Detailed Reviews
During our trip we had Sunny as our tourguide,showing us Shaxi and Baoxing temple and she brought us at the precious place at Villa Verde ! Sunny and Gerard built this beautiful hotel only 2 ago and it was for us a great place to enjoy the views from the terrace,watching the ricefields (just harvest time) the lake and the mountains.
The climate was very pleasant.Specially after the umitidy from the other visited places.
Gerard and Sunny were very kind,preparing breakfast and dinner and showing us around at their beautiful village!
Due to a blackout of the electricity,they brought us to the nearest village where we had a great cinese dinner! Without the advise of them we couldnot have eaten so good.
The next day on our way to Kunming,they brought us to Dali showing us the beautifull shoppingarea where a lot of Chinese tourists were enjoying as well their free time.
I advise everybody to go to Villa Verde and enjoy all the aspects here.
p.s. Forgot to tell that they work together with a very good driver.Mr. Yan who brought us safely from Lijiang to Kunming,

Dear Jacqluc123, Thank you for writing your beautiful review. We do our very best for every guest to make them feel at home. The rice is harvested, the farmers turned the fields and now planting garlic, beans, vegetables and on. Around Villa Verde it's always green. Our driver is one of the best in China, but we will tell him your appreciation. Thank you again and we hope to see you again.

We and our group came here through a day trip and didn't know what to expect before. We were welcomed by Gerard and Sunny and their team and felt "at home" at once. Service and quality here is definitely was above the normal level here.
Villa Verde offers great, well-maintened (often a problem in China) rooms. All with balcony or terrace seating. The food we got there was among the best during my 3,5 week trip through Yunnan, Sichuan and Hongkong - both Western and local dishes were served. They also have very good coffee (also not everywhere to be found) and a great bar with local and Western drinks.
I recommend this place as base to explore the Greater Dali area or to relax after a hiking tour in Shangri-La. Sunny (the host) has abundant knowledge as a guide and can help planning tours and will answer all your questions.
As I said our stay here was a real highlight!

On our recent trip in Yunnan we stayed near Dali at this hotel. It's a great location very near to Erhai lake. If you're looking for a relaxed stay this is it. The people are both very friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms are very clean and well taken care of. They have a nice restaurant and a bar. Going to Dali is very easy. Highly recommended!

Gerard comes from Holland and his wife Sunny is Chinese ( Bai minority ). The hotel is very clean and looks almost new. The food is very good and we got the possibility to chose our menu for the next day. The rooms are spacious with a very nice bathroom and the bed is very good.
Gerard and Sunny made us feel at home and gave us a lot of usefull information. Sunny took us to a local market and to some minority villages in the mountains. The hotel is very close to the lake and a lovely half hour trip with a bicycle takes you to Dali ( they arrange the bycicle for you in the hotel).
The hotel is located in a very quiet area amidst the rice fields and other green.
If you want to spend a couple of days ( or more ) around Dali, this is the place to be.

We stayed one night with this delightful couple, Gerard and Sonny. Not only was the hospitality unbelievable, the environment beautiful and the place clean as can be, they introduced us to a mixture of Dutch and Chinese cuisine that we had never tasted. The view of the lake and the mountains is such a dream and Sonny's family is so genuine and quaint. A must if you visit Dali.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Verde Hotel, at the shore of Erhai Lake.
The brand new hotel has 9 clean, comfortable and spacious rooms and is surrounded by rice fields and the peaceful countryside.
The Dutch manager and his Chinese wife speak perfect English and were very helpful.
Delicious kitchen with Chinese and European specialities.
On request they supplied bikes and provided excursions by private car with a guide.
We stayed for 6 nights and that was still too short, because there is so much to see and to do.

This was heaven in Dali next to the Erhai Lake where so much is too be seen and you will….because the very kind owners Gerard and Sunny will show you every thing you want to see. So was our experience, nothing was too much for them. Go and see for yourself and as for the Hotel itself..you can spend a lot of days there in the nice and cosy ambience the created already.
Thank you guys for and unforgettable stay in you hotel! And it is worth to be mentioned that Sunny is a great cook of delicious chinese food ( but is you ask her to make spaghetti…. sure she can!) Good luck to both of you.
