Rustic Wabi-Sabi Aesthetics! I stayed at this B&B and didn't want to leave!

Tonglu Baobao Homestay (Shen'ao Ancient Village Store). Address: No. 102, Shen'ao New Village, Jiangnan Town, Tonglu, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province! This homestay in Tonglu is nestled among the village. Here, the mountains overlap, resembling a tranquil poem. The morning mist gently embraces the village, like tender affection: small bridges over flowing water, like the light plucking of guitar strings, resonate through the soul. The ancient grey tiles and white walls stand as witnesses to time, with years gently etching their mark, leaving mottled imprints, picturesque as poetry. The homestay is within walking distance to Tonglu Jiangnan ancient village, Shen'ao ancient town, and Dipo village, with convenient surrounding attractions. Surrounded by the graceful scenery of white walls and black tiles, a vacation haven with a natural healing atmosphere is constructed within a courtyard. It is a villa in total, with six guest rooms. The low-density distribution of rooms offers a beautiful view with fewer people. The off-white exterior of the building is mixed with wooden materials, with black used in details for color contrast. The combination of different materials gives it a sense of traversing time and space while being uniquely independent. The straight and simple lines, as well as the extensive use of floor-to-ceiling windows, enhance the guests' accommodation experience by reflecting a Zen-like spatial aesthetic. The room layout is spacious and transparent, with a modern and stylish flair. The ash-grey marble floor is matched with geometrically patterned carpets, and the bed, door frames, and furniture are all in cool black tones. The ceiling is crafted with irregular curved cuts to create a sense of layering, which under the warm yellow lighting, sets off a cozy atmosphere. The homestay also has a big surprise - their outdoor swimming pool! The square, azure pool, amidst the blue sky, white clouds, and the leisurely summer scenery, is filled with a vacation-like sense of relaxation. Spending a lazy afternoon swimming in the pool, or enjoying summer fruits and fruit wine on the beach chairs by the poolside, is just too pleasant!
