Here Is What Our Guests Say....

shraddha morje a year ago on Google 5/5 One of the best resort I have visited till now. The manager were really helpful and friendly. Great staff who knew how to serve the customer. The room was well equipped and the service was excellent. From the balcony, we could view the lake and feel the cool breeze. The location of our room was absolutely perfect.I would like to say original flavours of malvani food service is five star. Note, this is not a 4/5-star hotel or so, but the atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to me. All respect for the general manager who does a great job here; a true sample of excellent hospitality! Trip typeFamily Rooms5.0Location5.0Service5.0

Siddhi Patkar 2 years ago on Google 5/5 Sonavilla is a small paradise for all the travel lovers in our very own Kudal, konkan! Being my Village, it gives me immense pleasure when I see this place, as it has its own Konkan essence in it, with the beautiful and mesmerizing surroundings, lip smacking Malvani food and that eye pleasing lake side view of this villa will leave you with wonderful memories to cherish forever! Best thing is their location is at the center of all nearby famous places, very close to Kudal station ,Mumbai-Goa Highway & Kudal City! Suitable for Gatherings, Picnics & Outstation Stay, Even if you're looking for a dream place for your pre wedding photo or video shoots, look no further! They really did make our Small Get-Together Grand and Memorable with their touch of Hard Work, Courteous Approach & Friendliness. My father's School Batchmates (Kudal High School's S.S.C batch 1975) formed a group named "Bheti Lagi Jiva" in the year 2012, we were glad to organize our 3rd get together, 2nd time in "Sona Villa". The lovely moments spent here in 3 days, They are true to their name its a “Sona” Villa 🙂 They have plenty of space for parking and outdoor activities, they are also planning to launch some adventure sports in the near future! Overall the hospitality and the special welcome by the Villa Owner Dr.Rane was really heart warming! You could literally talk to him for hours and he will have some amazing stories to share with you! Must visit place for all the konkan lovers!!!
