A private pool villa in the car-free hill station of Matheran, about 134 km from Pune.
Matheran is unusual among Indian hill stations: motor vehicles are not allowed inside, so the pace is set by footpaths, horse trails and the famous narrow-gauge toy train. The Crimson Nest offers a private villa in this quiet setting, with its own pool for lazy afternoons. The town is wrapped in dense forest and dotted with viewpoints that look over the plains and neighbouring peaks, and after the rains the red earth paths contrast sharply with deep green foliage. Staying in a villa rather than a hotel gives you room to unwind on your own terms, which suits couples and small groups alike. Matheran is about 134 km from Pune by road to the base, and the final stretch is done on foot, by horse or by train, which is part of the charm.
