Savista Retreat was my home away from home for about two weeks this past January. I honestly can’t say enough about the place. The haveli is a beautifully kept piece of family history, and the rooms within are spacious, comfortable, clean, and meticulously decorated with impressive antique finds and locally fabricated furnishings. The whole place is gorgeous at night, and... More

Planning to take four days off after a Mumbai business trip to visit Rajasthan, I came across Savista when I googled "boutique hotel Jaipur" and having read the reviews on this site immediately decided to base myself there. I could not have made a better choice, since I discovered not only the local village but many of the splendors of... More

We were at Savista with Zandy R in January and couldn't agree more. Savista is authentic India - an ancestral home lovingly restored by it's owners with a fresh water pool gracing the center courtyard of a stunningly beautiful white stone building featuring wrap around terraces and balconies. Team Savista is there to accommodate all your needs with good humor... More

Tripadvisor Dear Fellow Traveller How do you find a place that gives you rest, conviviality, food for thought- and more than that- food for body and nourishment of the being.

We stayed at Savista end of October 2011 and can honestly say it was a most wonderful experience. We were made so welcome by our hosts. To say they put themselves out for us is an understatement, nothing was too much trouble, information and advice freely given and the staff were all so attentive. The food was lovely home cooking,...

We spent 3 wonderful days at Savista at the end of a month in Rajasthan. We loved the idea that we could spend time in the frenzied heart of Jaipur and then retreat to this wonderful sanctuary. The warmth and generosity of our hosts, the care and kind attention of the staff and the amazing, delicious food all contributed to... More

An oasis just a few km from Jaipur with the most fantastic hosts, delicious home cooked food worthy of a write up of its own all set within the grounds of this elegant home. We felt priviledged to stay in such well tended and relaxed surrounds, which gives some tranquility to the crazy nature of the city. Two days here... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Savista. Its wonderful ambience and serenity was an excellent contrast to the hustle and bustle of colorful Jaipur. Radhika and Bhanwar were excellent hosts who were very friendly and helpful and we had many discussions ranging from Indian music and food, the history of Savista, recommendations of places to go in Jaipur...

Savista is a peaceful property, with soulful and welcoming staff, hosted by "long-lost friends" Radhika and Bhanwar. Our room was tucked away in a corner of the property, simply but so tastefully furnished in a soothing pastel green. In the morning, our open curtains would reveal a wall of greenery around this corner of the proprty. We felt as though... More
