There’s no greater joy than finding a homely villa when you're out of the city for your vacation. And Pearl LakeView Mansion By StayVista offers just that. The moment you step into the villa, you'll be overwhelmed (in a good way though!) with its spaciousness and luxury. The villa is massive, with enough room for all your peeps in the squad to do their own thing without getting in each other's way. And believe me when I say this, there's a lot you can do here.
If you love nature, you're in luck! Overlooking a serene lake called Vaitarna Lake, this luxurious property is nestled amidst the lush hills of Igatpuri. The simple decor seamlessly blends with modern amenities. I was there with my family for two nights, and it honestly felt like we had entered some kind of time warp. Do you know how vacations usually fly by? Not here. Every moment felt stretched out, in the best possible way. We kept finding new things to do and explore, to the point where we actually forgot about the outside world for a bit.
While all 5 bedrooms offer breathtaking views and their own balconies, all we wanted to do was spend most of our time outside of them, to be more specific — in the infinity pool. The azure, infinity pool invites you to take a refreshing dip. Unlike any other pool, it is chlorine-free, which means no red eyes or weird smell — just pure, refreshing bliss. I may or may not have spent half my time there pretending to be a mermaid (don't judge please)!
For the game enthusiasts like my brother, the gaming room was no less than paradise. All the games you can think of — snooker, table tennis, Jenga, Carrom Board, Pictionary, Monopoly, and even foosball table were there. If Chandler and Joey from Friends were there, they'd never leave. But what stood out to me was the private theatre. When you are ready to unwind, this is the room where you want to be. It's like having your own personal PVR or INOX but with comfier seats and the freedom to pause for snack runs. And if you’re staying with your kids here, the villa also has a play area outside where there are a lot of outdoor games.
Now talking about the heart of any memorable stay — the food. While Pearl LakeView Mansion By StayVista doesn’t claim gourmet status, you are sure to have hearty, homestyle meals here. Comfort food that satisfies the soul. Since the villa is far away from the market, you have to confirm your menu of breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner at least 1-2 days in advance.
LBB Tip: When it’s not raining, you can ask the staff to set up the breakfast spread in the Gazebo upstairs. You can sip on your tea/coffee while enjoying the panoramic view of the mountains and lake.
The staff ensures your stay is nothing short of perfect. They give you the privacy you need while being attentive to your every whim. It's the kind of place where you lose track of time and forget about the outside world. Whether you're planning a getaway with your family, a reunion with your friends, or just need a break from the daily grind with your partner, this place ticks all the boxes.
LBB Tip: The last kilometre of the road leading to the property is rather rough. Make sure you drive safely from there.
