How to choose a whole-courtyard villa without pitfalls? Ask clearly about room count and capacity, whether the courtyard is truly private, the pet policy and what the price includes. Cuixi Villa: whole villa, 7 bedrooms up to 22, private courtyard, pet-friendly, from ¥4,980 per villa, Ctrip 4.8.
Question 1: How many rooms, and how many can it sleep?
Ask about room count and maximum capacity first, so you don't arrive to find there's no bed for everyone. Cuixi Villa is a 7-bedroom whole villa, up to ~22 people; room types and allocation are on the 7 room types page.
Question 2: Is it a truly private courtyard or a public one?
For "whole courtyard", confirm whether the courtyard is exclusively yours. Cuixi is a private courtyard — the yard, pool and BBQ area are yours during your stay, not shared with other guests.
Question 3: Are pets really allowed?
Some places write "pet-friendly" but actually have many restrictions. Cuixi Villa is pet-friendly — just let the butler know in advance when bringing your furry friend, and the courtyard is roomy enough for them to roam.
Question 4: What does the price include, and does it rise on holidays?
Price Confirmation Checklist
Whole villa from ¥4,980, from ~¥372 per person; confirm whether cleaning / service is included, whether it rises on holidays, and the overtime fee. All quotes are subject to written confirmation at booking.

Who Is Cuixi Best For? Boundaries & Pitfalls (The Truth About Pet-Friendliness)
Why do pet-owning families prefer a whole villa? The key is enclosure and safety: Cuixi is pet-friendly throughout and free, with an ~1,200㎡ enclosed courtyard safe for letting pets roam — pets don't cross into other courtyards or disturb neighbors; compared with open-plan homestays (where pets easily get lost or cause neighbor disputes), the whole villa's enclosure is the core advantage.
Pitfall warning: not "no restrictions on any pet" — please tell us your pet's size in advance for large dogs or strong breeds, so we can arrange the courtyard; guests sensitive to pet hair / noise who need to share the space actually are not suited. Just tell us your pet's size when booking — no extra deposit needed.
Applicable boundaries: best for families / couples traveling with cats and dogs; those sensitive to pet hair or noise should think twice.
