We had 2 nights here and just wish it had been longer. We were treated royally. The staff couldnât do enough for us. The room was beautiful. A fridge in room would be good but a minor point. We really enjoyed seeing village life and a chance to relax away from the bustle of the cities. All in all a fantastic stay.
A Glimpse into a forgotten world

Talabgaon Castle has been instrumental in showing us a glimpse of life and culture of India that remains invisible in the big cities of the country. The serene life and quiet enthusiasm of people in the village, be it pride in their artistic skills or contributing to reviving a lost language - Sanskrit. Encouraging teaching and learning of Sanskrit was an initiative that was started by the ancestors of the current owners of Talabgaon Castle more than a century ago.
Talabgaon Castle is remarkably a good base to enjoy this rural setting. The accommodation was of exceptional quality. The staff was very thoughtful in ensuring a warm and friendly experience, be it food or activities around the village. The dining experience can be elevated, especially, in the evenings by including the beautiful courtyard in front of the dining room. It would significantly enhance the overall experience and charm of the stay.
Excellent village life family friendly

WOW. What an amazing place. Whilst we did not stay overnight, we spent a day. Our guide, Annpurna , was the most wonderful host, friendly, informative, inventive, colourful - simply the best. We were fortunate to spend time with her in her home in Jaipur and her family home, Talabgaon Castle. We made a new friend! Annpurna made sure we made the most of our day when we had the opportunity to visit her family home and village and meet and spend time with her beautiful family. The staff at Talabgaon Castle will ensure your visit or stay is perfect. The hospitality and friendliness is a treat in itself. We were invited for a complete tour of the resort rooms, hotels and facilities and they are world class. Arriving on the very colourful Camel Cart as we pass through the local village, the people are so friendly and the children just love it when visitors arrive at the Castle. Red Carpet entrance with welcome drinks and flowers. After a tour of the Castle and the grounds we enjoyed a very welcome lunch at the resort ,- the food was amazing and the service was simply the best, and then we were whisked off to be dressed and travel to town. We are now in local colourful attire and are taken to another nearby village - this experience is amazing. As we walked and talked with the local women and children. Enjoying the most amazing colourful markets and the most amazing display of fresh food that you will ever see. A few hours goes very fast and every minute is fabulous. Everyone is so friendly, they are loving the Western Visitors whom they do no see very often. If the world could be this friendly , fresh and colourful we would all be happy every day. A day or a few days spent at the Resort and the local village is time you will never forget. Simply Majestic. Thank you for sharing your day and your family with us. Such wonderful Memories (Oct 2017) Sally and Maggie

We had a great stay at this property. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the castle itself is quite lovely. The food was enjoyable and dinner was served around the pool area. Each table had a bon fire which added to the atmosphere and was very effective in keeping us warm on a cold winters evening. We enjoyed a walk around the local village in the late afternoon. It was very authentic and the local kids were cute. We didn't see the need to go on the camel ride around the area. The service was extremely attentive, bordering on overbearing. That would be my only (minor) criticism. The staff seemed overly desperate for tips and we felt that there was constant pressure on us to put our hand in our pocket. The rates for this hotel were very high at the time we visited (it was peak season) and we tipped generously but still felt that we hadn't given enough. We wonder what the staff are paid. It made us feel a bit edgy during our stay. Overall though I would recommend a night at this place. It was enjoyable stay and the peace and quiet was a welcome relief from the chaos of Jaipur.
