ITvara Cottage

Wanted to stay in a place where our family (of six) could have some space, comfort, facilities of a home and our expectation was not just met but was exceeded. The four bed room, two floor villa situated inside a residential apartment complex has all the facilities a family would possibly need. While most home stays have a barely functional kitchen- to our pleasant surprise here we found crockery, bowl, plates, utensils, refrigerator, microwave oven, and a stove. Gopal ji the caretaker was kind, friendly and the breakfast he made for us for the two days we stayed was excellent. Another highlight was the calm, serene environment and coexistence with nature. Spotting an owlet during the night and greeted by chirping sparrows and numerous winged visitors next morning was an absolute delight. Although were a few home maintenance issues noticed which caused some inconvenience- deserves five stars and I will highly recommend the place for families visiting Rishikesh.

Had fantastic experience. clean, very well maintained. Good care taker and staff. We were there for 7 days and really enjoyed our stay with iTvara. Both pallavi and manisha are good , very responsive host and very welcoming. A great pet friendly stay. Very recommended.

Ambience was beautiful and welcoming. Rich interiors and Great Hospitality in this well equipped villa. Comfortable and nice stay. Highly recommended this place to anyone who is looking for luxurious home stay. Would love to visit again.

The main concerns during our stay were as follows: Cleanliness: The room was not properly cleaned, and there was noticeable seepage, which created an unpleasant environment. Condition of Furniture: The furniture in the room needs to be required improvement, and the bed appeared unfinished and in need of proper maintenance. Lack of Basic Amenities: Requests for a chair, a small table, and even a bottle of mineral water were denied by the caretaker. No Provision of Essential Items: When the weather turned cold due to rain, I requested a blanket but was informed that no blanket was available. Considering the tariff and the standard of service provided, I find this experience unacceptable. I expected better quality and service based on the pricing of Rs 2800 and location of the homestay. One can easily find good place in the same society with better tariff.

We highly recommended iTvara stay. Luxury, peace , welcoming. Home cooked meals were delicious. Clean and cozy place. As an elderly couple, we were truly touched by the warmth and care provide by the host and care taker. Perfect place. Recommended

The best cottage I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Gorgeous building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High quality rooms (there was even a tv by the shower), and high quality service. Also, you'll get the Ganges view 🪟 from the balcony or terrace.
