Guest Reviews
We had a wonderful stay at Hillside Serenity—such a peaceful and beautiful property. Everything was well-maintained and perfect for a relaxing getaway. A special thanks to Shital Baba, the caretaker, for his exceptional service and warm hospitality. He truly made our stay even more comfortable and memorable!
We had a wonderful stay at Hillside Serenity in Lonavala! All four rooms were super neat and clean, and the whole place had such a peaceful vibe. The moment the villa gate opened, we were greeted by beautiful greenery and serene idols. A special shoutout to Bapa and his son who warmly welcomed us. Bapa’s wife, Sheetal, was always around and ready to help. Overall, it was a perfect getaway!
Wow! Amazing stay with Baba & Sheetal. They were very cooperative and helpful & most important—delicious food and amazing place to stay! The caretakers were awesome, beautiful place and well maintained. 10/10!
Rating 4 star. We had a nice experience. The staff was good. Baba & Sheetal both were cooperating & helpful. The only thing was there were 5 bedrooms in the bungalow. Only 1 bedroom was not well connected. The geyser was also not working in that room. The entry of the room was from outside, near the swimming pool which was a major drawback. Rest the location of bungalow is perfect.
It was a great experience, the Villa was clean and everything was thoughtfully designed. Each room had colour theme, which gave personalized feeling. Caretaker Sheetal and Baba was very caring and served us well. The Stay Ananta chef and kitchen team Prathamesh Chaugule, Akshay, Sushant and rest of the team served us delicious food. Food quality and quantity was great. Very good hospitality!
