Fort Barli

What a lovely place to stay. The staff are first class, the building is amazing, great food and wonderful views. We enjoyed a bullock cart ride around the village and loved the warm welcome we received from the locals. The owners seem genuinely pleased to show off there hotel and discuss its history. We would love to stay longer than our two nights.

Wonderful service, great food and stunning surroundings at the heart of a small village in rural Rajasthan. We had a great, relaxing couple of days here as part of our holiday. Recommend taking the opportunity to explore the village, either on foot or a bullock cart!

Absolutely lovely place . Wonderful service, fantastically clean and welcoming. The food is delicious. Rooms are enormous, beautiful and luxurious. The pool was a lovely treat too. We had a most relaxing couple of nights within our Golden Triangle tour and appreciated the quietness and glimpse of rural life. We received a warm welcome from the staff and also the villagers.

This unique 16th-century heritage Fort was set in a peaceful village in the middle of rural Rajasthan When we arrived some of the other guests said it was a chilled relaxing place and it truly was! The Rathod family, who can trace their heritage here back 16 generations, were very hospitable from Satkriti on check-in through to the 72 year old owner who pottered around and was very engaging with everyone Many of the the staff had been with the family a number of years and back many generations too and they were all very friendly and greeted you with a charming smile Luckily for us we stayed in the Maharajah Room which was spectacular but the other bedrooms, small courtyards and main courtyard areas including chill-out space with rocking seat are gorgeous. The Bullock cart ride through the village with Chunilal was lovely and it was fascinating to see the engaging villagers and meet some of the children. He also gave a great tour around the Fort the following day detailing its history If time we’d recommend some time by the pool and the full body massage The sunrise rooftop yoga was special and we had a wonderful teacher The sunsets were spectacular and it was lovely to look at the stars with such a dark sky Breakfast was lovely with hot and cold options and the dinner was buffet style but delicious nonetheless All the staff were lovely but special thanks go to Chunilal, Kesar, Rahul and Deval
