Art Village Karjat

We had gone for a day visit to Art village. The experience was really disappointing. Very poor hospitality and nothing which makes u feel you are in a art Village . Check-in time was @ 12:00 pm with a welcome drink. We reached at 11:40 with my two kids. But they completely forgot to offer us anything .. Then they took us for the Art village tour-It was not impressive .They had two animals Goat and horse .My 5 year old wanted to feed the goat ( grass) but the person attending us didn't allow that .From 12:15 - 1:30 p.m there nothing to do at the property .The staff was not interested in envolving the kids in any activities . After a very basic lunch which was not served on time ( around 1:30pm ) ..we started with the pottery at 2:30 .The staff on the wheel took the pottery for 30-35 mins .She was not showing any interest to teach us . Immediately after that we did papermaking .it was an icing on the cake . Extermely disappointed .The paper making was over in 15 min ..Evening snack and tea which was a part of the itinerary was even not offered . I would recommend not to visit the place for a day picnic .You will be wasting your time ,money and day .

This One Star is only and only given for the unprofessional behaviour and lack of communication between Siddhesh (who manages the property)and Avanti (who takes care of the booking) After confirming on my bookings for a particular date with siddhesh and waiting for them to share the payment link, i suddenly get a message from Avanti saying the property is booked at the end moment on those dates. I mentioned I am traveling with family and have senior citizens and cousins who have taken an off from their workplace since it's a weekday. They did not care about the situation and just casually said sorry and we can't help you !! Seriously, what hospitality !!

Serene place to relax and recharge outside of Mumbai. I enjoyed the homemade meals, and the peaceful surroundings. You can stroll through the gardens, sit quietly in a meditation chamber, or take an art class. Everyone working there was helpful and pleasant. I came here to read and write alone for a weekend. This was the perfect getaway.
