5 Types Of Private Villas That Offer Distinctly Unique Experiences

While private villas for rent may sound all the same to you, there is more to it than meets the eye. Villas include a range of holiday homes that provide different types of holiday experiences, from vacations filled with exciting activities outdoors and rustic living to getaways meant for just lazing around, glamping and camping. Check out these different types of private luxury villas with their own and pick the one that suits you best!

1. Rustic Farmhouses  

Located on acres of thriving land, farmhouses are the perfect place to reconnect with nature. These predominantly rustic-style villas with airy rooms are miles away from the chaos of city life and allow guests to savour fresh air, lush fields, the cool waters of rivers and lakes, as well as a lip-smacking farm-to-table experience for all meals. You can engage in authentic farm activities like relishing guavas and mangoes picked right from the trees at SaffronStays Amrai By The River or help in milking the resident cows at SaffronStays SanvinaFarm. Enjoy alfresco dining under the splendid boughs of a Jamun tree at SaffronStays Aatman or try its unique glamping option. Spend your days at ease among vibrant flora and fauna, let your heart slow down in the pleasant weather and your mind find peace under a blanket of stars. 

Ideal for those looking to connect with nature, savour clean air and live the farm life


2. Private Estates

If you are looking for wider properties and larger spaces, these villas are your best bet. With estates you not only get the vacation home itself but also the surrounding area. You could opt for a lakeside retreat under blue skies, with surrounding orchards, a lawn for games of cricket and a pool with a view at SaffronStays Moira. Or you could choose the sprawling SaffronStays Foresta By The Lake where the property is shaded with gorgeous eucalyptus, ficus and mango trees and hosts vibrant seating areas that make great bonding sessions. Looking for a five-star experience? Pamper yourself to a luxurious stay at SaffronStays Casa Del Palms, whose grand manor-like structure and sprawling outdoor seating arrangements will make you feel like royalty.

Ideal for feeling like you own a resort, with so much to do, explore and experience!

3. Quaint Cottages

Cottages are cosier villas, often sporting a feature that connotes a hint of the traditional — like wooden exteriors, tiled roofs or four-poster beds. Head to these dreamy locations if you’re looking for a holiday with all the comforts of home, including home-made local delicacies, and a touch of the exotic. The best part? You have the option to choose between an intimate villa for a couple’s getaway or a set of adjacent cottages for a fun group vacation at places like SaffronStays Athaang (Tarang, Megh, Trishna). Cottages offer the ultimate privacy and some outstanding views, like SaffronStays Villa 270°, a hilltop luxury villa for rent that overlooks the Konkan coast and the mesmerising Arabian Sea. SaffronStays Misty Mountain in Pali, are another of fabulous cottages with homecooked food and stunning views of mountains as far as the eyes can see.

Ideal for cosy, coastal holidays with friends or even a fun workaction with colleagues combining business and relaxation

 

4. Contemporary Cabins

Cabins are similar to cottages but lean towards modern aesthetics and stylish interiors, while maintaining the cosy, intimate vibe. SaffronStays All That Jazz is a glass treehouse situated in the midst of a forest that is an ideal example of a cabin. The five-star level interiors will wrap you up in comfort while the surrounding greenery creates a totally immersive experience. While cabins are great for staycations, there are thrilling holiday activities like kayaking and cycling around the property to keep you entertained. At luxury villas for rent like SaffronStays Hillside Harriers you can discover true luxury by relaxing in bathtubs, lounging on silky cushioned chairs and sipping on wine under a dazzling sunset. In the mood to return to your roots? Your stay at SaffronStays The Glasshouse will have you feeling closer to the Earth with its window walls and proximity to Panchgani’s wildlife. 

Ideal for intimate couple’s holidays or small families looking for climbing, bird watching & some adventure

5. Private Villas

Villas are those that usually fall somewhere in between the above categories. They are large properties located away from crowded areas that can accommodate big groups and put forth a wide range of amenities. Those looking for an escape can opt for the old world charm of the traditional-style SaffronStays Calamondinn Bungalow. Here, you’ll get to explore the surrounding coffee plantation and beekeeping facilities while also feasting on local dishes made with home grown herbs, honey and milk! On the other end of the spectrum is SaffronStays Elysian, a modern Dehradun villa with a sleek build and elegant interiors or SaffronStays Barney and Slate in Lonavala with breathtaking views that stimulate conversations and bring people closer. These multi-bedroom private villas are a safe, sanitised and solitary space made for you to have the best holiday possible!

Ideal for small and large group vacations, celebrations and get-togethers!
