Set among open fields and young groves outside Hoskote, this whitewashed villa with its long, low roofline feels less like a holiday rental and more like a family farmhouse waiting for everyone to arrive. A wide lawn runs right up to the veranda, and the estate around it stretches across more than 100 acres of farmland.

Life here gathers around the table. Indoors, eight cane-backed chairs pull up to a long dining table beneath a cluster of glass globe lights, while across the room a cream sofa, a trunk-style coffee table and a TV console built around a motorcycle frame give the living space a playful, collected character. Outdoors, a table laid on the grass invites slow breakfasts, evening tea and dinners that stretch well past sunset.
