Frequently asked questions
What is a heritage homestay?
A heritage homestay is overnight accommodation in a historically significant family property — in Maharashtra typically a wada (courtyard mansion) — restored for guests while preserving its architecture, antiques and family hosting style.
What is a wada?
A wada is a traditional Marathi mansion built around one or more courtyards, with carved wooden pillars, thick stone walls and sloping tile roofs. Kolhapur, Nashik and the Deccan towns have the best surviving wadas now open as heritage stays.
