Review for SaffronStays Elfreda in Vikramgad
Me and my wife had a wonderful weekend in this beautiful and tastefully laid out property. The entire estate has 2 buildings both of which are listed on Saffron Stays. Elfreda, the stand alone 'cottage', is ideal for couples or a small family. The property and the interiors are similar to the pictures in the website listing. This is a perfect place for someone to unwind, unplug and bond with family/ friends. There is absolutely no sounds of traffic, only the chirping of birds and occasional shouts of village kids playing in the field nearby! The whole estate is full of lush fruit trees which provide a coolness even during the heat of the day. The staff is efficient and kitchen functional enough for anyone wanting to cook something (of course the ingredients will have to be bought!). We had the locally cooked meal which was simple and tasty. The village is close to the beautiful Saajan dam and we had a fun walk in the evening charting a route to the dam through the forest and villag
Loved the tranquility of the place.The home is so tastefully done, will be back soon. Ajay is very helpful.
Nice & Quiet Place, tastefully done up. The boys are very well trained, Kailash was amazing. Food was simple and tasty. Great place to unwind from the city. I would definitely recommend Elfreda and would love to try out other properties as well.
Amazing food, beautiful place. Amazing ambiance and lovely host. Amazing hospitality and definitely coming back!!
Elfreda- A Mediterranean touch in the hinterlands of Maharashtra. We traveled as a family of 4 last weekend just after Diwali revelries, my wife Priya, 2 kids (11&7) and self. We are avid traveller's & love the concept of boutique homestays. Thus our association with SaffronStays, Elfreda is our 8th SaffronStays (all the others were food to great but this one was compelling) need we say more! Very rarely will one get a perfect combination of subtle charm indoors & rustic virgin woods outdoors. Elfreda delivers just that & more. The villa with its interiors could easily pass off as high end boutique B&B in one of the Mediterranean countries. As one step is in the the property, it is striking to see the natural unhindered flora & its surrounding ecosystem. You need alot of sensitivity to allow the natural habitat to bloom yet to be able to maintain a classy decor. Guess this comes naturally to Desire and Sidney (our hosts) as charing as a couple one can hop
We traveled as a family of 4 . Two adults and two kids of 10 and 3. A drive of nearly 3 hours from Powai was a scenic one. As you approach Vikramgarh the greenery around you eases you from Mumbai city life to one of tranquility. As we arrived we we were warmly greeted by the Saffron stay staff Ayush and the caretaker, who made us feel comfortable and confident that we were going to have a memorable stay. Our cottage Elfreda was an exclusive Villa on the property which shares the gardens with the main house called Kenwood's. The cottage really impressed us in the class and elegant design of what we later realised was a signature style of the lady of the house , Desiree Gonzalvez, who is known for select projects around the city. We soaked in the outdoors and the elegantly designed indoors till we were treated to some rustic village food which all of us enjoyed immensely. The simplicity of the food in the setting so beautiful is a perfect example of what des
A very charming little cottage , fresh air and good company. We spent a weekend with friends and could not help but notice the loving care put into this home by the owners. We take back great memories of the place, beautiful green surroundings ,chirping of birds the pond and some delicious food. Would definitely recommend Elfreda to anyone looking out for serenity and calm away from the noise and dust of bustling city life.
The property ambiance and service was very good especially the caretaker's
A must visit place for a couple. Decor has been beautifully done by the owner
