India1 review1 helpful vote“Luxury combined with home-like food and hospitality”There was nothing that I didn't like.
My friend and I booked for two nights but ended up staying for longer :). The Kafal room was a bit compact yet cozy. We visited the other cottages, Pine and Deodar, they were spacious and have large windows overlooking the stunning mountain scenery. If you ask me I'd highly recommend you take their masterpiece, the Deodar cottage. The bathrooms are all very neatly crafted. Gives a sense of both luxury and a local Uttarakhand-style finish at the same time. The bathroom roofs have large sunlights. Taking a bath in there was quite a unique experience. Their food and their hospitality were first-class. We tried their Kumaoni cuisine –– it was delicious and handcrafted with local flavors. Must try! One small con is the location is remote and hence one must stay for at least 3 nights to do justice to what the place has to offer. The rooms and cottages are about 3-4 minutes downhill walk from the parking. If you have an elderly person with you, they may take a little longer. The staff is always there to help.

India1 review“Blissfull stay in the mountains”There wasn't anything that I didn't like
Simply the best resort I have stayed in, in a very long time. I've stayed at highly rated hotels and BnBs throughout the world, but Amit and his very hospitable team rank first in service. The property itself was unique, built with utmost care, taking inspiration from centuries old local stone-style design. The view of the Himalayan peaks from the Estate was breathtaking. We sat down in the evening at the open patio outside the oak rooms and enjoyed watching the stunning views sipping hot tea with cookies. The staff was ever smiling. The candlelight dinner was elegant! The food was delicious, the rooms were tidy. We also made a trip to Jageshwar temple complex, about 45 min drive from the estate. This 1500 year complex situated amongst a beautiful Deodar forest, is one of the most revered Shiva temples. Even if you are not religious, go there for a sublime experience. A very special lunch during the trip (extra charges applicable) rounded off a perfect day. Highly recommend it and will visit again soon!

India2 reviews“Perfect getaway in Binsar for 3+ nights!”There is simply no room for complaints or any feedback.
We stayed here for one night. They've got the best service and this is no exaggeration. Special kudos to Amit, Bhavana, and their team for hosting us with such a warm, home-like pampering. Their food made with freshly sourced local veggies was top-notch. They kept serving even better meals every time. Since we had booked for one night, we paid a little extra to take us for a picnic lunch (for 2 or more nights, a picnic lunch is complimentary). The setting of the property is stunning. One day does not do justice to the place, so next time we will stay for longer. Overall, the place is a must-visit!

India2 reviews1 helpful vote“Excellent hospitality with stunning views!”There was nothing to dislike the property. Everything was great.
The Estate is located at a pristine location. The views from the property was simply extraordinary. The snow-clad Himalayas can be seen from the Estate. The stone-style aesthetic architecture gives a unique experience. We stayed for one night here and to be honest, the hospitality from Amit and his team was outstanding. Their signature Kumaoni cuisine is a must try. Food was great. Rooms and bathrooms were neatly maintained. Staff was very hospitable and friendly. Amit took us for a hike, reaching the Ghanti temple, a view-point where the Himalayan peaks looks even clearer and beautiful. We had a picnic lunch on the open patio, overlooking the mountain range. There are no words to describe the experience. It was amazing! Overall, Itmenaan Estate is a highly recommended stay IMO. We’d definitely visit again for at least 3 nights stay at Itmenaan Estate.

Superb location and amazing staff extremely attentive and helpful.

India2 reviews“Itmenaan for the soul”Cloudy weather spoilt the mood for the day as the Himalayan range was not visible . everything else is good
The resort was awesome.the staff went out of their way to provide us the best experience we could want for our 2nd anniversary.must visit resort If you want to live in serenity of the mountains with people to take care of your needs.the hike to the resort is negligible as there is under construction road which leads directly to the property.special mentions to Bhawna ,shivraj for their excellent hospitality .will visit again soon
