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

If you desire to unplug, literally and

Meander through the orchards and pick
your fruits, chase the ducks and
peacocks for a photograph or relax by

your hand at pottery, mountain bike or
lounge by the pool. For the ultimate in
pampering, embark on a day-long spa
safari with multiple treatments and
