How Private Villas Add a Charm to Intimate Celebrations

Posted in SaffronStays DiariesTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

We learned one of the greatest lessons in 2020- gratefulness for every moment of our life. As things start looking a little brighter this time around, we eagerly look forward to celebrating life in itself. It need not be a birthday or occasional party, but the idea of relaxing, taking time off to rejuvenate feels desirable. A cherry on the cake of your celebrations is when you truly make an experience of it. Celebrating in private villas or homes is a step up over hotel rooms or banquet halls because they provide a well-curated experience just for you. And we have many such reasons for you to come, celebrate with SaffronStays…

Unparalleled Privacy

An entire place to yourself, with nobody else to pry on what you do, what you wear or how weirdly you laugh. You can do the embarrassing dance moves by the private pools or flaunt your sporty side on gaming lawns, our private villas near Mumbai, Lonavala, or Alibaug all are equipped with various facilities for guests to choose from. While you enjoy, our chefs and caretakers on site will ensure you get the best hospitality. 

Safe and Sanitised Villas

It’s become a norm to check on the hygiene standards and practices being followed whenever you book a place for a vacation now. All our private villas and homes are regularly sanitized and keep up with the safety protocols as per the Govt. So be rest assured that your safety is also our concern, that we fully address. 

Intimate Celebrations Stay Intimate

Celebrate with your loved ones!

The premise of having small, intimate gatherings is to only have people that you really want by your side. When booking private villas for wedding-related events, it gives a space and time to personally bond with your people, instead of the rushed hi-hellos and plastered smiles.

With SaffronStays, you can choose an occasion — pre-wedding party, roka, wedding to reception and leave it to us with the arrangements to make it a memorable one for you! Don’t stress over what can go wrong, when you can focus on what to make right- a choice to select private villas for your intimate celebrations. You will cherish your special moments when you exactly remember how happy you felt in them.

Freedom of Choice

Relax in a way you wish to!

You have a lot of free time on your hands when you are being taken care of by someone else. There’s no worry about what’s cooking for breakfast or lunch, or what tasks need to tick off the routine. In spacious villas, one can have the ‘Me-time’ or ‘Us-time’ as you desire, by the pool, walking on the lawn, playing games, or curl up with a book in a cozy corner. You have the flexibility to spend your time as you want, something that you cannot do at your own home at times. That essence of being free of restrictions or responsibilities even for a day or two is so engrossing.

The Foodie Experience

The food you eat during your vacation is also very much a part of your memories. How many times have Dal Makhni or Chicken Masala Curry from fancy hotels tasted distinctly different? But when you’re staying at private villas like ours, where chefs have their own specialties infused with local tastes, food also becomes part of an experience. Have a preference for veg-only homes? We got that too! From coastal style curries at beachside homes in Alibaug, to farm-to-table experiences at private villas in Karjat, your stay with us also serves you some delectable dishes.

Home For Every Vibe Tribe

What is your vibe for celebrations? Taking a nature’s retreat, cousins’ reunion, family staycation, work with a view, girls getaway or occasions — we have luxurious private homes that match it. Wake up to sunrise views over mountain valleys at beautiful villas in Lonavala or to the sound of sea waves by staying at a beach-facing private villa in Alibaug, go organic farming in rustic homestays around Mumbai or plan a workation from WiFi-equipped private homes. We have pet-friendly homes around Mumbai and Pune, so a getaway with your pooch, why not? 

Celebrate You!

Last, but not least — celebrate you for being you! We all have seen difficult times, dealt with extra pressure, crumbled even but here we are again. Owe up to that, to give yourself a celebration you deserve. With the whole place to yourself in private villas, you need not have a show-and-tell, but a quiet celebration of just your family. Go all out with your favorite playlist or elusively finish that self-help book that you’ve been putting away.

Be grateful to you, your loved ones, celebrate life with SaffronStays, and let us be the gracious hosts to add the feathers on your party hats! 

60+ & Vaccinated? Celebrate Your Freedom At Elderly-Friendly Homes

Posted in SaffronStays DiariesTagged , , , , , , , , ,

The year 2020 was one of the toughest ones to get through for most people, especially for our senior citizens. The elderly family members have been cocooned indoors, nowhere to go without the feeling of fear and dependency. But the thought of breaking out of that anxiousness and living life again sparks an ineffable joy! The ongoing COVID-19 vaccination drive for people above the age of 60 asserts this positivity. To celebrate this very sense of liberation, SaffronStays brings a never before ‘Summer of 60’ offer for vaccinated people above the age of 60 to take day trips. Our safe and sanitized elderly-friendly homes near Mumbai and Pune are ready to welcome your senior citizens’ group (post vaccinations) and thoroughly experience living again!

For Mr. Gurunath, a 65-year-old from Mumbai, “It feels like a long wait…” Having spent the entire time watching the reruns of TV serials, he can finally catch up with his friends from the senior citizens’ club much better. Staying with his son and daughter-in-law, who both were mostly adjusting to their work from home schedules, Mr. and Mrs. Gurunath were happy to have them around but certainly missed going out. “For this younger generation, time passes quickly because they have their work keeping them occupied. Their phones have become their source of entertainment. I tried to learn using smartphones but there’s no comparison to the in-person communication.” he smiled. On his willingness to travel, he quipped, “Yes, I feel positive (not COVID positive) now. Our club members can finally catch up together.” There’s joy within him!

To tend to such joyousness, safe and sanitized homes, lush green lawns, good quality food, and cordial hospitality is a must. A retreat like this is possible at a private villa near Mumbai like SaffronStays Casa Manga in Karjat. This spacious villa has several spots, indoors as well as outdoor where everyone can just sit together and talk their hearts out or debate like old times! The housekeeping staff can serve fresh veg or non-veg meals as per your preference. 

For elderly couples who live away from their children, the vaccinations feel like a rainbow over dark clouds. “We had to wait for certain days of the month when my daughter Neeru would pay a visit, stay with us for a day or two, stock up on all the things needed and every time she left she’d ask us to come with her, but we refused. Now once we get our doses, we can not only visit her, but I can also go meet my sister and friends,” says Ms Jha from Pune who has registered for the vaccinations next week. “I am going to take a break from home,” she jubilantly declares. 

These sentiments of people above 60 getting to step out without being constantly instructed to, is giving them a much-awaited sense of freedom. But to plan a senior citizens’ getaway, there needs to be a surety of safety beyond exposure to the virus. Choosing safe and private villas near Mumbai or Pune is a great way to ensure there won’t be other people around, plus you will be attentively catered to. Thus, applying the filter of elderly-friendly homes nearby makes fair sense. SaffronStays Constellations Orion in Khandala fits the bill. The 5-bedroom villa has a private elevator, one need not worry about going to the upper floors to enjoy views of the surroundings.

Alibaug has become a persuasive spot as a quick getaway near Mumbai, thanks to the RoRo ferry taking only an hour to reach. For elderly members wanting to truly experience the outdoors, beach vibes with a boat ride, getaway to elderly-friendly villas like SaffronStays 9 Palms in Alibaug is ideal. Located just 15 mins away from Mandwa Jetty, this 5-bedroom pool villa home will woo everyone with its lush green surroundings. The joyful reunion of a laughter club can reverberate in the bamboo plantations outdoors. And to be treated to a delectable fish fry and Raigad-style Chicken curry by our in-house chef is another delight!

My grandparents are yet to even enroll in the vaccination process, but on asking them if they’d love to go on a getaway later they said the most precious words, “It would feel like we are living again”. More than us, it is the elderly who have lost out on some of the simple moments – the interactions, the evening breeze, the knitting lessons, the smiles, the essence of living life.

Here’s a chance to help them live and love life again.

In this once-in-a-lifetime offer, the day packages start as low as Rs. 1999 onwards (for minimum pax of 12) or a 30% off for overnight stays in our elderly-friendly homes. The main criteria is that all the senior members should be vaccinated. Contact us here to know more about the Summer of 60 Offer!
