Hotel Mount View Heritage

Mount View continues to offer visitors a serene stay in a colonial bungalow with a splendid view and all the charm of years gone by. We have been visiting Mount View over the years, and it continues to be a family friendly bed-n-breakfast combining the amenities of a hotel room with the warmth of a homestay. The location is walking distance from all of Panchgani's sites and the main market, while being enveloped in silence amidst natural settings. The moment you enter the gates of the property, you are transported away from the hustle-bustle of modern life and into a serene and classy cocoon. The staff are friendly, eager to please and trained to Parsi standards of hospitality. The food is excellent- rich Parsi cuisine made home-style. Very highly recommended for families and those seeking quiet comfort. Not recommended for those who prefer luxury stays with all the associated facilities, modern design or those who need a huge and diverse food menu.

Mount View is not a hotel in the traditional sense. It is an old Parsi home which has been redesigned into multiple comfortable rooms, with attached spacious, clean and hygienic washrooms. The property itself is located a km before the main Panchgani market area, and allows you a quiet escape. Mount View is nestled in a green estate overlooking a valley with the Dhom Dham lake adding a jewel to the scenery. Here, one wakes up to greenery and the birdsongs, with plenty of variety of feathered friends for avian enthusiasts. The staff, led by Parmar, Alok and Rama, are extremely helpful, hospitable and welcoming. Despite me being a solo traveller, they never missed a beat to help me and tend to my requests. Finally, and not the least, the food. Mount View offered me complimentary breakfast, ***** with the option of dinner and lunch for an extra charge. I took only dinner. The food was authentic and wholesome Parsi food, with delicious chicken salli, cutlets, lentils and chapatis, pastas, breads and desserts. Breakfast also gave me eggs and kheema and some delicious homemade jam made from fruits sourced from local orchards. The spread was totally worth the money, and added an extra feather Mount View’s hat. Definitely recommend.

*Food so good, even our diet surrendered without a fight!* *Mount View Hotel deserves a standing ovation... but we are too full to stand!* *Every bite was a love letter written to our taste buds.* *The chef doesn't cook, he performs edible magic tricks!* *If happiness had a recipe, it was served on our plate today.* *(To be taken in a lighter vein)* *The food was so excellent, we almost asked the owner for adoption papers so we could officially join the restaurant family!* *Thanks.*
