• What the hotel offers
  The Savista haveli is a fully restored ancestral home of the present owners. It was originally constructed in 1901 as a country mansion by the then Kacchawa chieftain of the group of villages surrounding Savista. The Savista complex has two wings - the haveli and the eastern court - set in 12 acres of land. The haveli rises in two levels around a central pool-court, overlooked by balconies, decks and a rooftop terrace that girdles the entire complex. The 20-metre swimming pool is of environmentally conscious design, partially refilled each day with fresh, cool water that is continuously recycled to irrigate the surrounding gardens and farmland.It houses 16 bedroom suites and is surrounded by gardens and a dense cover of ashoka, sheesham, karanji, khejri, gulmohur, and neem trees and shrubs of jasmine and hibiscus. The lobby, reception lounge, library, poolside lounge-cum-film viewing room, coffee bar and dining room are at the ground level, overlooking the pool-court on one side, and leading out to the tennis court and gardens on the other. The eastern court houses the gym, massage rooms, steam-sauna-jacuzzi facilities, bar lounge, main dining room, kitchen complex, and the gazebos and tents which serve as al fresco dining spaces. An open rooftop terrace runs across the entire length, offering a space for multiple activities. The whole is set within extensive gardens and surrounded by a grove of khejri, oleander, and ashoka trees.
• Location
  The lush green Savista estate is only 22 km from Jaipur’s city center and within an hour’s drive from the city’s monuments, including Amber Fort. Daily transportation services offered to and from the airport, city center and sights make it an ideal base for sightseeing in and around Jaipur at no extra cost for all guests.
