Beautiful location and excellent staff. Vanita is a great cook. We visited in May when it was extremely hot so owners need to make arrangements for at least afternoon meals to be had inside

The villa is located at a very calm and peaceful place. The rooms and the pool was very clean and well maintained. We were a group of 8 people and kids. Both veg and non veg dishes were amazing and home cooked by the caretaker Mr and Mrs Kumbhar. The meals are highly recommended and were prepared as per our likings and request by them. Lastly the communication right from booking till checkout by Saffronstays responsible Mr. Admane made our stay stressfree.
