A Heritage Hotel with the valley view in Panchgani, Mahabaleshwar

Mount View Heritage Hotel is located in Panchgani, Maharashtra, India. The resort is set amidst the beautiful Sahyadri mountain range and offers scenic views of the valley ( at a height of 4200 feet).

The well-known twin vacation destinations of Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar in the Satara district are situated on the Sahyadri hills of Maharashtra, two hours’ drive (100km/63 miles) from Pune.

This resort was developed from twin bungalows that were almost a century old. It offers a variety of room types while preserving the original architecture and atmosphere of the classic colonial style. The Parsi family that runs and maintains it adds a wonderful personal touch. There is plenty of parking available all around the resort.

With a veranda in front of each room and a four-chaired wooden classic table, it provides a nice seating area for the customers. There are a couple of swinging chairs for relaxing and reading (there is a small bookshelf for the customers too). The pets are also allowed, and they can provide their food on request.

Although it is close to the main road, there is little to no traffic noise because the property is only a short distance down the hill. You will arrive there via a short driveway from the main gate and will immediately feel the wonderful presence of nature.

Kids and families can get some great exercise by hiking down to their store and workers’ cottages on a short trail.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (veg and/or non veg) are available upon request or with advance notice while making a reservation. The booking can be made through their website, as well as a number of other apps and websites. The room charges are a bit higher than moderate, say around Rs 4000 to Rs 6000 (apprx. $55 to $74), and they change on weekends and during the peak season (normally March to June, but people like me who are living a short drive away do visit frequently :smile: ).

Additionally, it is very close to the main Panchgani chowk, which means that the market, restaurants, bus stop, and taxi stands are all within walking distance.

Overall, Mount View Heritage Hotel is a fantastic choice for those seeking a peaceful vacation in the lovely hill town of Panchgani.

My review of the hotel.

I hope you like it. Do share your experience of the same if you have visited it earlier.

Cheers!

I fully agree with our @Rohan10 … breathtaking views & colonial environment… great feel…

Really amazing photos, when viewed on my 4K monitor…

Of course, you always create a memorable story for us - thank you very much.

Incidentally, there’s a similar Bunglow in Yercaud too - Tipperary Colonial Bungalow. (Shall provide the link later).

I have a doubt, please - 4 to 6 K per room for 2 persons or for per head? 4K for 2 with breakfast, lunch & dinner looks like a decent offer in a premium property … Right? Yes, 6K will be on higher side.

Happy to hear that you all enjoyed…

Great…

Thanks for sharing these beautiful post.

Greetings with regards

Thanks for your support @TravellerG sir!

Yes, the cost mentioned is without any meal, so it’s a bit higher than moderate.

The cost of meal is also higher comparatively. So we chose only room and had all the meals while roaming around. The Panchgani market is very close so you can walk up to there for food. You pay price for the ambience and location here. Most of them book this property for relaxation, calmness and zero disturbance. :smiley:

Thanks again for your appreciation sir!

Cheers!

This was my first experience of staying in a heritage hotel and I simply loved it.

Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani are our favorite vacation spots. We will visit again this April, now it’s a routine for us actually. We enjoy there with family and friends.

Hello dear friend, @AjitThite

You are always most welcome…

Here is some interesting info:

When we planned the Golden Triangle trip (Delhi, Agra & Jaipur - 6 nights & 7 days), along with one of my cousin-sons who had travelled to these destinations in a car recently, the cost for an individual was coming to RS. 34,500 - whereas an agency provided a quote of Rs. 19,500, including breakfast & dinner - the service was excellent. The point is - sometimes the agencies can provide good offers, that too with the food.

The Tipperary Colonial Bungalow, Yercaud - Here.

Thank you for your prompt response

Absolutely @TravellerG sir, I believe that since it is a customer-centric industry, the agencies do pass on nice offers to us.

Wow, what a great setting in the middle of nature; it appears to be a five star property, the Tipperary Colonial Bungalow, Yercaud. I will try if we plan visiting there for surely.

Cheers!
