SAFFRONSTAYS NISARGA<br />
If you’d like to combine your trip with a<br />
little, or a lot, of R&R in a luxurious<br />
setting, then SaffronStays Nisarga is<br />
sure to fit the bill. This Maharashtrian<br />
wada style home has only three<br />
bedrooms, so privacy is guaranteed.<br />
Beyond the beautiful art-filled<br />
interiors, the highlight is the property’s<br />
tranquil lawns the perfect spot to<br />
snuggle up when evening comes. The<br />
bedrooms whisper understated chic<br />
with sumptuous four-poster beds,<br />
vintage fixtures, antique furniture and<br />
contemporary artwork. The<br />
humongous bathrooms are fitted with<br />
sunken bathtubs ideal for long soaks. To<br />
ramp up the romance, book room No 2<br />
for its cute verandah sit-out and<br />
stunning views of the gorgeous sunset.<br />
Outside of the bedrooms, most action<br />
occurs in the living room. Here, you can<br />
relax with a book on the vintage<br />
armchair, overlooked by antiques and<br />
the mountains. The food here has the<br />
potential to keep you in the property<br />
throughout your stay. However if you do<br />
choose to explore, there are temples and<br />
a fort to visit.<br />

FAZLANI NATURE’S NEST,<br />
VADGAON<br />
If you desire to unplug, literally and<br />
figuratively, then try this eco-conscious<br />
and extraordinarily beautiful resort<br />
with unspoiled natural settings, crisp<br />
air and a plethora of outdoor activities.<br />
Meander through the orchards and pick<br />
your fruits, chase the ducks and<br />
peacocks for a photograph or relax by<br />
the lakeside. If you can tear yourself<br />
away from your cottage, you can go<br />
horseback riding (the resort has an<br />
equestrian center), visit a rose farm, try<br />
your hand at pottery, mountain bike or<br />
lounge by the pool. For the ultimate in<br />
pampering, embark on a day-long spa<br />
safari with multiple treatments and<br />
healthy meals. The views from the<br />
villas here are simply staggering.<br />
