SaffronStays Mango Lakeview Villa - 3BR pool villa amid mango farms with Gangapur Dam views, deck & games♡

Clean place, great food, excellent staff, but poor location, overpriced, no privacy, no amenities

3.0

* The food was excellent — every meal was delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. * Suresh and his team were wonderful — polite, efficient, and genuinely kind and helpful. * The view of the dam and surrounding fields is lovely, and the villa itself was neat and clean.

− * The property is overpriced for what it offers. * The location is deep inside, around a 15-minute drive from the main road, accessible only via a narrow, kaccha road through fields. The road has no streetlights and is unsafe to drive at night — if another vehicle comes from the opposite direction, one has to reverse quite a distance as there’s no space to pass. * No signboards, and Google Maps leads you to a wrong turn, making it difficult to locate. * The food prices are exorbitant (₹650 per head for lunch/dinner, ₹300 for breakfast, and ₹200 for high tea). * The kitchen is right at the entrance, and since all meals are cooked there, the staff is present most of the day, which means little privacy for guests. * Wi-Fi wasn’t working during our stay. * There were lots of insects in the evening, so we couldn’t switch on the lights while having dinner at the dining table, and there were insects on the pool table as well. * The AC remote wasn’t working, and the crockery wasn’t very clean. * There was a lack of basic toiletries, which you would expect at this price point. * The villa has very limited amenities — apart from a small swimming pool, there’s nothing much to do (no board games or indoor entertainment). * The bathrooms and overall fittings are quite basic, with ordinary flooring and fixtures that don’t match the standard or finish expected from a premium villa. * The menu is the standard Saffron Stays fare, and it’s disappointing that no local food options are offered.

Can't Recommend this Property coz of the Manager Mr Akash

1.0

The location of this place is deep into a village a kind of a small farm house over looking the godavari lake that's it

− They don't know nothing about hospitality the manager Mr Akash of saffron stays operating on phone from nashik was very rude uncooperative and his 2 person at the house were very very rude and even lying , we had to fight for even a basic commodity in hospitality like TEA they didn't even had a bisleri water for the inmates like us .the caretaker said whatever is the problem is coz of the management we do what the ask us to do. A Total Disaster of a place in terms of 'Attithi Devo bhava'.

Property was clean, caretaker was good.

− Location of the property is a bit secluded, Hence doesn’t fill value for money. Also the kitchen is not available unless you preorder for food, food options offered is limited and the rates are on a higher side.

A Slice of Paradise From the moment we arrived at the Mango Lakeview Villa, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and luxury. The cleanliness of the room was impeccable, with every corner sparkling and every comfort considered. Waking up to the serene view of lush mango trees was a daily delight. The swimming pool was a refreshing oasis, perfectly maintained and inviting. It became our favorite spot to unwind. What truly set our experience apart was the excellent staff service. Each member of the team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. Their attention to detail, from the neatly folded towels to the prompt assistance whenever we needed, was truly commendable. And let’s not forget the delicious in-house food! Every meal made our dining experience a memorable one. In conclusion, our stay at the Mango Lakeview Villa was an absolute pleasure. It’s a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of nature, comfort, and hospitality. We left with our hearts full and our spirits rejuvenated, already dreaming of our next visit.
