"🌟 **Location & Ambiance**
- **Mountain & Village Views**: Nestled between the two UNESCO World Heritage sites, Hongcun and Xidi, and just 5km from Hongcun, the hotel offers stunning panoramic views of rolling green mountains and traditional Huizhou villages (with their characteristic black tiles, white walls, and horse-head gables) right from your window.
- **Design Heritage**: Transformed from an old granary, the design thoughtfully incorporates original granary artifacts as artistic decor. It seamlessly blends modern Chinese aesthetics with traditional Huizhou architectural elements, creating a captivating interplay of light and shadow that changes with the time of day, making every corner a picturesque scene.
🏠 **Room Experience**
- **Private In-Room Hot Springs**: Every room type features an independent hot spring tub (equipped with Hansgrohe fixtures and King Koil mattresses), spacious enough for a family of three. An electric heated towel rack further enhances comfort.
- **Attention to Detail**: Smart toilets and exquisite tea sets provide a mountain retreat experience that beautifully balances rustic charm with luxury.
🍽️ **Dining & Facilities**
- **Huizhou Culinary Innovation**: The restaurant, also a converted granary space, draws natural light through its glass ceiling. It specializes in refined versions of traditional Huizhou dishes like 'stinky' mandarin fish and hairy tofu. The cuisine is described as 'exquisite yet affordable, with enough variety to enjoy for three consecutive days without repetition.'
- **Outstanding Amenities**:
- **Infinity Pool**: The rooftop infinity pool offers breathtaking views of the village and distant misty mountains, especially serene at sunset. Unfortunately, it was closed during my stay due to the rainy season.
- **Private Cinema**: A high-end private cinema boasts an ultra-wide screen and immersive surround sound. Other facilities include a lawn play area and a well-equipped gym. After a day of exploring, relaxing on the king-size bed while watching a movie is incredibly comfortable.
💁 **Service & Details**
- **Warm & Thoughtful Service**: The staff are welcoming and proactive. They even offer complimentary travel photography services, including makeup and traditional attire, with quick turnaround for photos that beautifully capture the Huizhou aesthetic.
- **A Minor Drawback**: There are no food delivery services available in the immediate vicinity. Guests need to drive or take a taxi about 5km to the nearest town for other dining options (such as KFC).
🎯 **Ideal For**
- **Families with Children**: Private hot spring tubs in rooms and ample outdoor space allow kids to roam freely, giving parents a well-deserved break.
- **Design Enthusiasts**: The artistic fusion of granary elements and natural light creates stunning photo opportunities.
- **Seekers of Serenity**: Escape the crowds of Hongcun and indulge in the peaceful mountain tranquility and therapeutic private hot springs.
💎 **Summary**
This aesthetic space, a 230-million CNY transformation of an old granary, is truly picture-perfect – from its private hot springs and infinity pool to its refined Huizhou cuisine. The service is as warm and attentive as an old friend. The only minor inconvenience is that a car is highly recommended for transport. It's an ideal retreat for those seeking an immersive, high-quality stay."
