Bundi Vilas is a charming, new boutique property which
opened in September 2008. Built
against the rampart
walls of Bundi Garh Palace, which rise majestically
above the town, this
300 year old haveli is reachable
on foot via a twisting alleyway leading up from the
maze of
streets, and is entered through the original
magnificent 40ft -stone archway.
The seven
tastefully restored rooms have kept their
original character, whilst offering
modern amenities,
such as en suite bathrooms and A/C. The roof terrace
has exceptional
and romantic views of
the town, the
palace immediately behind, the pretty town, with its
cooling blue-painted houses
and the Jait
Sagar lake
below. Surrounded by the Aravali Hills,
with a ridge
of crumbling
battlements this
location transports one
back into the time of A
Thousand and One Nights
fantasy. |
Bundi is an unexplored and relatively undiscovered
splendour, located in the heart of
Rajasthan. The
palaces and forts have a fairy tale quality about them
and help to form the
most picturesque location, which
continues to remain isolated and independent. Wander
through the old walled town to discover crumbling
stucco havelis, traditional bazaars and the
old
vegetable market still visited by villagers who come
to the town each day to sell their
produce. The locals
are friendly and welcoming, and the town has an
atmosphere and
hospital ity that the tourists who come
find beguiling, making Bundi an appealing destination. |
