Kalasita Farm Residency Panchgani

Hills with deep valleys covered with mist and a glimpse of a lake through the hill-window — what a mind-boggling view one can enjoy from the balcony or sitting on the bed through a large French window. No, it’s no imagination or dream — it’s a reality that we enjoyed for five days, from one ‘King Room with Mountain Valley View’, of Kalasita Farm Residency in Panchgani, Mahabaleswar in Maharashtra. A small budget hotel (with 9 rooms including two family rooms) is quite neat and clean and has a kitchen and dining area on the top floor. We had our breakfast, lunch and dinner here freshly made as per our choice. The foods were no doubt very tasty. One may also buy food from outside and enjoy it sitting in the room by ordering through Zomato. Although we visited in January, we got the taste of the rainy season for one day sitting idle, enjoying nature and sometimes watching TV. We toured Panchgani and Mahabaleswar in a cab arranged by the hotel, who also arranged for us a to-and-fro pick-up journey from the bus-stop to the hotel. The staffs are very polite and attending. If we ever visit Panchgani again, no doubt we will stay here.
