Mountain Villa is just amazing,the staff were so welcoming and down to earth,I feel like home,I am so glad that I choose this place to celebrate my first wedding anniversary Thanks to Sunita and team❣️Will visit soon Highly recommended
This was our favorite place to stay while traveling throughout south India. You can tell how much work was put into not just the airbnb, but the whole property itself, it truly looked like a 5 star resort with every detail well thought out. The villa was place right on the edge of the mountain with a backyard and a bench that looks out just 2 feet away from the cliff, a perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The owner was very responsive, and even when we she was away and has staff, she still checked in to see if everything was good or needed anything. 10/10 would stay again.
An incredible setting, you feel very remote and get amazing views, especially in the early morning. The food was exceptional too, really well cooked - shout out to Mohan the chef. It was also interesting to learn about the story behind Mountain Villa, including the struggles to build somewhere so remote and to make it carbon positive.
