Our 4 night stay at this piece of paradise was wonderful. Great polite staff. Very thoughtful owner, and food to die for. With a huge breakfast a lunch fit for… read more kings and a dinner for the gourmet kings

  Il Pallazo is highly recommended if you are looking for a relaxing holiday accompanied by some mouth watering authentic parsi cuisine. All the meals are top notch.

  Il Palazzo Hotel in Panchgani (since 1927), owned by the wonderful Farham Irani is another beautiful property for those seeking break from Mumbai/Pune grind. Amazing food, forever pleasant weather, chirpy… read more birds and great conversations are the highlights. Gardens are well manicured with red and pink hydrangeas in full bloom. 3 cats parade around happily while 3 energetic dogs are kept in the private section of the property. A family of langoor tried to encroach today but were scared away thanks to the toy air guns. Small but a very clean swimming pool along with a small gym to burn the extra calories. Oh those calories you will gain and so many of them. Authentic Bawa food when hosted by a generous Bawa host equates to an extra tyre or two. Patra ni macchi, Dhansak, fried fish, mutton stew, Berry pulao, fish croquet.. burp. Caramel custard, Chicken tikka, naan, strawberry cream, Lagan nu custard. BUUUURRRRPPP.. lots more that I can’t remember. I am sorry I really can’t recommend one or two dishes you’ve got to eat all. ALL!

The property has 9 rooms and package includes three (wholesome is an understatement) meals, and evening tea. The staff are extremely helpful and forever active. Farham Irani a warm and generous host runs the place. The man has very clear priorities. He won’t compromise the quality for quick bucks. We saw him blatantly refuse lunch to a group of 5 adults and 2 dogs because they called in too late .. “no, too late for today. You need to book atleast a day in advance. And will your dogs eat Parsi food, we have Berry Pulao today?” Bawa humour!?!

Go to this place people. And you’d want to come back again.

  Visited this well maintained hotel recently at the recommendation of a colleague and must say it was a fabulous stay.

Its a heritage boutique hotel, very well maintained under… read more the personal supervision of the owner Mr Furham Irani who is wonderful host and makes every effort to make the guests comfortable during their stay

The Food is just amazing… every meal has variety of Mutton , Chicken and Seafood items . Pls be prepared to add a few kilos as the generous Host and efficient staff will pamper you with their delicious offerings.

The rooms are spacious and the property is well maintained and has other utilities like swimming pool, Gymnasium, Club room with indoor games , badminton court and even bicycles for every age.

Overall a fabulous package… thanks to Mr Furham and his courteous staff for making this a memorable trip.

God bless you all!
