The house is great, with a great view and aesthetics. All rooms are equipped with jacuzzis and there is a huge hall for gathering and chit chat. The only stars are given for those. Here is a quick scan of things you shud do before booking - 1. Please check about the property link where it's mentioned that breakfast is mandatory and charges are 900 + taxes per person. Technically if you are 8 pax group on this 4 bhk villa there is a hidden cost more over and above what youl pay. 2. Bf is of v limited option where you can choose only 2 items, do-sent matter if you are 8-10 ppl. They are very stringent when it comes to follow the "rules. After a lot of requests and to and fro, we ended up paying for a bf of poha and plain dosa without sambar. It's basically a blanket money that they will charge in the garb of bf, the food worth is not even 500 bucks. 3. The kitchen is not operational for meals (lunch/dinner) and they have a menu printed out of some cheap restaurant in lonavala with very extrapolated pricing. You can only order from there, cannot order from anywhere else. The caretaker will take 2 hours to get food from the city which will cost 900 bucks as delivery charges extra above food. They have deployed very deceptive ways in the garb of charges which seem highly irrational. Kitchen does not have cooking facility, food you can order from the only restaurant they will give you option from and you end up paying 900 on delivery too, it becomes very disappointing after a while as you will spend a lot of time arguing on their rules this hampering overall stay experience. They don't seem forthright about and are very casual in their replies. Also the food was of very bad quality and taste. We literary cooked maggi and ate later on after throwing out most of the portion. Lastly the caretakers are not welcoming and are hostile to your requirements. They are lazy and response is very limited. Plus for everything youl order they keep coming for bills right away. They are reluctant to the request of putting it all together at check out or adjusting from the 12000 security deposit that they charge when you check in. Give this a miss. You will fall for the house and the images but the experience is you will come back tired and dejected after spending most of your time arguing and escalating while finding no solution. Writing this review from my home feels much more relaxed thin the relaxation and unwinding time we went for on this so called weekend getaway house.
