La Villa Bethany Reviews

Description

Nestled in an acre of oak, pine and deodar trees, La Villa Bethany is an award winning boutique homestay. This old English Cottage has been restored to its former glory by hospitality professionals - Sunita & Amarjeet Kudle who have a combined experience of over 30 years working with leading 5 Star Deluxe hotels in India.

Landour as a destination has been untouched by rampant commercialization and has retained its old world charm. Landour takes you back in time to enjoy the pleasures of country life. Located at 7600 feet, you get spectacular views of the Upper Himalayas and the Doon Valley. There is a constant play between the elements and the vistas keep changing to enchant the beholder.

La Villa Bethany is surrounded by history. Whether it is the St. Paul's Church where Jim Corbett's parents were married or the 100 year old Landour Language School or the Woodstock School or the old pre-colonial era cemeteries or the Sisters' Bazaar, there is more than enough for one to enjoy. Besides these, one could also take delight in sitting at the legendary Char Dukan and enjoy endless cups of tea with a good book to give you company.

Just as Landour is steeped in history, so does La Villa Bethany take you back in time to enjoy simple life. Each of its tastefully done up rooms is a tribute to the founders of Landour. Capt. Young's Dining Hall and Mackinnon's study recreate the magic of the Colonial Era. The idea of La Villa Bethany was born out of a sense of conserving this heritage and passing it on to future generations. While restoring this cottage, most material used has been reclaimed or recycled. Utmost care has also been taken to retain its original character – of being a warm and peaceful abode.

The sense of responsibility has also ensured that only local youth are employed, who are not only steeped in the local culture but also offer the best practices of sustainable and responsible tourism. LVB uses solar energy for water heating, cooking and in due course wants to harvest this energy for lighting as well. Rainwater harvesting has been extensively incorporated. The items of furnishings and guest supplies are procured from NGOs working with underprivileged women.
