Inspired by the mid-19th century era that witnessed a two-decade obsession with octagonal houses, this postcard-perfect home can only be described as charismatic. Perched on the craggy hills of Uttarakhand, architectural elegance is on full display at this spectacular villa. With verdency stretched out before you and breezy balconies to snooze away in the late afternoon sun, it'll be hard to feel anything but relaxed here. When evening falls, guests can dig into an al fresco Kumaoni feast as the sun sets into the hills. Inside is just as serene, with plenty of classic regal charm, magnificent antique beds, traditional bukhāri and fireplaces. Grab a book and curl up or kick back with a glass of wine and catch up on your favourite cinematic hits on the outdoor projector!
