Lonavala is one of the Sahyadris’ most celebrated retreats — where green valleys, ancient forts and monsoon waterfalls conspire to slow the city pace right down. Apukaa sits near Pawna on the quieter, more elevated stretch of this beloved hill station, offering the kind of seclusion that most Lonavala villas only promise. The landscape here is wilder, the views broader, and the stillness noticeably deeper.

Guest Reviews
An absolute dream stay! The villa was spotless, beautifully designed, and so peaceful. We were 10 adults and 3 kids, the villa is extremely spacious. Every detail was thoughtful from the cosy interiors to the calm poolside views. It truly felt like a private escape. Special thanks to Mukesh, Akash and Chef Mahesh for the amazing hospitality. Every moment felt effortless and serene. Highly recommend for anyone who just wants to unwind. Can’t wait to come back!
Great place. The hosts were very communicative and helped us with the check-in smoothly. Nice views from the villa. Lots of games to keep everyone occupied. Everything was great overall!
Good property and views, but the best part was the service and courteous staff — Vishnu and team looked after us well.
Overall experience is good for stay and hospitality. Excellent food, prepared and served by Vishnu and team. Thanks for your service.
Very nice house, great experience, the staff Suraj and Vishnu were very helpful. Food was good.
We stayed at the villa with our family for two days and had a wonderful experience. Bishnu, Bikas and Netrapal were extremely helpful and professional throughout our stay, making sure everything was comfortable and well-managed. The food was delicious, and the property itself is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a great family vacation. The highlight, of course, is the stunning view of the hills, which made the stay even more special. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for a relaxing getaway with family. Highly recommended!
Brilliant place and great food, Vishnu the caretaker was of great help and support, Abhishek his support person was brilliant. Overall a memorable experience.
Had a wonderful stay at the villa! The property was clean, spacious, and very well maintained. The ambiance was peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. A special mention to caretaker Ramu. He is extremely helpful, polite, and always available whenever needed. He really made our stay comfortable. Highly recommended!
Excellent food and service. Property was clean. Washrooms required a few fixtures being a new property. The local caretakers are much better and accommodative on menu alterations. Going forward, paying for the butler service rather than the full food package is the best way to go. The property and staff are good — a relook at policies and pricing for food would make it even better.
Suraj and Bismal were great with the service and food.
Very good stay. Very hospitable staff. Will definitely visit again.
We stayed at the villa for 1 night and no doubt the location was amazing and the rooms were clean and the staff was very polite — Bishnu, Vikas and Netrapal Ji, everyone was friendly and the food they served was superb.
Vishnu and Suraj with his BBQ and service were awesome. Need improvements in the water heating capabilities in the room. Thanks.
Amazing stay, excellent hospitality, Suraj and Vishnu took very good care. Great food.
Staff, especially Ramu Sharma, was very helpful. Food was excellent.
Apukaa Hills struck the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. Days started with bird calls and fresh air, evenings with laughter around the poker table and starlit skies. Interiors are beautifully done.
It’s been lovely staying here. The property is awesome and the team at property (Bishnu and team) has been very helpful and they cook really amazing food!
10 of us thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay, place is at the top of the hill, very scenic, staff is literally 24/7 available, all arrangements especially barbecue was excellent.
This accommodation delivers on comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. The standout feature is the reliable service from caretakers Bishnu and Suraj. Bishnu handles everything efficiently, from smooth check-in to practical local advice. Suraj provides excellent homemade meals that are fresh, well-prepared, and authentic — curries, rice, and rotis done right every time. I strongly recommend this place for anyone seeking dependable hospitality and quality food.
