Fodor's Expert Review Pig's Inn
Renrang Li, Xidi, Anhui Sheng, 245501, China Fodor's Choice
Wake to crowing roosters at this curio-filled boutique hotel opened by a Shanghai artist; it's in a 400-year-old stone house outside Xidi, an hour's drive from Tunxi, so a stay here lets you experience ancient village life—without forsaking air-conditioning or Internet access. The staff prepares tasty home-style meals for lunch and dinner using whatever's in season. A driver is on hand for local tours, airport pickups, and trips to Huangshan, making this a good base for exploring the area. A second, larger location is a 10-minute drive away.
PROS
- traditional lodging
- beautiful surroundings
- drivers at the ready
CONS
- a bit far from Huangshan
- staff knows very little English
- basic furnishings
