This 15th Century Haveli (Hava+Veli – meaning a building having great ventilation) used to be the house of my forefathers one of whom was the teacher to the Maharaja’s Family and the city. The interiors of this building are untouched and are a glimpse into the history of the place. I have tried my best to keep this place intact with its historical essence yet provide modern amenities.

Here, you’ll be wedged in time and have the most memorable and historical experience of your life.

The space
The Place:
This 15th century house where you will be living during your stay was built by my forefathers and I’m the 18th Generation of their family residing in this property. My Great-Great-Grandfather rented this place out to the Government to run a school in this place and before that it used be a community hall witnessing a lot of marriages of the local people. The rooftop will give you a mesmerizing view of the magnificent Jain Temples located inside the Fort and also Breath-Taking views of the Sunrise, Sunset & the City in all its essence. You can Sit, Relax & Soak in the environment while watching the city from a different perspective all together.

The Room:
The room being shown here is one of our special rooms and is called the “Maharaja Room”. It is called 'Maharaja Room' because it used to be the room of the Head person of the Family. The bed here is a King-size bed and there is a spring-comfort mattress (8 inches thick!) which is great for a rejuvenating sleep. Also, keep in mind that this room is on the 1st floor and it is accessible through a staircase. The room is also a painter’s paradise with numerous murals and paintings done on the wall in the 15th century which are still undisturbed. There are 3 windows which are facing towards the street giving you a great view of the Jain Temple which is 20 steps away from my place. The bathroom has 24 hours Hot & Cold water along with a shower. A stay here will not only rejuvenate you but also enthrall you with the sheer beauty of the city.

The area:
My place is situated inside the only living Fort of India. A walk of 150 meters from the main square of the Fort reaches you to my place. Since my place is located inside the lanes of the Fort, you’ll not be able to bring your own vehicle and would have to walk the small distance (Don’t worry, we can send runners for you!). The Jain temples are just 20 steps away from my place and you can witness amazing views of the same from my building.You can take in the ancient history just by walking through the small lanes of the Fort and witness how people are living in it from ages till now with a touch of modernity.

Amenities:
-The bathroom is having access to 24 hours Hot & Cold water along with all the other modern amenities.
-There is high speed internet & WiFi which you can access from the room.
-Meals can be served in your room on request.
-The comfortable spring mattress is great for a rejuvenating sleep.

Unique Speciality:
