In early 2008 we spent several weeks travelling around northern and western India, staying mostly in comfortable city hotels (we both have to take care of our health). We had a really tremendous time, but perhaps the most enjoyable couple of days were spent at this wonderful sanctuary, located about twenty kilometres outside of Jaipur, in rural Rajasthan. The hotel's... more

Savista Retreat is what it claims to be--a rural retreat from the noise, bustle and overwhelming human presence of the large Indian city. Located close to village life, Savista Retreat is a thirty minutes' drive from Jaipur. The sprawling haveli-style "hotel" in a twelve-acre garden and farm setting is the home of a native of Rajasthan and descendant of the... more

I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a change from staying in the cities. It is near a village and a short car ride to Jaipur. The owners are lovely and they and all of the staff are very welcoming. My husband and I stayed there at the end of March and as it was the... more

I had heard so much about Savista but it exceeded every expectation. A true retreat in a wonderful place. We enjoyed delightful service and surroundings, sunrises, sunsets and the food was far too delicious! I will return to enjoy superlative hospitality and tranquility.

He... more

After all the chaos of India, this was heaven! I had been in India 3 weeks, and when I arrived at Savista it was wonderful to be able to hear myself think again! The place is so tranquil, the people are so warm and friendly it really is a class apart from everything else I experienced on my travels in... more

Facilities were extensive and the rooms cool and well furnished But what made Savista Retreat so special was the warm wecome we got from both the patron and all the staff.... more

At first, my boyfriend and I were a little aprehensive about booking this place because there were not any reviews online(it's a new establishment) but their website looked very promising. We took a chance and we're both very glad that we did! The owners are fantastic, very acommodating and keen to offer any help/advice about the local area. The rooms... more
