Jaipur Retreat

Samode Haveli, a 200-year old townhouse belonging to the royal family of Samode, lies in the heart of the walled city of Jaipur in the state of Rajasthan, North India.

Unexpected and charming, Samode Haveli is an intimate heritage hotel hidden deep in the folds of the busy streets of old Jaipur. Restored to perfection, the Haveli offers 39 rooms all beautifully decorated in traditional jewel-like hues, with an array of alcoves, pillars and antiques.

The hotel is arranged around a series of courtyards with beautiful walled gardens and there is a Moorish-style swimming pool surrounded by lounges and canopied day beds. Guests can enjoy pan-Indian and international cuisine in the over-the-top dining hall or under the stars in the central courtyard.

With its mix of history, simple style and interesting features, Samode Haveli is the reigning hip heritage hotel in Jaipur.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.
