Use These 8 Hot Tips To Give Your Holiday Home Guests The Best Experience

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

It’s very tempting to open up your vacation home for guests and set up a sweet source of income. But that income depends on guests not only choosing your home for a holiday but also having a great time there. Remember, you aren’t just giving them a place to stay but rather curating an experience. So use these 8 tips for holiday homes to provide your guests with the finest vacation!

1. Prioritise safety 

SaffronStays Ambe Moha, Karjat

The overall safety of your holiday home should be your top priority! That includes everything from having sturdy door locks to following Covid-19 safety protocols. Keep the house free from fire hazards, cover loose wirings and inspect electrical appliances for any faults. Depending on the locality, add amenities to prepare for extreme weather conditions. Cover all your bases, so your guests can get a sound sleep at night and so can you!

2. Get high-quality furnishings

SaffronStays Horizon 360°, Mahabaleshwar

Your guests are going to expect their money’s worth. How do you give it to them? With high-quality furnishings like plush sofas, Instagram-worthy lighting, gorgeous dining areas, charming outdoor seating and memory foam mattresses that make them go wow. No penny pinching here. Give them a luxury filled holiday and it’s almost guaranteed that they will return someday. 

3. Paint a visual picture

Kairos Athena, Karjat

Part of curating a holiday experience is making your rental visually appealing. Nobody wants to feel like they’re still at home, they want to feel transported. So, pick an idea and then bring it to life. Use soft pastel paints and light curtains to make your guests feel like they’re in the clouds. Or pick nautical wall hangings and deep blue hues to make them feel out at sea. Whisk them away to a place of dreams!

4. Offer a fun-filled package

SaffronStays Casa Manga, Karjat

Some people like lazing around on holidays, but most enjoy throwing themselves into a flurry of activity. So whether it’s a pool table, a swimming pool, or a disco room, load up your vacation rental with a bunch of exciting activities. This is one of those tips for holiday homes that will not only keep spirits high but encourage longer holidays. Plus, your guests will love having a range of options to choose from!

5.  Top-notch food for every meal

SaffronStays Grand Mansion of Saipem Hills, Candolim, Goa

Three meals a day means that food makes up the majority of one’s holiday time, so it’s crucial that you get this right. In-house cooking services should cater to the majority of your guests, but also feature a variety to keep things exciting. Local delicacies are a must-have. Should the guests feel like it, they should have basic cooking facilities as well as a range of restaurants in and around the locality to order in!

6. Maximum privacy, minimum contact

SaffronStays One Tree Farm, Karjat

An important tip for a holiday home is to give your guests maximum privacy. The space should allow them to feel free to be themselves and let go of all their worries. Highly trained staff who approach only when needed and a quiet surrounding locality are a few ways to ensure this. You should also get the formalities out of the way at the beginning itself. The less you contact your guests, the more they will appreciate you. 

7. Stay there once a year 

SaffronStays Nadnanvan Estate, Tamil Nadu

The best way to craft a superb experience for your guests is to stay at the vacation home yourself, at least once a year. Putting yourself directly in the consumer’s shoes will enable you to find any gaps in your service and fill them, find any faults in the amenities and fix them. You’ll come across that loose handle or the broken toaster, which otherwise may have been overlooked. 

8. Hire a middle man

SaffronStays Fiesta, Nashik

Hiring a middle man will make things very easy for you and your clients. Experienced middlemen can handle all the in-betweens from logistics and pricing to cleanliness and sanitisation. And they can do it with an expertise that only increases the value of your home. An expert vacation rental partner like SaffronStays can make sure that you are giving your guests only the finest service, while managing everything on behalf of you.

So there it is. Follow these 8 tips for holiday homes and yours will be ready to provide the ultimate vacation! 

Remodeling your holiday home? Make sure to avoid these common mistakes!

Unveiling Hidden Secrets of Alibaug, Beyond Its Beaches

Posted in SaffronStays DiariesTagged , , , , , , , , ,
Hidden secrets of Alibaug

Alibaug, a coastal town off Mumbai is always living up to its hype of being a beautiful beach destination. But besides tourism, you’d be surprised to know that this coastal town is an amalgamation of history, culture, and art if you know the nooks to explore. From secluded beaches to quirky cafes matching the city vibe to forts that carry historical anecdotes and art galleries with a contemporary touch; Are you ready to explore the hidden secrets of Alibaug?

Turn the Pages of Unread Anecdotes in History 

Would you believe it if we told you Alibaug had its own currency at one point? Back in the 17th century, during the reign of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, many battles were fought at this naval base. At that time, Kanhoji Angre, after a win, issued his currency of a silver coin called the Alibagi rupaiya!

The place gets its nomenclature from a Bene Israelite man named Eli who owned gardens with mango and coconut plantations. The locals called it Eli chi baug or Ali’s garden which eventually transformed to Alibaug.
If you are keenly interested in more memoirs of the past and hidden secrets of Alibaug, then pay a visit to Korlai Fort, Hirakot Fort, Sagargad Fort and Murud-Janjira Fort here.

Leave an Imprint in Sands of Lesser-Known Beaches 

There is something ineffably soothing being in close proximity to a beach, the slow breeze caressing your face or waves inching further to touch your feet. The popular beaches of Alibaug, Nagaon and Kashid are riddled with tourists. But there are some relatively unnoticed spots, tucked a little further. Akshi beach, next to Nagaon sees a comparatively lesser crowd. Kasim beach, located about 30 km away in the town of Kashid is another beachside that evokes calm and tranquility. Saswane beach extending the coastline of Awas, is a good place to visit if you want to stir up conversations with the locals about their life at the sea. This town is home to a fishermen community.

With frequent tourists returning to the beaches of Alibaug, they, unfortunately, leave behind more than just their footprints. Wrappers, paper waste, snack bits, and a lot of plastic waste get irresponsibly thrown around on the beach shore. Taking up the responsibility to make the beaches look pristine again, SaffronStays and M2M Ferries in association with Beach Warriors are organizing Alibaug Beach Cleanup at Mandwa beach on February 28, Sunday from 9 AM to 11 AM. If you’d like to join us then Click here to register.

Relish and Learn The Culinary Culture!

To get the taste of a place, one has to indulge in the authentic flavours it offers. Alibaug serves as an introduction to the Konkan region of Maharashtra and thus Gomantak cuisine or seafood becomes a must-try. Sanmaan restaurant carries a legacy of over three decades. Established in 1980, they have secret recipes that are now carried forward by generations with no compromise in taste. Located on Varsoli beach, this hotel serves you the best at an affordable price. One of the hidden secrets of Alibaug to explore is the cafe culture. Bohemyan Blue on Alibaug- Rewas road is an open garden cafe with rustic feels. The wooden cane furniture, decorated flowy curtains, and abundance of shrubs around do present the Bohemian vibe, an ambiance that suits a brunch plan. You can choose your platter from Lebanese, Italian to some Konkani dishes.

Since we are talking about relishing good food, one can get to the other side of the preparations with Chef Moshe Shek’s culinary studio ‘A World Away.’ The chef behind popular boutique Cafe Moshe’s has set up a swanky school in Awas, a 25 mins ride from Alibaug. Within an atmosphere of tall trees and a well-maintained garden of fruits, vegetables and herbs one can learn to cook classic middle-eastern dishes to deliciously gooey desserts! 

Luxurious Stays All to Yourself 

SaffronStays Al Fresco in Alibaug
SaffronStays Al Fresco, Alibaug

Among the many hotels, resorts and homestays that welcome the tourists visiting this coastal town, there are private villas that offer you the entire place to yourself. Yes, you could have a place with private access to the beach or stare into the horizon from the azure blue pools! SaffronStays By The Beach, offers you an experience to enjoy the beachfront by lounging in a pool. This luxurious 5-bedroom villa welcomes you with a drive down on Mandwa beach, so you live right across the sandy shores.  

If you want a more serene ambiance, a little away from the beaches, then SaffronStays Al Fresco is a place you can consider. With a jacuzzi in an indoor swimming pool to expansive lawns outdoors, you have many ways to rejuvenate. A set up of movie night under the stars on the lush lawns outside, this goes beyond a 5-star living experience! 

If the oceanside is not your bait, then there’s a heritage property that will make you fall in love with it at first sight! SaffronStays Asanji Wadi in Alibaug eminently exudes a historic feel, right from its brick stone construction to the carefully picked interior decor items. Resurrected by the homeowners after the Bhuj earthquake, this home truly has stories to tell. 

Decoding Contemporary Art and Sculptures 

Alibaug may paint artistic sceneries with its natural bounty of ocean sunsets but it is also a secret haven for art lovers! Mumbai’s famous art gallery The Guild shifted here from Colaba back in 2015. Shalini Sawhney, the owner and director decided to move, to make art accessible to the real patrons who love visiting galleries. There is no urgency to catch up on exhibitions in the city chaos, but instead, art becomes a viewing and relaxing experience here. The place has been hosting several private collectors’ exhibitions for years. 

One of the most interesting art scenes and hidden secrets of Alibaug is the Ashirwaad Kaladalan, a Coconut Shell Art Gallery. It is a display of artist Vijayanand Shembekar’s talent for making artworks out of coconut shells and other items of the coconut tree. Broken and damaged coconuts, shells, leaves and stems are his only materials but he presents a marvelous gallery of over 400 pieces that will leave you spell-bound. From vehicles, intricate lamps, animals to human figurines, he’s carved art from what was tagged waste.

Another not-so-hidden secret of Alibaug, but still underexplored, is the Dashrath Patel Museum. This museum displays the creations of multi-disciplinary artist Dashrath Patel, who used paintings, pottery, photography, sculpting, and designs as his mediums of expression. An artist from L’Ecole Beaux Arts to becoming Founder Secretary of Education of NID Ahmedabad, Patel had interactions with luminaries of art and culture in his journey of exploring the field. The museum sheds light on his life and legacy, deserving a visit from true art lovers.

Tourists head to Alibaug with the alacrity of visiting the beaches but closer to the visible horizon are these gems of art, history, and culture, waiting to welcome a curious explorer.
