Welcome
A small, personal place — made with love by Adriano & Uma
Uma Valley is our home, and we share one private guest house with you. It stands in a garden of coconut palms, exotic trees and flowers, with a lotus lake, a little waterfall and quiet corners to read, swim in the silence and watch the light change over the mountains.
We are an Italian–Thai family. We pick you up at the airport, cook your breakfast, help you plan your days and, if you like, drive you to the places we love. Guests often tell us they came for one night and did not want to leave the garden.

Ten thousand square metres of green

At sunrise the mist lifts off the pond; at night it is only frogs and stars.

What our guests say
A little slice of paradise surrounded by nature. Every detail is taken care of with love, and the guest house is spotlessly clean. We had breakfast in the dining room overlooking the lake — simply beautiful! The hosts Adriano and Uma are exceptional, kind and always available.

My rating is 100/100. Very clean, very hospitable owner. The staff is very nice. Breakfasts are great. The territory is large and green. Our dogs really liked it.

Thanks to the great hospitality of the owners & staff we had a wonderful and relaxing time at the Uma Valley Homestay. The homestay is very well set-up and decorated and is located in a beautiful garden. In the mornings and evenings delicious meals were served.

Wonderful hospitality! The place looks amazing with a small pond, gorgeous greenery and sweet rescue dogs. Breakfast is excellent, with a big fruit plate and Thai desserts. Very peaceful, yet close to civilisation.
Airbnb · December 2025
Amazing place, the house is so incredibly cute and well equipped. The view into the lush plants all around was lovely. So lovely in fact, that we didn’t even leave the homestay but stayed in all weekend to read and enjoy the calm.

One of the best places I have stayed. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful — they picked us up from the airport and even drove us two hours to Pak Bara.
