“Yeoyu” is a stay nestled in a quiet village in Gyodong, home to Jeonju Hyanggyo. Giving a nod to aKorean traditional housing, hanok that was built in the 1960s, Yeoyu proudly presents sophisticatedness for a place to say by adding modern touches and convenience to quaintness of the house. In contrast to the crowdedness of one of the popular tourist destinations in Korea, Jeonju Hanok Village, the stay is located on the outskirt of the main street that it deftly allures its guests into a quiet retreat. Indeed, Yeoyu is more than good enough to get immersed in slowness, relaxation and happiness -the very values that the city of Jeonju is after. And in a quiet village blessed with rich history, you may want to spend a day at a slower pace, strolling along traces of the past.

Inside the Korean traditional housing, modern ideas are infused for remodeling to achieve harmonious contrast between tradition and modernness. In a standalone building of hanok, you will find a bedroom, a living room, a porch, a kitchen and a rest room. And in front of the main building, an open-air bath is installed for guests to wash off all their fatigue from their day. And in the backyard, garden is designed to be surrounded by nature. Scenery of bamboos outside the window of the kitchen will definitely culminate the atmosphere of the stay.

Where Stay Yeoyu is located, Jeonju Hanok Village has already made its name for gourmet and tourist attractions, including Jeonju Hyanggyo, Jeondong Cathedral and Jaman Wallpainting Village. After exploring a few tourist spots of your choice, you may want to spend the rest of the day for some quality time. For a retreat in Yeoyu, you may start with enjoying nicely plated food, or enjoy tea and coffee, with beautiful scenery from the window as a backdrop. You could also get rid of the fatigue, taking a dip in the open-air bath. Just like water flowing effortlessly to seep through anything, you could slowly yet steadily get immersed in the atmosphere of the stay.
