SaffronStays Calamondinn Bungalow, Coorg

At the far end of a long gravel driveway in the southernmost part of the “Scotland of India”, SaffronStays Calamondinn Bungalow sits amidst nascent coffee plantations and a pocket of light, semi-woodland. At the height of its sumptuousness, it used to be the jewel of the land in the late 19th century. But even now, its pertinence and grandeur have endured. The house is indeed Elizabethan, with intricate, wooden framed mirrors decking the walls, ornate chandeliers, a gramophone, grandfather clock and oil paintings of men and women in tunics and ruffs.SaffronStays Calamondinn Bungalow, Coorg, Karnataka, Private Getaways, Heritage Homes Across India, Home-stays, Vacation Homes, Vintage Villas

Tucked away on a bountiful 3-acre estate, SaffronStays Ananta will remind you of the simple, warm homes that were shown in yesteryear’s black and white movies. The white exterior walls, red shingle roof, and the courtyard are reminiscent of a traditional Wada home. Decorated in muted tones and simple decor, SaffronStays Ananta retains a classic aura.
