Chateau Garli

I spent one night at this hotel and have to admit that I didn't quite get it. It is a little weird. Old dark wooden furniture in the rooms and panels of coloured glass. There was even a swimming pool which seemed out of place, sadly the weather was not warm enough to use it. Here, the location is in the countryside and the birdsong is loud. We saw very few people whilst we were here, just our group of 5 were offered dinner around the pool. Very quiet. In the morning we were allowed into the building for breakfast which was very much worth seeing. The inside was beautifully decoarated in a traditional style. Our Guide took us on a walk away from the town and down a country road to see a school and two more Haveli. We then took ourselves off to look around Garli which was full of little shops and interesting old buildings. I bought a scarf from a tiny little shop and was happy to pay the asking price of 500 rupees. The lady in the hotel said I should have been able to get if for 300 rupees! And pulled a face. So beware, although it seems like an out of touch corner of the world they must get their far share of tourists.

The vibe of the old building in hotel takes you 100yrs back. Staff was courteous and food was great. Would highly recommend

The property is an old world charm. Very tastefully decorated. The staff, the food n ambience. Everything was par excellent
