If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to pay luxury prices for a boot camp experience, look no further! This villa excels at offering strict schedules, firm rules, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you’re visiting your least favorite relative. The fun began with a call before we even arrived, where we were asked to make life-altering decisions like “What do you want to eat for the next 48 hours?”—no pressure. Apparently, spontaneity isn’t an option here, so we were expected to plan all our meals in advance, over the phone, ASAP. The property/villa operates with military precision. Timings for everything. Once there, we were greeted with a helpful staff whose favorite word seemed to be “no.” Want a cup of tea? “No, not now.” Fancy ordering something a la carte? “No, sorry.” You start to get the feeling they missed their calling as prison wardens.
They’re so good at saying no, it should be listed as an amenity. The rooms? Oh, where do I begin? Imagine if a room had been sealed since the Jurassic era. Dusty, stale, and fragrant in a way that only time and neglect can achieve. We got the full “rustic experience” when we had to urgently call for fresh sheets because the originals looked like they had just hosted a wrestling match. On the bright side, property location was amazing and the non-veg food was surprisingly good. I’d even go as far as to say it was the highlight of the stay. The veg dishes, though? Well, let’s just say they should stick to the non-veg. Overall, it’s the perfect spot if you love structure, dust curtains, dirty sheets, and a staff that’s here to remind you who’s really in charge.
