Amato dagli ospiti

The location is everything: the Ridge at seven in the morning before anyone is up, and back for breakfast.

Rahul and Simran · Ludhiana
High tea in the library by the fire, and the staff booked the toy train for us without being asked.

Margaret H. · Edinburgh
Old house, old charm, a little creaky. Ask for a valley room if you want quiet.

Vikram · Delhi
The film night in the screening room was a lovely surprise. The suite's bay window is the best seat in Shimla.
