I am the CEO of Geometry B&B and your cocoa sister.

I have been doing Geometry B&B for 7 years, and I have recommended thousands of excellent B&Bs all over the country. At ordinary times, I also serve as the recommendation officer of Renren B&B..

"Sister Coco, recommend a homestay in Hangzhou?" This is the question I am asked the most.

Because my home is in Hangzhou, I pay more attention to the homestay in Hangzhou. There are new stores, try to experience them all.

But in retrospect, the most frequently recommended ones are always a few. These homestays are really safe to recommend, and they are my favorite places to live in Hangzhou besides home.

Manjuelong's mountain house has its own bookstore and cafe. I always like to order a famous osmanthus latte.

Every room in Meiling is a dynamic landscape painting when the curtains are opened.

The push window of Xixi deep in Jiuxi is the tea garden of Xishui, with birds singing and gurgling as the background sound.

The language by the canal is free, which restores the quadrangle life of the old wall door and has the flavor of Hangzhou, the old base.

Bodhi Valley, with some subtle Buddhist reasons, is my ideal place for weekends.

Most of them are far away from the bustling scenic spots, and every window is picturesque, which can make people feel the forgotten life in Hangzhou again.

March is a good time to go for an outing, and all the flowers in Hangzhou are in full bloom. Peach blossoms and cherry blossoms bloom one after another, rendering the colors of early spring. Everywhere is flowing green, full of vitality and vigor.

If you want to come to Hangzhou and ask me where I live, I will not hesitate to recommend these five.

Manjue Longshan she

A historic hiding place

When it comes to places where foreign friends come to live in Hangzhou, the first thing that comes to mind is Manjuelong's mountain house. Shanfang can be called the homestay of the predecessors in Hangzhou, and this year is the seventh year of their business.

Unlike the West Lake or Jiuxi, Manjue Dragon seems to be a secret holiday hiding place for Hangzhou people. On the other hand, the houses on the mountain exude a false sense of warmth, which is always relaxing and healing.

The owner of the mountain house, Wan Jun, is also my friend for many years and a perfectionist. As a guest, this perfection makes me feel extremely comfortable.

The rooms are quiet and beautiful. Every room is based on white, and the wooden home matches everything just right.

Maybe it's because there are not too many complicated designs and decorations. Every time I come here, I feel that time will slow down, I will have a long-lost good sleep, and I can see many beautiful scenery that have been neglected in my daily life.

The view of the back hill is extremely broad. When it cleared up recently in spring, I got up early and looked at the West Lake. It was foggy and rainy.

It is not uncommon for homestays to bring their own cafes, but it is the first one to transform cafes into bookstores. The name is lovely, called "Pillow Book", and each book is selected by Wan Jun and his employees themselves.

Any guest who checks in can bring a book back to his room to read.

I like to stay by the French window for a while after check-out time, order a famous osmanthus latte, have another cake, read Dickens and slowly kill the sleepy spring afternoon.

Manjuelong Village is small, but it hides many treasure shops of mine.

Shanshe's own Japanese restaurant, Shanshe teahouse and Japanese courtyard, with only full, exclusive and dragon three boxes. Remember to make an appointment in advance

If you want to eat Chinese food, just take a few steps down. "Wu Ge Hotel" and "hangzhou dishes in Good Year" are both good. In spring, the local chicken pot, white strips, braised ducks, sweet beans and bamboo shoots are not amazing, but they are delicious and comfortable.

Hangzhou's low-key high-end restaurant "Guiyu Fang Shan" is also nearby. A cup of Jiuqu red plum and a serving of spring beef always make me miss it.

Sometimes I go to the White Tea House, the tea garden outside the window is full of spring, and I drink a cup of newly picked Longjing, which is soaked by the breath of spring from the inside out.

Meiling's Woshanhe

Lie down and watch the scenery of the four seasons

Manjuelong went up again. It was Yang Meiling. The best location of Yang Meiling Meiling B&B is Jiuxi on the left and Manlong Guiyu on the right.

Although the most beautiful season of Metasequoia glyptostroboides on Meiling South Road is late autumn, who can say that Hangzhou in early spring is not beautiful? On one side of the road are ordinary people, and on the other side are various levels of green, from tea gardens to the top of the mountain, all caged in the rain of apricot flowers.

Meiling is often regarded as a homestay among online celebrities, but in my opinion, red makes sense. First, because of the owner's good taste, the color matching is more lively than the mountain house, and the aesthetic feeling of the whole hotel is supported by four colors: retro green, log, milky white and rock gray.

But what is more beautiful than the room is the green hills outside the window.

What fascinates me most about Meiling is that every room is opened with curtains, which is a dynamic landscape painting. Lie down and look at the scenery, which is what the ancients said, "Lie down and swim", right?

Have a good sleep, it's important to lie down! Floor heating and air conditioning are fully equipped early, and the outdoor terrace is added. Bathrobe and Waldorf are the same level, and toiletries are also the luxury of Sofitel France. Touch and smell are reassuring.

When I had breakfast in Meiling for the first time, I was shocked by the menu: side dishes, miscellaneous grains porridge, bread with miscellaneous grains sauce, seasonal fruits, vegetable burritos ... From the beginning of breakfast, I felt the intention of the hotel.

The spring water for making tea in afternoon tea comes from Zhujingshan, Yun Qi, and is boiled in iron pot or clay pot.

They can often see their raspberry wine in the bar, and if they are lucky, they can have a drink. This reminds me of the Japanese drama Little Forest. Young people in Hangzhou love and feel about life no less than the protagonists in Japanese dramas.

You ask me, what is the charm of Meiling? -Not an online celebrity, not posing, maybe this is the real life in Hangzhou.

In addition, Meiling also has a cat named Tangyuan, which is soft and cute.

Deep in Jiuxi, middle in Xixi.

Pushing open the window is Xishui Tea Garden.

The stream in the stream, as its name implies, is a secret place, hidden in Jiuxi. Surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. He is my ideal Hangzhou B&B, full of Jiangnan characteristics and modernity.

Last March, the B&B was hit by the epidemic. But the stream in the stream is full almost every day, because it is the best back garden for Hangzhou people.

I like the guest room on the second floor. Vision and privacy are better. A large area of floor-to-ceiling windows, invincible vision, gurgling streams outside the window, lush trees. In this way, lying quietly, the singing of birds and the flowing sound of spring water constitute the most pleasant background sound.

Western and Chinese restaurants are also worth mentioning. It is a century-old local brand in Hangzhou, which is as famous as the building outside the building. It focuses on hangzhou dishes and creative dishes, and many foreign guests come to eat it specially.

As soon as I go out, I always feel that I have stepped into the spring in Hangzhou first. Go out twenty steps to Jiuxi Smoke Tree.

Yun Qi Zhujing, Longjing Village and meijiawu are also nearby, and there are shuttle buses and butlers for short trips, so it's convenient without driving.

"Small but beautiful" language is free.

Old Hangzhou Qiangmen Zi Yuan Life

In addition to the West Lake and the surrounding mountains, there is another place to enjoy the taste of old Hangzhou, and that is the canal side. On the west side of the canal, there is a courtyard-style homestay with ancient walls and doors, which is called freedom of language.

The language scale is not large, but its market value has reached hundreds of millions. The market value is hundreds of millions, but there are only five rooms. The "small and beautiful" life in the courtyard of the old Hangzhou wall gate is the language described by freedom.

Manager, old pumpkin and leaves, are my old friends. They are immortal couples in the hotel circle. They designed and managed the hotel by themselves.

I always marvel at their attention to detail. The inner gallery courtyard grows at will, restoring the most natural appearance. The quadrangle reveals a patio, which is rare in Hangzhou today.

Although the room is decorated with Chinese utensils such as pu mats, bamboo fences and tea sets, it is quite modern in function, and the curtains and lighting are intelligently controlled by mobile phones.

What I enjoy most here is having afternoon tea with my girlfriends. Small osmanthus rose tea, a small cake, happiness echoed between lips and teeth, feeling less tired.

The nearby Qiaoxi Historic District is an old hutong with a small business district. There are many free museums, handicraft shops, cafes and bookstores. Ships come and go on the canal, as if time had slowed down. ...

Bodhi Valley in Subtle Buddhist Fate

Go to the mountains to escape from the world.

Hesitated to recommend Bodhi Valley. After all, it's almost an hour's drive from downtown, which makes people feel like they have left Hangzhou.

I walked seven times and eight times on the way up the mountain. I drove my daughter to Bodhi Valley, and she was ill. But the scenery is really good, surrounded by thousands of acres of bamboo sea. If you are traveling with old people or friends with carsickness, it is not suitable to go. It is really a toss-up.

The temperature in mountainous areas is several degrees lower than that in urban areas. If you want to go recently, you can bring some warm clothes. Go in summer, there are many mosquitoes, so be sure to bring mosquito repellent.

It's too inconvenient to go there, but over the years, Bodhi Valley has made me feel very fond of it.

At the beginning of the design, I collected a lot of old furniture with a sense of the times, plus rammed earth walls, which were very concise and attractive.

There are some subtle Buddhist reasons in Bodhi Valley, because there used to be a Dalu Temple here, and there happened to be 65,438+08 houses in the village, so each house was named after an Arhat: Bag House, Sit-in House and Ground Tortoise House. ...

Every building is minimalist, close to nature and has different layouts. There is an independent public space where you can meditate alone or have tea and chat with friends in the teahouse.

The terrain here is very high, and the scenery and privacy are good. Every room on the second floor is equipped with a spacious terrace and large French windows. Looking out of the window, the mountains and plains are all green.

There is no other food nearby, but the restaurant in Bodhi Valley is very good. One is called "Unsmell", which makes creative Japanese food, and the other is called "Don't ask", which makes home cooking. Most vegetables are planted in vegetable fields, which are very fresh.

My aunt cooks breakfast on the first floor of each villa every morning. This is also an unforgettable point. You can have a hot breakfast as soon as you get downstairs.

Because there is a kitchen on the first floor, it is convenient to add a meal for yourself.

There is a stream around the house, and there are also large bamboo forests, with bamboo shoots, fruits and wild vegetables everywhere.

Bamboo shoots are in full bloom this season, so you can take your children to dig bamboo shoots, cook bamboo rice together and taste "game".

In the past two years, I have found that with more and more geometries of cooperation, the choice becomes more and more difficult. No matter how detailed the tweet is, everyone will encounter various problems when they actually sign in.

What everyone needs is not only rich choices, but also streamlined customization to save time and money. So, now I have opened up a brand-new content section. As the chief recommender, I will do subtraction for you.

Not only homestays, but also shopping, skin care, decoration, food ... The detours, pits, extra money and wasted time that I have gone through these years, I don't want everyone to experience it again.

Only in this way can I devote my time, energy and feelings to something really valuable: going where I want to go, doing what I want to do and loving others.
