Description from owner
Description
Our boutique VILLA is 1.5 kms away from the hustle & bustle of the Nasik metropolis.Yet, we are ensconced in nature. Situated on a 2-acre farm, with sprawling lawns, hammocks & antique 'jhoolas' ( swings ) strung under the shade of fragrant frangipani, neem & mango trees emphasize the tranquility at the VILLA. Huge, clean, aesthetically curated rooms, are adorned with antique teak furniture. Treks, lake-swims,temple / heritage / meadow walks, wineries, ornithologists delight, family recipes for meals. BLISS.
YOUR HOSTS : UTTARA & ADWAIT.
Twenty years ago, Uttara and I met while working at the Taj. We wanted to move away from the putrid existence of Mumbai, and thus, moved to a quieter, fresher Nashik. We've had three restaurants in Nashik and now live on our farm on the outskirts of the city.
We have two daughters, who've moved back to the very city that we chose to leave and we're both currently in an empty-nest syndrome mode. That's why we've chosen to open our home to fellow travellers.
We love travelling and have extensively backpacked across India, Europe and America. We love swimming in lakes (Nashik has so many of them), trekking and exploring off-beaten tracks on our bullet mobike.
Designers by profession, the hosts have spared no effort in making their 'nest' into a homely, 'gemutlich' abode, that resonates with positive vibes.
Painstakingly designed & well-executed interiors add to the uniqueness of the villa. Eco-friendly furniture (all hand-crafted from reclaimed, antique teak-wood) with high ceilings, huge windows, with soft, bounced warm light adds to the romance. Good music & a bottle of wine completes the picture inside their home.
On the terrace is the host's in-house furniture & accessories studio, with absolutely lust-worthy artifacts, waiting to be picked up. Gazing at a clear star-lit night in the comfort of an arm-chair on their huge terrace, will want you to come back again & again.

“Designer home on nature's edge”
Staying as guests of Adwait and Uttara is a real treat. Their house is beautiful - architect-designed and full of Adwait's furniture made from antique reclaimed wood found and repurposed by him.… More

Response from the owner thank you for your flattering review, dear anneka. we were indeed very happy to host the Elwes family. all of you blended into our way of life seamlessly. we were slightly apprehensive that you may find our food spicy, only to learn that your tolerance levels were much higher than ours ! you kept your rooms clean and also helped in clearing the table after dinner. a sign of a well-traveled family. your knowledge of India was pleasantly high, and the ability to soak in the vagaries of a new place, made you a wonderful family to have over. we sure hope you return to nasik in the near future. the best part of letting out our home, is that we make new friends for life and learn interesting things about each others cultures & experiences. stay well, dear friends. until we meet again. regards, uttara & adwait kher

Response from the owner dear reena & pankaj, when we have guests like you, letting out our home becomes such a wonderful experience. both of you were well educated, polite and a delight to befriend. its always so interesting when traveled people like you cite experiences and compare notes. sadly, we could not go on treks or lake walks, which i would be so eager to conduct on your next visit. i'm glad you liked our hospitality, just as much as we liked hosting the both of you. here's hoping to meet you in the near future. wishing you all the very best in life, warm regards, uttara & adwait kher

Response from the owner The Tamhanes were such perfect guests. It is delightful to exchange stories with well traveled people. Our proximity to the wineries seemed to have gone down well with them. We are glad they liked the interiors of our villa & it felt nice to have our hospitality appreciated. We are happy that they participated in the lake walks and heritage walks with us. We made (new ) friends for life. We would love to have you back, dear Tamhanes. Until then, stay well my friends.
