Find Peace in the Hills
Stone Villa
Serene Cottage Stays in the Hills of Almora
Stay at Stone Villa, Wisteria Cottage, or Cedar View Cottage-
three peaceful retreats in the Himalayas. Enjoy nature, quiet
mornings, and a slower pace of life.
Welcome to Stone Villa – Your Himalayan Retreat in Almora
Tucked away in the serene foothills of the Himalayas, Stone Villa offers a peaceful escape in the picturesque town of Almora, Uttarakhand. Our lovingly crafted cottages are built by local artisans using stone sourced from nearby quarries. The slate roofs, harking back to traditional construction methods, add authenticity and rustic charm. Each room has Wi-Fi connectivity and is thoughtfully planned with cozy fireplaces and all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay.
Surrounded by native trees and the sweet melody of birds, the cottages open out to our organic vegetable garden, which not only nourishes the senses but also supplies fresh, seasonal ingredients for the meals we serve. Guests are welcome to stroll through the gardens, relax with a book in one of the many quiet sitting nooks, or gather around the firepit under a starlit sky for a memorable evening.
Choose between two cottages and the main villa:
Wisteria Cottage is a cozy hideaway wrapped in wisteria vines, ideal for couples or solo travelers.
Cedar View Cottage is a welcoming cottage fringed by majestic deodars and cherry trees, also ideal for couples or solo travelers.
Stone Villa (coming soon) is the largest of the three cottages on the property. Ideal for families and larger groups, the villa is fully self-sufficient and can comfortably accommodate up to nine people.
Three Cottages, One Peaceful Escape
Wisteria Cottage
456 ft² / 42 m² / Park View / 2 Guests
Wisteria Cottage envelopes you with its warmth and charm. Designed for comfort and
relaxation, it is built from local stone and surrounded by flowering vines. A stay here invites you to slow down and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
Inside, you will find warm wooden floors, a fireplace for cool evenings, and large windows
that open to garden views and the majestic deodars beyond. The space has been designed
for modern comfort and decorated, keeping local aesthetics in mind. It is the kind of space
where mornings begin with a symphony of birdsongs and the evenings are ushered in with
stars above.
Whether you are curled up with a book, sipping coffee or simply relaxing while watching the
clouds move over the hills, Wisteria Cottage will lift your spirits.
