Jai Villa is a homestay in true sense, it was conceptualized and started in year 2016. The moment when we were having discussion on converting our home into homestay, we were hosting dinner to a friend and discussing how much we love having people at home. The homestay has been home of host family for last 25 years. It is now on offer for guests planning to travel to Udaipur and explore it the way a local from the city would have done. We are also a good place for cultural exchange as guest staying at homestay get to witness culture, tradition of an Indian family. The cuisine that comes out from our kitchen are some exclusive recipes that have been followed for generations and are now prepared for guests. We also teach them to guests who are interested in learning them. The homestay is equipped with all basic facilities like proper lighting, well ventilated, hot water (Geyser and Solar Water heater), AC, Wi-Fi, Mini Bar, Hairdryer, Smart TV etc. It is very well connected with public transport system and only 2.5 KMS away from railway station and Bus Stand. Finding a cab or a tuk-tuk is easy and you can ask anyone in team to get one for you. What makes us a good choice for you is our proximity to tourist destinations like City Palace, Pichola lake, Temples, Boating points, cultural performances, Gardens and the entire Old City. We also have advantage of offering stay in a peaceful place with comfortable car parking. On a leisurely day you can spend time at home enjoying a slow breakfast on terrace while overlooking beautiful hill ranges or you can pickup a book from our library and read it sitting on our beautiful Cast Iron furniture below an almond tree while you have a freshly grinded French press coffee which comes from family kitchen. Jai Villa is pet friendly and we allow you to travel you with your furry friend. Everyone in family loves pets and as now we travel more because of work we follow our passion by hosting people travelling with their pets.
