The building now known as Eight Blessings Inn was originally built in the year 1785 , more than 200 years ago, and was called Mao De Tang. It was a traditional two-storey home. Our goal in renovating this building was to respect the original architecture while also creating a feeling of simplicity, elegance, and warmth.Eight Blessings Inn aims to create a space in which people can experience a simple, natural, and healthy lifestyle, as well as a shift in pace that allows them to relax, recharge, and rejuvenate. The tranquility of the village and the attentive service that we offer at the Inn, enables our guests to experience the abundance of life.The Inn has nine guest rooms: six double and three twin, each with its own full bathroom. Room sizes average 25-30 square meter). Each room is named after attributes that we value: Love, Joy, Peace, Forbearance, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control. These names also represent blessings. The Inn was awarded Cultural Themed Homestay by Zhejiang Tourism Homestay Inn Federation in 2023.
"I stayed here with my good friend. When I walked into Bafu in the cold winter, the house was warm and clean everywhere. The simple texture of the logs and the dim warm light made people feel comfortable and at ease. The owner, Sister Liang, was very considerate in reception. She asked us in advance whether we had a lot of luggage, and arranged for an aunt to meet us at the entrance of the ancient village, took us to the room and patiently told us how to place the items in the room.
The dumplings in the breakfast were made by the aunt herself. The pumpkin porridge was very warm and delicious. The fermented bean curd was also delicious. There were also buns and fruits. It was very rich.
After breakfast, I wanted to go around the village. Sister Liang also told us in detail how to go around and what was fun and delicious in the village.
I like ancient villages very much, and I also like the beauty of tradition, so I really think it is worth a walk here. It is a quiet ancient village without too much commercialization. There are many people who love life here doing what they love, conveying beauty and warmth. Bafu B&B is also a truly managed B&B that I have stayed in. Sister Liang has poured her attitude towards life into every corner of the B&B, including books, utensils, tea, flower arrangements, etc. The beauty of living a life with care can be felt in the details."
