Set within a quiet gated pocket of the Lonavala hills, this standalone three-bedroom Villa unfolds across two levels, with a pool, a lawn and a terrace that belong to one group at a time. The gate closes behind you, and the hills take over, green through the monsoon and gold in the winter light, close enough to feel part of the house itself.

The upper floor holds two bedrooms, each with its own balcony. One is built around a generous seating balcony and a bathroom with a steam facility, the sort of room where an afternoon disappears without anyone noticing. The other, the largest in the home, looks out to the hills and comes with a private jacuzzi, a long soak with a view entirely to yourself. Downstairs, a third bedroom sits beside the garden, quiet at night.
