"A 225-year-old painted haveli in old Jaipur"
Samode Haveli has been the Jaipur home of the Samode family for around 225 years, tucked down a lane in the old walled city. Behind its gates: courtyards hung with bougainvillea, corridors and rooms covered in hand-painted murals, terraces over the rooftops of the old town, and a central courtyard where the tables are set around a lotus fountain and lit by candles at dusk. Grand in the intimate, lived-in way only a real family home can be — not a hotel dressed as a palace, but the house itself.
Some facilities and experiences may be chargeable.
By enquiry A classified heritage hotel at Rohet near Jodhpur, held by the same family since 1622 and receiving guests since 1990. Frescoed rooms, a courtyard pool, a family kitchen with its own cookbook, and a Marwari stable the family calls among the country's finest.
By enquiry A century-old Shekhawati haveli in Churu, restored into a heritage hotel. Aquamarine stucco, carved balconies and muralled rooms, with the painted town and the desert on the doorstep.
By enquiry A Portuguese house of around 1919 at Siridao bridge in Goa Velha, lovingly restored from 2014 by local artisans and reborn as a six-room boutique hotel. Expect a courtyard pool between red arcaded wings, a waterfront cafe with a pastry chef they say is Le Cordon Bleu certified, five resident dogs and the sort of quiet that North Goa's beach belt forgot.
