A Historical Stay in a 15th Century Haveli!

This 15th Century Haveli (Hava+Veli – meaning a building having great ventilation) used to be the house of my forefathers one of whom was the teacher to the Maharaja’s Family and the city. The interiors of this building are untouched and are a glimpse into the history of the place. I have tried my best to keep this place intact with its historical essence yet provide modern amenities. Here, you’ll be wedged in time and have the most memorable and historical experience of your life. The space The Place: This 15th century house where you will be living during your stay was built by my forefathers and I’m the 18th Generation of their family residing in this property.
