Find Peace in the Hills
Stone Villa
Serene Cottage Stays in the Hills of Almora
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 charming cottages and the main villa:
Wisteria Cottage is a cozy hideaway wrapped in wisteria vines—perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking peace and quiet.
Cedar View Cottage is a warm and welcoming retreat, fringed by majestic deodars and cherry trees. Also ideal for couples or solo travelers.
Stone Villa is the largest of the three, designed for families and larger groups. Fully self-sufficient, it can comfortably accommodate up to nine guests.
