- Attempt to ride the scooter (slowly!) to Wat Phumin, the stunning temple with the famous murals.
- Fail to use GPS. Get terribly lost. End up on a dirt road, praying my tires don't fall off. Finally found the temples. Totally worth it. The murals are genuinely breathtaking. Felt a pang of spirituality for the five minutes.
- Feel a complete failure and self-doubt because of the whole scootering experience and almost get run over by a songthaew.
- Go for another attempt to ride the scooter (cautiously!) to Wat Phra That Chae Haeng, the famous temple in Nan in the evening
- End up at Wat Phra Tat Chae Haeng, enjoy the sunset, and feel the good vibes.
Evening: Dinner & Self-Reflection (and More Mosquitoes):
- Dinner at a local restaurant, hopefully near a street that is not busy so I can get home without any accident.
- Feel hungry for the whole day or end up eating too much and feeling sick.
- Reflect on the day's events. (Most of the reflection consists of "I survived!").
- Write in my journal. Ramble about the temples, the scootering, and how much I miss my cat.
- Seriously considering bug spray. The mosquito massacre continues.
- Repeat the stargazing failure of Day 1.
Day 3: Nan's Charms & Departure (Probably with PTSD From the Scooter)
- Morning: Market Mayhem & Local Delights:
- Go to a local market. Try to barter (badly). Buy some weird fruit I can't identify. End up loving it.
- Wander around, soaking up the atmosphere. Feel like I'm actually adjusting to Nan-life.
- Buy souvenirs. Overspend. Regret nothing.
- Afternoon: More Exploring (or Avoiding the Scooter):
- If my legs are still working, explore more of Nan. Find a cute café, drink a coffee (with way too much sugar!). Read a book.
- If the scooter is still not my friend, hail a tuk-tuk and see the surrounding areas.
- The Second Day Scootering Disaster: Today I decided I have to improve. I ended up at a local Thai cooking class. I would not be able to get there and back without my scooter. I managed to cook amazing Pad Thai, but on my way back to the hotel, I felt like I'd been sentenced to death by the scooter. The engine died just as a truck was in the back of me. I had to push the scooter for 2 kilometers. Thankfully, a local helped me and towed the scooter. I was completely exhausted.
- Evening: Farewell Dinner & Packing (Maybe):
- Farewell dinner at a restaurant. Treat myself to something fancy.
- Try to pack. Fail. End up throwing everything in my suitcase at the last minute.
- One last (attempted) stargazing session. Probably fail again.
- Write final ramblings in journal: (e.g., "Nan… you were messy, beautiful, and terrifying. And I'm already planning my return.")
- Departure:
- Say goodbye to Viewna Little Home. Feel a twinge of sadness.
- Head to the airport, ready for the next adventure…whatever it may brings.
Important Notes:
- Mosquitoes: Bug spray is your best friend. Seriously.
- Scootering: Proceed with caution. Or walk. Or hire a driver.
- Food: Be adventurous! But also, know your limits.
- Embrace the Mess: This itinerary is a suggestion. Don't be afraid to deviate, get lost, and make a fool of yourself (like I will.)
- Take a deep breath. You're in Thailand! Relax, be present, and enjoy the chaos.
P.S. If you see a slightly disheveled woman on a scooter, waving frantically and looking terrified, that's probably me. Come say hi! And maybe offer me a ride. Or a hug. I probably need both.

So, why 'Escape to Paradise' and uh... Viewna? Is it REALLY paradise? (And what's with the name?)
Okay, deep breaths. The "Escape to Paradise" part? Honestly, marketing. I think *everyone's* website calls itself paradise. But Viewna? That's the heart of it. We got it because... well, it's Nan. Nan is beautiful. Rolling green hills, rice paddies for days, and a slower pace of life that could actually *cure* my stress. Plus, it sounded kind of cool and vaguely mysterious, right? We wanted something that hinted at the view, and it does offer a lot in the way of scenery and the way of life. The view from the little home? Yeah, stunning. So, is it *actual* paradise? Look, I stubbed my toe *twice* on the uneven pavement. But when I'm sipping coffee on the porch, watching the mist roll over the mountains… yeah, it's pretty darn close. Just don't go expecting the Garden of Eden. Expect real life, with epic views.
What kind of home is it, really? "Little Home" sounds... cozy... (and maybe a bit small?)
"Little Home" is the truth! It’s not a palace (thank goodness, cleaning that would be a nightmare). It’s rustic… charmingly so. Think wooden construction, maybe a few squeaky floorboards (part of the *charm*!), and a definite connection with the outdoors. Cozy is the right word. Small? Yeah, a little. But it's designed to feel spacious in the way of Thailand. It felt small in the beginning but the views were so big, that i was able to forgive it. You won’t be hosting a huge party, but it’s perfect for a couple or a solo traveler who wants to unplug and reconnect. You won't be spending all your time inside anyway.
Okay, Nan. Sounds remote. Is it hard to get there, and once I'm there, how easy is it to *actually* escape?
Getting to Nan can be a bit of an adventure. You can fly (easier but sometimes pricier) or take a bus (cheaper, longer, and potentially more... memorable). My advice? Fly. Seriously. The bus ride, even the supposed "VIP" one, involved a lot of questionable smells and questionable entertainment choices on the built-in TV. So, yeah, fly. Once you're in Nan, getting to "Escape to Paradise" itself might involve a taxi or a motorbike. You'll definitely need some form of transport to get around. That's part of the escape, right? Away from the bustling noise and into the quiet. So, yeah, escaping is easy. Just embrace the remoteness. Let it wash over you. It's kinda the whole point!
The food situation. Is it all pad thai and street food? (And where do I get my coffee fix?)
Alright, food. Crucial. Yes, you can find amazing pad thai (and, honestly, I ate a *lot* of it). But Nan's got a whole culinary scene beyond the usual suspects. There are local markets bursting with fresh produce, delicious curries, and all sorts of goodies that are way better than what I could get in the West. The coffee? That was my biggest concern. Turns out, Nan has a surprisingly good coffee culture! You can find cafes serving strong, flavorful brews (some even offer those fancy latte art things). Most of the time I would just stop by the open market to take a look and pick up fruits to eat with my coffee. The local restaurants are a gem.
What's there to *do* in Nan besides, you know, sit around looking at the view? (Because I can only stare at a mountain for so long...)
Okay, so, I can sit and stare at the view *forever*. But fair point – you probably want some action. Nan has it. Temples! Stunning, ancient temples dotted all over the place (Wat Phumin is a must-see). National parks! Hiking, waterfalls, the whole shebang. Markets! Wandering through the night market is an experience in itself. And if you're feeling brave, rent a motorbike and explore – just be careful, the roads can be a bit... um... exciting. Oh, and the people. Seriously, the people of Nan are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They make the whole experience even more special.
So, tell me a story! What's the *one* thing that sticks out from your time there? (The good, the bad, the messy...)
Alright, story time. The most *memorable* moment? (And remember, this is me, so it's probably going to be a bit messy). It was the day I decided to rent a motorbike. I'd seen others doing it, thought, "How hard can it be?". Famous last words. Picture this: me, wobbling down this tiny road (that *may* have been more dirt track than road), desperately trying to avoid a rather large rooster that seemed determined to cross my path. I was a complete and utter spectacle. I didn’t crash (miraculously), but I did find myself stuck in a muddy patch. For, oh, a good twenty agonizing minutes. I was terrified. I kept hearing the roosters which did not help my situation. Finally, a local farmer, bless his heart, came to my rescue. He helped me out, and then he giggled. And then I giggled. And then we shared a bag of sticky rice snacks. It was mortifying, hilarious, and… well, it's *Nan*. That's what Nan is all about. The unexpected adventure, the slightly embarrassing moments, and the kindness of strangers. That's why I loved it. And that's why, even now, I still smile when I think of that rooster.
What's the vibe like? Is it chill or is it, like, a party destination? (Because sometimes I *need* a party...)
Nan is chill. Seriously, *chill*. It's not a party destination. If you're looking for all-night raves, you're in the wrong place. It's more about quiet evenings, stargazing, and connecting with the natural world. You can find a bar or two, but the energy is much more relaxed. Think of it as a place to recharge, recenter, and maybe (like me) have a minor motorbike mishap. The locals are chill, the atmosphere is chill. It's a good place for a good time.
Would you recommend it? Honestly? (And what should I pack?)
Yes. Absolutely, unequivocally *yes*. If you're looking for a genuine escape, a place to truly unwind, then go. Go now. What to pack? Comfort is key! Light, breathable clothing. Good walking shoes. A hat (the sun can be brutal). Insect repellent (trust me on this one). A small backpack for day trips. A sense of adventure (and a healthy dose of humor for when things inevitably go sideways) . Oh, and a phrasebook. Learning a few basic ThaiBook For Rest
