"If Dali’s romance is a poem woven by the Cangshan Mountains, Erhai Lake, and the ancient town’s lingering charm, this boutique hotel is the most heart-fluttering stanza within its verses. From the moment you pass through its wrought-iron gate adorned with French floral motifs, you embark on an immersive journey across geographical aesthetics. Nestled steps away from Dali Old Town yet blissfully removed from main-street bustle, the property strikes a golden balance for travelers. Wake to mist-draped mountain vistas through your window at dawn, then stroll five minutes at twilight to melt into the ancient town’s lantern-lit enchantment.

"My girlfriend and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect getaway. Waking up to that **incredible breakfast**—homemade, fresh, and so thoughtfully prepared—was such a treat every morning. The island itself is **pure magic**: quiet, untouched, and exactly the peaceful escape I needed. And the host? Just **the kindest, most welcoming person**—not only did they make sure I had everything I needed, but their passion for tea turned simple evenings into these lovely, memorable moments. It’s rare to find a place that feels so special and genuinely cared for. **Thank you for such a beautiful stay!** "
