Had the most amazing two-day stay at Saanvi Farmhouse. Yes, the Farmhouse not the Homestay as we were upgraded to the more luxurious stay option! Let me tell you how that happened: The day before the we were supposed to arrive at Saanvi, we lost a close family member and could no longer travel. When I contacted MMT for a possible refund (according to policy we were not eligible for any as it was just 24 hrs before). However, MMT team coordinated with Saanvi team to let us travel in Oct and enjoy 2 days stay there at no extra charge. During this time, Huliraj from the Saanvi team contacted me multiple times to ensure we are travelling on the agreed date and even offered to send an auto to pick us up at the bus stand (at a reasonable cost). The personalised care much before our actual stay started with them was an unexpected but lovely touch. On the day we arrived, we were told they had opened a Farmhouse a few months ago and they would put us up there. The property was right next to a huge typical Hampi rock formation that made for a breathtaking view. The rooms were big, clean and tastefully decorated. There is a lovely dog Sweety and a few cats on the property who are absolutely adorable and love hanging out with the guests. One can have lovely South Indian breakfast in open air at a very low cost. Saanvi also offers an auto-service for your travel in Hampi, including drop-off at the bus stand while returning. While we did a bit of bargaining for this but everything about Saanvi indicated genuine hospitality principles. Our auto-sarathi, Wasim bhaiya, was the most wonderful guide to Hampi. He helped us discover a lovely Goa-vibes restaurant by the Tungabhadra river which we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. He took us to the Malyavantha Sunset point at the perfect time so we could find the perfect spot to sit before it got crowded. But most of all, he stayed with us for more than 45 mins near midnight on the day of return because our bus was late! Even the simple questions that the Saanvi team asked us as to how our trip was, were we enjoying enough, did we confirm the pickup point for return with the bus - all indicated to the presence of a mindful, caring hospitality and the lack of transactional mindset. Although I booked the home stay and cannot comment on how that property is, I definitely recommend Saanvi because of the wonderful team that will host you. Do give these guys a chance! I wish the best for Huliraj and team (he has wonderful visions with his property and I hope the dreams come true) - may you never lose this personal touch you offer to your guests!
