Le Arc - Villa in Lonavala

Setting the standards high, Le Arc combines serenity, wit and architectural elegance in a way that it’s the perfect, idyllic choice for anyone looking for a class-apart experience. With sweeping views of the hill-station of Lonavala, you find yourself in the home, gazing out at the horizon and letting your thoughts float away to the rhythm of the breeze flowing through the home. A witty piece of art - The Argument Corner is decisively set right by the entrance as you might have a difficult time choosing amongst the array of leisurely amenities starting right from the doorstep. Whether to watch your cinematic favourites as you lay on the cosy sofas, relish a delectable meal from the Anglo Indian Cafe & Bistro at the opulent 8-seater dining area or dive into the refreshing plunge pool that’s right by the living room - it’s going to be a tough choice, indeed! Each of the bedrooms either have direct access to the lawn or open up to a balcony with views and breeze that are no less than a whisper of solitude. After dark, when the sparkling moonlit sky lights upon the horizon, take the opportunity and let us set you an al fresco meal on the rooftop terrace.

If you’re a bigger group, there’s another majestic villa - Udaan, just a step away which can be booked along with Le Arc to accommodate larger groups.

We care for your absolute comfort! To that effect, we provide:
- Generator, AC, Wi-Fi
- Wardrobe, hangers
- Iron, torch, washing machine 
- Geysers, towels, toiletries
- Medical kit, mosquito repellent
- Indoor games, library
- Secured parking space

This is neither a wheelchair-friendly property nor a pet-friendly property.

The Space:

No matter where you look, in each nook, corner, and artefact at this home; you are sure to find an arch, a curve somewhere which is the most engrossing part of this stay. As you enter this abode, you will come across this tastefully designed living area surrounded by glass slides on all sides. 

The living room overlooks the soothing facade, with muted tones and greenery and is decked with sofas that can seat up to 10 people, AC, a smart TV and Wi-Fi access. The lawn alongside offers an al-fresco dining experience as well. With seating for 5 to 6 people, a scrumptious breakfast by the pool is recommended.

The splash pool is 10x8 ft. with a 4 ft. depth, perfect to splash away and start your holiday in the most surreal way.

On the first floor is the entertainment room, equipped with an AC, sofa-cum bed and a TV for you to relax, unwind and enjoy the view this room offers.

There’s a balcony with chairs set up so you can enjoy your evening coffee here. And for a closer, more panoramic view of the Lonavala hills, head up to the terrace and let the fresh, wafting breeze flow through your hair. 

With a rooftop dining set-up, you can enjoy some mimosas and desserts as you enjoy a relaxing time under the evening sunset.

The Rooms:
The same sense of design extends to the bedrooms of this home. The arches, the curves - right from the headboards to the hangers, every element of Le Arc is an experience in itself. 

There are a total of 4 bedrooms in this home - 1 on the ground floor and 3 on the first floor. Each of these rooms are equipped with plush amenities like a comfortable double bed, AC, a 55-inch smart TV, separate dressing areas, and Wi-Fi access. Extra mattresses can be provided. The bedroom on the ground floor offers direct access to the lawn whereas 2 of the bedrooms on the first floor offer L-shaped balconies with seating to relax and unwind by the views. The fourth bedroom offers airy windows and a compact balcony as well, which allows fresh sunlight and breeze to flow through all day.

As you tour the hour and walk through the rooms, you will know that this is a thoughtfully curated house perfect for everybody. Sit back, relax and sip on your favourite beverages while you look at the serene view beyond.

SCRIPT YOUR STAY - WHAT A DAY HERE WOULD LOOK LIKE
Nestled in a calm natural setting, no matter which part of the house you decide to lounge in, it will always seem like pacifying in the lap of quietude. The living and dining area is just as striking - thanks to the large windows, the flurry of house plants, and handsome marble surfaces. 

As well as letting in copious amounts of natural light, the glass slides lead out to a charming garden space with some seating for warm evenings. As evening falls, you can head to this garden space and have a scrumptious meal from the epic Anglo Indian Cafe & Bistro. A balmy evening by the pool with a chilled glass of wine paired with some mouth-watering Lime Chilli Prawns from the cafe would be a dream. If you’re a sky person, we can help you move this picnic up on the rooftop. Dine under the sunset hues while watching a panoramic view of Lonavala. After all, you need a magical spot to devour the irresistible culinary delights offered at this property.

If you wish to change the scenery a little bit, you don't even have to go far to find things to do in the neighbourhood. Just a short drive away, there's a peaceful spot you can enjoy irresistible bhuttas with a view of the Pawna Lake or head to Mapro Garden and let them spoil you with their unending spread of jams, crushes, squashes, ice creams and grilled sandwiches.

When you head back, end the night with some indoor games and fun times in the lounge area before you snuggle in the comfortable bedrooms. Wake up to the tranquil sunrise & the echoed music of the songbirds that surround you at Le Arc.
