Homestays in Maharashtra
Looking for homestays in Maharashtra? Homestays are hosted properties — a room or floor in a home where the host lives nearby — which usually means home-cooked food and local advice, at a lower price than a whole villa.
Close enough to Mumbai and Pune for a weekend, which is why private pools and large group villas are common here.
Popular areas include Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, Alibaug, Panchgani, Igatpuri. The best time to visit is October to February, though the monsoon months are the greenest.
Frequently asked questions
