SaffronStays AnjanAiry Villa (Anjaneri) (Nashik)

SaffronStays AnjanAiry is a four-bedroom luxury villa nestled at the foot of Anjaneri Mountain in Trimbakeshwar, Nashik , and it is genuinely pet-friendly, with a formal pet contract, a maximum of two pets per booking, and staff trained to be comfortable around animals. The villa accommodates 8 to 12 guests, sleeps everyone under one roof as an entire-home rental, and is listed as pet-friendly directly on the SaffronStays platform. Pricing starts from ₹32,500 per night, with meals available at additional charges.

The Setting

AnjanAiry sits in Spring Hills, Anjaneri , a village in the Trimbakeshwar taluka of Nashik district, Maharashtra. The villa is designed around a central stone wall built from material sourced directly from the land, with reclaimed wood from an old sanitarium used throughout the interiors. Expansive glass windows bring the surrounding hills indoors, and waking up to fog rolling over Anjaneri Mountain is reportedly a regular morning at this property. The Anjaneri Waterfall is just 2 km away , a 10-minute walk , and the Anjaneri Trek trailhead is 5 minutes by car. Trimbakeshwar Temple is a 10-minute drive, and Sula Vineyards is 30 minutes away. For a longer excursion, Vaitarna Dam is about 40 minutes from the villa.

The villa is designed as an entire-home rental , you book all four bedrooms, not individual rooms. Each bedroom is on the ground floor with its own balcony, ensuite bathroom, and views of the surrounding hills and gardens. The living room, dining area, and outdoor terrace are all communal, making this a property best suited to groups of friends or multi-family trips rather than couples looking for a small getaway. With 8–12 guests as the target occupancy, it works particularly well for weekend getaways with dogs when you have a full group coming along.

What Stands Out for Pet Parents

The infinity pool that appears to merge with the mountain horizon is the centrepiece of the property , but note that the pet contract specifically states "not all properties allow pets in pool , please check in advance." Pool access for pets at AnjanAiry should be confirmed directly with SaffronStays before you arrive. The outdoor grounds include open lawns where your dog can run, and the open-air dining terrace means meals under the stars with your pets nearby. There is an outdoor projector screen area for evening movies, and the property offers a collection of acoustic instruments , guitar, ukulele, cajon, handpan, and others , for guests who want a jamming session after dinner.

The staff at AnjanAiry are noted for being pet-aware. The pet contract makes clear that while staff are trained to be around animals, some individuals may request that your dog be leashed in certain areas or during certain periods of the day , which is a reasonable ask in a shared staff-and-guest environment. Freshly cooked pet meals can be arranged through the kitchen; the pet contract advises giving clear instructions about dietary requirements, salt levels, spices, and portion sizes well in advance. This is a genuinely useful amenity for longer stays where you do not want to carry bulk quantities of your pet's regular food.

The villa scores 4.9 out of 5 based on 89 reviews on SaffronStays, with staff rated at 4.9, cleanliness at 4.9, and safety at 4.9. Reviewer Deepak (October 2025, 3 nights, 10 guests) called the food "amazing, delicious and homely" and described the caretakers as "sweet and very hospitable." The property has been reviewed across themes of Luxury, Views, Infinity Pool, Staff Hospitality, and Gourmet Food , all tags that appeared organically from guest feedback.

Pet Policy in Practice

SaffronStays operates a standardised pet contract across its pet-friendly properties. At AnjanAiry, guests sign a self-declaration confirming that their pets are vaccinated and free of communicable illness, are not left unattended on the property, and are kept leashed if staff request it. Pets must be flea-free. You carry full liability for any damage or injury caused by your pet, and additional cleaning charges may apply if furniture, carpets, or pool areas require extra attention after your stay. On a second reported disturbance from your pet, the management reserves the right to ask that the pet be restricted to a specific area of the property or removed. These are standard clauses , not red flags , but worth reading in full before you arrive, especially if you have a reactive or high-energy dog.

The property asks that pets be washed and cleaned before being brought inside the villa after outdoor time , a sensible rule given the terrain around Anjaneri, which involves forest, waterfall paths, and muddy trek approaches during and after the monsoon. Carry your own pet medicines and toiletries; the property does not stock these. Pet charges may apply , the exact amount was not confirmed at the time of this listing and should be verified directly with SaffronStays at the time of booking.
