Tucked away in Bhilar, just minutes from Panchgani’s best-known viewpoints, Kapila Retreats is a pair of private villas built for people who want the hills to themselves. Villa Sunflower and Villa Orchid each have three bedrooms, open lawns and balconies that catch the sunset over the Sahyadris. Take one room, take a whole villa, or take both — six bedrooms and the entire property — when the whole family is coming along. No lobby, no queue, no crowd. Just a quiet hillside, a warm kitchen and space to breathe.
