The rooms of the villa beautifully frame the peaks of </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Machendragad and Gorakhgad</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">, one of the most popular trekking sites in Maharashtra. Needless to say, you’re in for an unprecedented visual treat.&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">The perfect amalgamation of luxury and country leisure, as you enter the property, you are welcomed by the </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">undulating rooftop gardens</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">. The unending lush greens will at first leave you wondering where the villa is!</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">As you take a stroll on the driveway, the home reveals itself in snippets until you reach the entrance stairway. The staircase is made completely from natural rock recovered from the land itself.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">At the outset of the drive in itself, you know that you are about to be one with nature. A short flight of stairs leads you down to the grand, </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">organically shaped entrance door</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> and what lies behind it, is possibly one of the most extraordinary homes you’ve ever seen.&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Walking into the spacious, living room with an open planned kitchen will remind you of a home you’ve read about in a book or watched in a movie because of the form of the structure. Despite being cave-like, the living room is brightly lit with </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">natural sunlight</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> coming through the </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">curved windows</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> and </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">skylights in the roof</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">. A large boulder discovered on the site has been cleverly modeled into a </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">coffee table </strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">and the</span><strong style="background-color: transparent;"> dining table</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> too is a cantilevering marvel. This vivacious space has comfortable seating for 15 people and it makes the perfect setting to unwind and engage in conversation with the family or hum some tunes along with the karaoke system.&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">The 8-seater dining table by the kitchen is where you can enjoy hearty meals. With Signature villas come our </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Signature curated menus</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">, offering the choicest selections of food and beverage across various cuisines. From </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">local food</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> made from regional produce to an </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">exotic international spread</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">, both, our comfort Indian selections as well as fine dining offerings will leave you satiated.&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Adjoining the living room is the </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">first bedroom</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> (with an ensuite bathroom) that has a skylight right above the bed from where you can watch the stars twinkle while drifting off to a sound sleep.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">A short passage with 4 steps leads you from the living room to the </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">second bedroom </strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">(without an ensuite bathroom) with a washroom across it. The passage is illuminated by a series of skylights and this cheerful bright spot makes for great Instagramable shots. The passage with an </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">earthy mosaic dome atrium</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> bedecked with Aqua designer ceramic pottery in various shapes and sizes ends at the </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">master bedroom</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> that opens up to a deck and </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">swimming pool, overlooking grassy hillocks</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">, open fields, and hills. For those looking to swim away their worries, the pool also sports a rain shower. The pitter-patter of the shower not only makes the pool more enjoyable but also leaves the space reverberating with the calming sound of moving water. The large washroom attached to the master bedroom features a shower on the rocks, another great, ‘Instagrammable’ spot.&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">The side door of the living room takes you up a gradual, paved slope and onto the second structure of this villa. There are </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">2 bedrooms</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> (with ensuite bathrooms) in this structure.</span><strong style="background-color: transparent;"> A second, private pool</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> enclosed by boulders and a deck welcomes you to this villa. With ample seating, a bar counter, and a sink the deck is a great space to enjoy a sundowner and soak in the tranquility of nature. This structure also has its private entrance from the outside.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">While the indoors are filled with </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">board games</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">, </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">carrom, foosball table,</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> and cards - the fun doesn’t stop there! You can enjoy a pleasant evening on the rooftop garden and watch the sun set into the horizon, lie down on the grass and watch as the stars fill the sky.&nbsp;A </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">bonfire or barbecue</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> too can be arranged on request to elevate the evening setting.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">It is not rare for rainbows or fireflies to make an appearance at SaffronStays AsanjA in season! Surrounded by nature all around, one can also walk a </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">nature trail</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> and spot various species of birds and plants throughout the property.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Trust us when we say, this home is a </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">photography enthusiast &amp; nature lover’s delight</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">.
