We stayed in a 17th Century Haveli overlooking the lake. Our bedroom had dreamy window seats

The views over Lake Pichola were spectacular.

The hotel was in fact two haveli joined together. This is the internal view.

Celebrating at the hotel shrine, in its courtyard.

Dusk from our bedroom.

This was the best place we stayed at!

We were in the old Courthouse block. The widest bed we have ever slept in.

Our bedroom suite was very large with an upper as well as lower spaces to explore. Decorated with taste. In the upper area were some very traditional murals.

The view from our balcony. Tea on the lawn anyone?

Peacocks look good, but they can be noisy outside your room

We ate by the pool. During dinner, the Maharajah came to speak to all his guests at each table. He was most charming and very urbane.

Being a Hindu festival, the Maharajah invited us to another courtyard to see the locals dancing.

The Maharani and other royal women lounged on large sofas, while the male members of the Royal Family sat on chairs.

A magical evening. All the local village girls were trying to out-do each other dancing.

The rooms had a style from a bygone era. The food was great - I would well recommend staying here rather than a "normal" hotel. Much more character. When I asked for a lemonade, I was given a tall glass with freshly squeezed lemon juice along with a bottle of soda water. I can't remember when I last got a lemonade like that.

Another old Rajput residence converted into a Heritage hotel. We had a great room with a dreamy four-poster bed.

The hallway outside our bedroom. No I haven't touched up the photo, it had mirrored ceilings and lots of old Rajput memorabilia on the walls.
