Stray Clouds Villa

Wow! Such a wonderful place to stay. The location is just right and the view when sitting out on the terrace was beautiful. The rooms are spotless and the service was just so welcoming and accommodating. The staff don't speak any English, but they go out of their way to ensure all our needs were met. Breakfast was lovely with traditional Chinese foods, all fresh ingredients. We also ate lunch and dinner here, the food was some of the best Chinese food I've tasted and the quality of ingredients were fresh, vegetables and fruits grown locally. In the evening we had a nice dip in the pool too. Its just a shame the fine weather didn't last. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Stray Clouds Villa is a fantastic place to stay in Jiande, especially for those looking to take a break from city life and enjoy some time in the countryside. The owner of the hotel lives in Singapore, but handles registration for foreigners remotely. The three women who work at the hotel are lovely and make sure that each guest is treated with the same generous hospitality. My only suggestion for foreign passport holders looking to stay here is to establish contact with the owner in advance by adding his WeChat (same as the hotel's phone number) to share documents required for registration at the local police station including passport information page, current Chinese visa, most recent entry stamp, residential address in China, and phone number. This will decrease the time needed for check-in. The hotel itself was spectacularly clean and the rooms were spacious. The hotel is just minutes away by foot from Tuanyun Pagoda (抟云塔) and Wenchang Pavilion (文昌阁), two of Xinye Ancient's Village (新叶古村) most recognizable landmarks. The nearest bullet train station in Lanxi, Jinhua is currently closed, so it's best to take a bullet train into Jiande Station (建德站) followed by a 70-90 minute Didi directly to the hotel. Highly recommended for a weekend getaway!

超讚的位置，坐在房間裏就能看到古村夕陽。房間很乾凈，很安靜，很舒適。老闆很熱情，阿姨廚藝很好！總而言之，這是一次非常棒的住宿體驗，非常推薦！

房間風景無敵，有山有景，晚上寶塔亮燈伴你入眠。新葉古村原汁原味，值得靜下心來走走看看，可惜老闆的咖啡店關了，也可惜這次沒見着老闆，老闆回新加坡🇸🇬了。不過阿姨們都在，話不多但實在。菜品不多，但勝在原生美味。會再來的

現抓土雞湯鮮美！雨後千葉村也很美，院子風鈴作響，草花繁茂，適合躺平！老闆和阿姨都很好，舒服，下次還來

環境：打破我對民宿的固有印象，每一個轉角都盡顯設計者的用心，我們是親子出遊，訂了一件標間（疊翠），一件親子間，每一間房每一種風景，室外更是一步一景，配上新葉古村的清靜，泡上一壺茶，坐一下午，放空一陣. 設施：房間內所用物品都有嚴格把關質量，如衞生間的水龍頭，洗臉枱的面盆，房間所安裝的紗窗，無一不在展現其中的精緻. 服務：老闆和阿姨都好熱心，也好熱鬧，和我們講了新葉古村的近況，古村只有為數不多的長者還在其中生活，人流過後終是歸於寧靜了，幾乎沒有商業氣息，村落的構造類似諸葛八卦村，彎彎繞繞，柳暗花明，無處不是驚喜，慢慢走走，偷偷享受一下生活～
