Namita SawantWeekend retreats at Lonavala during winters have become a ritual for us. Although they come with their own set of challenges, as huge crowds head to this hill station close to Mumbai and Pune. Finding the right villa in Lonavala with pool is a daunting task. Sometimes the cost is too high, and most times the pictures on travel sites don’t match the property. This time around, we didn’t book our accommodation in advance and instead went with the flow. What we did end up getting was possibly the best one given the price.
After a mixed experience at Hotel Gautam Lonavala, a Rajasthani-themed palace resort located near the Lonavala bus stand, we decided to go for an independent villa. Here’s all you need to know about booking your stay at a luxurious 3BHK villa in Lonavala with a swimming pool.
Bhumi villa in Lonavala with Pool
Bhumi Villa is located in the popular area of Gold Valley, approximately 2 miles from Lonavala railway station. It is situated just behind the Radisson Resort & Spa Lonavala. The story of how we found this villa is interesting. We packed our bags and reached Lonavala around 2 pm. A friend in our group had shortlisted an Airbnb property but had not made a booking. Somehow, locating that property on Google Maps we reached the location. However, the villa listed on Airbnb was already booked. Fortunately, the caretaker led us to another property. Surpassing the GST that we had to otherwise bear for an Airbnb, we landed this property at a good deal – around 11k for the night (yay 😊).
Facilities at Bhumi Villa in Lonavala
- Air-conditioned villa, not that you need AC in the winter. The climate was pleasant.
- Three bedrooms
- Four bathrooms
- A furnished living room, with carrom board and music speaker
- A fully equipped kitchen
- Swimming pool
- An enclosed terrace where you can enjoy dinner.
- Free wi-fi
- Parking
- On-demand food, which was yummy and reasonable.
The Private Pool:
The major draw for us at this villa was the attached swimming pool. The luxury of having a private pool cannot be overstated. After a relaxing evening swim, we also enjoyed a morning splash in the pool. The kids were overjoyed playing in the 5-feet deep pool. It’s worth noting that there isn’t much space for walking, or a garden attached to this property.
Nearby attractions to Bhumi villa in Lonavala
The famous Tiger Point is located 8.7 miles from the villa. After our checkout, we visited Tiger Point, where the kids in our group enjoyed horse and camel rides. On the way to Tiger Point, you can make a stop at Bushi Dam. However, the best time to visit Bushi Dam is in monsoon. Additionally, within walking distance from the villa is Kune Waterfalls. Adlabs Imagica is also close by, approximately 15 miles away.
Conclusion:
Bhumi Villa is a comfortable and cozy property. The cleanliness of the place added an extra layer of satisfaction, especially considering our past experiences with hygiene issues in similar villas in Lonavala. My stay at the 3BHK villa in Lonavala with pool was a perfect blend of relaxation, luxury, and wonderful memories. Whether you are planning a celebration with family or a get-together with friends, Bhumi Villa is a great choice.
