Hey guys! Before coming to Dali, I totally fell into some major traps💥!
I thought booking any sea view room would give me Erhai Lake at my fingertips, but ended up with either outdated rooms resembling guesthouses or remote locations with terrible transportation... Until I discovered **Floral Hotel·Chopin Art Villa | Premium Long-stay · Sea View Art Vintage Mansion (Dali Erhai Airport Branch)**. I was instantly blown away by its killer combo of "vintage art × breathtaking sea views × unbeatable extended-stay deals"!! This is truly the ultimate destination for Dali vacations + long-term stays – come take notes👇
❌ Common pitfalls of Dali sea view B&Bs – I’ve taken the hits for you!
❶ "Sea view" turns into "sea fog view" – windows so blurry you can’t see a thing, ruining the promised Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake vistas
❷ Dated, generic decor – photos rely entirely on filters, reality feels like a decade-old guesthouse
❸ Far from downtown – expensive meals and taxis eat up half your daily budget
❹ Want to stay long? Prices are absurdly high – a week’s stay costs half a month’s salary!
✅ Why am I obsessed with recommending this villa?
🌟 A walking art exhibition! Every corner is a visual feast
Who says sea view B&Bs must stick to ins style? Here, they’ve brought a **piano-themed vintage art villa** right to Erhai Lake! Massive common areas feature a private piano🎹, Baroque-style furniture, and a French fireplace – every shot looks like a *VOGUE* spread!
🌟 Hardware that puts five-stars to shame!
Floor-to-ceiling windows face Erhai Lake🌊, with electric curtains for sunrise/sunset mode at a click; Kohler fixtures, mini-bar drinks, imported bedding… even the toiletries are niche luxury brands! The manager said each room’s renovation cost over 200k – staying here teaches you what "money well spent" really means!
📍 Instagrammable spots at the villa
**Chopin Piano Corner**: Gently touch the antique keys with Erhai’s shimmer behind you – vintage vibes maxed out
**French Vintage Style**: Sip on the owner’s hand-brewed coffee in the retro dining room, snapping movie-poster-worthy shots
**Oversized Sea View Terrace**: Sunset reflections on Erhai Lake are unreal – your social media likes will explode!
📍 Hidden Erhai experiences
✔ **Ecological Corridor Cycling**: Ride along Erhai Lake for effortlessly fresh, Japanese-style photos
✔ **Panxi S-Bend Strategy**: Arrive before 8 AM to avoid crowds and capture the stunning empty road
✔ **Wenbi Village Jacarandas**: Seasonal spring/summer blue flower sea + Erhai Lake = fairy-tale magic
